Thread: Can we get some more mods?

I hardly ever see any on here and we used to have a lot. I hate having to report so many posts, but there are definitely people that don't follow the rules and step over boundaries. I'd really like to see this place get to the way it used to be. I can't imagine I'm the only one that feels this way.

I should add that the mods that are here do a great job. I just don't think there are many anymore.

This thread is a little old but I have not seen an increase in moderators. So I think its time we get some extra help in here.

Agreed.

I think a few more moderators would be a great idea!

Everything seems okay to me. >.> Trust me, guys, more moderators isn't always a good thing.

Seems like everything's fine besides the occasional spambot... (IMO) Don't really think any extra mods are necessary

They're only bad if you get in trouble.

This post is from July. Everything has changed since then.

Yeah, I noticed lol. I also assumed since you started this thread talking about reporting posts and you're a moderator that your instatement was part of the solution to the problem

Not really. An overabundance of mods means there are going to be more instances of mods abusing their powers and acting on their own personal feelings and issues with people instead of doing their jobs properly. Plus, the more mods, the stricter things are, and the less people can post without running the risk of doing something wrong in someone's eyes, since everyone likes to interpret the rules differently. Furthermore, human psychology has shown over and over again that the more people there are enforcing rules and laws, the more people act out. I've been on many, many, many forums in my life, and the ones with a ton of mods are always the worst.

Reminds me of one place where they had riots every single year for quite a while. And every single year, they'd have more and more police officers in riot gear in anticipation of it, and every year, the riots got worse. Finally they decided to not have any police there except a few plains clothes officers, and voila, no riot, and none since.
