Many times I see lost topics resurface every few months, No matter who suggests it its a necessary feature if you are going to have mods in the 1st place.
Lets say you have a mod now, they get “trained” ( we hope they do, lol ) on conflict resolution, and any associated rules. lets say they volunteer 6 hrs a day, and in 6 hours they bounce around or are playing themselves. They never go to targeted tables that need help, so its basically a hit/miss that they end up on the very table that needs Mod assistance.
The whole point of having mods …is that when need’d … they show up and solve the problem. This works no differently to any and all forms of Moderation, including moderation of the forum. The point of a Head mod is to train mods, admin mods, and solve disputes between players & mods. ( not a complete job desc. )…
@MickiFin,
I have a feeling that the pool of actual ppl that would make good mods, is artificially low due to the restriction of a violation free acct… When a player is not “staff” they might not feel the duty to be all PC, or tow the Replay line… but once accepted as a mod or PRep or staff, then they would have to live up to a higher standard kinda. Sometimes the best Sherriff is the reformed gunslinger.
A Call a Mod button is way overdue, if you aren’t willing to donate that 5 hrs a day, then just don’t be a mod… Yes mods also need time they are “off duty” and won’t be need’d to be called to tables.
