Weâve seen this topic. We didnât respond to it because we donât believe in it.
1 - If all the daily reports Zero receives and all the reports that mainly concern insignificant matters were intended to âinform the moderators,â then there would be no need for so much moderation. And even that only takes me 10 minutes a day.
2 - Discobot is not used by enough people. And believe me, silly questions will always arise; Discobot wonât save anyone.
3 - Regarding contributors, this has already been discussed in the past. We created this (GDevelop teams - GDevelop documentation) to gather volunteers. People were full of good intentions, but this died out because no one is involved anymore.
We lose a bit of hope when we structure something community-driven following community demand, but the project falls through once the roles are defined.
Therefore, I donât believe that the ideas for assistants/contributors will be sustained over time.
1 - who Davy is
2 - what trust level he have and NOT who he is
3 - in what group Davy is and NOT who he is
If you really want i can find you message where Davy says himself he is not moderator
But that will take me a while to find cause i donât remember in which conversation it was i just remember he saying that
@SnowyRawrGamer You even fail to understand simple question
I am NOT trying to humiliate you
And NOT check if you are not too young to be a mod
I was simply wondering could i justify your behavior with your age
But how you reacted to it speaks louder than words
Anyway
I literally cannot imagine a mod that is openly and publicly (and to make matter worse in post where he apply for being a mod) admitting he is doing something bad but he gonna do it anyway
You want to bump something or double post cause you feel like it
NOWHERE in your message you even try to say
âIn fact i should not do it, actually it was last time i didâ
Not even for a moment you try to think about it like
âWait both options are bad maybe i should not do it at all?â
Like i said
You are perfect example of someone who should not be a mod
Will you be moderator or not its another story which is totally not up to me
But judging by what you are doing
I wish you luck
You gonna need it
@zGameCreator actually i would wish to lose
And that is not a joke
I would wish you to prove me wrong so i STFU an not be able to lift your arguments
@SnowyRawrGamer You like seriously want to be a moderator and you ask someone else what moderator should do?
To illustrate in what light you put yourself right now
Just think for a moment
You are asking for such opinion user who is considered to be one of the worst users here if not the actual worst
Moderator should not do anything that is bad
We all make mistakes but moderator is someone who we all should look up to
Doing mistake is when you did not know you did something wrong
When you know its wrong and you still do it then what kind of person you just prove yourself to be?
I gonna call ZGameCreator a idiot cause he is irritating me (just to be clear you are not idiot and you donât irritate me)
You see that
You will not gonna go hunt me with axe
You will tell me that no argument here is worth insulting another user
That insulting someone is just wrong cause would i want to see other users insult each other cause they donât agree?
I gonna think about it for a moment and i gonna agree with you
I apologize to ZGameCrator
And that is not best part of it
That is only part that should happen
Best part is other ppl gonna see it
Other ppl see that moderator instead of enforcing power and doing what he want cause he can like banning kicking or muting
He try and succeed in convincing other user that what he is doing is wrong
And he should not do it cause there is better way
THAT is what moderator should be
Giving example
Doing something wrong is good example when you are not a mod
But when you are mod you should give only good example
There is this guy Elairyx
He is moderator on discord but here seems he is not
I cannot count how many times ME instead of going ballistic on some users i was trying to talk to them with reason
Just cause i seen Elairyx doing it
I do not want to be mod i do not want to be like Elairyx but Elairyx shown me better way of doing what i was doing
Imagine this
You know guy who is not polite
Who will pick every single fight he can
And he is saying that because of YOU he is trying to talk to ppl instead of fighting them
If that is not making you good or even perfect moderator then i donât know what is
You could be good moderator but you have a lot to learn
Right now i believe you would be not
BUT to be perfectly fair
I cannot tell that you learning as user how to be moderator would be better alternative
Its like being parent
You donât learn how to be good parent from book or from someone
You learn it by trying every single day
Maybe you can be bad moderator today
But that is how you gonna learn to be good moderator?
If i would have any say here
AGAIN i would not see as moderator material
While i would make you moderator and allow you to learn
Cause one day you could become good mod
Iâm sorry to say this ZeroX4, but this post DIRECTLY breaks the rules of the forum in multiple ways.
Therefore I have flagged it, and will no longer post in this topic.
As for Bouh, if you would, please create a new topic for on-topic discussion of this.
disclaimer: Iâm not commenting things above, since i was preparing this wall of textâŚso i apologize.
Regarding the moderators matter:
mind if i say two small things:
when you join a community, especially in the first years, you make many mistakes and itâs hard to understand which users think like you, which ones have enough experience to help with developing issues on the forum⌠and in general, who the moderators are, who the developers are, etc.
So, even though I appreciate anyone who tries to become a moderator, I believe that experience should be the fundamental requirement.
A moderator shouldnât just manage the forum; in my opinion, they should also have enough experience with GDevelop to calm down any disputes that may arise from contrasting opinions about development.
Now, Iâm not up to date with the current situation, but if I understood correctly, Keith is a moderatorâŚ
and well, I think he should be an example for choosing future moderators, or at least someone to look up to. And I have nothing to criticize about those who are moderators now or who were moderators before. I learnt! to consider them all highly qualified.
Itâs just that, as I said, at the beginning you canât (and you canât possibly) understand everything. Thatâs why I believe experience should be the basic requirement.
I highly doubt you know what you are talking about since we have FAQ here not rules
Another example of how well you fit being moderator
BUT OK letâs not be so nitpicking about proper naming
I have no idea if Keith is a mod or not i guess he is not since when i was proposing him here for a mod
I would expect him to say something like âbut i already amâ
Whatever
I am glad that at least one user here understand what should qualify someone for a moderator
Never been interested in being a mod. Iâm too anti-authoritarian and think a lot of ârulesâ are a joke. A lot of mods I know in other places are humorless and boring, maybe the âjobâ necessitates it. Itâs also common to see them retire/quit after a while. Turns out working for free isnât all itâs cracked out to be.
Folks, this thread is for people applying for the moderator role, not metacommentary, self-promotion, or infighting.
Please move elsewhere if you want to discuss the other things. Iâm sure the mod team and those on staff who have review this thread will appreciate it.
