I'd prefer 1 quality moderator who interacts with 'his' community and efficiently does his job to 5 moderators, two of which are trigger happy, one inactive, and other two only needing it for event purposes.

The Zone forum alone does not need 5 moderators.

Rufus has had his questioned answered two or three times. This thread did not belong in the Zone section when he began to show that the point of his thread was to point out the lack of moderation in other sections of the forums.
And I don't have more powers then I should, I have powers neccessary for doing my job quickly :S.

No, but that fact that it has 5 doesn't effect other areas of the forums, anybit what-so-ever. Personally I don't see the point in having to Forum PM Dan or Darlene for something as simple as sticking important Zone information.


Errm..

It doesn't have to effect other areas of the forums, anybit what-so-ever. Personally I don't see the point in having 5 moderators of one small forum. I would go into detail but I'd have to start bringing up names.

The question is not does zone need 5 moderators, but should server staff like managers or admins be able to moderate the related forum.
There is nothing wrong with these moderators (I am not up to date about Vulcan these days, but I am sure he is also still doing something on zone).

And I fail to see negativity in having 5 moderators for a forum, when...
2 use their rights to moderate or post important Zone information, and the other 2 are administrators and should have the rights anyway.

The only thing that seems to be pointed out is that other sections have no moderators, while Zone has 5.

It's unprofessional to have that many on such a small forum, let alone unqualified ones. Vulcan is no longer part of Zone and hasn't been for a year or two now, on top of that he is a bit inactive. Supernanny is very trigger-happy and has deleted a lot of posts that I found acceptable. Dante & yourself don't need to be moderators although I do prefer you two over the other 3.
Administrators don't need the rights and shouldn't have them anyway, so that puts Dan aside.

I see, I guess I just don't agree that its unprofessional since I'd say we're all qualified. Its not really rocket science to be a moderator.

Supernanny isn't trigger happy at all, I'd consider myself more "trigger happy" then he is. But neither of us are "trigger happy" theres just a butt load of posts that need moderation on Zone.

Theres no reason Administrators shouldn't have moderation rights. If they can be trusted with rights that could potentially destroy Zone, they can be trusted with rights to delete a post or stick a thread...

It doesn't matters how "small" a forum section is, but how active!
Thank goodness, you have no say in that matter!

Yes, he is.

You didn't give me a reason why they should have moderation rights.

Are you honestly going to tell me that one or two capable moderators are not enough for one forum section? If your answer is yes then the problem must lie with the people who appoint these moderators to begin with and the unqualified moderators they chose.

Elaborate.

No I didn't say that. But that's not the point as Darlene already said. It doesn't matters how many mods a forum has, but how active it'll be moderated. And just because Zone has some more active staff we don't need to chose who will be the predestined to do this job. I am glad we have active mods!
And I say a manager or an admin needs to be able to take action in the forum of his server. The same goes for the kingdom leaders on the GK forum.
I'm also saying PWA's should have mod rights to the entire Playerworld forum.

I don't need to, you need to provide me with reasons as to why though shouldn't because they already have moderation rights.

Errm..
