Simple question. Please everyone, especially non-staff members, vote! I'd like to know what you all think.
To me, I feel that the staff position has become a popularity contest. It seems our most active members now have all become staff members. But I don't see the point in it.
The purpose of the staff is to help the admin, Mary, to moderate and maintain the forum.
And that's it.
The way I see it, this forum isn't too busy right now. We really only need about 2 staff members, IMO.
But feel free to comment honestly about your thoughts on this subject, whether you're staff or not. I'd like to know everyone's thoughts on this!
Thank you! Hvala vam! Hvala ti! メルシー! Shukria!

although i'm new here, there does seem to be a lot of staff. maybe to minimize it, you can make current staff be "mini-mods" and just help run certain boards.

well if the admin doesnt want as much staff as she has now, she can take off the "moderator" status of the mini mods, so they are regular members, but still mini mods.

The only difference between a "mini-mod" and other staff positions is that the mods only have select power over one board on the forum. well if the admin doesnt want as much staff as she has now, she can take off the "moderator" status of the mini mods, so they are regular members, but still mini mods. Actually, I just PM'd Poisoned Candy about this last night. Basically, all staff positions had about the same amount of power. But we're going to be reorganizing the staff as follows: Admin: Performs all staff functions, obviously. Global Mod: Performs most staff functions except those reserved exclusively for the Admin. Global Mods have power over the whole forum, and basically act as the Admins helper (i.e. if the Admin is away for a while or not online, Global mods can perform all the staff functions required to keep the forum running smoothly). Mini-Mod: Has the power to moderate and maintain the content of one board. This person can lock threads, sticky threads, &c. but only on the board that they were selected to oversee. I think that will make for a more efficient use of the staff we have...

Well the mini-mods are the regular mods. Poisoned Candy is going to make Sloane the moderator of the off-topic board. And I think Rogue is going to become a moderator too if she accepts the position.

Spamming is ok provided it doesn't get out of control and derail a thread. So long is it's just one or two posts exchanged between members. I know it's easy to get off topic, but anything after that please take it to the chat room or PMs...
