No, I'm not saying I'm demoting anyone, since I haven't really even discussed it with the other Administrators much, but I'd like to know what the active normal users here think.
We've had mostly the same staff for a long time. Would you like to see some changes in the moderation part of the staff? The administration probably isn't going to change any time soon, so we might as well not even discuss that.
Don't just say that you want to be a mod. If you can think of someone else who you think would be a good mod, please say so. If you can think of someone who you think we can afford to lose or perhaps replace, you can mention that too. If you're just bored of the current staff and would like to see a new moderator or something but can't think of anyone, mention it anyway. Keep it civilized as possible, please.
I think you guys should just drop like 3 admins/mods you guys already have way too many.

Dropping admins isn't easy. Snorkel is the least active one, but of course he owns the place. Lawlz and Bassir can just re-admin themselves. JMV and I don't really want to lose the position either. I can say that I'm probably the least worthy of the position though, not to mention the newest one.
No complaint's, besides the fact that all of you overuse the word "nigger", instead of more creative racial slurs.

Okay, so I'm thinking we should at least drop a few local mods, starting obviously with Zidone, considering he hasn't been here since the beginning of November.
"Re-adminning yourself" just takes a really easy modification to a table in the database and isn't even worth mentioning. It's not some tedious dirty job that takes hours to pull off like "hacking" or whatever you hip youngsters call it.
Instead of that excuse, just mention the knowledge of the login information for the site's control panel because anyone with that information pretty much has full "admin" powers.

I say we just get rid of the sleep/dream board. There wasn't really a need for it anyway, we could just talk about those things in General Discussion.

guys if we get 1000 members and 50 active members per day we will get a new mod or 2 now go get us members
Obviously the Admins aren't going anywhere; like Kaz said I'm the least active and probably the least involved in actual forum goings-on...
Frankly this forum isn't really big/active enough to merit a full staff of mods, and if you tried to actually moderate this place its purpose would be defeated and it would be shitty. We always say we're going to start deleting the stupid chatty posts and stuff, and some of us still do, but everyone knows that that kind of thing is just not going to go away.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but I don't think adding mods or getting rid of mods will help or change anything.

Local mods aren't necessary; usually the regular mods can just go there and lock unnecessary shit.

I really, really hate taking power away from someone unless they ask for it. It just seems rather cruel to let someone help you run the place, then you just boot them out because a few users say "we have too much." Having too many is better than not enough.
also since we have a lot we shouldn't add anyone unless we hit another 15 regularly active users
