| Author | Giving mods back control of Q&H |
|---|
Currently, no moderators can do anything in one of the busiest sections of the forum, and therefore we rely on sages to do thing such as bans, closing, and deleting of forum threads.
Perhaps forum moderators should have the ability to control (even just banning and deleting) the Q&H sections, otherwise it is just pointless splitting the two. |
Yes; I do not see any merit in the distinction between the two.
Can't do anything swiftly about topic like this :

Sages exist for a reason. |
| Yep, awful topic lasted for 8 minutes, what an outrage. Normal procedure is to contact an online mod/sage, like we ,small imps, do in case of general forum flood. :-) |
Sages exist for a reason
And are picked on the basis of there knowledge of the game , not mere moderating abilities . |

I see no reason why it shouldn't be like misself suggested. |
Sages exist because some of the old forum mods weren't helping. Sages were introduced so that they could bring a "friendly face" to the Q&H, so that new players would get a good vibe around
The need for attention to the forum however has increased since last time the admins visited, and the "friendly face" is no longer necessary seeing as we now have a clean slate. The whole "mods and sages are 2 different forces" is no longer required, and having them assist each other (demolish sages and make all into mods or vice versa) would give the staff a much needed boost, and would put people that have experience in control of the whole forum.
The very separation of the mods and sages was a mistake from the very beginning i believe, and just gave spammers a larger window to spam while one clan was offline. |

Misself, what ever be your reasoning, obviously admins dont see it the same way, or else both servers would have had no separation between mods and sages.
If you feel its so important, I am sure you can directly bring it up with admins themselves, as they are very unlikely they see this post. |

Idealy those mods who 'co-work' in QaH just for mod rights should be kicked out, and fresh, competent, willing and able to help people should be hired. Check out QaH posters. Surely there are name which pop out more often than others. This way QaH won't be left without care, and "Sages" clan keeps serving as a sort of training ground for mods.
Failing that - yes, give the mods back the keys to QaH (as suggested) and after those who are not interested in doing sage work have left you still hire new help.
But in my opinion any problems with QaH moderating can and should be solved by mods and sages working together (should be easy, managers are the same) and not by giving mods more power. It's not like spammers and the like messing with QaH is something new.
Just my 2 gp. |

How true. I can't remember how many times I watched hopelessly spam of the worst kind in Q&A, only waiting for any Sage to come online... And spammers know it. They know it well. |

May the first war begin:
"Mods" vs. "Sages", first round... |
Aint the recruiting of Sages and Forums mods shouldnt cover all hours ?
I mean, when I was a Chat mod, the Head mod was trying to get people to cover all hours of the day, that way there was no 'empty' clan when spammer were coming, no 'dark hours'. Anyways,
My 2 cents. |
| 15 If admins dont create war event its easier for bored mods to start real one. Even tho a silly one. :D |
| Why do some people see this suggestion as a war? |

I think that this forum is fine, cuz it is the player's decision who is still taken in consideration... |
