18 super moderators, 6 admins = 1 mismanaged forum called ThinkDigit forum

victor_rambo · 23-02-2009, 02:04 AM

Well, we have 6 admins and 18 moderators. It seems that we must be some super busy forum where thousands of new posts and hundreds of new threads everyday. But we all know what the reality is, don't we?

Where are our "Dear moderators" and "Dearest Admins"?

A humble request request: Some of the greens should leave their greenism and start living in this forum as a normal members because their greenism is not doing any good.

I hope I am not banned because I am tyring to voice against the "privileged".

i go to bed evry night at around 4am and in regular intervals keep visiting the forum and it really looks bad to see so many spam threads lying untouched by mods for several hours .from the past few months i am seeing that many spam threads are never deleted for example this one http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=109139 . it was spammed over 26 hours back

but no mod deleted it.

people post query threads in review section and no moderator bothers to move it to QnA section .

god knows what will happen to this forum..

victor_rambo · 23-02-2009, 02:28 AM

looks like modship is more for abusing rather using

Faun · 23-02-2009, 02:54 AM

Being a mod is the most boring job...srsly !

The_Devil_Himself · 23-02-2009, 07:55 AM

Its sooooo easy to point fingers right? This is how the forum looks to us:

utsav · 23-02-2009, 08:36 AM

Arey kalpik bhai chill. I think this thread is pointed only to the ones who are not working for the forum even though they hav powers. I find only few mods active(including you) and working to keep the forum organised. But the main thing is that the forum is getting out of control coz many mods are not working the same way .

a_k_s_h_a_y · 23-02-2009, 09:58 AM

Agreed, being Mod is really boring, except 1st few weeks !! lol !

Reminds me of Indian democracy!!!

red_devil · 23-02-2009, 10:54 AM

^ looking at the activity info of all those mods, looks like the only qualification to become a mod is to be inactive :-P

that means you can't become one cos you're waaay too active

**ico** · 23-02-2009, 10:59 AM

I'm satisfied with the work of the moderators.

What we actually need is the removal of bugs from the forum.

Coool · 23-02-2009, 11:04 AM

how can they give mod status who did'nt even has single post count?? (phoenix)

There are lots of Vbulletin plugins to stop all these spam posts. You can request admin to install few mods. If admin wants I can suggest few mods.

My Vbulletin forum was also flooded by spams posts daily, but now I get almost zero spam posts.

utsav · 23-02-2009, 11:06 AM

Yeah bugs r main thing. But mods too play an imp role na. I dont hav grudge against any particular mod. All am asking is some proper management in which admins too have to play a proper role.
Raaabo is very busy wid his workload so he cant be blamed

none of us have any grudge against the mods...its just that the forum would be better off with a green team that can be online pretty through the day/night ..no not a single person...but atleast mods should be selected such that all of them combined, there should be atleast one mod around in the forum looking after it....

I know! But unfortunately, its not in our hands to install those MODs. Only the admins can do so.

Ok.. Here's an Idea.. Only if the admins agree, i can take up the position of a temporary admin and can fix (or at least try to) any issues we all are facing.. And i can be back to my normal MOD duties after things are OK.. I know ill regret this, but still i can probably do this over a weekend

rhitwick · 23-02-2009, 11:41 AM

@Kalpik, can we have a meeting of Admin-Mod-useers
That way we(users) can say what we want
U (mods) can say how much contribution (time of course, u do obviously have personals things to attend) u can do
They (admins) can say how much is ACTUALLY feasible or they can afford.

mrintech · 23-02-2009, 11:44 AM

I think all MODS must be active

All inactive MODS must be replaced

krates · 23-02-2009, 12:00 PM

Yes we need revolution in TDF....

Kl@w-24 · 23-02-2009, 12:03 PM

Rang De Basantiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Coool · 23-02-2009, 12:07 PM

^ correction..
Rang De admins & mods

Faun · 23-02-2009, 02:34 PM

@kalpik
Yeah get a temp admin account for one day and clear the mess please. Install some mods and change theme. Relegate privilege of inactive mods.

I know admins will not directly come here.

**Anorion** · 23-02-2009, 03:42 PM

hmmm....
discuss these ideas more
What steps do you want to take Kalpik?

And I think Pheonix used to work around here, but am not too sure.

I think a skip level meeting would be better idea.... Users meet Admins directly, skip MODS
