Okay... I'm still a moderator and as long as I am one, I'm going to piece things together.
There has been much talk about moderation in general... and I have read every thing that every one has said in that topic and I have come to a conclusion. This conclusion is the same one that I suggested in the topic... but I am reitterating it here.
I have... despite my own dislike, been involved in more bullcrap than ever now that I am resigning... or at least, I think I am resigning. However, I might not resign because I have an idea that I think would make everyone happy and I think would cut out much political debate... but I need to know if everyone agrees on it.
The winner of the voting topic was Weasel Overlord, which I think is an excellent choice. However, many of you may or may not know, that Tony (Tsukasa) has been wanting to be temporarily moved from his modding position. This is only temporary for now... until he decides himself if he would like to come back or not. So, Weasel Overlord can take his position and I would like to 'try out' my new idea.
I have heard that there is much tension between... a few members, or perhaps just one and I want to try to put that at ease. I don't want people ganging up on others like they did to Outlaw and Gav, because it only caused hard feelings and I'm not that sure if things overall improved. (Yeah, got more active but it got messy to... right?)
So here is my idea...
If we have myself as a moderator, Roy Karrde as a moderator and Weasel Overlord as the temp. moderator replacement... this is what I suggest for a new vamped moderation system.
Since Weasel Overlord has been every active in ASBRPG AND because she helped suggest it... and because I don't think she'd mind, she would be put in as a moderator over ASBRPG. However, Roy Karrde would join her and almost become the moderator of ASBRPG. I think that would be an obvious choice for him... since he mostly does all the topics (with a few rounded up help with others) and has been working on it feverishly.
If people do not mind or do not care, then I would be the moderator of the main RPG forum and the lounge. I would stick around if this happened... just because I believe that the bullcrap (political... oh no! That WORD) would dramatically decrease if not disappear altogether. I've been here long enough and I really love my RPG forum (*hugs* muh baby!) and that is why I don' t think there would be much disagreement. I will offer not to resign then... mostly because then I don't have to deal with the political crap because I strongly believe there would be none since I do not believe anyone has beef with me. (It is what is for dinner... god I must be tired to crack these lame lame jokes...) I'm not a huge participant in ASBRPG anyways...
This way, moderation would be divided up and the ideas that everyone put forth would be some-what issued. We can't go with a forum that has no moderator, but we can cut it down to one and leave ASBRPG in its own little world. I would be willing to try this out and see how it goes... and if I feel that things have changed and the mood of this forum has been uplifted, then good! I'm happy with recalling my resignation. If it doesn't change... then we'll move the moderators around and probably take me off.
I am really happy with this idea... I'm hoping everyone will be to. I just want to know your opinion and if you agree before I go talk to Suz about it.
