I've been looking through the stickies, and noticed a few things.
1. Where did the Mod Application thread go.
2. Did it ever exist? Lol.
3. We haven't seen new mods in forever, not a problem really, but still.
4. The current mods don't get on often, or do they? Is the current mod list still accurate?
Srs questions people.
I feel like the mods are never here, and I know that some of us here get on more so than others, and my self being one of those people that get on Gaia often.
I'd love to apply for mod.
And until I see a mod application thread, I will apply here.
So yes, I am applying for mod.
I'm on quite often, and I feel like that's a good thing because, I've encountered a few people who've made requests to join in the past, but had to wait some time before getting it approved.
And since I have access to the internet every day, and get online most every day, I think it would be a good idea to give mod positions of former members who hardly get online, to those of us who still get online, and wouldn't mind the responsibility.

1. oops lol
2. It does now biggrin
3. Point taken
4. Some of us do. I try to log in several times a week to check applications and make sure that everything in the guild is going alright. I *believe* that the same goes for aufheben, Steve Sage, and Next Dollar After. I know that all of them have logged in recently, but I am sure of nothing beyond that. kasaikiree hasn't logged in since this month last year.
So, if any crew member were to be released, it would probably have to be Beckie at this point unless someone else comes forward and personally steps down. Or, conversely, we could simply vote on having you added to the current crew and discuss getting rid of the 3-5 limit. What are everyone else's thoughts on this?
I, for one, have no problem with Mr. Awesome receiving crew position.

I think discussing the 3-5 rule would pobably be good, I would also have no problem with Mr.Awesome! being on the crew. but I'm just a lurker really so whatever.

I think you should go ahead and do this, to help the place stay active. The only thing i have a question about is if it is really necessary to limit the number of mods. Personally I would set it up maybe that anyone with x posts and x time joined who gets a consensus approval by everyone who chooses to vote is given mod status.

Next Dollar After tim for supreme overlord! also I got no problem with us getting some new modzz what with me and fami being the only ones that are super cool. Fixed it. I take it that there are no objections to Awesome! being modded? Does Tim want mod, too? He's here pretty frequently and I guess that Ben could give him a wedgie if he acts up.

I would support MA becomeing a mod, he is around qutie often.Hell, i I might be interested myself if the limit is raised, or the spot becomes open. I can already see the havoc... 3nodding
Hmmm, and I haven't seen Ben around lately, does he still get on any more? I haven't seen any recent posts from him, and my pm about subforums is probably still sitting in his inbox. lol

im think'n... and even though this is my first post in this guild ever... that in the spirit of anarchy, we should give all active members mod status, or no one gets it. other wise we are creating an empowered elite that frankly goes against the creation of this guild, this community, and our philosophy all togather.
i propose, that all the current members and all the members that join later on, in the life of this guild, are all given mod status.
given we might, might, get a bad seed who ******** with s**t or abuses their own powers but, how can we trust in the nature of human kind in the future, if we cannot trust in it now. if anarchy is the answer, if anarchy is the great liberator of humankind, then we will test it here, and it will work.

Well, this is what was originally tried. See, the problem arises in the fact that because this is an electronic internet guild, people have complete anonymity and cannot be found or held accountable for their actions here (by us anyway). So when someone decides to join this guild with a hatred of anarchists, makes a nice post or two, then deletes all of our archives of discussion here when they are given modship, simply removing that person from the guild will not rebuild that. In any actual scenario, involving a physically real community, people will notice if someone is running around torching all the houses in a city, and that person will be stopped fairly easily. It is because this community that we have worked towards building is so fragile that we need to be assured of good intentions before placing complete trust in newcomers. Also, I feel that the mods actually do so little, that they don't really use their positions as a post of authority (except in extreme cases like illegal posts), but really just as a job of accepting new members, which they always do, and making sure things are still running. Because no power is really used, I don't think that excluding new members from being mods until we can be sure they are not trolls/someone who wants to remove this guild really causes any hierarchy. edit: As to me having modship, sure. As I said, I don't think there should be any limit to the mods, just a little bit of time for new members. edit 2: so what i'm saying is basically: Quote: i propose, that all the current members and all the members that join later on, in the life of this guild, are all given mod status. Yeah, sure...... after a little bit of time here.

Yeah, sure...... after a little bit of time here. so you don't have faith in your own fellow humans or even enough to trust them with, no offense but, trivial guild threads, just post the archives elsewhere so no one can delete them. in order to liberate ourselves from a government, or from anything in the world that binds us down, we must remove the fear that keeps us holding to it. If we being the fore bearers of a greater time do not have the balls to try it here. how can we even dream of starting it somewhere in the real world. i realize this, fear drives man in all the wrong directions.

I dont really think that a mod is some sort of "power", I think its a responsibility. So its really up to the person if they want responsibility, and we have to look for people who look like they would be willing to take on that responsibility. Its not huge I know, but let´s not think of it as an elite, but as a group of extra helpers : )

i appologise if i have sounded so angry, or outraged. i meant my responses in all humility and respect.
i kind of miss understood what the plan was for the mod application status, i thought things were being constricted rather than loosened.
i agree, i guess mod status could be set upon individuals based on their own choice.
my issue with it now is, i am under the impression that there is a loosely limited number of mods allowed at any given time, and if that is the case i would like to be a mod, but i do not want to impede on anyone else's ability to become one as well.
if i apply dose that garuntee my acceptance, or is there a consensused judgment on merit as well?
