I think now would be a good time to do this, because....well why not? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. We shouldn't add mods just for the sake of adding mods. With that logic, pretty much everyone should be a mod. Why not, right?

With that logic, pretty much everyone should be a mod. Why not, right? people that can be trusted, well yea that could work. But what I meant was that it would allow the admins to not have to worry about small details. And do we really want to do it after it's too late? Do it when it's easy, so you are prepared when it's hard.

I'm not saying we don't need mods; I'm just saying that you didn't have a good reason for wanting new mods. Well, unless the fact that you want to be a mod--which was only implied rather than said explicitly-- counts as a good reason.

@picnic: I would prefer that we pull our current admin team together before we let you guys choose moderators, thanks.
Edit: Also we don't currently need moderators right now.

I don't think we need moderators... the admins are doing a good job are they not?

Yup. We're handing the moderation of the forum just fine. Besides, there's a lot of drama on the forum right now. Holding the moderator elections would just cause more buzz than necessary (that's just my personal opinion, of course).

To me, it seems like the administrators here act more like what's called moderators on most forums, except for their super admin powers. And every single moderator that has ever been on this forum (that I am aware of) has gotten admin powers afterwards. And in addition, we have seven administrators, which is more than enough to handle and moderate a community this small (relatively speaking, of course).
So, no, I do not think we need moderators yet (and maybe not ever).

Lol, the only moderator we've ever had is Real. And yes, he became an admin afterward. xD
When we DO get moderators, they won't become admins. He was only a temporary mod.
We really only have six "active" administrators for now, since Dan pretty much left. We'll get moderators eventually, we just don't need them right now. The fewer elements there are, the fewer chances for problems. ;P

Meh. I doubt we'll have nine admins. I don't know - whatever number feels right.

i personally hate moderation i have been one in a large game forums with somewhere around 20k people.. trying to sort out problems well isn't that hard (we had a team of 10 i didn't have to do much but be a name and stay active). yet when something bad happens who gets blamed and put on such a pedistool... but... for the # of people we have against the 7 6 admins. We will be just fine.. (Dan will always be an admin we just will pretend he doesn't exist right now...) now in the future i say why not make it 8 admins and 2 moderator. the mods soul purpose is to keep the forums clean we would probably never need more than 4 people keeping the forum clean. (i really doubt we will ever be a 100k members or more sort of forum) now i don't know how many people there are right now but i can figure with activity as it is.. we have somewhere around. what 8 maybe 9 thousand. so yeah we should be fine with the current people in charge.. (well as long there is at least one admin active every day) just my opinion though...

Ive got an idea! If you want to be an admin just report the post... then you will have (sort of) moved it. Then you can kill your need for mod's

yeah the shiny name actualy just gives you a rash. also it makes people angery at you when you are not on good terms with someone and all of a sudden there post or what not seems to be gone. fingers start being pointed and all along the guy who did it was an admin who was just going on vacation and now your in a pissing match with a punk kid who assumes i am just an ass. (well i am) but i am not a... i am so off topic sorry...
