Requesting a Re-Organization of the LB Moderators
6 years ago
California, USA

Is there a reason why one is not able to apply for multiple consoles of the same game? While I do understand the move to game specific mods, I do not think it would be necessary to have different mods for each, for example, KH2 game. While 2FM/2Eng and 2FMHD have their differences I do not think they are different enough to split them between mods.

That was what was proposed in my solution. If that wasn’t clear, my bad. My idea was to do just that - anyone who mods KH2 would mod every version of KH, same for KH1 and BBS. The handhelds is where it would get more specialized per game.

Splitting up the mods any more that that would be silly since for the big titles like that there isn’t enough differences to warrant it.

EDIT: I just realized you were talking about Draz’s form. I think that’s just an oversight on her part as she threw it together. If we go this route in the end, then it’ll probably be what you and I said - a KH2 mod will mod every version of KH2, and so on.

I can’t speak for Draz, but I’d say if you’re putting your interest down for a game like KH2 or KH1, it’s implied that it’s for all versions when they are similar enough to each other.

Yeah thats my bad sorry, it was a 5 minute thing because as said I'm pretty busy and I was dealing with the technical limitations of Google Forms (I didn't want to have to read a paragraph every time to work out what 30 people were running ). That said if you say KH2 its pretty obvious you can do all of KH2 and same for KH1,

Honestly thinking about it the console only really matters for COM DDD and BBS so i should have laid it out differently.

Since discussion on this has died down and the remaining mods never addressed this, it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people are in favor of some kind of change related to moving to game specific mods and away from our current setup.

Myself and 2 other mods who are in favor of this switch will move forward with building “teams” of people to mod each game based off of the form that Draz submitted. If we need a couple extra people for some games we’ll probably ask them individually if they’ll be interested. Our goal is to have this cleaned up and implemented by the 17th (next week).

Thanks everyone for feedback and discussion on this topic.

Oops was meant to respond to this a few days ago apologies been busy moving houses due to sudden life changes.

It is sad to see Hobz and other mods ive worked with leave a lot of the complaints Hobz had I can relate with, although it may have never been focused or sought out. I did sense some profiling to KH Moderators almost like 'elitist'-like people. Personally I think most of my contribution to the discussions in the Mod Discord is abit to the left, I tend to go against ideas or promote alternative solutions, I will agree with BB sometimes I felt like opinions were almost looked through which made me less motivated to contributing. At the end of the day I do believe I have done alot for these boards, it was I and some others help that we converted from Google Docs to SR.com. People know I have been removed as moderator once for reasons I do not believe were fair and I do try my best to contribute when I can, whether its running the Relay, or trying to visit streams when I have the chance. I just spent 3-4 years straight on KH I never stopped once and never took a break, it fucked with me mentally and it rarely left my mind any day of the week. Now that I have overcome certain mental things behind KH and also been able to step away and enjoy other things I am planning on returning to KH and also trying to be a more contributing factor to it as well. However if people think my lack of moderating is enough that I should be removed then I am happy to sacrifice my spot if its what people really want, I do try to verify runs whenever I see them. However due to the fact we have a decent amount of mods already and I work during the day, by the time I log on there may only be 1 or 2 runs there to verify and sadly I didn't keep well enough up to date with certain recent rule changing due to the move that I chose to ignore verifying some runs.

Just a heads up to keep everyone in the loop - we’re probably moving forward with the changes starting tomorrow. Might be a slight delay in getting everything all set up since Draz had to step away for a bit due to a surgery, but she passed on everything she’d worked on related to this with me beforehand so that we can start the process.

The anticipated process will be that all remaining series mods will be removed except for Sonic and all mods will be removed from all games. After that we’ll begin adding the game mods to each game. Most of the current mods (aside from a couple) will be given game mod spots after they're initially removed because they’ve expressed interest in staying on and they know a good amount about some of the games.

This was a pastebin from Draz that covers some more minor details about this https://pastebin.com/ghVLdb8M

Interesting, looks like things settled quite nicely.

Antarctica

Final update for me: I’ve passed on all the info/suggestions I have to the people who can make the changes, so it’s out of my hands now since I won’t be involved in the actual process. Hopefully the changes are put into place soon.

Update from me I'm alive and on morphine. Can't move much though so I'm gonna just pass out. Hope all this is resolved though

Hey all still in hospital but apparently I need to actually unveil the list myself. So without further ado these are the new mods:

RebelDragon95 Crispy abandon Thejel2 D_Winds neraigo Btrue Gamebrain

We will state how the games will be moderated once they've been added

Antarctica

Any update on this?

I noticed that game mods have started to show up on the games, but all of the current series mods are still on most/all of the individual games and our series mods haven't dropped to the 2-3 expected.

Is there some issue that's preventing this from moving forward?

Also, I know there was some talk of opening up the mod discord to the public or adding a channel in the current community server dedicated to mod specific talk in order to increase transparency like a lot of people have asked for, but I haven't seen either of those yet.

Don’t apologize for being in the hospital lol. I figured something had come up for you, didn’t know if any other the other mods had any updates.
