New Moderators

[Colossus]

Hey guys-

Just wanted to introduce myself and Atom Smasher for those of you who dont know us; we're new to the mod team here.

This forum generally runs pretty smoothly, so keep on as usual. Rollo and Desdinova are still active, so if you see any trolling, spam, or blatant flames just let one of us know.

Carry on!

congrats Hold it down

 

[Atom Smasher]

I just hope I won't have to ban myself!

Can either of you tell me why the site hasn't been updated since 2006? I use other forums with this format and they can post pictures, videos, have Avies, etc...

Although I haven't heard back from the boss-man, we discussed it over in the mod's corner and the consensus is that keeping it simple minimizes issues of spam and bots, plus a forum can become quite challenging to moderate with all those videos, pics, and whatever else flying around. Just look at that "other" forum. It can get like a three-ring circus over there.

Of course anything can be linked to in your posts.

Personally, (I'm speaking for myself, not for SS), I have noticed that when a site allows all that stuff to be embedded, it tends to change the character of the forum, and usually not for the better. It's hard to resist attaching funny or bizarre vids into a topic as the mood hits, and naturally that subtly changes the focus from the subject at hand to whatever the vid or picture is about. Again, that's just my opinion. I'm not in any way speaking for SS when I say this.

So the short answer is that the modus operandi is to keep things clean and simple in order to minimize the issues that tend to arise from embedding outside elements into posts.

Please do something about the site's memory?! Only being able to see the last 20 or so pages in a forum totally sucks. For example, the last page of the Mature Man forum is page 10 , the earliest accessible post on it currently goes 3 months back and it's not possible to see what has been posted before that time. I've asked Rollo about this earlier but he either hates me or his inbox is always full coz the guy never replies to my PM's... So perhaps one of you new mods can comment on this issue?

Same goes for the search function. Only a member's last 500 posts show up, while some of the veterans have 5000 posts (in other words, you can only see 10% of their posts!)

All of this prevents access to a LOT of older posts, all the wisdom from the past is inaccesible for us! I know they're still in the database but there's no simple way of accessing them at the moment. I haven't got a clue to how forums and their databases work, but these limitations seem rather oldfashioned to me. Ten years ago, I would understand this situation, but in this day and age???

I don't mean to be whining, this is a great site in every possible way and I love it. But I do feel it's a great shame that so much wisdom is practically inaccessible to the readers.

Dear Collossus,
This is a fantastic site,lets keep it that way....I am very happy with our moderators...well done team.

 

[Colossus]

DieHard-

Valid concern, but this is really a question for the site admin (Sosuave.com). He manages all the tech/hardware stuff. The mods just keep the peace and clean things up.

 

[Die Hard]

Okay, thanks for explaining. Well, I'm sure you'll do a fine job. See ya "out there"

 

[Atom Smasher]

Colossus and Atom Smasher - sounds more like a couple of lesser-known members of the Justice League...

Glad to hear it though - congrats!

LOL, thanks for the chuckle.

By the way, I went out to dinner with Wonder Woman last night. Should I wait three days to call her?

I didnt know you could be a moderator if you had been convicted of a felony?

 

[Atom Smasher]

Ha - yes, just beware the lasso.

Oh, I'm thinking 'bout that lasso all right!

 

[Atom Smasher]

I didnt know you could be a moderator if you had been convicted of a felony?

Actually, the rules have changed. You must be a convicted felon to be considered for the position. Allen feels that hard jail time makes for a more effective moderator.

Now, for letting the cat out of the bag, I'm banning you from this forum for two solid minutes.

 

[Warrior74]

Congrats on your appointments, now...

How about telling the other mods to all get together and vote on making a thread about the DJ bible as a sticky in the discussion forum. I'd say 50% if not more of the redundant questions can be solved that way. At the very least it would remind people to read first before they go posting simple questions. It may even raise the level of discourse as people will come with real questions instead of the usual business. I'm on a dozen forums across various interests and most have faqs and stickies to sort out some of the more common questions and problems.

 

[Colossus]

Done.

At the display options, almost at the bottom left of the page (On a forum section like MM), you can change from "last 100 days" into "Beginning"

Colossus, I have been away for awhile I notices something at the end of your post: Remember Jophil 1957-2011. What happen to Jophil? How did you find out? He was a good man wth alot of insights into women. What a shame may he rest in peace and congrats on being one of the new Mods.

I love this format.

If this site had avatars, we all know damn well that 90% of them would be some variation of t*ts and ass. Which is fine and all, but that's what I have my beloved porn sites for.

Most of those things are annoying.
