CM Moderator

[Mad Russian]

Community Leaders do the following (not in any particular order).

1) Keep the ladder and Boot Camp cleared of inactive players.

Easy enough.

2) Award bonuses and medals to community members as they are earned.

Easy enough.

3) Moderate the forum in a manner consistent with the published RoEs.

Now this one seems to be the sticking point. It all seems to revolve around that one word, CONSISTANT, that the CM forums have had a problem with.

4) Coordinate their activities with senior staff and/or the other Community Leaders as appropriate.

A bit more involved depending on the level of activities.

No doubt I've missed something, but off the top of my head, that's the Blitz as I see it.

Well, I think you've missed the big issue for a new Mod.

POS.

See there are those that think that the #3 you quote above doesn't apply equally to all members. Especially POS. Now, I'm not sure that's true but the privacy issues that the Blitz uses, where things are done continually behind closed doors with PM's and emails keep adding fuel to that fire.

My main question is how much latitude would the CM Mod in handling the CM forums? Could he bring the forum business out into the forums where the issues and resolutions could be seen and commented on by the members? Or is the way you do things now the preferred way?

As you know, I'm all for EQUAL and CONSISTANT moderation. CONSISTANT though seems to mean different things to different people.

Obviously the mod doesn't have to be a ladder player. What level of involvement does he have in keeping the ladder standings current etc.?

What is the Blitz policy about decisions that were made in the past? Are they set in stone? Or are they open to debate with the other mods and you about possibly changing outcomes of past decisions?

Is this totally up to you? Done by committee? Jim decides?

Thanks for taking the time and effort to try to clearly define the role of the new CM Mod. I think that, maybe in the past, there were some issues that weren't clear until the Mod took over....

Most people don't like surprises when it comes to taking up their free time.

Good Hunting.
