Urban Terror can be part of the quake forum...maybe we can have a Mods sub forum under each game that has a lot of total conversion mods...i will add tremulous to the list, though...

also...can i start making the forums just so we can get the basic idea set up and debate about it?

[BunnyWithStick]

If you like. I won't be as active a poster as on here though, of course.

[Blorx]

hehe, i won't expect you to...i won't be either...i just wanna get a layout...and i'm up for suggestions...

[BunnyWithStick]

Hey, I just noticed that was my 1950th post… Woo, there'll be celebration (At least I will be, not sure about you) when I get to 2000. New millennium in postage, heh…

[Blorx]

how do ya think about this...to limit mods...anyone currently active on the Wolfire Software forums with over 500 posts (or 1000, whichever works) automatically get mod permissions so long as you use the same name and post in the introductions forum...then anyone under set number of posts from here gets a special title or something (co-founder or veteran maybe?)...that work?

Here's the first version of the forums http://z11.invisionfree.com/Wolfire_Cla ... hp?act=idx

any problems, check announcements...well, check it anyways, read and you will recieve...

Okay, I'm registered on your forums. I suggest you turn the Introductions forum into a sticky topic in the "The Lobby" forum or something though, it's just too cluttered up to have a topic for every forum member joining.

I assume you play all of these games the clan supports? If not, baaaad idea.

Sorry for posting on the wrong forum, but I'd like to make my first post an introduction.

I've never really been a big fan of the idea that postcounts make a mod x3 people shouldn't look at the quantity, but more the quality of posts that folks make. This has been debated on goodness knows how many forums, including Fun Motion (the same site I found lugaru through ) so instead of doing "first come first serve" or "people over x posts can be a mod" perhaps you should take applications for moderators and sort out the good from the bad ^_^

(Has secretly wanted to be a wolfire forum mod since he lurks on here a lot of the time and notices spam posters way before they spam (I just look at any suspicious folk's profiles, if their URL leads to a porn site or their profession is "porn" or the like, I know they're spammers), but hasn't had the power to ban them :3)

[BunnyWithStick]

I hope I count as someone who's made nearly two thousand quality posts, and not just some troll, though.

How about a "People over so many posts are eligible to apply for being a mod" policy? There are a lot of people with 500 or more posts who aren't necessarily the sort of people you'd want for being a mod.

Maybe not though. The policy is good though. IMO. FullStopSentence. FSS.

Still not sure about that. It still kinda discriminates against newbies who might actually have mod experience on other forums. I think maybe there should be something similar to Fun-Motion in which someone takes applications for a short amount of time (maybe a week or two) and then that someone decides out of the good applications which 4 or 5 should be mods. we don't want a mod overflow :3 and any good ones that got declined could always come in as backup mods, in the event that one of the mods leaves the forum or it turns out the forum would need a lot more help than they expected. I wasn't accepted for Fun Motion modding but the owner did say that if they needed more help they'd ask me ^^

In my world, there's no such thing as being a mod on one forum effecting becoming a mod on another. It just doesn't seem right.

Someone who's been a mod on one forum and joins another (particularly if both forums are of a format they recognise) tends to already know what's what, what to delete, how to disperse arguments, that kind of thing. Basically, it's like having work experience

[BunnyWithStick]

Yes yes I know that, it's just that being a mod isn't really a profession.

Remember, my world is triangularly bronked, or whatever the hell describes pure strongeness. Actually it's really more of a "If it feels wrong, it's wrong, if it feels right, it's right" sort of thing.

Which means I'm plastered whenever I try to explain it…

Or something. Let's leave it at that I guess.

[Blorx]

sorry, just got up...i sleep late, hehe...anyways, yeah, i'll get rid of the introductions forum when i have a chance...sticky's a better idea...i'm also still undecided on the mod post count needed...but i'm going to promote BWS because frankly, 2000 is a lot...i'll also probably promote Coli if he joins...

[Blorx]

alright, introductions forum has been vanquished...now there's a pinned topic in the lobby for taht...anyone here who wants to help the clan grow, please register there and post in the introductions thread and i'll do as i need to to your user group

[Colicedus]

Just registered!
