Delta subforum moderators

[tereg]

I haven't seen much discussion among Deltas about whether or not you want people appointed to moderate this subforum. But I will go ahead and ask formally here. Would you like to appoint moderators for this subforum, and if so who?

[UDP]

I'm not sure we need to have one.

I would nominate Minde.
I would consider doing it, but, I don't really come here enough methinks.

[Park]

Gilly.

[duality is cringe]

I don't think Delta even needs a moderator. In fact, I'd prefer if we went without one. Regardless of what the other quadra subforums chose to do. That is my vote.

[jessica129]

Not me...but why do there have to be so many moderators anyway? 2 or 3 holding the same capabilities would seem the most logical to me. Some are getting a little "lock thread" happy.

[Creepy-male]

If we use the reasoning that "quadra forums get representative moderators because those moderators understand the quadra values best", Delta automatically doesn't need moderators.

Delta denies hierarchical structures, and we're all Fi enough to know how to not piss eachother off.

[UDP]

Tereg.... aren't you delta?


Why don't you just be the mod, if we need to have one.
You're a mod already.

[Tom]

I'm fine with having no moderators in this subforum; there doesn't seem to be much need here in delta, thankfully.
We'd probably end up with non-deltas anyway, like UDP or Gulanzon.

Delta denies hierarchical structures, and we're all Fi enough to know how to not piss eachother off.

Fi is hierarchies, just relative ones rather than rational ones; we don't get into much argument delta-to-delta, as it stands.

You're still Ne-ILE, though.

[Creepy-male]

Negatory. I'm not Ti-ego.

I can't objectively compare ideas, it's something I'm deficient in. Naturally, this doesn't rule out some sort of Alpha SF. At least, from my understanding.

So, Tom, what this means is I'm still IEE-Fi, though.

Nor do I particularly wish to moderate.

[Simon Ssmall]

As far as im concerned tereg can be the moderator of Delta subforum. I dont care if he belongs to other quadra or not he could do a good job moderating our subforum. Minde would be another person I would be happy as a moderator.

If for whatever reason someone would choose me as a moderator then I dont mind that as I doubt we need a lot of moderating. Apart from some one on one clashes it is quite civil here.

[Park]

+1. In all seriousness.

[Tom]

I can't objectively compare ideas, it's something I'm deficient in.

While I don't quite believe that, I think we can at least agree on Ne-ENxp (I would say you seem Fe- over Te-valuing, regardless of Ti/Fi)?
Just try not to downplay what you're good at due to preconceived notions of type, whatever those things might be.

Now now, be nice! There's many a people who say you're not Delta

Yes, there is a surprising lack of understanding on the forum.

I actually agree with DeAnte on this one. I'm not too keen on over management in many walks of life. Also, I think the existing admin and mod team are doing a good job as it is and I don't see why they couldn't handle any issues that occur in Delta.

Def.

Just to let you know Tom, a lot of people in Delta like to use real life examples when discussing socionics, and for my part, I don't want to see a battle break out where you try to force your version of socionics on to someone or everyone else, I don't think this place should be a socionics concentration camp

Nor do I; I don't think it should be a breeding ground for false information either.

So as you are questioning others types here, out of the blue it would seem, perhaps your not so subtle style of underlying competition would do better in Beta?

If only you understood that it isn't a competition.
It's about being exact and making sure that false information is discarded and not laundered about the place, which it already quite sufficiently has been.

[Angel von Himmel]

I think the delta quadra should rule their forum madmax 'gunghoe' style ... meaning all out vigilante ...

Yes, I agree that we don't like hierarchy especially those who are truly delta.

Tereg.... aren't you delta?

You're a mod already.

Jesus, what are you? You choose Minde for this?

[thePirate]

if this were to be implemented, I think Minde should be appointed mod

it would be very fitting

[Beautiful sky]

Good then I will change my colors to pink and go for alpha because at least I can meet honest individuals there.

[Creepy-cinq]

Does the mod need to be Delta? I'll volunteer.

[Slacker]

I'd do it but I'm obviously biased against Maritsa from the get-go, so maybe it wouldn't be fair.

[Beautiful sky]

Wow, now you think about fairness?

[Creepy-Cyclops]

I nominate the magic 8 ball.

[Slacker]

Wow, now you think about fairness?

I dont' care what you think about how fair I am or not, or when, or how consistently.

[Beautiful sky]

I nominate the magic 8 ball.

awesome.

[Creepy-cinq]

I promise, cross my heart, to be as judicious as possible. Also, I'm thinking I might be INFj or ENFp. I'm considering self-typing myself as one of them, for a year or so. I've accumulated a boatload of rationalizations for these self-typings too...

[April]

I vote for no mods. Can't we just be adults, and if not, does it really matter?

[Creepy-cinq]

No, this really matters. This is serious stuff. I am determined to be moderator. No compromise.

[thePirate]

I NOMINATE THE PIRATE

ILL CLEAN THAT PLACE UP

ALL IN FAVOR SAY ARR

[Minde]

I vote for no mods. Can't we just be adults, and if not, does it really matter?

Sometimes people do actually care about their conversations here. Some of it may seem silly or insignificant to you or others. In fact, sometimes there are discussions where I can only go, " Does it really matter that much?" But still I think that should be respected. After all, there are things I care a lot about that I know most other people don't.

As before, I would prefer if no moderation were needed. Ideally, yes, everyone would be responsible and considerate. However, it appears that the ideal is not reality, not everyone acts like adults, and some people's threads and conversations are getting polluted past the point of their tolerance. So, I think it might be good to elect a few mods.

I don't think they'd actually have to do all that much. Hopefully not, anyway. We've done pretty well up until now. Maybe just a couple of enforcements might be enough to be a reminder. I've noticed before that sometimes temporary bannings have good effect on the offenders, making them a little bit more careful.




I suggest we make some nominations, after a few days show the list of them to Gilly so he can eliminate the ones he absolutely would not have, and then vote on the remainders.

Here are a few who I think could do it alright:

Mariella (the fact that she's second-guessing her fairness tells me she'd be fair enough)
Ryu
Nik (even if not Delta, she seems level-headed enough)
Director Abbie
TheGreeter
Marie84
Lobo
Brian (again, even if not Delta)

Can you first of all explain what is wrong with the conversations? If people want to discuss types or general socionics or other things with each other then that is fine is it not what forum is here for?

Maybe you are against certain type of discussions, like talking about socionics or personal 'attacking'?, if that is the case I have to wonder why you nominate Mariella for instance, considering that just about every thread in delta she is banging on about Maritsa being an ESE or wrong about this or that.

The way I see it is the only thing that ACTUALLY requires moderation is the removal of Khoalas post, which could cause someone some actual trouble not even at work.

Anything else is for ignore list, people can choose themselves who they do or don't respond to.

I'm also suspicious of who decides how long two or more people are allowed to talk or debate about something. Try to curb peoples freedom on an internet forum is just as likely to make people treat it as 'lol's and cause more trouble than what was initially there.

I actually have to suspect that the whole purpose of this is to 'chastise' Maritsa. Put her in a sin bin or something.

Well, after all that - if we REALLY must have moderators, my opinion is that a new thread be created asking, do you want to be a Delta moderator? If people actually want to do it they write their name on the thread, then Gilly can say which ones he doesn't want, then a poll can be created with their names. Not much point in nominating people if they don't want to do it in first place, seems better just to let people speak up that would want to do it.

But the whole thing is bizarre and I have to say that the threat of greater moderation here than in other parts of the forum, if it comes down to basically someone not liking my post or what i'm talking about, then I doubt i'll be participating in Delta from that point.

[Creepy-Cyclops]

lol Cy, you woke up to this? lol

lol, I get up most mornings, can't remember last time I was awake though

[Aiss]

Good then I will change my colors to pink and go for alpha because at least I can meet honest individuals there.

I think it's reason enough for Minde to be a moderator. Might convince Maritsa to try something new for a change.

I'm not for law and order everywhere, but it gets tiring when the same arguments for someone's type get repeated over and over in every new thread - and that's all over the forum, not only in Delta. Like, nothing wrong with thread derailment, but this sort of posts are largely pointless (repetitive, boring and in the middle of other discussion) and could be moved to threads about the person's types, especially if they're actually in someone else's typing thread. Or form new ones if need be. Mods don't have to be limited to deleting.

I don't like the idea of too much moderation, but I see it as practical in these circumstances. Just a view from outside Delta.

Thank you for considering me
Though I don't think special moderators really need to be instated.


I'm not going to beat around the bush and just spill it out; there's only one member who has gone way out of bounds and whose posts (especially over the last few days/weeks) would sanction grounds for a banning, or at the least, a few weeks suspension, and that is Maritsa (duh!)

I only hope that the mods do something about her, as I fear if she continues she may deter the more civil members from coming here, and I don't think they should feel uncomfortable due to the actions of one ambitiously antagonistic member

[Marie84]

I think it's reason enough for Minde to be a moderator. Might convince Maritsa to try something new for a change.

good idea

[Mattie]

I think a moderator is needed for Delta, at least for the time being. One that easily can be used now and then won't feel the need to moderate that much once the bustle of this forum goes down. The reason there are moderators on forums is because internet users can't seem to act like "adults," so a pretend adult is appointed to make sure they do. In all honesty, lots of stupid shit has been going on here, and if we didn't need a moderator, I don't think the many discussions about moderation would come up. Though I personally find Maritsa to instigate a lot of crap, she has the option to speak and the option to be ignored. The only reason anyone on this forum can affect you is if you let them. We do need someone to make sure things are work-safe, as something rather unnecessary just happened that wouldn't have happened if a little note or something was attached.

And really, whether someone is "truly" Delta or not doesn't seem to matter. Those who are common to Delta and are in all the discussions and can spot things easily because they are here often enough is what will make the difference. I don't see a problem with any of the older members who still frequent here enough to be a mod.

[Minde]

So, you're mad at Mariella for arguing with Maritsa, but you're just fine with Maritsa going around arguing with and constantly challenging other people? That seems a little... off to me.

The way I see it is the only thing that ACTUALLY requires moderation is the removal of Khoalas post, which could cause someone some actual trouble not even at work.

What you are saying here is that there are certain times where moderation would be good. That's all I'm saying, too.

I'm also suspicious of who decides how long two or more people are allowed to talk or debate about something. Try to curb peoples freedom on an internet forum is just as likely to make people treat it as 'lol's and cause more trouble than what was initially there.

This isn't about curbing people's freedoms. This is about two or more people having a fistfight in your dining room while you are trying to have a pleasant dinner conversation. If they don't want to take the fight outside themselves, someone else can do the moving for them.

I actually have to suspect that the whole purpose of this is to 'chastise' Maritsa. Put her in a sin bin or something.

Do you really think this is my motivation? If so, then you have deeply misunderstood me, which makes me sad as well as somewhat insulted. Please, Cyclops, try to have some understanding here and don't assume the worst of me or other people.

You have known me for this long, have read my posts - do you really think I'm a maniac for revenge or that I want to set up totalitarian moderation?

But the whole thing is bizarre and I have to say that the threat of greater moderation here than in other parts of the forum, if it comes down to basically someone not liking my post or what i'm talking about, then I doubt i'll be participating in Delta from that point.

To put mods in specifically in charge of Delta would actually even things out, since Alpha and Beta already have quadra-specific moderators. And I would suspect that the moderation here would be just as much, if not less, than in those ones.

I'm not for law and order everywhere, but it gets tiring when the same arguments for someone's type get repeated over and over in every new thread - and that's all over the forum, not only in Delta. Like, nothing wrong with thread derailment, but this sort of posts are largely pointless (repetitive, boring and in the middle of other discussion) and could be moved to threads about the person's types, especially if they're actually in someone else's typing thread.

I don't see a problem with any of the older members who still frequent here enough to be a mod.

And to all of this, too. I honestly don't think that the moderators will have to do much, if anything really. But there can be a felt need for them and instances where they could be helpful, which is why I would support having a couple.

[Creepy-bg]

And I would suspect that the moderation here would be just as much, if not less, than in those ones.

I don't think that it's possible to moderate things less than we do in alpha quadra

[Slacker]

Actually I think look to the sky or tereg would be great moderators. I think I'm too involved, and maritsa has an issue with minde so even though I think minde would be fair, maritsa would never feel that way, and as much as i don't like her it should be fair to her as well.

[Minde]

I don't think that it's possible to moderate things less than we do in alpha quadra

That's my point, actually.

[DirectorAbbie]

I'm in favor of Delta moderators. The other subforums all get to be special colors in the chatbox; we need some representation.

I nominate the magic 8 ball.

I nominate the color blue.

[Creepy-bg]

fwiw I think that it's a good idea to choose some delta mods, if for no other reason than it would add some delta voices to the (infrequent) discussions in the hidden mod subforum when issues arise.

[Suz]

Actually I think look to the sky or tereg would be great moderators. I think I'm too involved, and maritsa has an issue with minde so even though I think minde would be fair, maritsa would never feel that way, and as much as i don't like her it should be fair to her as well.

I second look.to.the.sky (i'm not as familiar with tereg but he seems well suited). I think she is one of the most mature and unbiased people among the Deltas at the moment.

Maritsa is ok, she is a kind person at heart, but she's just not a delta. Socionics works. If the majority of the Delta forum is in an uproar about her not fitting in, despite most of our efforts to give her the benefit of the doubt multiple times, she obviously demonstrates behavior that goes against this quadra. She can name things however she wants, but our collective sentiments about her cannot just be coincidence and as a pattern does form a reflection of her actual behavior and values. I was on the receiving end of such a dynamic in beta when i mistyped myself as IEI. And no matter how upset and hurt i was at the time, it really was for my own good.

And when someone starts saying/thinking that most people in a quadra are mistyped, it is more likely that that particular individual is the one who is mistyped.
