Well i was reading a thread before about how most of the mods arent really active other then Zoph, Strop and NoName.

I think having to all the stuff (Deleteing locking spam post etc,etc.) on AG is hard work.

So maybe we could have a poll for having a few temporary mods while the admins and actual mods get a few more actual mods.

Lol confusing > <

Just an idea, to make it a bit easuer for us not having to read spam, and giving a break to the mods

Well, besides this seeming to be a suggestion (already made, somewhat), and therefor is misplaced, well, all I can say is "it would be complicated". There is not many who can be trusted as even a temp mod, (cannot think of any right now) and because the majority of the users are pre- to mid-teen, there is a big chance of powertripping and abuse of power.

Double post for pointing out something.
Yup, a suggestion, otherwise you might have wanted to phrase it differently.
Next thing: Nemo is not happy about these polls, and if it is put somewhere like the games, there is a weird little group that will answer only, while put here, another little weird group would answer.
If it was to work, it would have to be a global poll.

Yeah there was a suggestion the same as this a few months ago... I think the responce was somthing about the wheel of moderation etc. and people wouldn't feel right having semi-powers...

haha you mean "cannot think of any other than myself, and of course, im not going to suggest myself" :P

I think perhaps if the mods chose 2-3 people who are responsible enough, it could work. But definately no polls. That would be a popularity contest. People wouldn't neccessarily vote the right person for the job.

I believe that almost all users who are on AG from 2008 and don't have more than 2000 points are mature enough and will not use their power.

Strop has told me I should stop powertripping, and the mod-jokes are getting old > >

2000 AP is not very much. Especially not if they have been around since 2008.

IIf there were temp. mods, a good way to prevent them from abusing powers if they ever do is by limiting there "mod powaz" and of course has a good reputation among AG members.

Also I don't think that if someone loves power will do some mistake and will abuse his powers, he will hope that if he does a good job, maybe he will become a real mod and then he would start abusing.

Hmm...What about someone who has been on AG...SINCE BETA!!!

Yes, I am referring to iFish.

I am not phased by how many mods there are, we are coping fine at the moment.

Awwwh =[
I still think you'd make a good mod, should they ever choose to assign temp-mods.

The best power of mods is that everyone looks their art threads. ):

I think it would be good because there are so many spammers in the game comments. We need to clean those guys up.

The best thing you can do for comments like that is just flag them. I think that it is a nice tool and should be used and recognized more.

Yeah Zega I agree, shouldn't it be in the S+S forums? Lol.

This idea was brought up last year at about the same time as now, and it was shot down. Reason is that AG doesn't want to make "half-mods", they wanted to make it so you are one or you aren't.
