Staff Suggestions

[Sparks]

Okay, I think it would make the forum run more efficiently if we had more of a staff. We would need the following jobs:

Official Welcomer -- everybody would be this person, but one person would ALWAYS have to make sure the person is welcomed and such

Officer -- we'd have one for each section of the board and one for the entire place; their posts informing somebody of rule-breaking will not be considered spam

Spam Hunter -- Currently done by Heathen, this person goes through the entire board and deletes all the spam, and then posts the number of spams by everybody

Advertiser -- Another job everybody could do, but one main person or whatnot; needs good social skills

Keeper -- This is the guy that has all of the passwords. They pass them out to the new players, making sure they have access to their house. This member most be honourable and loyal.

This group of people (the main jobs) would be considered the Forum Council or some other catchy name. Like the other councils, they'd have a special forum to discuss different ideas and problems that they want to keep private.


These are just some ideas. If anybody else has any others, please post them, but do not post, 'okay', 'good idea', and other stupid posts like that.

How about:

Battle judge- like someone to make sure all the battles are fair and no one is dodging what they shouldn't be.

[Sparks]

That's a good idea--whoops, just broke my own rule.

Anyways, I was thinking of that staff as ACTUAL BOARD staff, not RP staff. I guess you can also post RP staff here.


Tracker -- Keeps track of all the ongoing battles and where everybody is RPing. (so we don't have people RPing in three places)


Champion -- Somebody for each race that works for all the other races; they break up fighting that should not be happening.

ex: attacking somebody for no good reason, n00b bashing, etc.

*Administrators/Moderators/Officers would have to decide if they needed to get in or whatnot.


More suggestions?

[Royal]

How about a few new Moderators, I'v noticed that a few forumns arn't being kept track of. And just thought it would help to have more people looking at them.

[Sparks]

Royal, there's already such thing as a moderator--ON EVERY FORUM.


Alert Team -- Maybe three or four people who work together to prevent abusing of power and/or fighting between members outside of the RP. They will immediately report this behavior to a moderator or administrator, so they can decide if it's in need of just a warning or banning or whatever.

Moose (term comes from other forum...) -- The term [MOOSE] comes from the Iyari Limon forum, for when a member tries to cheat spelling--instant message abbreviations, bad punctuation, etc.

*Change the thing from Moose to something else. Why is it that whenever I say Moose I think of Moose from Dark Coven Forums?

[Royal]

Wouldn't an Alert Team be just a friggen tattle tale. It would be kind of bad to be a lil snitch on anyone over a little dispute and getting them in trouble.

And could you explain the Moose thing a little more to me. From what it sounds like it's just someone going around spelling things the right was (a waste of time).

Another suggestion of a staff member:

Time Investigator: Someone who would watch the matches like a judge but can close a match if someone didn't reply for like a week or 2. Most people unless on vacation or something should be able to get on the site at LEAST once 2 or 3 times a week to finish a match or keep it going or whatever.

[Sparks]

The Time Investigator and my Tracker seem quite similar, so we could combine them.

The Tracker (or whatever name) would keep track of ongoing battles to prevent double RPing AND make sure people were still replying to the thread--make sure it wasn't dead.


Designers -- Work on the weapons part of the code or just ideas. I know we're moving soon, so I don't know how great they would be.

Smarties -- Okay, so I love the candy and it has Arties in it. I figured we could have a group of artistic minds to help design new layouts and such. They could also co-create weapons and such with the designers.

[Lanfear]

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. I will try to impliment some of them on the new board.

I hate to give myself deadlines but roughly expect to shift to the new board in 2 weeks. Everyone will start afresh for fairness aswell.

Please Note that the new forum is graphics intensive. It uploads realitively fast for me and I'm on a bad 56k dialup. This is just a notice for people who may have images disabled in their web browser.

[Raze1]

well if you have all them positions i would like to fill one maybe the one who works on the layouts or something or a designer i would be good for that cuz i look up weapons and sorta post them to see wat everyone thinks

[Sparks]

Kiddo, that post belongs in a PM.

Lanfear, I thought you were still deciding on whether or not to have everybody start over or whatnot? Or leave it to Heathen and Xandiar?

Noter -- This person takes notes on complaints and problems with the site and reports them to a moderator or administrator.

[Lanfear]

This is the Final verdict:


Since Heathen or Xandiar haven't been on when I have been for a while I have decided the following:

The following jobs will be used.
Don't go asking k, I'm not in the mood for job interviewing and contemplating yet.

-Password Keeper

-The official welcomer will be changed into a Noob master/Mistress. They will be the member to contact for new members who are unsure and need help in the RPG. The welcomer idea is good but its kind of a spam job aswell ^^,'

-Battle judge- like someone to make sure all the battles are fair and no one is dodging what they shouldn't be. Definitely needed but no RPG member will be used for this. Its only fair to use someone outside the game to judge I think but I still have to think this over.

The rest, eg trackers and such are summed up by the moderator job so they may not have a distictive job.

As for designers and ideas ppl. Weapons will not be able to be baught in the new RPG so there is no need for those kind of jobs. Idea's ppl can be anyone contributing a sugestion.

//Champion -- Somebody for each race that works for all the other races; they break up fighting that should not be happening. //
The Clan/coven/faction you join should have a leader. They are the ones who should be breaking up fights and such.
