I think some of the older forumers should be some of the mods. I'm not sure if there will be a vote or if they're just gonna be picked. If the admin can see this, could you answer that for me?

As far as I'm aware, they will be older forumers. I think we should vote too, then we can all get a say! Just my say in the matter, though!

Perhaps we could do a sort of nomination? We could have users nominate two users other than themself, though the users being nominated would have to say they'd be alright with being nominated!

The problem with voting is that there's a high likelihood it will turn into a popularity contest.

Mods will be decided a bit later on. I'll be keeping an eye on the more active forumers as well as their conduct. But for a while longer, at least until we situate ourselves, it'll just be me bothering everyone as the MOD the mod cupid has spoken sorry i'm not letting it go

i think we should apply with a form via pm. obviously, those who demonstrate patience and politeness as well as experience and maturity should be chosen. no popularity contests. those can turn corrupt.

True, didn't think about popularity. Perhaps We can nominate like 10 active members, and then the admin Hero can decide who they think is best, so it's not strictly popularity? I just think all of us together can decide who the most active, fair, appropriate, dedicated, and serious candidates are for the positions?

You're right, Wonder! I hadn't even thought about that, haha. I guess we could just have Hero figure out what they'd like to do!

Don't push for Moderators right away. This site is brand new and quite frankly a new intersection on 45. Give it a few days. I've been an Administrator and Moderator on many different sites and it is not easy to choose. You don't want to choose too many or too little. There's an equilibrium that must be reached with that and the users. The chosen people who get promoted also have to make sure that they don't abuse their power, let it go to their head, or make some kind of hierarchy. So...it's not as simple as clicking a magical button that makes a person a higher rank.

We ought to give the new site some time, first. New members are joining by the minute. Things are going to get chaotic as the WCF closes.
We should wait for things to settle down. Only after the closing deadline should mods be selected. If it were by vote, the whole thing would be based on popularity, rather than reliability. For this reason, I believe the Admin should hand-pick the mods. More specifically, I agree with what Wonder suggested.

Definitely not a mere vote, because of the popularity concern

Especially since it looks as simple as clicking a magical button. Been there, done that...

I would totally want to be mod! But people should not be added to the Mods if they did not help or anything. I mean, a survey/ poll sounds a lot like a popularity contest, right? I mean well! So, lets take a while deciding about it, this stuff should not be easy-picking!

Voting isn't a good idea, just announce when you want to take on mods and let those interested come forward.

I would love to be a mod, I've been mods on other sites like this (other boards of this kind) so I know how this place works.
I have to agree voting isn't a good idea.

To be honest, it's 100% up to Tomo. Let's not start thinking about it until he decides what'll happen.

I think we should let Tomomo handle this.
He probably has more access to member activity, plus I have a feeling he's being bombarded w/ notifications lololol
We can hold off on mods for at least a week or two.

Do we even know how many people the site's servers can handle? I'm worried that it's not able to handle the amount of traffic the old forums were, being free and all...

not sure why ads aren't showing up (i have adblocker installed, so idk) but i do know that this is all free. it might take money to get other features, though.
