Forum Moderators

[Colony Colonel]

@GREE - Can this thread be sticky for a while?

This poll has been created due to the popularity of my previous thread Forum Moderators:
http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?56403-Forum-Moderators

All names in the poll have been voted for by users of this forum.

With the volume of nominations and the attention from GREE staff it is imperative that this poll is taken seriously by all forum users.

Do not vote for every name in the poll as this will not give a clear indication of whom would satisfy the role adequately.


Remember: This is NOT a popularity contest. This is a vote for the most helpful members of this community whom would do the best for the community.

[Gambit12]

Dirt road Joe should be in the poll too...:cool:

Where was Dirt Road Joe voted for?

[Colony Colonel]

Very unfortunate. I was asking for additional names for the past day :(

[Dirt road Joe]

Nowhere, i should have voted for him too, but i already voted twice. Oh well..:cool:

<Throws hand up> Thats it! All is lost.... <Storms off into the sunset> Suddenly a darkness fell over the lands. THE END.

Sorry Dirt road my two votes were already in when I realized you were not on the list you would have been a fine addition :)

I'll give you a side vote here.

[Colony Colonel]

Tempus, are you creating accounts? lol

[TempusDA]

Hehe no was meaning I would cast him a side vote in this thread to make up for him not being on the poll :)

Dirt road Joe has made some fine contributions to the forums :)

[jonny0284]

Here's where a good Moderator would shine.

Weekends and odd hours. Because it's apparent there are minimal posts from Admin or others during these times.

So, forum, keep the votes coming.

[itsaklayton]

Cast my votes. Thank you.

[jonny0284]

Wasn't expecting to check it and see myself in the lead, after I had been trailing for awhile. :)

Thanks everyone for the support thus far!

[The_Legend_Shall_Live_On]

Will this result in a duo? The person with highest votes is Chief Forum Moderator and the follow-up will be Deputy Forum Moderator?

[jonny0284]

I'll gladly settle for 'Assistant to the Regional Manager'.

[Ratma2001]

I'll gladly settle for 'Assistant to the Regional Manager'.

I am not biased just as long as your in Jonny ! we need your wit, humour and firm handling of certain situations, also Gambit will make a good balance and between you both i am confident that all facets and areas will be covered but you can always call on others TempusDA, Dirt Road Joe, AK and the rest...use me as last though !

[TempusDA]

Would like to thank people for there support.

Jonny and Ratma for thier reliably ever present humor can almost guarantee when I see Jonny or ratma at the end of a post it will be worth taking a look at.

Deffinately Call on me but make sure you call on Ratma first he's got the Choppa after all :) I want the room with the never ending Latte Machine.

[Mickeytah]

I'll gladly settle for 'Assistant to the Regional Manager'.

How about you go assist the manager in the Arctic region?

[Mickeytah]

Let's keep the votes coming, people!

[jonny0284]

Let's keep the votes coming, people!

Yes. Please.

Everyone knows that Gambit is a cheater, right?

He was caught, in a big way, cheating in MW around December last year. There was a whole fake trial and everything since he got caught when he didn't think he would.

He's also a royal dbag. What kind of person threatens someone over the net? :rolleyes: Anyway, don't vote for that guy, he's a loose cannon and a terrible human being.

A sampling of PMs he's sent me:

Of course i'm aware in everything i post, i'm a grown ass ****ing man & you should watch yourself...

Wow! There you go again. You must have hate me that bad, huh. You just can't move on in the past. What a hater...

[mxz]

Wow! There you go again. You must have hate me that bad, huh. You just can't move on in the past. What a hater...Bro I'm not the one who cheated. It was then 100% your decision to flip out on some anonymous dude on the internet. You go, keyboard warrior!

[Gambit12]

Dude, call it whatever you want. Where's your proof? A person is innocent until proven guilty in the court of Law. If i did it, Gree should have banned my account & stop me from playing the MW game apps.

It doesn't matter to me if they vote or not. I have RL to take care of than you. Find a RL job, do something for your life, get out of the house dude & earn some money than trying to mess with people here...

[jonny0284]

This went down the wrong path.

If only we had a moderator to get this thread back on track...

[mxz]

Lol, I love internet tough guys. Cheat away, young blood. Still think a couple pixels higher than someone else are the end all be all of life?

[Colony Colonel]

HAhahahaha Dexter! :D

yay, i have a vote!

[mxz]

Anyone that wants to read about Gambit's sins: http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?42188-The-art-of-punishment

He's the topic of the thread.

[OM-Kingdom Age]

Very funny.. 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄.

[Colony Colonel]

mxz, i appreciate that you have hatred for Gambit, this happens a lot between players on online games, but this is a different community and we here appreciate him. Hacker or not, his contributions here are valued.

please take your rant elsewhere.

[Klassenr@hotmail.com]

@mxz,
Try to keep the forums TOS in mind and take your personal vendetta back to MW.



Edit: I am not defending said player, simply pointing out this is not the place for this discussion. Start a new thread if this is something you want to discuss.

[Totalwar]

I sorry but I don't appreciate that if Gambit has hacked any of gree games he should not be a mod on this forum.

[Mr Painite]

I'll gladly settle for 'Assistant to the Regional Manager'.

Based on the above quote and jonny's push to make people search instead of starting new threads, I would like to change my joke vote of Cola to a vote for him.

[jonny0284]

If GREE didn't find him guilty (the trial), then he's a free man (the sentence). This shouldn't be about assumptions and rumors, and he's also a top candidate. :)

LOL. Thank you. ;)

[Mickeytah]

If jonny becomes the moderator, then I call dibs on being the arch-nemesis. There is no vote for that, as I called dibs.

[It's all a dream]

Great solution again Gree! Ban the ones that talk about hackers.

Im sorry to say but banning Tempus is beyond me. The forum gives out signals to you Gree to make the game better. And this is how you repay them?

[E-I]

I voted for all. Gree needs some customer input or there is going to be a huge exodus soon. Hopefully this is the first step.

[The_Legend_Shall_Live_On]

I didn't see any of you attempt to moderate the company bashing that's been happening today. And frankly I don't care if majority feel that they are correct in publicly harassing and bashing Gree, and even more so it doesn't matter if they are right.

The Forum here has guidelines. If not one single moderator being voted for came out to try and settle the blatant violations that just happened today in other threads, even when CJ stayed on answering questions right away, or shortly after one was posed, why are we even voting for someone to be a moderator from the members?

The insistent complaints, the rabble rousing and attempts to get people on the disgruntled side, the blatant crap that was happening just in the last 36 hours, is the reason moderators are even supposed to be here. They are supposed to get the forum back in shape and kept within the guidelines. Or is this really just another political caucus race for a robe of authority and a title of power and then sit back and gloat?

This is the most spot on thing I have seen all day. Well done Legend.

[jonny0284]

LOL. :)

I'm not a fan of the switcheroo that Gree just pulled. Two, you are correct in my lack of public outspokeness, but I hold no authority at this time to delete posts, or feel like I'm a superpower. But, I will say this (and this is how I acted as an NCO in the military): Vent, talk, rant, rave...I'll let you get it out any way you want. Childish or adult-like. But, the moment you come at me (in this situation, noone actually called names); done. Lock it up and you're spiel is over, my turn and I won't treat you like my friend.

I'm going to have to debate with you over this one, Jonny.

At the time that I am writing this, you have 39 votes to be this forum's moderator. That means, to a greater or lesser degree, you do have some power in this forum. It does mean people will listen to you to some degree. It also means that, therefore, you are setting an example of what is correct conduct in this forum.

While I do agree with you about your approach to handling someone on an individual basis, this is a public forum. That means it is no longer on an individual basis. When you are handling one person in front of you, let them rant and get crap off of their chest. More often than not, they will settle down, talk and it is done.

But if you had three people in front of you, one was getting a whole lot of venting off their chest and then started getting the other two, through their ranting, to also start in on it, you wouldn't just sit there and let all three people in front of you get riled up. It would be unacceptable and would put a stop to it. OR you would pull the one person aside and say, "Ok - let it out," and then bring that person back.

But to the point, you do hold some power. Or no one would vote for you.

[Ratma2001]

Crikey Jonny,don't Sugar coat it just come out and say whats on your mind .... Talking in riddles gets us nowhere , but then again, I have been known to throw a few corkers in my time

[jonny0284]

Very well put and I can see the validity in your points.

I'd like to respond further (and will later) but it's been a very rough day for me with losing a family member early to set the outcome of my entire day and then school/work. It's taxing. And, while I have a direct link to the General Section on my first page of Apps, I've read and read and stayed updated albeit with minimal support for ceasing today's behavior and for that; I'm sorry.

But, I'll be better tomorrow and will own upto the respect many of you have voted for in me with the polls.

I appreciate the response. And I am sorry for your loss. I'm sure some fireworks and explosions here helped distract you some from it. And for that, I'd let the whole lot go into unrest.

Until tomorrow then.

[It's all a dream]

Gree unban Tempus!

He has been great in helping players out. He tried to make the game better. Helping you see the issues we encounter.
But instead of listening to him, you perma ban him for saying things you dont want to hear. Why does this remind me of my kids?

[Mickeytah]

No, no it doesn't. What he has is people wanting him to be moderator. Until GREE officially makes him a moderator, he is still just an unwashed mass like the rest of us and should be treated the same. No one in this poll should be called out for not taking action simply because they want to be a moderator any more than someone who wants to be a cop, and has the support of his friends and family to become a cop, should be called out for not trying to stop a bank robbery in an attempt to prove his commitment to upholding the law. It's not like any of these folks put their name on the ballot, as they were nominated by others.

Until he, or anyone else, becomes a moderator in an official capacity, they should not be expected to act like something they are not. Besides, considering that several of these candidates have quite a few votes, it means they have already proven their commitment.

Sorry for the loss.

[Dexter Morgan]

So the 2nd highest vote getter and one of the most helpful people on this forum got a permanent ban? I hope everyone here realizes what a huge loss this is for this community. Tempus, I'll see ya on palringo and your new site!!!

[OM-Kingdom Age]

Agree with you Dexter.
see you Tempus in a forum that allows freedom of speech and does not silence the ones who truly dedicate the time to help players get better at this game, and enjoy good conversations.

[TempusDA]

Thank you all for the support and thanks to Gree for reconsidering.

To be fair I will keep from posting til the 27th as was originally intended out of respect for the rules just wanted to come in and say thank you.

I will see you all on the 27th

I cant't tell you how much it meant to me and made my day all the love shown.

[Quick]

Great to have Tempus back. But I wouldn't hate on Gree too much, lets remember if this was a game like Halo the developers wouldn't even bother listening to a message board like this and would probably only show these comments a finger that is next to the index.

[Ratma2001]

Update : whats happening with this ? Sirius any thing you want to add to this thread ? can we run with the winners ?
Let get Jonny on the Go...give him something to do...bring this forum back to laughs and help each other

[Dexter Morgan]

I missed you saying that previously, Sirius. I hope this thread turns into something more substantial although I may have to ignore Jonny's texts if he becomes a moderator. haha
