Vortex Wars

So do you think we need more mods?
Explain your opinion please.
I expect most answers will be yes.
The question is... Who?
In my opinion a moderator should,

*Follow all forum and game rules
*Be an unbiased veteran of VW
*Preferably know Lopdo in real life (much easier for Lopdo to trust them then eh?)
*Be very very patient
*Have a firm unyielding hand and not be afraid to bring the hammer down on morons

I think we need 3 forum mods, as far as I know only Tech is active on moderating the forums right?

And we need many game mods. I think a good system would be

Lopdo- All powerful moderator/admin, he does what he wants when he wants
Underneath Lopdo is 4 counsel members
Counsel members- Moderators that have the power to ban for up to a week,to silence people for up to a week,and to kick people from games.
Underneath each counsel member is 3 Standard mods
Standard Mod- Moderators that can ban for 1 day periods and silence for 1 day periods
If any mod abuses there power i believe they should be banned from the game... forever.

The above system would give us 12 mods (not counting lopdo)
They should have overlapping schedules that can cover a 24 hour period. (That way we ALWAYS have a moderator on-hand)

Don't take this the wrong way but I don't think you understand the design and current structure of forums. Your system sounds very complicated and having 12 mods would be overkill being that this forum does not have that much traffic. I have been a part of several other forums on different topics mostly thinking of my Dark Orbit game experience they get about 100+ posts a day and they have about 8-10 active mods about 3-5 that post daily and monitor.

I think end of the day Lopdo gets to call the shots being he created the game and he runs it we can only give our suggestion as which you did. My suggestion would be to look from within the community for 1-2 mods 3 tops that would like to help out. Given that many don't post that much I really don't think this community needs more than 2-3 mods. I really don't think this game is forum based game nor will it ever be given that the forums contain mostly useless content. The useful content is that of the noob help and noob suggestions and information.

Most of the content of the forum is general conversation or clans that are comical because It really doesn't matter (although I enjoy prentend my clan is the most important thing EVER! ) I do think the tournaments recording and challenges are another of the useful content in the forums. Being that at one time I even hosted a php BB forum thread I myself know that the cost to keep this forum is not free and some funds must be paid to let us all enjoy debating about who won that imaginary war over and over Either way I think that instead of wasting the funds on the forums it would be better spent in a redesign of VW.

YES! It come to my attention that our creater Lopdo is not always here. I have even heard somewhere that he has other projects that take up his time. Weather that information was or is still accurate is unknown. I would suggest Lopdo do a smart move. 1 get rid of the forums and create a few more detailed basic training tutorials that explain basic tatics like building up your troops, and building a stack of 8 1 space away from your boarder to show the other player you can't attack him unless he attack you first! (my secret I love this tactic) Then I would encourage Lopdo to eliminate the in game communication (or use a filter to filter out the bad words like it does in the lobby.) also eliminate lobby communication as well and make the game a communicationless game! If a user in game was cheating you could click a "report" button in which all the data is run through an algorithm in which each member would have a percentage users who reported them while it would also track the amount of users you report. Additionally level would be scored based on low level meaning reported users would have less impact vs higher levels would have higher impact and at a curtain point your score would be shown publically allowing people to ban you from game. (while keeping the ban list too)

This would allow the game to run effectively with very little leadership and would prevent any bashing create a overall better experience. Granted some new roll outs would help fill the gap from the lost communication element which would be more rank and scoring charts. That way Lopdo can focus on other things and more important tasks rather than punishing children all day

That's my 2 cents

He said 3 Forum mods not 12.The rest are game mods.

We all know that more mods are required but Lopdo will not appoint anymore.The first thing if Lopdo does appoint anybody is new rules laid down for everyone to see.Also i'd like to see a lock on foreign language's in game , if they can read the instructions and post on forum in english , then they can talk in english, this stops any doubts of hidden allies.

I'd rather have a system similar to the one that Rat hates it when I say, where a new mod is appointed the ability to ban for a week max, and does not have the ability to see -or know about- the mod chat/forum (Seeing as this is Phpbb too, I presume there is some kind of forum for mods). Then, once a mod has proved his/her skills, they are given full abilities.

Both these statements are spamming , Royalblue you say your a pillar and strength in the community but lower yourself to this.What if Fangfallen came your thread and said something completely random.I know Royalblue you didn't start it but i thought you were above continuing it.The ghosts on here criticize and croak like old women(includes you Ratburntro44)but have no real grasp of the game or care not.I say meddle in your own thread and for L0llero - random quotes like that subject are not nice on a family game, anything sexual and derogatory , i will ask for your bannishment.
