NO MORE ASKING, NO MORE BS

[SushiTheLegend]

Right, I may have mentioned this before but I'll say it again. Think before you go around asking Moderators questions like "Can I have a name change". Firstly Normal Moderators AKA the ones who only moderate sections or a section like myself can only change THEIR OWN NAME. Nothing else, so don't ask them. As for Super Moderators, while they can...it's tedious. So the best thing I can say is, choose a name you'll be happy with. If you've kept a name for a long time and you ask a Super, chances are you'll have more luck.

Why not? Mods would stop nearly killing people.

 

It's funny how people can't understand who to ask. All they have to do is read, isn't that hard. Lol.

[01alim]

Wait. What's so 'tedious'?

 

I'm curious, not taking a stab.

 

(Psst, haven't been here for ages, this is the first thread I opened, haha, bare with me.)

[SushiTheLegend]

You sit in the name changer seat for a few months, people constantly PMing you every day about name changes. Wouldn't you get sick of it? Well that's how I see it.

Or whatever the meme was, funk I forgot it.

That's not tedious. That's just a barrage of annoyance.

Annoying tasks become tedious.

Forgive me, but where does it say a member cannot PM a Moderator to ask a question about the Forum?

No, I don't think I did.

This Moderator is clearly upset that members keep Private Messaging him for name changes, when in fact he has no power to give them out. But like I stated in my post it is not against the rules for a member to Private Message a Moderator to ask a question about the Forum.

If it is hard work to open and close a Private Message then maybe the Moderator should find a solace in a different line of work?

The fact remains that people continue to Private Message the wrong Moderator in everyday situations because the members aren't clearly informed of which Moderator goes where, and what their powers are.

The only viable way to fix this Moderators problem, is to fix the problem with clarification.

I support this Thread. Maybe another person might remember to PM a Super Mod next time.

It's not a question about the forum, it's a question of personal interest. (E.G., one that doesn't have any benefit to the moderator's party and requires work form their end.) It's easy to see why we don't like changing names, especially because accessing the apparatus that changes them can be pretty annoying.

Then if Normal Moderators don't like receiving Private Messages asking for work that someone else has to do, make it so that members know who to contact.

[01alim]

~Who~ do I ask?

 

I don't see any sign of a list telling us who the Super-Mods are.

 

I am blind though. Thanks.

OK i have a few things to say on this subject;

 

1: Sushi if your sick of all the PM's from members why not add a rule that says name changes can only be changed by a Super-mod or an Admin. This will take care of half the stress, but you have to understand that their are going to be people who do not realise that normal Moderators cannot change names its part of life.

 

2: If you are a super-mod then you shouldn't be complaining its part of your job do it. Being a Super-mod on a forum has responsibilities their fore if you don't change them in a then your not doing your job. If you cannot handle it do what Icyblue did by adding that it is to stressful at the moment and you may get to them later.

 

3: Nothing against any moderator and I'm not sure why the thread was unstickied and locked, but that is why the mods first created the "Name Change Thread". Now that its locked it seems to be causing so much problems. Hmmm let me think if theirs a problem on the forum because we unstickied and locked a thread that would stop the problem why not reopen it and designate a few super-mods for the job. It's not hard people it's common sense.

 

Further more Sushi why must you take it upon yourself to create this useless thread for the soul purpose of spam and arguments, First this shouldn't be a debate no one else should have an opinion on it, lock the thread stop crying and fix the problem with a solution like reopening the Name Change Thread.

[Guest JoshIcy]

Umm... I should really fix that thing in my sig...

But I rarely do name changes for a few reasons, and it's far from personal.

 

1) Most sites almost NEVER allow name changes.

2) People almost always outright demand.

3) Some new usernames require special characters which some browsers and computers cannot identify, resulting in rectangular boxes. And I will not cripple them because you wanna look different.

4) Going into the Admin CP is work in itself, and far different from standard moderating. As a result, I only go in there to handle bans and IP related businesses.

 

So yeah...

Most definitely this, Skuldur is correct once again. I was the one who got Browarod to start that system in the first place, but as usual it was unknown what I do behind the scenes.

 

As for the thread Sushi, it wasn't needed. This should be discussed in the Mod Forum, the News forum is not for you to go mental at people that PM you. That is pure abuse of powers and idiocy. Learn to keep your cool.

Haha, this point was so pathetic. Going into the Admin CP requires little to no work at all, and it is barely different to standard moderating to someone like me. Don't try to bs.

[Holy R. Enigma]

I must say, someone seems like to make excuses. Though I can somewhat understand what Sushi is going through, in a sense. Personal preference shouldn't interfere in the jobs of "the Team Staff" even if it goes against one's self moral code. >>;;

 

I would like if the name change rule came back where you can only ask for it every 3 months. =O

 

Though I haven't changed my name in the 2 years I have been here, and I probably never will. Probably because of I am too lazy to get my named changed on a forum I just returned to. >>;;

Way to be an jabroni. You've not been in the YCM ACP. And it requires a lot of menial clicking, preventing one from multitasking. Nor does it allow me to view the board while in the ACP in the same window, as so many good forums let you.

 

So it's time consuming. Kind of like waiting for the bus... You hate sitting around waiting for it to come to you, when you could be using that time to do something else. But because you're dependent on it, you can't just do something else.

[~ P O L A R I S ~]

Can't we at least get FP to change the Normal Moderators' permissions to be able to change others' names or something?

 

Ideally we'd have a system in which members can change their own names, but only so many times within a certain period of time. I've seen this before on other forums and it seems like the best way to go about things.

Eh, I'm fairly sure SAW and YCM have the same or at least a very similar ACP being MyBB-based, but w/e it's not an area of much background knowledge for me so I'll stay out. ^_^
