LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 oh I just saw the status bar from last night f*** it, site's never going to improveIKR? Yeah that's the issue with the site I'd rather focus on tbhAlso sorry I was tired and didn't quite understand your points. I'll respond to it all now though. Thing I still don't get though is I don't see as much flooding as that. Misc and statuses perhaps but those are a separate section on their own. (Also getting rid of Misc won't help anything but that's a different topic) I mainly go into RPs, General, sometimes the YGO stuff, Misc, and Video Games, so maybe I miss it but it doesn't seem like the sections aren't doing their job.Also lets be honest anime is a huge huge thing among nerds to begin with so it's always going to be a big part of things. I don't think the tight-knit thing is bad really. If I wanted a generic forum where people aren't close and such then I'd go elsewhere. I think one thing YCM has over other forums is how we tend to, for better or worse, really get to know each other here. I know I for one was quite happy when I started here (the second time not the first, the first was terrible, 2011 was not a good time for me here. Which is why I laugh when people say it used to be better.) and found people who were so close with each other. And I agree about the tournaments. As I said I've done...somewhat decent in that regard. But really that's more of a problem with needing to find someone to do them then the site itself...maybe reward people for completing tournaments but I'm not sure what can be done with that. Honestly I don't want to offend or anything but it could very well be that the current common preference isn't similar to yours. Not that that's a bad thing and it's totally understandable but try and remember that if those preferences changed it'd just draw different people and push away others. I get about the YCM name thing kinda. I can see people coming in and being a bit confused why the card maker isn't the biggest part, but it's not like there isn't two full sections for those things at the top of the forum. I don't see why that has to be the main focus just because of the name really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 mention of moderation in CCConsidering only one of the four mods assigned to the section actually does moderation of it, and two of the four don't post in the section whatsoever, I consider this to be the most immediate problem right now. I have messaged evilfusion about it before, but no change seems to happen, which is quite irksome. Not to say Sakura doesn't do a fantastic job of moderation there, especially recently. Just that a greater actual authoritative presence would do the section a lot of good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Can I run for farm manage- I mean mod? Depends on what the other mods have to say. Not like we've had really young mods in the past (Hioco was around 13-14 when he was modding Showcase, or wherever; Aix was 15-16 when he got promoted in late 2013), but times are different. ----As for CC, while I'd like Zex to come back and help me keep tabs on the area, he's a student like me and has a lot going on him at present (from PM convo). He said he'd try to be here, but no guarantees on that. Nai told me that he'd help out with CC matters if it's absolutely needed, but otherwise he'll stick to DP (and Fanfic/RP for the most part).Brought up this question after Koko's promotion. As for the staff issue, Night's mentioned this in the past; we are indeed understaffed, especially with most of us either being in college or having to work.Though question is figuring out who is the right person for the job, especially given certain sections. Need to make sure that whoever we choose can keep order in whatever section, and get along with the other staff members (and the rest of you, by extension). ----Nai is technically not listed as a mainstream CC mod anymore since he resigned to watch over DP (see that staff thread in News), but as mentioned, if his help is needed, then he'll come.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 In that case, Nai, I sincerely apologize for secretly being really frustrated with you. But yeah. Just bringing on more people doesn't help. We need staff members that are actually active in their sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 "think" How do you not know what you are in charge of on this site?Nai was kinda put in as a utility mod at first because when they were made mod there were several areas that needed help.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 When I asked Nai if he wanted to replace Striker and Saber (Zauls), he noted that he'd prioritize Fanfics/RPs, but wouldn't mind too much in CC. (Mostly needed him to deal with the Other TCG section; as you probably noticed by now, I don't check on that place often, because I know nothing about MtG and CFV, though I should learn the latter.) ----Then, Other TCG was brought up as needing some extra help, and well he got assigned to keeping tabs on there directly after promotion (along with Flame).

Aix Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 If there is someone trustworthy who is going to do sheet and make things happen on this site, then sure let's make them mod. Otherwise, we don't really need more janitors. The status quo on YCM right now is fine, we just want someone who can change it for the better. Otherwise, I dunno what this site needs, I was going to make some stuff for RP, but I'm busy and that stuff isn't remotely urgent. If we need tournaments, yeah then let's get some person on that. I feel DP would be a huge draw if it was marketed more. I can't touch the cardmaker, but Night and evilfusion can, so placing advertising there about Duel Portal and the forums themselves would be VERY helpful.

ihop Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Yeah please if I'm to hold a YCMCS again is it possible to advertise it on the cardmaker itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I will say one thing about tournaments.PM people, message people you know on Skype, post statuses, etc etc. Get people into it and then keep on them about actually doing it. If you need to give byes because of someone not responding do so. Just keep at it and keep at it and be sure to talk about the matches at least a little to show that you actually, you know, care that people are doing it.
