Poll: Forum Resident Moderator Good or bad?

Is this new Forum Resident Moderator thingy a good idea?


To Forum Troops....
* This poll is a public poll, where residents express their opinions and this is not attacking the resmod group whatsoever, and this belongs in the "General Discussion forum, so residents can Discuss their ideas and observations about SL, and the forums*

Where's the "meh" lukewarm option?

I have a feeling we will see 15 votes for "good idea."


Oh wait... a bunch of the selected residents said it was a terrible idea and declined the offer.

make that <15

There needs to be the following option:

Good idea, needed to assist the overworked staff, poorly executed and needs fine tuning before going into effect.

I vote for that one...oh and warm pumpkin pie FTW!

I like the idea! But I agree there are issues that need to be revamped.

lol i cant edit now lol so ppl just discuss it soooowwwy

Not to rub it in but...

Where's the "any good idea can turn bad when it's not fully considered or properly implemented" option?

Where's the "Stick a fork in me cuz I'm done" option?

I don't think it was a needed idea, but then I don't agree with much of the forum moderation anyway. But as to whether it will become a good thing, bad thing, or hardly noticable thing; it's just too early to tell.

*sticks a fork in lash and eats her*

Don't worry - this thread will be assimilated in 20 minutes - evaluated - and moved to 'Products and Services'

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

More likely it will be made inaccessable in Purgatory for the rest of the weekend until Jeska reviews it. After which time it will be placed in a forum section intended for "ideas and observations about the real world" unrelated to Second Life.

Sadly, this isn't a joke

One quick warning...I know a lot of people are really upset about the Resident Moderator program (this poll, while hardly scientific, at least echos the comments made). However it seems that threads about this issue are being closed, "reviewed", or sent to off-topic with an uncommonly low level of tolerance.

For the sake of preserving this debate, please stick to business and don't say things that could be used as an excuse to cornfield the discussion.

Good idea, badly carried out.

Bad idea, period.

I don't believe you'll ever get even a modicum of support from everyone. Some just see it as "FIC" and there seem to be quite a few sour grapes because of it. I dunno, sometimes too much transparency can be a bad thing...

I think it has the potential to be a good thing, but with so many people against the idea of ResMods, the program appears to be doomed to failure because so many people just don't want to give it a chance. JMO

OMG ATTEMPTING TO CIRCUMVENT MODERATION

CODE RED: MOVE THREAD IMMEDIATELY

Hard to say because everybody has their own reasons. For me, the people who agreed to become resident mods are certainly not a problem. You are all some of Second Life's finest, and many of you are VERY close friends of mine.

The selection process that choose unaware/uninterested/inactive players over a huge list of qualified, enthusiastic volunteers was the first red flag, but I was prepared to give it time.

The fact that Abuse Report privacy is now completely compromised has, for me, removed Abuse Reporting as a forum feature. I will be more comfortable when Resident Mods are unable to see these reports.

But at the very core is something more complex. I feel that adding 15 new resmods may be an attempt to fix part of the forums that were never broken, while ignoring the real problems. Rather than now seeing threads whisked away to "off topic" in lighting fast, record time, even on the weekends!!! ...

I would rather see the TOS/CS modified in such a way that Jeska, all by herself, is empowered to ACT when forum problems arise. She should be able to nip problem users in the bud before they start months of forum rampages. An empowered Jeska would be worth a 100 resident moderators to me.

it's about the program itself.

more specifically the implimentation and the apparent lack of checks (let alone balances).

Juro, as far as I'm concerned, it's the implementation and and what seems to be an ongoing lack of communication. It honestly doesn't help if discussions on the issue are deep sixed and if we cannot question things without making you feel that you want to quit. I'm just expressing my concerns and asking questions that I'm very surprised weren't discussed in a meeting held with the volunteers before the announcement was ever made. I didn't think of myself as part of a "backlash", I'm sorry if you feel attacked. Would a little humor help lighten the mood?...

hehe. I like this expression lots.

They never should have revoked your fic card. You seem to have run amuck.
I only mean that in a good way, of course. You know that, don't you Amy? Everybody knows that, right? Get away from me!!!
