Stop with the Pity Party

I mean good lord..

If I am wrong, I'll correct it (Which is what I said to all 4 of the Mods when I sent them the following msg):

Quote:

I realize it's the Holidays, but this has been a long time coming. I need active Mods. I am replacing 4 inactive Mods, with 4 active ones.

I could be persuaded to change my mind, but I have talked to the other active Mods, and it seems like the 4 I have PMed aren't super active or haven't been helping out for awhile.

Again, for now, unless something changes (and I could change my mind on anyone), I need active Mods

I am getting flooded with "Why was XYZ Mod status removed? They were GREAT!!!"

I'll tell you why, I have a business to run. If the current Mods aren't active enough for whatever reason, I have a responsibility to get active Mods.

With that said, if the 1 or 2 or all 4 were unjustly de-modded, then it's not that hard to correct (Which I said in my original message to them).

What irritates the hell out of me, is the whining and pity party. Some true colors start to show through here..

good move zab, it may suck, but PO is a business first, your business.

only people i ever see around are prawney, tecate, and Spoof-lar.

too bad very active members with certain social disorders aren't considered for mods

You gotta do what is good for business Zab. I get it and from my experience, sometimes its not a bad thing to have fresh blood handling things. Change is constant and hopefully once the dust settles PO will be better for it. I think this is a great move from all angles though. Good Luck.

To give you an idea what I look for..

Mods that are helping out in chat

Mods that are entering tourney IDs (325 tourneys that needed IDs that I looked at from Oct 1st)
Mod #1 Added: 46
Mod #2 Added: 0
Mod #3 Added: 0
Mod #4 Added: 25

Mods that are posting and active in the forum:
Mod #1 Last Post: 11-24-2013 (Before today)
Mod #2 Last Post: 11-14-2013
Mod #3 Last Post: 11-15-2013
Mod #4 Last Post: everyday

Mods that are answering support tickets

Mods 1,2,3 I couldn't find any very recently they answered
Mod 4 had a few

So you tell me, active or inactive? These are just a few things, I get that.. but the current more active mods are asking for some help and more coverage..

With 7 Mods, we should be pretty well covered..

No problem from me,,, You're the CEO.... Almost any decision you make on anything is going to be unpopular with someone else. If the mods released have a chance to get their job back, I would say that's more than any other "Company" would offer.

Mod #4 doesn't seem too bad. I personally added my 2c for drywall just because he is on late night west coast time. I know that tends to be the opposite of when you're on (Zab). It's your site and you know more about what's going on overall then we do, but the PO after dark crowded wanted to make sure you knew not all of the mods cut had completely abandoned their job.

Mods ARE compensated with points. I don't know how it's determined what they get though.

when will people get that just being online isnt counted as being active :|
the mods not only need to be online but they need to do what zab said and know shit about the site :|
i keep saying they dont know enough which leads to confusion and misinfo being spread around, make the mods take a short questionnaire before being made to mod status, if they fail they are obviously not cut out for the job imo

EDIT: this is also compounded by reletive n00bs getting modded after only a couple of months
