I think Riddler's thread made a good point https://epicmafia.com/topic/70612
Dear fellow plebians, scumlords, mafiosos, and commoners of Epic Mafia. IT is time we take a look at our mod criteria and reexamine what should truly be the requirements for the ideal moderator out here on these streets.
IMO here is what I think the perfect/ideal candidate for mod should be. Below you can post what you think.
- Moderators should not be over the age of 18. Why? Because people who are younger have more free time therefore they can spend more of their day doing the reports accurately. Those who are older tend to work more quickly therefore rushing through reports and making mistakes here and there. Younger folks will care more about the job than older ones since older people have a life outside of Epic Mafia whereas younger players do not.
- Moderators should not be ex-cheaters. Why? Because younger players strive to be moderators one day. And by allowing ex-cheaters to become moderators, you are giving the message to our youth and next generation of mafia players that cheating is socially acceptable. When really, it's frowned up by society.
- Moderators should have negative win ratios. Why? Because those with positive win rations are deemed as good players and treated like celebrities when really they're not. They become egotistical and treat lesser players like crap. Those with negative win ratios do not do this. They treat everyone equal like how they deserve to be treated. Therefore the ideal moderator should have a negative win ratio and be a mediocre player.
- Moderators should be members for at least 3 years. Why? You don't deserve to be Moderator if you haven't been through Epic Mafia's ups and downs. If you don't truly know the history of this site and how things were back in the past. Just like how George Bush knew Americans past, Moderators should know Epic Mafia's past.
- Moderators should hold campaigns and be elected by the members through an election system. Why? Because for one, it would make things more interesting. And two, it's only fair that moderators be elected by the members and not appointed by the admin. The members may make a better decision at picking our mods than one admin would. Especially, since that one admin is one person. It's as they say, two heads are better than one!
- Moderators should take an IQ test. Why? I believe that all moderators should have a minimum IQ of 110. We don't want idiots running the site. We want intelligent youth running our site and handling our reports. Only intelligent people can make smart decisions as to how to effectively handle site moderation.
That is my criteria for modship, tell us yours.
