to help you cope with this startling reality I'll explain why you're wrong if you think lobby mods are a good thing
lobby mods do not curtail the authority of site mods. site mods have and will always enforce community guidelines in the primary lobbies
although lobby mods don't replace site mods, they enforce their own biased 'rules' and only serve to punish users who wouldn't otherwise be punished for trivial nonsense
you might be drawing invalid conclusions from the fact we currently have two sandbox site mods (bebop and I guess merlot). they are not the product of lobby mods, they're site mods from sandbox and as long as sandbox has at least one site mod concerned with reports from sandbox you'll get your 'relatable' bans
it's not a generic question it's a legitimate worry. Most lobby owners stop caring after a while. I think you'll stop caring after a while because you will think it's no longer worth the effort
"outline and negotiate moderating policy with site mods who can actually give violations for offenses"
This is what I want an answer too.
Also
I like boosting activity and seeing the lobby be more active but every owner stops caring after a while, will you be caring or will you give up after a few weeks or months because not everything goes your way
ill update polls whenever i feel like the previous poll ran its course
backgrounds will be a surprise because you don't want everything to be too predictable that's boring
there's another discussion going on about forums go there
what? i said no lobby mods, site mods will do what they've always done. i prefer site mods FROM sandbox, as does all of sandbox. these aren't sandbox lobby mods, these are site mods from sandbox who understand sandbox. lobby mods are redundant
Will you be making a backgrounds thread soon like you did with banners and setups
I don't agree with how you plan on handling the subforums. I prefer organization and more broad areas of discussion means more organization and it's easier to find things and see what's actively being talked about. Less subforums means new topics are more easily drowned out.
You said negotiate but before you planned to just leave stuff up to the site mods, are you going to tell them how you want them to moderate sandbox? Doesn't that go against the point of your policy?
Also you've stated that moderators have a completely different set of guidelines in sandbox. Read through mod actions and tell me how most of them would be no vio's by actual site mods, certainly with bebop overseeing it. I'm honestly curious.
