Forum Mod Proposal

So I want forum mods to make my life easier but like, astonishingly, I can't limit lobby mods to forums. However, actual mods can be given forum tools exclusively through keys. So here's the plan:

Let's add forum mods to the site, and furthermore forum mods (in addition to standard site mods) specializing in each lobby. They can be given the following keys:

  • Lock Topics
  • Unlock Topics
  • Sticky Topics
  • Unsticky Topic
  • Unlock Topic (don't ask me why there's two)
  • Move Topic
  • Suspend Forum

These aren't all forum-related keys; "final say" on things like bans and post deletion are still reserved for standard moderators, but forum mods would be able to keep forums organized and in check in interim.

If you make me mod I swear I will do my best to be 100% corrupt at all times and take bribes no matter what.

And that's a promise! :3


I will bribe you one penny to ban everyone you possibly can

because they never do anything


because main has historically hoarded every moderator, so the brief period where there were forum mods there were also a dozen global mods that only ever visited main

what has never happened in em history: actually using mod keys and actually having site mods and not main mods+

when we have one or two site mods from sandbox we've never had forum mods and we've never had mod specialization period since there's always been global mods which is also why em mods have traditionally always complained about doing too much

this is the one area where lucid gave us the tools we needed and we don't even use them

you could always add a lobby mod just for forums and if you suspect they're doing anything else, remove them


i already took your advice and removed all suspicious lobby mods

also mod keys already exist but nobody ever thought to step outside the box and experiment

because all mods have all keys, that is the way it is and it would be different and scary otherwise


there have been forum mods before but i think that the role of forum mod has fallen out of favor as of late

make me forum mod so I can lock all the survivor/big brother topics and move them over to space lobby or some lost corner of the site.

what might work slightly better is the lobby owner being able to toggle permissions for lobby mods.


that requires lucid to do something

i will agree with everyhtign u want the human race needs direction and someone toi look up to and follow


I beg to disagree. Leadership is a costruct resulting in abuse and injustice. History keeps proving that a single person is not capable of leading a larger group. Instead we should start educating ourselfs to form a society that is capable of 'leading' itself based on morals and reason.

However as far as the endlessly mindless abyss that the community of sandbox is goes I'm not expecting a cultural revolution. So meh. Forum mods are fine I guess.


i think you would be a good leader


I think at this point any reputable psychiatrist would beg to disagree :/
