I was going to make a comment earlier but Zellion got here before me.

Did you actually think I was serious? IK tons of people who don't like Jocer, I'm basically saying most people like him.

Change can be good, but isn't always necessary...

Changes aren't critcal at the moment. But may (not will) help the forum...

At best we could just reduce the mods and people should make more of an effort to contibute to the forums popularity.

This in a nutshell. If it was a voting system it would just be a popularity contest since only existing moderators can see how active a moderator is.

If we allowed a voting system we would just end up with guilds voting for their most popular member and end up with a site of mods who can't stand each other. Nothing would get done and said mods would do everything in their power to attack members from rival guilds.

The current mod selection process is the best. Citrinate posts all the applications on the mod boards and the current mods review all the applicants and name multiple names they would like to see for moderator. They base these decisions on how efficiently they use the report system correctly. Next we look at activity, someone who isn't on often doesn't have a real shot at moderator.

After about a week or 2 and most moderators have posted. Citrinate reviews our selections and makes his decisions.

I feel like the mods are going against it because it is jeopardizing their job and position on the site.

The Poll shows it all. More than double the people want change of the site and agree with what i said and what i want to implement.


Just my theory but, i doubt you seriously do. I can name 10-15 people including myself that could tell you that they have message you plenty of times to justify an infraction that should be reversed and it was just ignored.


It already is. If you aren't popular or known you dont get the mod position anyway. There is no absoulte way to tell if they will do a good job or not..So why not use this system and give people a chance.

So citrinate clearly explains why he ignores certain peoples pm's for ignoring certain points and constantly reask the same question. so you reask your question again and ignore all his points. really not hard to see why he is ignoring your PM's.

glad I can help solve that for you.

The only thing I will say, since dbo's been announced closing, I've gotten replies back from Cit faster then ever.

I've received a name change, fixed several bugs I was experiencing.

I voted yes because i think the site should develop . This site was livly but once they announce that DBO is shutting down ppl started leaving and i don't won't this site to close after 31st

About the mods, I'm only here from 3-4 months so I doubt I even meet all of them, so if we can vote for mods I'll leave this to guys who spent more time here .

If even Citrinate votes for "Yes" then there's nothing really much to talk about.

I personally understand what Jocer talking about when he mentioned "Corrupt moderators" but I can't name any.. wonder why. whatever

@Jaxill : There won't be guild rivals because the game is closing, so no more new screenshots etc etc threads, everyone here will be just dbocom members, nothing more.

ok im going to close this thread now as its all been discussed.

Id like to thank all users who had good valid points in this discussion as WE DO want the best for this site and all of us members. We will be looking over some of the rules such as Off topic which was the main one here as once the game closes Everything will change and we would like to stick together here.we have acomplished something here and in future i would like to see more imput from all members as long as its constructive on how to improve the overall site. There is no need for more Mods currently although Cit will have the final word on that. If the site improves or some of the active Mods leave their position then it will become available. the Mod position will NOT be a popularity contest so only those who Report posts (which no body does ATM so start Reporting posts if the Thread or posts are against the rules ) and are a happy, helpful member of the community who we feel will benefit the Mod team .
If anyone would like to see this thread open again then please mail me with a good reason that hasnt already been discussed and i will glady do so

thank you
