http://forum.heroesworld.ru/showgroups.php?only_moderators Take a close look at this link. If you examine it carefully, you'll see that we have NO moderators on our forum. Kyle is busy with tournament-related topics, which naturally have less spam/flame/duplicate threads, and Inquisitor hasn't been moderating for about a month, but that's understandable – it's hard for one person to handle 5 sections.
Therefore, for starters, we should put aside all questions about coordinators and select about ten (this is the minimum) simple, ordinary section moderators. And assign them (for example, section 3 has had NO moderator for a YEAR!!). Then, remove the green color from EVERYONE who moderates minor things like the StarWars section, Heroes of Might and Magic, etc., and it will immediately become clear that we only have tournament moderators (by the way, I would restore their old designation in the form of a dark green color and italic font) and Pandora with Inquisitor, which is not enough for such a large forum.
And only after that should we choose coordinators so that they can perform their direct duties, i.e., COORDINATE the work of the forum, and not run around the sections deleting duplicate threads, etc. Because, despite seemingly extensive powers, they can actually do very little in terms of moderation (they can delete/close threads, but only if they notice them, and they can clean up three or four sections that they regularly monitor for spam, and that's IT! There is no time or anything else for the rest).
So, simply increasing the number of people with powers over the entire forum will not solve anything if there is no previous layer that should maintain order in the sections and only physically remove threads/posts before contacting the coordinators. With this approach, the coordinators will have to actually WORK on developing the forum, and not just be present, as if they are monitoring spam. And their real activity will immediately become visible and obvious to everyone. And there won't be situations where someone leaves for the winter session and returns in the summer and asks to be relieved of their duties (and that only happens due to pressure and a scandal related to inactivity).
But there is one small catch. Lu41k expressed part of it, and the other half is that this situation has existed for almost a year, and NOTHING is changing. There are no new moderators (although they have already been chosen and have agreed, only the formalization remains. And, by the way, the topic, as well as the vote, were created with the participation of Xaker, which seemed to guarantee that it would be brought to the attention of the Creator), nor any reaction to such topics from the admin (only the closure of the topic for recruiting moderators/newsmakers more than a year ago with the inscription "restructuring of the moderator staff is underway, and the topic will be opened in the near future for recruiting new moderators." It is still closed.)
So, I wish you good luck. And I hope you will be luckier...
