Posts from Dialogues with Moderators Auto-translated

What annoys me is the fact that they operate here in the same way politicians do in real life... wordplay, contradictory facts... bad management.
What I especially don't understand are the opinions: a) "coordinators are the only ones who have access to all topics — that means they should clean them up" :confused:
b) if someone is to blame, then it's Adelaide ???
I get the impression — that your confrontation with her (Adelaide) is the only reason Luchik and you developed this issue... but who's interested in that?... and lumping together that Adelaide is incompetent or not doing her job is simply ungraceful IMHO.
Now to the point:
1. The problem of spam has always existed... recently it has worsened, (it's not for nothing that Drako created a topic about choosing moderators).
Adelaide took the position of coordinator already in the thick of this problem, and how do you think she could have influenced it, if 2 or 3 coordinators before her couldn't handle it?
2. Our situation with tournaments on the forum has noticeably improved now, primarily due to the variety and coverage of new "branches" — but according to your logic, whose merit is that? — it's also Adelaide's, right :) ... and actually that's partly true... she boosted activity in areas like Heroes 3 online and Heroes 5 online... but what about other parts? there are plenty of improvements there too — but those are the merits of other forum members...
P.S. I'll stick with my opinion that tournaments are more important than writing, and that this problem with spam etc. is a temporary fact that doesn't really hinder forum members like me from enjoying the forum.
And regarding the "sarcastic remarks" about my assessment of moderation — I didn't understand... so what if only vbn in the statistics does an excellent job? — in reality it's not just statistics that matter... or that same VDV_forever (who has no complaints) — does he work much harder than Adelaide, or maybe Hacker?
And why are there no complaints about VDV? ... because you, like me, see his efforts and most importantly the results (tournaments, guidebook, etc.), while Adelaide's efforts and results are not visible? or do you not want to see them?

I’ll add my two cents to the “discussion”…

If you really don’t want to moderate, then please, review the submitted candidates, and give them support; this way, you’ll save your time and kill two birds with one stone, or is this also not within your competence, or maybe there isn’t enough time for it…

A beautiful phrase, it’s almost painful to look at. Maybe, for the prosperity of the portal, it’s worth listening to the opinions of its users?

An example is needed, please.
Let’s find the old topic about selecting moderators.
What were its results? Not impressive, right?
The administration looked, looked, said that the candidates were considered, and then silence… it’s unclear whether they were approved or not, or if there are just some delays… only guesses remain….

Your 5 cents were the root cause of this argument, IMHO.

As far as I understand the situation, the topic about selecting new moderators was created for the “Admin,” and candidates were chosen by the forum members, not appointed by the coordinator… therefore, the complaints are inappropriate, especially since the comparison is with a situation that is completely different from this one.

Missing the point… look at the date of the “old topic about moderator elections” and the date Adelaide and the other coordinators took office; they are definitely aware of the old topic.

Frankly, I'm very disappointed by the fact that the World Championship doesn't have a schedule of matches. You can see the result yourself. With a schedule, weaker players could have been eliminated much earlier.

Yes, by the way, the topic is called “dialogue with...”. It’s surprising that some grievances accumulate but aren’t expressed. That is, there’s no dialogue from the start.

Yes, that's true, but in general, it's better to hide such negativity rather than display it for everyone to see, showing weakness and disorganization. As a moderator, I am ashamed of the behavior of forum participants who started a pointless debate in the thread, without reaching any conclusion. Even if truth is born in conflict, we have something different here, which is sad, unfortunately, but nothing can be changed...

If you don't like the spam, complain to those who post it... But not to the moderators, they physically cannot review all messages and topics. [/COLOR]

We continue: D
And shnurov_hl and Andrey – you are both fundamentally right, but while shnurov_hl probably confirms his words with actions (albeit on another resource), you, Andrey, just want to criticize...
We don't have a team of ideal moderators and coordinators, and it doesn't seem likely that we will in the future.
What will criticism and disrespect towards them and their work give us?
Moreover, you can't rely on enthusiasm alone for long, and Kyle, Alan, and many others are examples of this... so why destroy the enthusiasm that remains?
Of course, it's also impossible to do without criticism altogether – but at least you need to maintain respect, otherwise what happens:
Xaker should be removed, Adelaide should be removed... remove half of the moderators, and then what? ... are they taking up someone's place? Are there people who want to be coordinators? Are you sure that a new coordinator will be better than the previous one?
P.S. I believe that inactive ones should be replaced (but only when there are new candidates, otherwise we get sections where there is not a single "active" moderator) - and the rest should be treated with more respect, and if you criticize, then do it in a friendly manner - then it will be useful, IMHO.
