the staff here does a great job to keep the forum in check...sometimes. just the comments and attitude towards us gets a lil bit to rude, and its not always needed....everyone here does a great job though...

lets not forget, if wayne or any admin wanted to, they can easily check the modcp logs and see whose doing work and whose not.

in my eyes, being a mod is a job, not just a privelage or volunteer work. just cuz steve is a mngr for vbulletin doesnt mean he should be staff here and be bothered by people looking for help and junk with hacks and mods and stuff thats going on here.

with my staff, i go over the modcp logs and see what mod is doing what...checkin if threads are getting handled and users problems within my problem forum and other request. i watch all that, doesnt take long to go over things...but if i see a mod, or even admin, not doing work, answering problems or questions, or just postings replys and threads instead of mod'n the forum and making sure threads are in the right forum and stuff, then i have to hit them up and see whats the issue with that, make sure they understand that being a mod is more then a title to me and i expect things to get done since i cant always baby sit the board, so on. fortunately ive only had to remove a few mods for inactivity, but my staff is pretty solid.

staff and team should be based on what they bring to the community the site is going after, not developing status or if they are some1's friend. if they got things to do in their lives and cant put in time and work on a board to make sure things are running smoothly, i would just remove them from staff and choose individuals trustworthy enough to have the powers to help the community go.

yea, life moves on in peoples lives...well, so do forums.
