sup with the attitude we get from staff here?

[Princeton]

"12 mods" ... where are they?

... my visits here are less frequent due to the "atmosphere" lately. Some changes are needed. I hope with the new "database" system there will be new faces. I'm not saying that current staff is poor ... it's just that there's not enough of them around.

There are only a handful of staff (actually less) that are always around. These are the people that BUILD vb.org. They should be surrounded with people with the same dedication.

Not long ago, one of the best vb.org staff members was promoted to vBulletin Staff. He deserves that title. He's helped many just by being here; just by "moderating"; just by being positive; and he loves to show his work. It's a shame we see less of him here; but, life goes on.

Perhaps a staff reshuffle is needed.
- some people should be downgraded (perhaps a "Visiting Mod" title)
- while others should be dropped (Why keep them if they are no longer active or "moderating"? Life goes on ... things change ... pass the baton to someone else.)


With that said, it's staff responsibility to watch what they and others say. It's their job to promote a POSITIVE atmosphere.


SUGGESTIONS:
- Ignore it if you do not have nothing positive to say; someone will come along and post the appropriate answer
- Merge the thread with another
- Add a link to other threads so that people could see that it has been discussed previously.


THINGS TO REMEMBER:
- There will always be duplicates.
- There will always be people that ignore the SEARCH feature.
- Text is not a good way to communicate -- no emotions. eg. A message that was meant to be just a "I was only pointing out the facts" could be construed in a "negative" way. Which it was; and will each time someone reads it.

Everyone appreciates that real life can sometimes get in the way, but you can't just keep trotting it out as an excuse week after week - according to the forum leaders screen there are 12 moderators and 3 admins - how many of these do you regularly see ? If real life is such a problem then maybe they should allow others to take up roles.

It's becoming a depressing place to visit atm, it's only really supporting my work that still drags me here daily.
