Hello. First off, this is no x-post of thread us UnrealSoftware Future, neither I want to offend anyone with this thread. First off, US.de is a nice place, but since some time it gets messed up. Obviously, it was time to search for new moderators, but the way it was elected is just careless, half-hearted, incorrect. I will be going into subjects now directly:

> The moderator election was off the thread us Moderator election - Suggestions.

[13:22:54] <@ohaz> oh, DC just made everyone I suggested a mod.
[13:22:58] <@ohaz> that lazy bastard

Original:
Spoiler >


Actually, this is not totally correct, ohaz suggested some else, however, it shows that current moderators have more insight than DC himself, moreover, this shows that current moderators have control about who to be moderators. This is an absolutely incorrect behaviour.

[21:26:47] <@ohaz> nein
[21:26:55] <@ohaz> ich will majateka nicht als mod
[21:26:58] <@ohaz> der ist übelst arrogant


another example, in which ohaz states that majateka is arrogant and he doesn't want him as mod. Nonetheless, majateka is not the only choice, but let's get more in depth.

> Who is now moderator?

- Kimkat: Kimmy is a nice person actually, however, he misinterprets situations due to being inexperienced.

[13:58:01] David: You're unfair moderator.
[13:58:06] Kim: Not really.
[13:58:12] David: He just don't understands DC.
[13:58:22] Kim: He tries to troll.
[13:58:25] Kim: That's what he is doing.
[13:58:29] Kim: He isn't showing good behavior.


If Yates had to be banned for showing bad behaviour, DC would've done that already.

- Factis: He is "David" on the chat above. In all my experience on US.de (and that should be 4 years now), he is still too immature to do his job correctly.

- 0A: Is the only option we all agree with totally, however, he doesn't really want to care about anything here it seems.

There is missing maturity in the whole US.de for around 2 years now, excessively. You need moderators who fight against that actively. 3 of 6 moderators were not caring about it before. Because it's a hard job.

This seemed to be a random selection instead of an election, which is plainly wrong. Some users are way more suited for these situations, and still, it's just all about who was nice and neat all the time to any person in here. I lost my temper months ago.

Too many moderators are living in the same timezone, this doesn't cover parts of US.de in their night for example. Also, many moderators are studying and have less or no time to watch on US.de entirely.

If there's not dealt with this situation soon enough, US.de will become a messy place, the website is only poised on the brink of failure as incompetent moderation will pull the website into the abyss of websites that have forum moderators that are either too lax, or too punishing/strict and as a result no one will want to go to the forums anymore because not only the forums, but the website in its entirety will be either a complete mess of negligence, or bound by ironclad rules that will scare newcomers away with its inflexible regime of rules.

Unrealsoftware can't only live from its current users, CS2D or File Archive. The forum is an important point on the website, new users are essential.

In the names of: user Tobey, user EngiN33R, user Majatek, user Yates, user Mechanolith, user mafia_man, user palomino, user DannyDeth, user Time, user Doberman and uPrate6.

@user WinterPwnd: Actually Joao cares little about Unreal Software. Flacko, Vectar, Starkkz, Majateka, Pikachu , Looser - All of these are sensible enough people to actually do a good job at being a moderator. And none of them behave like assholes, in fact they are far, far better then the newly elected ones. DC should reconsider who he gave the rights to.

It is rather sad seeing this site go to waste over poor moderation, user DC is ok at what he does, but he really should look further into selecting moderators - What you've posted in this thread hits many good points, and I can only hope this problem gets rectified lest the moderators that are currently selected only further prove your points by ruining what this website could have been.

Oh, I'm glad to see more people which thinks being moderator is being a Superman. Since when "not-posting" made people inactive? I don't know what do you guys expect. Post in every single thread or file like Yates did? Nope, sorry.

@user Tobey Maybe he wanted the mods to do it for him, and he clearly had no reason to post something like he did. Why post if you can't contribute to the topic? that's why I thought he kind of violated Rules §5.1 - Show good behavior and simply don't be a stupid asshole, didn't he? at least that's what I think. I also thought it was quite reasonable to do it. Else the rules are unclear to me and needs to be further explained in detail, because it might be kind of confusing to determine what's good and what's not.
I apologize but this is what I thought earlier, I apologize for this mistake. I had interpreted the text wrongly. It won't happen again.

@user KimKat: Firstly, I don't see any content that looks like flame in Yates' post.

Secondly, a post about not understanding in a topic such as the one Yates posted in seems perfectly justified to me.

Well I'm sorry but the rules must be respected no matter what and I do believe we want a peaceful atmosphere here rather than a flame war, so I'm sorry for any inconvenience I caused however I don't deserved to be flamed anyhow. It's just not logical. People are mad about the decision of mods, I can understand that but they don't understand that changes that's the way it is.
