Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The moderator team was looking to strengthen its assets in pro-active ferocity. We're not really supposed to take online appearance into account, of course, but confidentially, it may have been Jerakeen's avatar that tipped her CV into the shortlist pile.

Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I. . . don't even know who Jerakeen is. Sorry, Jerakeen. And I don't know that gender would necessarily come up in the course of picking a moderator, since it doesn't really matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 How in the world does gender have any effect on the qualifications of a moderator? nikki. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Luca Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Before everyone jumps on the sexist bandwagon, I must have missed where I said it did. What I did say was if you don't even know what the sex of your choice is, how well do you know that person? A thousand people you walk by on the street: you don't know anything about these people, but you know what their sex is because you typically notice that first. On an internet forum, you might not find this out as quickly, but it seems to be something you would find out along the way to getting to know someone. Getting to know someone seems to be a reasonable prerequisite to electing them moderator. Similarly, as Nalyd said: I. . . don't even know who Jerakeen is. Sorry, Jerakeen.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I would have thought finding out someone's gender would have been along the way to knowing if they would be a competant moderator... This is the Internet. You can't even tell if the member is even human. We've had several bots that have posted more coherently. more interestingly, and with better grammar than some members that claim to be human. Sex doesn't matter. Wait, sex matters, but not for mod qualifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Uh, I wasn't accusing you of sexism. I just really don't know why you'd expect gender to come up when choosing a mod. It's not that common of a topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Luca Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I think you need to re-read my second post. I don't expect the admins to get together and use the sex of the candidate as if to be a tie breaker. I don't expect it to come up at all in the decision or interview process. My point is if you don't know something as basic as that, what else don't you know? You should be able to have seen that information come up once or twice in conversation, theoretically, after following ten to twenty posts from the user. And I wasn't saying you were accusing me of sexism. I was responding to Tyran and bracing myself for the accosiated comments soon to come from Dikiyoba, SoT, and a host of others as this thread descends into the gender roles argument as people continue to miss my point of "how well do you know the person you are giving control to?"

Why would that kind of information necessarily come up on a video game forum? Stop being ridiculous and especially cut it out with the persecution complex. There was plenty of discussion among the staff before Jerakeen was chosen as a mod: if you disagree with the way we run this forum, feel free to post elsewhere.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 (And to be fair, the only reason I know is through personal correspondence with Jerakeen (or The Turtle Moves) as she then was. It really isn't necessary to know somebody's gender before knowing them.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Cairo Jim Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I was under the impression that Jerakeen was fairly inactive, although I wouldn't know out of my own inactivity. Either way, congrats is in order. The cake is not a lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Jerakeen has been more active on the game boards than here on General, thereby encouraging the perverse diversification of Spiderweb Discussion Forum Hosting into the bizarre sideline of selling original computer games. A risky strategy, in my opinion, but sometimes these spin-offs take flight. If this one does, Jerakeen will have helped. And if it blows up in truly epic failure, we'll have a focus of blame, and that's worthwhile, too. Triumph 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I have not been active enough to know Jerakeen but I am happy for the new blood in leadership. Newer, less-known mods in leadership make them a little less intimidating. In other news... I gotta fix my avvie. That's not how I wanted it to look.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Despite sticking mostly to General, Ido know of Jerekeen and am glad to see even more new blood on the forums. I still think General should have it's own non-global to offset Nikki, but Jerakeen definitely needed to be the full deal. Actaeon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I still think General should have it's own non-global to offset Nikki, but Jerakeen definitely needed to be the full deal. Any particular reason? The global moderators can all lend an authoritative voice to General if one is required, so there probably isn't much reason to have a local moderator.

Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 There are some global mods, myself included, who don't spend as much time in the game fora as we probably should.
