A few moderators have been appointed because of popularity instead of qualifications.

I think that our forum administrators (namely Mufasa and Sarabi) might want to come around here and maybe post once in awhile, to show that they still have an interest in their forum...
*sigh* I've finally decided to post in this topic thread. PS, listen dude, Mufasa and Sarabi are still interested in this forum but you have to realize that they are adults living on their own working full time jobs. Did you know that Mufasa has been pulling in 60 hour weeks? What time does he have to come to this forum eh? Be thankful that he is providing a forum for the TLK community to be united. I was not appointed a moderator because of my popularity, if it had been based completely on popularity when the first moderators were chosen, I would have definitely not been one of them. I requested to be a moderator a long time ago, but Mufasa wasn't interested at the time. As time went on I started helping Mufasa moderate the forum by sending him pm's of what was going on and things that I had noticed that were breaking the rules or just wrong. Finally when the forum started getting really big he requested several members to become moderators and I was one of the ones that he had chosen and I beleive it was not on popularity for my part, but because I had helped him out so much. I try my best to be as active as I can be as a moderator. As Roquivo mentioned one of the mod's preffered to point things out instead of taking direct action, that would be me. If I see something that isn't right I will post it in one of the admin. topics. If I receive a pm or a reported post, I always take action asap. I don't have the time to read over every single post here but I do take immediate action when I'm alerted. Lea is not the first forum that I have been a moderator for, nor do I expect it to be the last. I've been a moderator for a forum that has more members there then we have total posts here, so I have some expierence with what to do in most scenarios here. Just kind of funny that no one ever complained about the moderating staff there. As Woes of Folly said, he hasn't been receiving any pm's about any problems with the staff, nor have I. I'm not very impressed with the way everyone is tearing down the mod. staff here. I beleive it is an act of jealousy, but hey, thats just me. Yes I agree that all of the mod's can find some room for improvement, but you have to realize that these people don't live on the internet, we all have our own lives to live and can't let our lives be controlled by a forum. I can't thank Mufasa enough for him allowing me to be a moderator and I've tried my best to not let him down in his decision. I've always enjoyed being a moderator at other forums and so when I had the chance here, of course I jumped right on it. I haven't made the smartest decisions here and I've made some of the staff upset by accident, buy hey...I'm not perfect, I can't walk on water and neither can anyone else here. I beleive that it is time that we do have a moderator review to see who is going to go and who is going to stay. I do beleive that STM, aeRo, and LKD do need to go, great friends of mine that I will never forget, but being a moderator is a serious duty and can not be toyed around with. If someone is going to be a moderator at a forum, then they should be quite active. I've requested that Mufasa remove my moderator powers because I wasn't very active at one time, but he still allowed for me to be a mod. and thus why I'm trying to be more active. I have seen the staff here preform very quickly on several instances and I'm quite satisified with the staff here, some do need to be more active and some gotta go, but for the most part we have a great team and really don't see the need for any more moderators at this time, especially with Nathalie being a super mod. :idiot: she has done a wonderful job so far and I'm now glad she was chosen to be a super moderator. I've been watching all of the moderators here and I could point out names and tell you what they are doing, but I do not beleive that would be appropriate for this thread and really I have no room to talk considering I'm far from being the best moderator here, heh.

Matthew 18:15-22
15 ? Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
21 ? Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
