Mod for the dungeon needed!

[Paragon]

Since EricChiz has left the Dungeon, I need a new mod for the site! Anyone interested?

I’m not really mod material, but I can rant about the situation!

Call me crazy, but I’d think it a better idea not to just pick anyone to be a mod just because they want to be. Your forum is small and chances are it won’t face many problems in its early stages. I think it’d be best to observe your members and then choose someone based on how they act around the forums. If you pick someone who is never even around, it’s a waste and it certainly doesn’t help the forum any. A mod must be someone who knows the rules, will enforce them, not go crazy with power (*cough*BM1-3*cough*), understand how things work, and just be someone who you can rely on.

In short, you don’t need to get three or four mods before your forum even starts to grow. Heck, fab kept this forum (and the MMLS site) running for a good long while with just him and Feldinaut, and SD keeps his site running with just two mods. Most forums I’ve seen with 500 members or less usually only have one or two mods, but they’re mods the admin can trust and rely on and they do their best to enforce the rules and keep things under control without making a commotion, often working without the average member even noticing. Quality over quantity as they say. Five or six lackluster mods aren’t as good as one good and reliable mod.

Of course, it also depends on what kind of a crowd you attract. The more unruly, the more mods you need. Still, with only three sections and only two that people can post in you really don’t need more than yourself. A forum all about introducing yourself won’t attract too many spammers… or members for that matter which brings me back to a major point from the past. You need more content… but oh well (if nothing else you could just add a chase thingy so that all pointless chases could be redirected to your realm...). Of course, if all else fails you could always hire the Ninja Mafia...

Paragon, this could have easily been posted in your OLD topic about your vebsite. This is just SPAM. I'd have just deleted this if GustaffGlyde hadn't posted (and it's a very good post, by the way).
