Title: New Global Moderators
Post by: Ivory on August 23, 2012, 10:37:22 PM
Hey all you megaman fans!

First, with my departure from Global Moderator to Admin, someone needs to take up the mantle of head global moderator. Korby is now promoted to that position~

Second, With my promotion to being an admin, Korby is now rather alone. Being the sole active global moderator left, I thought it was about time we finally had some new recruits join the Global Mod team.

Such individuals are hard to select. Trying to find someone who is capable of being friendly, yet still capable of dropping the hammer when needed. Someone who can help out the newcomers without growing angry at them for not understanding. Someone who can be capable of listening to both sides of a disagreement and ignoring pride and friendships to remain as neutral as possible. To be someone who would always act with the best intentions in mind and of course, they also need enough time on their hand to dedicate to the community. Being a Global Moderator is no easy job, and it's definitely not something just anyone can do.

Korby and I have spent months thinking about all the possible recruits. And we believe we found two people who are qualified enough to give it a shot.

With no further hesitation, I am pleased to announce the newest members of Cutstuff to take up the mantle of global moderator,

Llamahombre and Sora~!

*AHEM*

Let's start on a positive note. Congratulations on your modship Sora! I hope you do well at being a moderator.

However, it is time I call something to the attention of this community. This statement right here is the matter in question:

Quote from: "Ivory"
ignoring pride and friendships to remain as neutral as possible

I'm afraid that although this is true for Sora, not so much for LlamaHombre.

Some of you may know about this, for it was not long ago. In fact, it was in the merry merry month of May.

I was just being an average person in the Cutstuff Community Chat on Skype. (Wat IV to be specific) when some people singled me out; a certain group of prideful people: this group included (but is not limited to) LlamaHombre, Kenkoru, Roc's Creation (Tesseractal/Ice-IX), Red (Red Eyes/Lag Man) and thatguy74.

These people often called me derogatory names, such as "Huge Dicks". It was often of great annoyance that I would hang my virtual head in shame and take the abuse like a punching bag.

I have also seen LlamaHombre, this moderator "unaffected by pride" so you say, casually insult others like it was no big deal. He often listens to his friends before actually doing anything, and fights to keep his high status in this community.

And with that, I challenge your promotion of LlamaHombre to global moderator status. I believe it is time that those 10 people with huge egos and shameful bullying tendencies stop ruling the community and preventing others from enjoying it as it should be enjoyed. I may not be the member of highest status in this community, but I believe there are others who will stand by me in this calling out.

Do not ignore those that go against this decision. For the sake of Cutstuff. I do not care of the consequences for posting this, nor the new social status it incurs. The time is now. For revolution.

If this is my final post, then farewell my friends. I hope you all have a pleasant remainder of your life and still keep in touch with me.

Sincerely,
HD

I agree, but I don't care.

Others might not care as well.

Something should be done about it, yes, but should this really fall under a moderators's wing?

I am openly agreeing to this, but it's not like things have gotten out of hand yet. They eventually will, but it's not like people care enough to take them seriously...you know, as a pressure group. Despite this, they don't have complete (or any subtantial amount of) control over the online experience of the game, so I'm not so bothered about it.

EDIT: I'm not gonna start judging a fresh-out-of-the-oven moderator's policies (if they're not me, they're not doing a good job :P), but rather pushing out the general message of HD's post: dem CKC

I'm sorry everyone,  

HD, I am very proud that you took a stand for something you think is right, also to discover that people agree.

I have personally witnessed several instances of Llama showing distasteful behavior, and just general rudeness toward other members of the community. I have also witnessed him follow in his friends footsteps in throwing needless insults at people who did nothing to deserve it.

With this, I too, challenge the promotion of LlamaHombre to Global  Moderator.

Take that as you will.

I'm not going to complain too much, but I can say that I support the decision.

Everything you said about Sora is true so I'm going to cut that part out

These people often called me derogatory names, such as "Huge Dicks". It was often of great annoyance that I would hang my virtual head in shame and take the abuse like a punching bag.
Have you wondered why you received those nicknames at the time? I tried not to get involved during that time, but if you have a problem and you're singling me out for that reason, I'd like to know what I've done.

I have also seen LlamaHombre, this moderator "unaffected by pride" so you say, casually insult others like it was no big deal.
Because it's not a big deal. I never ever mean a good lot of that. I've always been insulted throughout my life, and I'd never truly go down to belittling someone like that.

...At least, not after what I've done. I won't lie that I've gone off the deep end one too many times, but I've tried to become a better person. If what I am today isn't enough, then I'm sorry.

He often listens to his friends before actually doing anything, and fights to keep his high status in this community.
I listen to my friends before doing anything because they're a good source of opinions about a situation. They're the ones I'm able to talk to immediately about a situation, and whether I follow their lead or not is my call.
As for the "high status", are you telling me that nobody in this community has personal pride? I've simply never had the pleasure of being respected to this degree, and I try to take in what I can. If I've come off as egotistical, then I have tried to fix this as well.

And with that, I challenge your promotion of LlamaHombre to global moderator status. I believe it is time that those 10 people with huge egos and shameful bullying tendencies stop ruling the community and preventing others from enjoying it as it should be enjoyed.

I actually want you to continue explaining my faults to me so that I understand what I need to overcome.
So please, continue!

To be completely and violently honest, I'd have to agree with HD. I typically don't see Llama on often, nor is he the most accepting of new players or those outside his tight group of friends.
Title: Re: New Global Moderators
Post by: MusashiAA on August 23, 2012, 11:24:50 PM
So, an apparently well-based reason has been given to doubt on Llama's moderating policies.

Thankfully, this is not a democracy =D
Thankfully, he seems to defend himself stating he's willing to change. Despite already admitting he does take his friend's words and opinions very seriously.

It's common sense that any sort of issue that may call for community moderation should be discussed with peers, not with preferential people such as friends. Then the question would be: can we trust Llama? Can the other moderators trust Llama to take decissions and use such power with extreme prejudice and conscious responsibility?

It appears that, by being chosen as a global moderator, the answer would be yes. Yet there are still people who doubt his capacities. These calls for concern (not only regarding him, but also on that other thing HD mentioned about this group of prideful people) should not fall into deaf ears.

It's not a big issue YET. I'll let you know when it is.

Plus, we have Ivory.
Title: Re: New Global Moderators
Post by: Max on August 23, 2012, 11:36:12 PM
I think it is important to note that Llama has changed a lot, even in the small timespace of a few months. He's been a lot less active lately, and while this can be seen as a bad thing, it means he's a lot more reserved and thoughtful when he posts than he was a year ago. I am certain that he will be a just moderator and a good choice.

On the issue of pride and the inner circle of the community, I think it is the same with every community. A lot of this bullying behaviour happens outside of the forums on skype or steam, therefore impossible to moderate, and potentially less threatening. Problems should probably be resolved privately, but for the priders to chip in and help out wouldn't go amiss.

Also, brotoad is still a mod. Just super saiyan.
Title: Re: New Global Moderators
Post by: Ivory on August 23, 2012, 11:36:26 PM
Because I trust Llama. Korby trusts Llama.

We didn't decide on Llama without any good reasons. I know Llama isn't perfectly, no one is. I'm not perfect, Korby isn't perfect. You take what you can get. Waiting for the ideal person to drop out of the sky isn't going to happen. Korby and I have been going over this matter for months now. Going over the community 2-3 times over. It's not like I went on a whim with Llama and Sora, Korby and I had an agreement on them, and we decided to give them a chance.

Which is the key word here, I'm giving them a chance. I'm giving Llama a chance to prove that he truly is the good kid at heart I believe him to be. I believe that Llama is capable of acting with good intentions in mind. I've seen him yell at people, was it the right thing to do? No. But was he doing it for a good reason? Yes he was.  That's what I was looking for, someone who, with guidance, could become a better person. I've placed my trust in Llama and I'm willing to give him that chance. But I see many people here aren't willing to give him that shot.

If Llama messes up, I'll tell him so and explain what would have been a better approach. If he isn't capable for the job, then he'll step down. Then Korby and I go back to reviewing the community again. Same goes with Sora. I was never expecting everyone to agree with me, but I was at least expecting most of the community to be willing to give Llama a chance to prove himself.

I'd like people to understand some things.

I am most certainly willing to give Llama a chance to prove himself a worthy moderator. If he proves that he has changed since May, then he can accept a hearty congratulations from me.

I believe everyone deserves a chance to try to change, so therefore Llama gets such a chance.

Title: Re: New Global Moderators
Post by: Mr. X on August 23, 2012, 11:44:01 PM
Might as well say my personal feelings on this.

I cannot say the decision to make Llama a mod is a bad one, but I also cannot say I fully support it.  He has most definitely done questionable things in the past that make me doubt him:  namely that he at times can lose control of his emotions quickly and violently (a quality, which I might add, I believe would also make myself a poor choice of a mod if ever offered the job.  Given that I've said this and shown this to Ivory and Korby many times, I believe they'd probably agree)

However, to not give this thing a chance is completely and utterly foolish.  Perhaps being a mod will encourage Llama to be on his very best behavior:  one thing that cannot be doubted is Llama's desire to help out as he's demonstrated this time and time again in the past.  Before people say their verdict on Llama's ability to mod, let's have the trial first, shall we?  And besides, if the worst case scenario does happen, it's not like the mod title is superglued to his forehead:  admins can take it away at any time.

And even then, who else really is a great candidate to do this job?  I'll be honest:  I don't think anybody else who has posted in this topic would really be a better choice...well, except the people who already are mods.

With that being said, congratulations to Sora and Llama.

I know sometimes is hard to accept that people who used to.. um... Behave wrong with someone... Change and then get promoted, but well, people (from both sides) must learn to ask for forgiveness and forgive.
And I'm not bullied (if that's the right word) because I don't use Skype/Steam harharharhar...

I do promise our community that I am not the man I was back when.

I was, and still possibly am a great, selfish bastard. But I'm trying to change.

Every time I see a post with Nikaly's face on it, I do wish I could apologize for my actions that day. None of that should've happened and I'm breaking down thinking about it now. It's the only thing I'd done in my entire life I'd ever physically harm myself over, as it was that day that proved to me how useless I truly was.

I've tried to become something different from then on. I've tried to change LlamaHombre for the better, someone who I myself could be proud of. I beat myself down a lot so that I don't snap again and become that devil ever again. Even I can't explain what exactly I wish to become, but it's the direct opposite of what I was then.

I promise our community that I can and will change.

I refuse to let all of you down.

I beg forgiveness of my previous wrongdoings and from this day forth will become what our community asks for.

Here we go.

but really, congratulations, to both of you, and for the people that think that llama is going to be a bad mod...


some of you may think that llama would be a bad global moderator since he's been warned a lot and such.

But really, that would make it even better for him, and us! Don't you think that because he has made plenty of mistakes before, he'd never repeat those? Don't you think he has learned a lot? I thought that llama would be a pretty crappy mod, but that was months ago, he has learned a lot, he has changed a lot (?), he is going to be a great moderator, i don't just think he's going to be one. I know it.

Well now, long posts aren't really my thing, but congratulations again to you two!

I was just being an average person in the Cutstuff Community Chat on Skype when some people singled me out; a certain group of prideful people: this group included (but is not limited to) LlamaHombre, Kenkoru, Roc's Creation (Tesseractal/Ice-IX), Red (Red Eyes/Lag Man) and thatguy74.
Around the time you joined, I actually advocated those people to give you a fair chance. I didn't get "in" to this community on my own, so why would I expect anyone else to? You'll notice I was fine with letting you participate in my tournament (among other things) since I figured you would outgrow the "awkward new person phase" that others have gone through. It wasn't until your April incident that I decided you weren't going to change. I don't really believe in actively targeting people at this point; there are far more than I could handle if I wanted to "control" the community and I've already learned that. Of that group you listed, none of them like me any more except for one. (And me, I guess. I don't really count.) I rarely identify with any group here. If you want to pigeonhole others into a group like that, go ahead. I'll let them speak for themselves.

The answer to this question (although not obvious) is: No. We don't trust Llama. He's younger than us, he's part of a group of "prideful" people, you don't like him,  and he attacked people in the past.

The real question you should ask is: Do we trust Ivory? All of the previous moderators have been nothing more than feral dogs who run wild outside of Ivory's command. Do you forget how easily users were banned for forum games, or how users' IPs were posted on the forums? Why would this be any different, except now that Ivory chose the mods? Ivory is the only person I trust around here, so even if one of his picks is a little shaky, I expect him to hold them together.

As for not being on as often, school and other things have been taking up 90% of my day, but I'll probably find a way to be a lot more active from now on.

Congratulations Llama and Sora! I would be lying if I said I wasn't jealous, having expressed interest in moderator status several times, though I guess I may not have the greatest track record available when it comes to the things stated in the first post.

Good job Llama and Sora! Hope you guys do a good job...

EDIT, I just looked back at the posts on this topic and saw that HD was speaking out about Llama. Good Job.
Some parts I don't agree with, some parts I do. But what I like what he did is he spoke out his opinion on why Llama is fair/unfair.

HD reminded me not to be afraid to disagree on anything, even if you might get on trouble for saying it.  :ugeek:

Seeing Llama with that green name has given me a headache. I really don't see how he is mod worthy after being so hateful and having such an undeserved rep. BUT, seeing what he wrote (and without a doubt, finally giving someone a warning for something that should have happened ages ago no offence red) does sort of lead me to believe that he could be mod worthy. I never thought he should have been because of being biased towards people that he hates and take even more advantage, but okay, maybe we should give him a chance.

Oh, and congratulations Sora!

Hey, Congrats you two!
I never really would have expected you guys to be the next global moderators, to be honest. And I have no knowledge of Llama's "dark and troubled past" either, so he was always good in my book. Good luck guys.

Actually, I would have liked to be a Global Moderator if it weren't for a few things: 1, I'm not the most active guy on the site. and 2, I don't look at all the sections of the forum; just a set few. I can't be a GLOBAL moderator like that.
Though I do have the experience needed. I've been/currently am an administrator on a quite a few sites--Granted, a couple of them are (near) dead, with one completely ceasing to exist, but eh, that's besides the point. Maybe I should stop rambling right now.

This is going to be my last post in this thread as I don't recall a time I've had my putrid heart broken so much and I want to pick apart which pieces of it matter. This hurts me a lot more than you'd probably expect it to, but I know if I'm to keep going down this journey, which I want to do, I have to face this.

I apologize for my words and actions that you may have deemed offensive, and I'm willing to drop all charges and start on a new slate if you are. Even as I'm writing this, I'm not sure what a good portion of the people here see in me. I've always been this aggressive, naive 12-year-old who couldn't ever understand what other people truly felt. I know you already know this, as you've read earlier in this thread, but I seriously want to improve my perception of how more people feel. In order to do that, I feel I need to drop all of my charges and take a role in this community where I'm ridden of all bias - positive or negative - and understand that not everybody believes in one singular thing. I need this green name because it'll improve me as a person. I don't want it for looks, glamour, or gossip. I deal with too much of that already outside of the community.

I'm hoping everyone here can understand, as there's really not much more I can say without repeating myself or getting too personal.
