Would it be a bad idea to have a chart for the most active times compared against active mod times?Then you can just pick one of the active decent people that is consistently active in a weak timezone (if more are needed, and at the request of mods/Cheat), or just bump up one of the active monitors around that timezone.Moderation wise it's going fine from what I see so maybe just bumping up some of the montors would be fine. We don't really need new monitors to replace them, as the last monitor applications hired 2 rather than one as advertised (so until Sandtrap had to step down for reasons, we were overstaffed).
So, Americans are Cheat, Demonic EST, LC (West Coast), Slash CST, and the Canadian, the Mexican and the Gay - the last three in EST.Kiyo and Psy are UK time. Flee is ECT. Isara is Greece.

The site staff for this website should be structured around a Pyramid like design: More monitors than Ninja's, more Ninja's than Master Ninjas, and More Master's than Admin's. The ideal structure for the Mods (In my opinion) would go as followed:Monitors:- Flee (Newest to the bunch, so a bit more time on staff before promotion is considered)- Sandtrap (If he wishes upon return)- TBlocks- 2 New Monitor's, depending on need, or Icy/YutakaNinjas:- Icy/Yutaka - Kiyo- SlashMaster Ninja:- Psy- LCIdeally, it would also be beneficial to give Ninja's the ability to lite-ban a user for one day, especially if the Master Ninja's are not available - to ensure trouble makers are dealt with effectively.
And then you promote me to monitor.
Demote Slash and Kiyo because they're abusive. I don't care that much about who replaces them.
Quote from: Ossku on December 08, 2014, 08:54:52 AMRegarding timezones, it would be a great idea to promote Flee.I know the time slot with the biggest problems, that was brought up, was late evening for the Eastern Time Slot: So, roughly 7-8PM EST through around 1-2AM EST. The reason it's such an understaffed period is because the Euro Staff is usually asleep by then, or close to it. Meanwhile, the active US Mod (LC) is on the West Coast - meaning he can still be at work/out with friends, and can't enforce the entire forum on his own.That's just what we've noticed - if you have another time slot that is poorly staffed, feel free to share.
Regarding timezones, it would be a great idea to promote Flee.
Have Vien, Meta, and Noelle become moderators
I would honestly be a great monitor if you gave me the chance. Despite my tendencies to shitpost when I'm bored, I'm much more responsible when someone wants me to moderate. I know that public opinion of me on here makes that pretty much impossible, but I figured I should just post this here regardless.
VIVA PARTY BUTTS!
Give Meta a position as Monitor, promote Icy to Ninja
I'm willing to consider new, regular users to enter the rotation.
