Forum Moderator Update Log - March 2018

[dogbew 267]

Hello everyone, we're back at it again with another round of our Forum Team Updates. This one comes very late, as usual. One day I would like to not be the last director to post an update, but today is not that day. So, whats been going on in the Forum Moderation Team?

 

New Additions

This month, we have added three (3!) new Forum Moderators. @Violinist, @ChonGojDragonski, and @Veist making a return run. We're always glad to see people interested in participating in the Lord of the Craft Community; and this month we had quite a few. Thank you to everyone who applied this time around, and those of you that took the time to file an interview with us. Sadly, only a few of can be picked from the lot but that does not mean you shouldn't apply again in the future.

 

 

 

 

Be sure to welcome everyone who is new this month when you see them, we all look forward to them having a long career of serving the Lord of the Craft Community!

 

In addition to our new members, this month we lost @Hyena, @MrMineLoveDude, @Fawb, and @Sythan. All leaving for various reasons, we here in the Lord of the Craft Forum Team are forever thankful for their service to our community over their long careers. Be sure to thank them if you see them around here in the community!

Projects

 

So, this month we have a few major projects going on here in the Forum Team. Firstly, we have been rolling out the new Forms feature, with assistance from our Web Developer @Lyonharted™, we have several new Forms available for users to make use of. If you're interested in the feature, look for a button on the forums list that says "Apply for X Team". The goal here is to streamline the application process and enforce a consistency in format and overall content in each form to make the jobs of users and staff easier.

 

Our second major project this month is something many of you may have seen. The "Forum Roleplay Census" thread, found HERE; is a poll taken of Forum Roleplay users on the Lord of the Craft Forums. The idea for this survey came at the end of a meeting we had here on the FM Team to decide what will become of the Clubs feature we have here. While it is a good tool that has a lot of applications, we noticed a stark lack of response in the use of Clubs, and wanted to find out why.

 

It was our idea that one of the groups who would have the best use of the Clubs feature would be players who participate in the FRP community here on our forums. We have found, as a result of our many responses to the census that the major reason most players don't want to partake in Clubs is twofold. Firstly, there is a lack of knowledge of the feature as it is tucked firmly behind the scenes; and secondly due to the long wait times on applications and overall bloat of the application process. So, as a result our goal when reworking the Clubs feature system is to both streamline the application process, and make the community more aware of what Clubs has to offer and what it can do. More info will come out about this in our next meeting, and hopefully by the next report we will have this project complete. 

 

Overall, we're doing well this month in terms of Forum Moderation. I'm happy to see the progress thats being made in training, hiring and projects; and its a trend I'd like to keep up for many moons to come. Do you have any questions, comments or concerns?

Watching this color war from the sidelines is always good fun.

This blatant GM Aggression will not be taken lightly! Laugh today, but when the FM Team finishes its nuclear program the blue menace will tremble in fear!
