The current "situation" of the staff

Hi, there. Pardon my intrusion. I'm really enticed by the fact that you're worried about the current situation of the forums, that's why I read each and every post in this very thread. I'm an old member, and I really like the uniqueness of Fakku's forum and its members. I'm also worried about its current status.
As you have said, Fakku isn't really priority number one for Mods, true. Not all of them can devote a big slice of their time for Fakku.
I've been a fan of our Mods since a long time ago(I'm from the Mote Mote Era) From the shadows, I look up to them. They help made the community before flourish, like Klown and his epic uploads, Waar and his fun Waifu game, ETC. But they weren't the only one who helped the community, the community itself helped. Also, I remember how enthusiastic everyone was during Mote Mote, oh those days.

The status of the community for me right now is 'Stand-Still' nothing really excites me anymore, new members washing ashore, old members saying goodbye. I wish I could help in making the community so much alive again but I don't know what to do. So I've just been posting around forum threads, trying to make things up-and-running.

I'm kind of a Irregular member though, sometimes I'm always here. Sometimes, I'm gone for a long time.

But I find the community right now fun and warm, not much like how it was before though. Awesome and Blazing-hot.

He knows Sindalf and myself quite well. We have met irl multiple times and I believe he considers us friends(not close friends).



Not sure what faith has to do with him not being able to do the job properly at times.



I agree in part with the original topic, I do think new mods or sections mods are in order. People who will interact with the community more, run contest or make streams/let's play videos. That being said I don't believe (as I once did) that IB needs a dedicated staff member anymore; you guys are just too tame. Fakku in general has become stagnant so new ideas may liven things up but as it stands now this place has become boring. While the staff can help move things along this is in large part the users responsibility, so it's up to you guys to make things fun again.

More staff that interact with the community would be pretty cool.

If I remember correctly Hibia was the first moderator to leave FAKKU. The dude was such a creep, I miss him.

The Nikon/Raze/Jacob triforce was cool to have around (Anyone remember that fanart with the 3 of them on a pile of hentai? Hahaha.), but not really for moderation purposes. I know a lot of forums that take themselves too seriously and 'overmoderate' their stuff, only to piss off their entire userbase on the go. I've been here for a while and I never felt like serious moderation is actually required. You know, this whole thing about being overdramatic on the internet and all that. When the whole thing about moderation for IB started I would've rather seen a nuke dropped on that and be done with it. It felt kinda forced in a sense of 'we need a moderation status for this dude so let's use that.'.

I believe that moderation for the uploads sections is the only one actually required, since those areas are naturally prone to 'abuse', but I don't even know if Klown does anything, or is required, in that regard. The idea is solid though.

Getting IB a new mod was never my intention, IB these days are as tame as the kitty in your picture but I'm talking about less Global Mods in a whole, I want a Video Game mod that actually posts in Video Game.

The whole thing being users responsibility is true but at the same time Staff could help it on, like you did, I myself am not going to help it because I honestly have no clue how to make it more fun.

Properly? Well guess what, he's still moderating, even though he's busy, unlike some people I heard. And even though the previous statement has nothing to do with Gambler not doing his job at times, I still have faith in his approach.

Is he still moderating? How much time do you think he's devoted to moderating compared to some of the others? You'd be shocked by the answer. It's fine though, because he's "nice" it doesn't matter so much that he's busy all the time. You're simply another user who thinks he knows what's going on behind the scenes.

Your faith in his approach doesn't really matter, your faith wont change his ability.

Nah, I know I know nothing. But isn't it dangerous Waar to discuss these things with a believer like me?

Waar you should be a mod again.

Also I think the community is fine. It's the only forum site I regularly post to. Maybe it's because of the lack of restrictions and how neat everything looks compared to the clutter of other forums. This has nothing to do with moderation btw, but I wanted to post this somewhere. If Jacob would just fix some bugs, keep a few active global mods and maybe two section mods. I'd really love this place again. I'm still ok with it, but it could be slightly better.

Um, since I don't like your pause I should outline that it was a taunt. No hard feelings man. Next time please reply with something simple/light (like you're an idiot) so I don't have to guess if I took it too far.

Pls Waar, we miss you

It's not about you, it's about him, it didn't pay off in the way he wanted it to. Whenever he did something Jacob would most often just roll it all back as if nothing happened. He didn't like it and I understand him.

Altho this is just what I've gathered from talking to him, you ask him.

Discussing the behind the scenes is something I think the staff should do more often. Telling people a staff member is away, or discussing the inner workings of Fakku can only lead to a better understanding of how demanding the "job" can be sometimes.

Often my posts come off as some sort of attack against Gambler, or his moderation style. I do want to clear up that misunderstanding; I respect him as a mod, he is important and performs his role admirably. I also understand that for every mod that is super over the top nice there needs to be a mod like me who's willing to tell someone to fuck off(perhaps less blunt than I was), otherwise you end up with a forum full of kids like ronnie or that stripper chick. The only real issue I see is that everyone globally believes Gambler walks on water and can do no wrong when it's clearly not the case, he's not suited to moderate some things on Fakku.


As for me being staff again: I really appreciate your feelings guys, it does make me feel pretty great knowing some of you thought I did a decent job. However I'm much happier not having that responsibility, even now I'm frustrated by how slowly things move here sometimes and I guess caring too much is something I can lessen by not being involved. I do think about it from time to time, but it's mostly when I have the urge to ban someone.

I'll show you guys what a riot looks like. A man with power should not be insulted. Especially a crazy one.

Also more mods please. Enough that everyone is allowed to lazy.

These kind of posts are the reason everyone respected you. You were more about the community and the position and not about the image that said position brings. You showed up more often than the other mods just for a quick hello/banning here and there.

I didn't see your interactions as being blunt. You were the balance in a way in relation to the other mods.
