✋ [Request] Theymos we need moderator again in Croatian local board

[marlboroza]

we just need to keep this topic alive

We need some shill accounts for purposes of this topic. Any bump account available to hire?  

nobody cares about our local section.

Theymos care about our local board, I can tell you that, but he is probably too busy to reply or he doesn't think that we need moderator. Time will tell which one is it.

In the last few days we have had several cases of spam, duplicate posts,  posts in the wrong sections etc.
Since we don't have a local moderator to handle this right away, we had to wait a lot longer for another moderator to fix it after we reported it.

Are those reports handled and how long "we" waited for that to happen? For example, I reported 2 posts and 1 topic earlier today, one post is handled pretty fast and other two are undhandled(second post is reported later). One 11 days old report remained unhandled and few reports between are marked as good (I believe mods handled it fast enough).

So you changed your mind now about theymos care  
I remember you said something much different before about it.

Anyway all is good.
All eyes on Bitcoin now. 🔻

I think there are enough active people in our local board who care about getting a moderator, we do not need bumping bot services

I explained my case regarding the position of moderator, what about you, will you accept this position if admin is ask you?

Yes, theymos care about our local and no, I didn't say "theymos doesn't care", I said "theymos doesn't give a fuck" (closest translation). Context was very important here, (more context) but who gives a fuck about context and how our main AKA bitcoin board  looked like and what was going on at the time I said it and at the time we complained anyway. Perhaps, better expression would have been "it seems that nobody gives a fuck about our local board".

Actually, I would understand if you said "nobody cares about our local board" at the time when it was in big mess and (if my memory serves me well) many reports remained unhandled, but now? Moderators are handling reports, theymos is handling some other things, we also have 2 merit source, I just can't see how is this "nobody cares". Someone obviously do.

Yeah, I know, I was joking.

[dkbit98]

@marlboroza looks like you are not spending so much time in our local board recently so I think you can not judge clearly.
My recent experience with reporting posts is something opposite from yours.

You also skipped a clear question from Lucius.
Thanks

the lazy way to find topic bumpers accounts and to red tag them. Then you prove your quality to be local board moderator ccc...

He said he was joking... but looks like he has some strange sense of humor as nobody understand the joke so far.

Are you me now?

So there must be many posts you reported and moderators marked them as bad or they are unhandled. I assume you are talking about this topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230465.0

As for topic itself, it is something which might interest forum members, but it is not about bitcoin so it should be in Off topic board, as we don't have Off topic board nor any other board where this should be posted, it is posted in main board. It is not for marketplace either because user doesn't sell/buy anything nor they offer service.

As for posts inside topic, there are some off topic replies so I assume you have bunch of unhandled reports.

If you are not talking about this topic, can you provide some examples of posts you reported and they are not handled or they are marked as bad?

No.

Several members from our local forum say that there is issue with reports, and you say something else.
I will not post any examples here, but mods can check their log.

I can't say that I have issue with reports in local board when I mostly don't but I did mention that I have issue with one report:

One 11 days old report remained unhandled

but ok. Lets get back to part where we might agree:

In total we made over 44088 Posts in 1801 Topics.

We also need moderator to clean up some sub-sections and create new ones that can have healthy conversation and ideas.

So we need off topic board (for topics such as discount on watches, radioactive rain, how to protect yourself, flame room, politics in Croatia, telegram bots, what is allowed to advertise on twitter and facebook, "merry xmass topic", "happy easter topic", "happy 8. March", where to buy condom and what kind to buy, would you share your crypto information with your girlfriend/wife and so on...)

Scam board (for topics such as MLM - dangerous strategy, scammer, warning - Coinomi, scam warnings topic, another scam, telegram scam and so on...)

Perhaps beginners and help board (there are several topics for this board) and altcoin separated from ICO bounty/ann translations. So, first we need admin to give us new boards and then moderator to place everything in correct boards and moderate them everything.

This is biggest problem with Croatian local board. We have a lot of great posts and consequently posters but we are really missing few sub boards to tidy up our section. I agree with malboroza assessment above. Off topic is an absolute must at least. This would clean our Local section significantly and made it much more intuitive and easy to browse, especially for new members.

Situation with report handling is quite good at the moment and I have no objection regarding that. Yes it would be nice that some posts disappear without all of us seeing it and some of us reporting it but at least someone jumps in and handles our reports.

We could also really use local moderator to separate/join some topics when discussion goes in other direction or someone starts a new topic for something already there. This happens quite often and there is no way anybody who isn't local and reading trough our boards every day can help us with that.

Agreed with @Trofo

At the moment, anything you want to write has to go into main section, and is by default if it's not bitcoin related, it's off topic. As such, it's always at risk of being reported and deleted by global mod.
It would really be nice to have someone to bring order into chaos (Anakin?) and open one or two more subsections.

I just took a quick look. Almost all local boards have 'Off-topic' or 'General Discusion' sections. I think it's time to bring some order into the Croatian subforum, and a moderator would certainly be welcome there. I support all suggested members.

[aundroid]

We users from the German board just went through the same situation. 

We proceeded as follows:
- We created a thread (in our local section) in which users could express their interest in the role as moderator.
- Every user should include his/her report history in the application.
- After a certain time, a poll was created where everyone could vote for his/her favorite candidate.

Even though theymos does not use the result of the poll as its primary influence, we still wanted to know which candidate is favored by the other users.

Here is a statement from theymos on how the final decision is made:

Report history is the most important consideration for a moderator candidate. Over the forum's many years, relatively "newbie" members with good report histories have consistently done much better as mods than veteran, well-respected members with poor report histories. That said, not all reports are equal, so a simple report count doesn't tell the whole story. Also, in addition to report histories, it's necessary to consider factors such as the ability of the candidate to be neutral, their trustworthiness, etc. It's also nice to choose a moderator who people generally already trust/respect, but sometimes this is outweighed by other factors.

If a poll is created, I will not completely ignore the results, but I will also not use it as a primary influence. I'm more interested in arguments people have for or against certain candidates.

Now we have mole0815 as our new mod, who is really doing a very good job.

Well then, hopefully you will soon also have a local mod.

It has always been like this but as far as I know "Off topic" topics are not moderated unless they violate forum rules.

So, do you also agree that a separate 'Off topic' section would be useful for the Croatian Local Board? Personally, I would like to see only Bitcoin related topics in the main section.

Yeah, there are some interesting topics for "off topic" and honestly, I would place all merit topics into "off topic" board and leave main board for discussion about bitcoin thingies only.

I personaly would.
Off topic would be great, as it would let people talk about stuff unrelated to crypto.
Some will argue that you can do that on other forums, but then again, there's a main Off-topic section, so why not

[FatFork]

I see we have no update on this topic so I take the opportunity to bump it up a bit.
Maybe we should hold a vote in the local board?

[dkbit98]

Asking again, if we can please have some moderation for our local croatian section??

I observed all other local threads, and most off them have more sub-sections and child-boards.

We want to cleanup, make better order  and add few more sub-sections.
