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

[Daniel91]

I completely agree with the proposal.
In addition to the above in the previous post, due to a lack of understanding of the language, it happened that moderators misplaced some posts before, even moved posts in the wrong part of the forum.
A local moderator, who understands the language, would moderate our local part of the forum much better, in my opinion.

it looks like only members from Croatian board write here. maybe we could start some missed local topics here, certainly, other users and administrators do not visit topics with "other language" in the subject. acts as a message from the administration: If you need more threads in your local board section, use meta for that purpose.
Seriously, a long time ago, I am also started about dedicated thread to Serbian community but I never get an answer from an important member from the forum. did you get any hint here?

Why do we need local moderator in our board?

How about this recent data for one of the reasons... we are one of the local boards with most posts:

Stats are from @DdmrDdmr and his  Merit Dashboard

Why do we need local moderator in our board?

Why is the request for a moderator on the Croatian board ignored by the forum staff? Maybe because we don't have enough spammers so we don't even need a moderator?
It's just my wild theory ...

Maybe we’re too good and don’t make trouble like the others so then we don’t even need a moderator 
A local moderator who understands the language and is active in our part of the forum would be really welcome.
He could reorganize our local part of the forum, and that would really help.

How about this recent data for one of the reasons... we are one of the local boards with most posts:

In case someone says that it's just one month worth of data, they might wanna look at previous months .Then it gets  obvious that it is pretty much standard now, our local board being among most active ones each month, so this is not just some coincidence or anomaly. And if you look at the top 10 active local boards this year, Croatian is the only one without moderator. Hell, some barely active have mods. Not that I think their  mods should be removed or something , on the contrary, mods are needed for local board development and growth.

Maybe we’re too good and don’t make trouble like the others so then we don’t even need a moderator  

I somehow thought that forum moderator role is much more than just being some kind of police. But you might be right, maybe we don't have enough drama going on there


Anyone knows when is the last time some local board got moderator, and did any local board got moderator after loosing one, like it happened to our local board?

It should be, and that part is the one we actually need most in Croatian section. We don't have many spam posts and the ones we do have get deleted quite fast after we report them. Our moderator is needed to split some topics when conversation goes off topic which happens often and results with problems when trying to find some particular posts. That is something only native speaking moderator can do.

Furthermore we desperately need some more subsections, at least off topic section should be a must have.

I know Welsh has replaced the former moderator of the Spanish section. But it's a special case because Welsh was already moderator, so it's not really an nomination.
Mole0815 must be the last moderator of a local section, but I don't have the timeline in mind. It took a few months.
In my case, I started to really make reports from this message from Theymos, and I was nominated as mod at the beginning of July 2018 (oh tomorrow I'll celebrate my 2 years as moderator, I thought I'd last 2 months ). But the situation was unbearable, we were invaded by spammers, bad translators.
I hope you continue to make reports in your section. Without reports, Theymos will think that there is no need for a new mod.

Yeah I guess that situation is a bit different from ours.

I can imagine situation being very bad back in those days, when altcoin market was still very much alive and forum being way more active than it is now.

I hope you continue to make reports in your section. Without reports, Theymos will think that there is no need for a new mod.

To be honest, we don't have huge problem with spam not being deleted, and if that is  main criteria for getting a local mod, then our chances are not good. We simply need our board to get organized, move some topics and especially make  few more child boards. With our activity, feels kinda bad not to have local mod, when so many others do.

I fully agree with this. We don't have that many spam attacks - and when an occasional Google translated ICO project hits the board most of us report it fast enough.
In my 2 years here I have only 36 reported posts and global mods really react fast there.

The problem is that our board is clogged and there's not really any order or sense. For a new member it must be hell to find something there.
If a native speaking moderator was appointed, he'd already know what needs to be done - because we've already discussed how we want our board to look like and where do most topics need to be.

All suggested members are highly rated and all of them have my support. If we need to vote we will, but who that one will be is less relevant - any of them would do the same job. And we really need that to happen.

Reports are not only about spam to be deleted. You can make a report if a topic is in the wrong section, if you think part of a topic should be splitted, a topic to be locked, etc...
And you don't need thousands of reports. In six months, I've had made ~400 reports (in a tumultuous period).

This is a bit more complicated, even when a mod make a request for a new board, it can take several months. So without a moderator...

Thank you for feedback and suggestions Halab!
I am reporting and I think other members are reporting anything that is not following rules of the forum.
It would be good if we could global stats of reports for our local board.

Yeah, but the problem here is that we do not have enough sections/subsections as well. Look at other local sections and how many child boards there are - we have only 3 (Main, Marketplace, Altcoins).
So, if we open a 'Happy New Year' thread, it goes into main. If we report it's in the wrong place, where do we report it needs to go to? Same for xy number of topics that simply do not belong in main, but neither in 2 of the other subsections that we have.

And if it takes months to create a child board or 3 of them, well, that's shocking and definitely not something that is normal on a forum and something we should strive towards.

[dkbit98]

Summer bump.
Market is green, Bitcoin is 10k again, and Croatian board still need new moderator.
I am calling all bitcointalk gods for attention please.
Please listen the voice of our local community.
Have mercy

[Rikafip]

Almost one month passed since the last bump, time for another one. Once again Croatian local board is among the most active ones, and still waiting for our locally mod , or at least few new child boards that would make our board more organised.

It seems that it has already become a tradition on this forum to wait a very long time for an answer from the admin.
I understand that they are very busy but still it would be nice to have issues like this resolved faster.

You need to clam down mate. Judging from the last post date per thread on your board, The post growth in your board is not that alarming compared to Indonesia board which already above 1M post.

But I agree with you that Admins are very slow to response on every issue here due to the intensity of report sending to them and also they only have few moderators. Goodluck on the candidates and I believe you should launch poll on your local board to be fair to all your countrymen.

[Rikafip]

Yeah I guess we have to accept that it takes a time to get any changes on those forum, and getting new admin is a big change. I don't think that admins can help us much here, its probably up to theymos and few others at the top. As Halab said, it takes few months to get new child boards even when you have local mod.

[dkbit98]

What those 'clam down' words mean exactly?
He is calm and just saying the facts.

And how can you compare Indonesia with over 267 million total population with Croatian few millions including all bordering countries?
And as far as I know Indonesia local have not one but two mods: (bshck and sapta).

So don't just write stupid things like this again and look at this image:

You already mention what I'm pointing out. Stop spouting stupid things since I'm not against this thread. If that what means of calming down to you so be it. I don't like the tone of your post as if you own this forum. You should comprehend my comment before you sling negative comment. If you don't want a constructive criticism, I believe you should privately email this to theymos rather than posting it publicly or maybe you should create a moderated thread.

I provide a data supporting to my claims. What's non sense on pointing out that Croatian board is not that over crowded by judging on last post history?? No need to reply. As if I care to your business.
