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

[casperBGD]

i also think that we need to do some clean-up in our local sub-section and to re-arrange some topics, maybe add a sub-section Edukacija (Education), which would be good for new members that are entering the forum and crypto world as well
it would be good to have a moderator, but it would be great to have at least one time moderator to make these changes now-and-there, maybe twice a year is acceptable by forum global moderators, with a prepared suggestion from Croatian board side?

I agree with this. If we can't have our local moderator, this would be great too. We don't have much spam in Croatian section, but we desperately need more sections so the newcomers can find posts easily. I really think that "housekeeping" twice a year isn't much work and it would greatly help our Croatian community.

[Daniel91]

I agree with all these suggestions today but I ask the admins to understand that this is only a temporary solution for our local part of the forum but that we need a long-term solution as soon as possible and that is to get a local moderator.

[cryptofrka]

Yup, agreed as well. For now a part-time solution would be great too, just so we can have a more organized local. It is all clustered and really hard to navigate.

We could write suggestions/comments for one of the global mods, it should not be too much work.

Long-term - we would really need a mod who speaks the language. We are an active board and cover a territory of 20+ million people, not just Croatia.

I am not sure why adding new sections on local board is a problem. some very informative posts remain overwhelmed due to a large number of posts in one topic. I don't think you can expect a positive reaction to your needs here. I was trying to do it for Serbian local board, but unsuccessfully.
in particular, is interesting to me that the Russian local board had a dedicated topic for scam/HYIP... promotion https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=55.0
If there is an explanation, better all fraudsters in one place why is not better all discussions properly sorted. Certainly, if that was the goal, obviously it didn't work very well because we can find a lot of HYIP scams around the forum.

Yep, that baffles me too. I mean, I would understand that mods/admins or whoever is in charge of that are reluctant to add new sections to board that is barely active, but Croatian local board is consistently among more active ones, month after month. If we somehow don't meet criteria for a new mod at the moment, it would be nice to get at least that. It is not a temporary solution and we still need our own mod who understands our language, but better that than nothing.

I don't even have to mention that among boards with similar activity we are the only one without the mod, and generally one of the rare few without one.

Exactly. Also, Croatian board is the only one of the active local boards (other than the Pilipinas) that have only two child boards. This is by no means enough nowadays and many quality topics are hard to find because they get buried in a pile very quickly. In my personal experience, as a new forum member, this was a big obstacle in finding useful information.

One more month gone and still no answer, and similar thing for adding new sections in our local board 
We still need our New Local Moderator.

Well, we finally got two new sections in our local board. Kudos to the admins and staff! 
Now all we need is a local moderator and another merit source. I hope we're not asking too much.

What we are asking for is quite understandable and normal, and should have happened a long time ago, even without our request.
Just look at the statistics of our part of the forum and compare it with the statistics of other local sections.
We really don't need better arguments about the justification of our demands and I believe that the admins will solve this issue very soon.

[dkbit98]

Yes we still need our new local moderator, and then we could just blame him for everything we don't like, instead of blaming theymos and all other admins
Seriously, we need to have new mod and added visible trust feedback in our local trading board.

There is already a complete consensus on this in our community and everyone supports this request.
We have been waiting for the resolution of some other requests for a very long time, even years, so I hope that this request will be resolved faster. 

[Daniel91]

For a long time we have not received an answer from the administrator to this request of the Croatian local community.
Let this statistic from Rikafip be an additional argument to our request for a local moderator.

The Croatian section of the forum is the seventh in terms of activity at this forum (number of post) and the only one among the top ten local sections in terms of activity that doesn't have its own moderator.

If you think about it, it's been 48 months since theymos said no. The fact that we still don't have a moderator up to this point means the request wasn't granted. My Magic 8 Ball tells me we aren't going to get one now unless we bully theymos into promoting someone.

Our problem is that our board is too clean. We don't have too much crap and shitposts and since moderators here are mainly seen as someone who deletes posts, I guess theymos doesn't feel the need to get us one.
Where are shitposters and spammers when you need them...

Maybe I hit some of his weak spot with titanic meme, or maybe Cyrus decides to do something similar like with unban requests.
Nothing is impossible, and I would like to see our board with moderator before my account dies (in forum).

I just reported one today while you were sleeping

I know. I have been saying that from the start. I don't know how the situation is in other more active boards like the Russian or the Turkish one, but I am guessing it's pretty bad. Compared to them, we are surely in a much better position. All the admins have to do is check the number of reported and handled reports from our local board to understand if any action needs to be taken. Since that stat isn't convincing...

I'm sure you know that very well, but let's not poke a hornet's nest.

Me too. Maybe we'll get a moderator when the new forum software goes live? 

[don't mind me, I'm just feeling sarcastically pessimistic today.]

Why are you both afraid to mention that name? 
Does slackovic use a notification bot?
