Request for the moderator position in Greek board

[digaran]

Well, he is a merit source ( already established and trusted ), their board has no active moderator ( inactivity should at least be more than 3, 6 month to consider a mod replacement for a  small local forum ), if [ emphasize on if ] he is willing to help out as he already is doing, maybe giving him a temporary moderation position is not a bad idea.  Doing it for free doesn't mean you are not contributing, it's the contrary. However theymos is not the kind of a person to take advantage of people, if it's needed he will do it and would give you a salary. Since staff salary is based on the number of reports being handled, you'd get not much anyways, hence doing it free or not is a contribution to the community.

Note, my words around these woods hold a negative weight, so....

Try translating the posts from the thread I linked, and tell me if you can verify that it's off-topic, zero value, trolling and spamming. I'll wait.

As I understand, he posted this stuff in marketplace and he isn't buying or selling something. So, first of all it's off-topic and at the same time zero value, trolling and spamming. I guess that when global moderator don't know that language, he just don't have other choice than using Google translate. But I have no idea why your reports is still unhandled.
As I said somewhere already, it would be perfect to have dedicated mod for every board, but as we know, things aren't always going perfectly as we would want.

Our moderator is offline 106 days now.

Our moderator was removed and self-banned from forum and we are waiting for years to get a new one from theymos, so you better prepare to wait a bit more

He must be busy with writing the April fools' code.

I think the hatted coiner is in need of a chance to try; he ain't requesting for someone else's concern to curb the mismanagement and incessant trolling... afterall, if anyone saw the need to have done that, it would be long settled.
THEYMOS, on his own part isn't that quick -to-do kinda human, AFAIK. he has some specific schedule to follow suit, until everything is done properly... secondly, I read a post from Cyrus as an indication for interest to anyone that wants the moderating position,.. that happened years before I got registered -- I mean, peeps just came around and showed up Thier interest, but to his criterias, no one was valid... It maybe the same way moderators are being selected., Or Maybe through voting? I can't tell, but that's what it looks to me like.

recently blackhat tested his own moderation ethics.. and failed shamefully

a discussion topic he created as self moderated was discussing the legality of mixing services

he personally did not quote or reference or talk about law regulations nor use information gleaned from regulators. instead he tried to brush under the carpet any risks and ignore risks and just wanted to praise and hype up and promote mixing services (dumbing recruits to sleep so he can shamelessly use them for his personal "privacy")

i then was telling readers how mixing is a risk and puts people on watchlists thus undoing the advertised purpose(to not be watched) of using a mixer

he did not like the fact that i said this and didnt like that i was telling readers to actually go read regulations and the real world definitions and guidance.
he did not like that i was debunking his sponsored ideologies/allegiances of what he wants to promote even when what he wants to promote puts other people at risk.. and so instead of staying unbiased. he chose to delete posts and want me banned from making more posts in the area he had moderation control over

its like tax avoidance.
to differentiate between being a tax evader(different type) vs to be a legal tax avoider... you first need to learn the laws you wish to navigate through to learn how to find the loopholes to legally avoid tax.
 
simply ignoring the law and thinking it doesnt apply and telling people to just keep doing things without care. harms other people and makes them tax evaders(which comes with consequences).

its always best to read the laws that apply to help you navigate them. rather then be an idiot that just wants to lull people into sleepy dreams of "freedom" just so you can promote a service that takes peoples freedoms away

saying something that opposes a malicious promoter is not trolling. its actually a form of criticism and scrutiny and risk awareness.. something people should be allowed to do to ensure users dont end up getting caught/getting in trouble due to malicious users promoting things that can harm their users

blackhats personal allegiance to certain sponsored businesses outweigh his morals and ethics even to a point of wanting people banned and posts deleted if those people and posts oppose his allegiances.


and so i therefore withdraw my earlier opinion that blackhatcoiner should be given a chance  because, i thought he was able to grow up and put his personal allegiances aside.
i therefore withdraw my earlier opinion that blackhatcoiner should be given a chance to be a moderator of a whole category because he shamelessly cares more about promoting risky services rather than allowing people to discuss ACTUAL risks that are actually mentioned in regulators guidance.
he moderates out any scrutiny and instead keeps the malicious risky promotional stuff

also because blackhatcoiner loves to support mixers and theymos doesnt want moderators supporting mixers. he definitely wont get far. especially if his request for an unpaid job(moderating) means he can no longer receive income from his paid job(advertising mixers)

im guessing he will be fast now to revoke his own request to be a moderator, if moderators cant promote risky services

[BlackHatCoiner]

I have made my excuse here.

I'll have to ask franky1 to not derail this particular thread with mixers as it's completely irrelevant. If he didn't like my behavior, he can open up a new thread and complain there.

I'm not fueling the fire or something but I just wanna say something about this. Mixers are not officially illegal, but the way how the government see it as a method to do something illegal is of course something that cannot be brushed aside. As long as the government views it that way, confiscating ang seizing those mixers will always be there. We all get the point and understand that mixers are only providing services for their customers, but the government doesn't care even if you are innocently running these business as long as it against their belief, it will always be illegal to them.

In regards of requesting moderator in Greek board, It feels like it has slowly transformed into politics. Not that I complain about that coz it has nothing to do with me, I just felt that it has slowly turned into a different story.

What do you mean?

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

I have noticed that my sub-board's moderator is inactive (mitzie) nearly two months now. Recently the Greek board experienced a sort of spam tornado in this thread, which intrudes the forum rules[1], and I don't believe there's any staff member who would notice my report (there aren't lots who speak Greek to begin with, let alone to moderate the board).

I have also dedicated a decent part of my time in bitcointalk. I registered in March 2020, close to 3 years, and I haven't stopped being active for more than 3 days for once. For those reasons, I want to apply for the moderator position in my local board as I believe I am the most suited.

[1] Trolling, spamming, zero value posts, and among all that, it's off-topic as well.

Honestly speaking any locale board needs moderator, it also give me a much concern on seing several spams on boards not being regulated by moderators, in this case, i will advise you first give a PM to the inactive moderator to hear from his side of view if he can give a reply on it, am sure his email address will notify him or the telegram bot on that, but if no response within a month to sum it altogether three months of no moderation on Greek board then your request on voluntary service should be a well and considerable action.

Does mitzie even has moderator status anymore? I am asking because when I check his profile he doesn't has "Staff" under his position, like its the case with other mods.

[BlackHatCoiner]

Does mitzie even has moderator status anymore?

Not quite sure. He did have the mod status in August. He may have quit, maybe some administrator can enlighten us.

Did he announced something before not being active for that long?

Maybe you guys have an urgent matter that needs to be resolved by the moderator or maybe the global moderators can handle those? I know for sure that a lot staff has already noticed this thread and some have already replied maybe it is not that urgent for you to have another mod? No offense it's just what I have noticed.

[Rikafip]

Your question doesn't make any sense at all because if he publicly announced something than we wouldn't guess here and speculate what actually happened.
