Additional moderator required in the italian board

[HostFat]

And what's the matter? I mean, if someone with the opposite opinion would have wanted to express himself, he could have done it now here. The public chat is composed of 170 users, and most of them for inactivity or other reasons aren't even interested about the usability of the italian board.

So "all the interested italian members are aware of this thread." are not so many
I said it because at your first sentence it could be seen as "the italian community" was at this opinion.

I repeat again, another mod (that I don't feel needed now) NOT chosen by me will be the worst and not the better.

and repeated uncostructive posts.

I'm sure that someone don't like my way of leaving some people free to express their "stupidity", but I still think that it's better if it isn't completely useless spam

[alexrossi]

Again, you are missing the point.

I'm not arguing about your moderation, and i personally think that you're replying feeling attacked for no reason, since in the OP i've written

Hostfat, the current moderator, is doing a good job in the reports management,

My concern is not about your report management. Reports are well managed, but in my opinion (and not only for me) they are used too seldom by the majority of italian users. So the point is about having an extra mod that can better and more easily patrol the italian board, especially its subsections.

I hope that this is enough to prevent other copy/paste replies.

I'm happy with the current state of things.

So far Hostfat has guaranteed a no-intervention policy that suits me just fine.

Anyway, why are we having this discussion here and not in the Italian subsection?

[acquafredda]

I find the Italian board fairly ok.
In my humble opinion, unless Hostfat is overwhelmed by work, there's no need for another moderator.
However, I don't get why this is a matter to be discussed in English on the international board.
Since, as we know, Italians struggle with English I don't think it's fair to discuss this topic in a foreign language.
To me it seems pretty limiting for who doesn't speak a word of English.

p.s. for the Italians: please don't write I'm agree it sounds so bad and it doesn't mean anything in English. You simply say I agree.

I don't think we need a new moderator. If HostFat need help he will intercede directly with Theymos without this useless thread.

Even though i'd like to be a moderator

Why do you want to become a moderator and why should we choose you?
I'm just asking (no controversy).

Thank you

We don't need a new moderator, especially if HostFat doesn't think he needs help.

To fix the problems that i've mentioned in OP. But it really doesn't matter who will manage this task, i only hope that there will be an extra one to keep the overall usability.

Let's check togheter:

Spanish section: 130k posts- 9k topics ( 2 moderators)
French section: 57k posts - 3.4k topics (2 moderators)
Italian section: 125k posts - 7.4 topics 1 moderator

EDIT: also the german section has 2 MODS

Data are given. Why should not we add another moderator in the Italian section ?

[acquafredda]

Your data analysis is simply useless.

[xandry]

Your data analysis is simply useless.

Why? All depends on the efficiency of the moderators?

[alexrossi]

Your data analysis is simply useless.

This is the perfect example of a well-opinioned position

I think you should compare the topic/post pro capita to make a sensible confrontation. As an example German board has 2 mods but almost 2 times the topic/post total of the Italian board, so basically 1 german mod handle almost the same amount of topic/post of the actual only italian mod.

Do you only think in terms of numbers?

Do you only think in terms of numbers?

When adding new moderator, I think theymos check whether it is "needed". If Hostfat can manage it, then IMHO it doesn't need a new moderator but if his actions are slow atm, a new mod can be added. It all depends on situations.

I'm used to base any proposal on hard fact not on my hopes. OP told us in his post that total topics & posts in Italian local board require more mods, pedrosoft pointed out that german local board has 2 mods, as well as he listed other local boards' mods numbers. However absolute numers means nothing, since what is important is to check is the workload of a moderator.

[gdassori]

I don't find why alexrossi didn't spoken with HostFat about that.

Q: HostFat, do you think the italian section needs a new moderator ?
A: " another mod (that I don't feel needed now) "

Cool, we're done here.

so why making such a fuss if the moderator himself (hostfat) didn't say anything?

I still don't get why having to compare with other boards. I simply don't see the point. That's it.

Because numbers already said why italian mod didn't say anything: Numbers shows an additional mod was not needed at the moment.
