Chat mods

With all due respect to the current chat mods, there seems to be huge gaps when none of the staff is online. Not to mention there are also points when, despite being technically online, a staff member is not really paying attention to the chat. (For any huge variety of reasons. responding to a post, RPing, watching television and paying attention only during the commercials, we understand this isn't your full time job.)

However, to lessen any burden, I purpose the reintroduction of daily/weekly/monthly/whatever Chat Mods. However, I do not think the decision should fall squarely on the staff, especially since they're probably going to be unaffected by any new chat staff.

How to give them out? Perhaps a contest of sorts...

Obtaining more chat mods is probably a good idea.

It was already brought up today, and once more less than a month ago in the Staff Lounge.

Here are the options:
1. Contest
2. Popular election
3. Staff discretion (as in past selections of Chat mods)

Why not a combination of all of them? I mean, do we really only need one new person looking out for whatever?

Well, what would be needed are people who are on the chat and pay attention and who will not abuse their powers. Honestly, how many people on CWA fit within those parameters?

Keith, why are you asking obvious questions that have already obviously been thought of?

I have the feeling the "doesn't pay attention" refers to me. Of course you can just IM me on AIM or MSN if my Mod powers are needed.

@ Gouki: Sometimes you're the only mod on, though.

@ Billie: I'd prefer one method to get as many chat mods as we deem necessary. That way we get them all at once, and they can begin monitoring the chat. Perhaps we could offer one position via contest, and the rest could be chosen through one of the other means. I don't think any mixing of methods would work very well beyond that much, though.

Nominating Chat Mods should definitely be a popularity contest

[Simply stating in general]

Probably to put emphasis on the thought.

[shrugs] "I'm just sayin'."


[sees Gouki's post, and asks in general:]

So what do you guys wanna do?
