Turning The Forum Around

I have a few points I want to get at that were a flaw in the last forum. People may or may not like this but this is a more professional, organized style of choosing the right things for the forum. So let's start off with submissions:

- Submissions should be handled by a select group of people. Preferably "trying out" for a spriting position similar to that of sports. They give a showcase of their best work in the application section of the forum, no random "CAN I BEZ A MOD CUZ I MADE THIS!" Simply a couple, or portfolio kind of thing. On that note, keeping your portfolio organized will score you a better chance. I personally think you should only have around a certain amount of positions when it comes to these applications.

- Second off, having poor grammar isn't too good when it comes to applying for a job. Decent grammar will be okay but if you want to score them points, grab some grammar EXP (grammatical RPG joke say what?!?). Decent grammar can be correct spelling but not the best puncuation. Example: "i know what to do but you have to code it correctly okay?" As you can see, there are several problems with capitalization, commas, etc. That is okay however. Though, if you do something like so: "y u have to do someting like dat?" Umm, well, you're not doing too good to start with. I'm telling you, this will get you some extra "hey I like that guy" points.

- This is what concerns me the most. People mainly help the game out by submitting things with an expectation of a modship or adminship. This is false. Your reward is getting what you submit in the game to begin with. Just because you created over 100 sprites for the game (like I did for Scandux) doesn't mean you'll get picked for admin/modship. You should NOT be able to apply for an admin. An administrator is someone who is basically the president of the site. Sure you could have someone you may want in mind Coollog as a "vice president" or something. Other than that, no admins. Now there can be moderators though. But they HAVE to be trustworthy enough to moderate in the first place. People occasionally think, "oh this is just a title it doesn't matter..." but that's not the case. A moderator, well, moderates the forum. They keep a good eye on people behaving badly and keep the forum intact. Once you have two or three moderators, you should discuss whether or not you want to induct another certain indiviual to become one too. You should really all agree on the person you suggest. Remember, this is no "gold star" kind o fthing Coollog...

Well, that basically is the end of my rant. In case no one knew, this is Apple from the Scandux forums. Goodbye.
