Hehe, No Longir, that doesn't sound harsh at all. I know I'm not qualified to mod a board written in portugese(sp?), Sanscrit, or Yittish.

 While I try to stay positive about things, it doesn't stop me from seeing the worst that could happen. It just takes me a few minutes to choke that lil' monster down and see the sunshine.

 Seeing as how I can't see a better alternative ( other than said extra mods ) I'm all for it. I understand that there will be a mod behind the...er, beginner mods...to keep things on an even keel.

Yes, good reasoning Anich. The problem (possibly) is permissions are allocated to a membergroup, not an individual member. While belonging to a particular membergroup can be determined automatically based on post count, I am not sure if karma can affect it. Polls certainly can't.

The difference between karma and polls is that polls are one-vote-per-person whereas I can smite you many times (at a default rate of one smiting per hour). Which means that polls reflect community opinion (if at all) at one particular time, while karma is an ongoing thing. So if at first I vote yes in the 'do we let Anich mod?' poll but subsequently decide you're an idiot, the only way to express this opinion is to start a new poll and vote no. Which, besides spamming, requires everyone else to be interested enough to vote. Which they won't be if polls keep popping up on exactly the same issue. Also, then Frosty puts up his own independent poll on you at the same time. You, bitter and twisted with rage, put up a poll questioning my popularity, and so on. It quickly becomes ludicrous.

With karma these polls become constant and 'invisible'. There is always one poll per person. Anyone can vote on any of them multiple times. So it's still a popularity contest, but at least it is relatively accurate over time and not a cause of spam.

wow very nice plan smacky, i love where you have tooken this!

this new system seems to be a giant leep for the OT board, and im sure there will be people to abuse it but it seems like you have that under control as well

let me know if theres anything i can do to help :}

Anich, wth happened to ur avatar?

Global mods have all mod privs on cc, but I'd prefer them not to use them unless absolutely necessary. Ie, delete a blatant advert, resolve some problem where community mods get in a petty fight, etc.
