Kicking a Mod off the island: Discussion thread

[MEbenhoe]

Clarkmeister proposed this idea in the Mod Battle thread, and it was approved by Mat. Clark then put power into my hands to run this thing so I would like to do this competition the justice it deserves. This discussion thread is meant to determine the rules and such of this competition.

1. Does the loser of this competition absolutely lose his mod powers or is he simply put up for a review in which he can be saved through some series of challenges, etc?

2. I'm thinking for more fun this should be done survivor style where people are voted off(saved in this instance) and the last person remaining is actually the loser. I think this would be more fun than a tournament, any other thoughts?

3. What is a fair way to do this so that a good mod from another forum doesnt end up being the one voted off simply because no one in OOT has heard of him?

4. Any other issues?

plenty of time to discuss as I'd plan on starting this as soon as the Mod Battle contest is over. I propose that the two mods who reach the final of that contest will be given a free card out of the survivor contest.

Well maybe it should only be mods that post in OOT. Either have them banned from OOT or they cannot be a mod anymore.

How funny would it be if everyone voted that mat had to lose his Mod powers.

So you are basically saying, [censored] is going to get fcked by his own game? Hilarious.

This idea has some major flaws. The only people who (should) have any say in a discussion of a forum mod are the forum users themselves (or 2+2 propper). There is no way I see around this, unless we just did it for OOT mods, but the OOT mods are doing alright.

Also, this sort of thing has a big conceptual problem: the people who drift along never doing anything are less likely to get voted off, but actions will always have people who resent them. Also, it encourages pandering to the lowest comon denominator, which is a lousy trait to encourage in mods.

Very hilarious, but if that's what this is about, let's cut to the chase.

in the spirit of the original idea , i think the penalty for the loser should be the complete loss of moderator status - no further review necessary.

I think it's pretty obvious this is the direction it's headed.
