New Mods

[Ralph]

Haven't posted in three days due to time constrains, but I've still checked in and made sure things are running smoothly. I realize that there will be times when I'm needed and not around, and that no forum can be run my one man.

Because of that, I'm going to PM a few people tonight to see if they're interested in being mods.

If you'd like to suggest someone for consideration (even yourself), that please feel free t PM me, or post it publicly here.

[azumia]

I say Vulcan... lol he's always on and has good ideas about things. Sounds like the start of a campaign...

[litepink]

id be interested!

[Vulcan2422]

I say Vulcan... lol he's always on and has good ideas about things. Sounds like the start of a campaign...

Thanks! :D

I think Azumia should probably Mod the For Sale Forum. Considering She has One Feedback So far :D

[Ninja Mugg]

Thanks! :D

She is experienced. :)

[Mr. Woo]

Vulcan definitely. He is always on. Just to reiterate.

[Grimace404]

I vote Ninja Mugg and Vulcan. Thee shall lead us well. And don't let all that power go to your heads, kids. I'll be watching...

[P05TMAN]

Well, its not official or anything but I can look after the feedback thread since its not so crazy (yet). Im sure you guys would want me to Mod more than one thread though but I feel even though Im new, I probably hit my little MM bookmark button to here at least once or twice a day. To cut to the chase, I would be up for it.
*Also, I third Ninja Mugg and Vulcan. They are on as much if not more than me so might as well put them to work :p

[Ralph]

Vulcan, Ninja and litepink are now Mods! Congrats. There will be more soon, so stick around all those of you that expressed interest.

[Ninja Mugg]

Radical! lol..Thanks ralph. I would like to thank god, the academy, my mom....:D

[litepink]

sweet, thanks :)

[Vulcan2422]

Thank You Thank You! I feelz Special! :D

[atgscl]

aren't Mods not allowed to win contests on the site? ;)

but seriously, isnt that like a rule on any forum?

[Ralph]

That may be a rule in the future, but since I'm chosing mods three days prior to the end of the contest that ran for a month, it's not an issue this time.

[atgscl]

lol thats good for the new mods!

[Ninja Mugg]

lol thats good for the new mods!

Yes that is good news

[toyboy]

hey congrats Vulcan, Ninja Mugg and litepink for being the new moderators of this forum. keep the forum clean and healthy (informative topics, friendly threads, stress free forum and a lot more) for us members.. :D

[Vulcan2422]

Will Do! ;)

Except for the Stree Free Part :p

[toyboy]

(knocking my head)

[Ninja Mugg]

ei Ninja, 'Ninja Mod'??? You are the new moderator of this forum?? Congrats man, am i late about the news or what??

nweiz.. go get them ninja!! :D


I have been a mod for a while...or since the same day Vulcan and Litepink.

Ninja is on the job!! :D

[toyboy]

oh crap.. i just forgot.. memory lost. there was my post congratulating you! lol.. stupid me.. ill just edit my post! hahaha.
Reason for editing.. too much meat!!

[kai11]

congrats! to all of you.

[Spider-Man]

I think Cyberscream and SuperHeromuggs should be mods. :D

Iono about me though :/

[Spider-Man]

Vulcan, Ninja and litepink are now Mods! Congrats. There will be more soon, so stick around all those of you that expressed interest.

Gratz to those 3 :D

[Teeks]

I hate to bump such an old topic but I feel as if maybe it's time to get a new mod or two. As the forum gets bigger, it gets a little harder to regulate and control what's posted or what has multiple topics and all that jazz. While I think the current mods do really well at regulating things, there's only 3 people of power currently and hundreds of new posts are made a day. The Buy/Sell/Trade board is a good example of a board that may need better regulation.

I don't mean to poke my head into site business that isn't really my concern but I felt it should be brought up. I'm sure the mods have discussed it before. If I'm in the wrong here, tell me. I will not take offense. Just making a suggestion.

[DarthIndianaBond]

I'm with ya Teeks!

[irulan]

I totally agree with Teeks. The mods have been doing an awesome job, but having more members and losing a mod is definitely starting to show.

[Grak]

There should be a mod for every section. (Maybe one person can do TF, Joes, and Indy). By doing this, the flow of new pointless threads can be controlled.

I cringe every time I visit the SW section because every time I go there is a new thread like "OMG I love teh Vaderz LAWL" and then people ACTUALLY RESPOND to this garbage. Only mods should be able to open new threads in the SW, Marvel, etc. sections.

[Kire von Banhammer]

I nominate Teeks! He's online all the time and has nothing better to do with his life!

[DarthIndianaBond]

I'd actually love to do it but I don't know if I'm too inexperienced.

I disagree with your last point. Everyone should be able to make new threads not just Mods, that's the point of an open forum.
Anyway, I agree with everyone else. We need more mods, at least one more.

[XanderCrews]

I concur. At least one more mod.

People can still discuss things in a open forum with my idea. If only mods are able to make new threads it will be easier to find the right discussion. There are always pointless threads that people start because they are either retarded or too lazy to find the thread that was already started.

Then it becomes the Mods responsibility to move and merge the topics to the right area. Or even lock topics that are duplicates. This forum would be super lame if I couldn't make topics.

[Grak]

This forum is already lame because people can't find the discussion they are looking for. Look at these threads from the SW section...


Go to first new post Where's R2?


Would you recommend...


with all the odd choices made to make Muggs from star wars charecters...


is this for real?


Doubles? Good or Bad?


Biggs....Plastic or Vinyl head?


disappointed in new wave?


Did u no that i like wookiees?


star wars Wave 9


pictures of clone army?


Emperor Palpatine or Darth Sidius?


Tired of Trooper Muggs?


New exclusive muggs?











Look how many pointless or repeat threads there are. How can anyone be expected to find the right discussion when every 2 days there is a pile of crap threads they have to wade through. Maybe 20% of the threads above should exist, all the others are just fluff. Here is what the SW section should look like:

SW Mighty Muggs Wave 1 (and all others in separate threads)

SW Rumor Thread

SW Mighty Muggs Questions Thread

SW General Discussion

SW Variant Thread

Etc.

Everything should be very orderly so people can find the discussion they are looking for.

Hey! "would you recommend" was mine and it was not pointless! lol
I needed help! ;)

But yeah, your suggestion was really good!
I wish we had those!

[Green Eggs and Death]

It would probably just make things easier to have "Official" Wave threads stickied. That way we wouldn't have four or five posts about the same "sightings" or "news."
The rest will eventually fall by the wayside.

There is a ton of stuff to do for only two Mods and 4,300+ members.

Discouraging people from posting what they want will eventually discourage people from posting altogether.

[Grak]

But see you HAD to start that thread because there is no right place for your question. I don't blame you.

And I know this would take a lot of work for the mods, which is why there should be one mod per section. Heck I'll even volunteer to do the SW section. If people want a new thread started, all they need to do is PM a mod and it will be up within minutes/hours. If the new thread has no purpose, he/she will get a response saying "Hey, your question is good but you don't need to start a thread about it. Try here: Link"

Easy as that.

Also remember this would only be for the SW, Marvel, etc. sections not the whole site.

[Ninja Mugg]

unfortunatly forums dont work that way. you cant just throw every single question into a general topic or things will never get answered.

What really needs to happen:

1. SEARCH before you post
2. If you going to post something that is meaningless (EX: "Did u no that i like wookiees?") Please do so in the off topic section
3. STAY ON TOPIC when posting in threads.
4. SEARCH BEFORE YOU POST
5. Dont talk about Fight club.

those would make the forum run more smoothly...but...its going to take the membesr to make it a better place.

[Run L1ke H3LL]

Absolutely correct. I think that the we need to have more stickies in each forum, or rearrange and reorganize the entire forum.

I agree with you fully Ninja but people simply won't do that. It is too much work for them so they just start a new topic. The examples I listed were just a select few of course there would be more.

As for people being discouraged from posting, what a load of crap! They can still post all they want just not NEW THREADS THAT TAKE UP SPACE!!

[irulan]

I agree with Green Eggs and Death. It makes way more sense to sticky the "official" threads than get rid of the option of posting new threads.

[Green Eggs and Death]

How about:

6. THINK about your topic's TITLE. Half the problem with finding something, even using the Search option, is that Topic titles oftentimes are very vague or not nearly descriptive enough. Topics like "OMG" which contain news about new Muggs, or "Muggs on Sale!" when there is already a "Muggs on sale at Target (example)" topic.

Currently there is a new "Urban Outfitters Mugg Sale" (not exact) post, when we already have one. However, the FIRST one (posted days ago) didn't mention Urban Outfitters in the title, it is something along the lines of "Muggs Really Cheap!" ... It's a very helpful topic, but It would help if titles like that would go the way of the Dodo.

[Grak]

What are we going to do, sticky 15 threads? Then it won't matter than people can posts new threads because they will start so far down the page to begin with.

[Run L1ke H3LL]

How about we submit our POSTS to moderators too. That would eliminate all the stupidity I read.
Hey, you can go first!

[irulan]

They wouldn't have to sticky 15 threads. They could combine the ones that are talking about the same thing- it's been done before.

[true]

Man I agree there are a whole lot of useless threads. Ones that drive me insane are...

Incomplete thread titles like:
"Don't you hate it when.........."
"Guess what??!"
"Look what I just bought!!"

"Cheap" starting prices on eBay
Links to thread starter's eBay auction

Bragging/mocking threads
That one dude kept posting pics of how stocked his TRU was of Puns and Jigsaw. And his thread was something like "Still can't find Punisher or Jigsaw?"

We just got to bump the maturity level up a bit

[Ninja Mugg]

Green eggs and Death are also both correct.

1. We cant sticky everything, or you would never see new threads.

2. I cant stand it when I see poorly labeled titles. When I change them I get a question in pm like "Why did you change my title"

Its obvious from everything that everyone posted there is no simple solution. We just all need to keep threads clean as possible, and in the right place. Searching is always a huge compliant on everyboard I have ever been on. I am surprised we dont have a "Search Nazi" who yells at every noob to use the search function....seemes to be one on every board.

Where do you get that from? 15? You'd have two or three in each category, tops. A Wave announcement Sticky or two (even for two or three Waves at once you'd only have ... two or three stickies) and a Wave Sighting sticky (a general one, as regional sighting threads wouldn't have to be stickied 'cause THAT would be too many).

[Green Eggs and Death]

Yes, if you're a member of a forum and everyone who has ever joined and posted a topic used the Search option FIRST ... wake up, 'cause you're just dreaming. :p:D

[elizabethlestat]

I think 1 or 2 new mods would definitely be helpful:)

I thought the stickys would be all the important topics. I made a rough estimate of how many topics I thought would be important enough to be stickied. I guess you think it is too much.

[Green Eggs and Death]

I thought the stickys would be all the important topics. I made a rough estimate of how many topics I thought would be important enough to be stickied. I guess you think it is too much.

Personally, I thought you were just using hyperbole. I doubt there would be 15 really important subjects in each category. Yes, that would be too much. However, even Wave Stickied threads could be "UN" stickied after they've outlived their usefulness.

[dashrndar23]

I agree that a new mod would be helpful. And as for my nomination... Green Eggs and Death! Everyone here seems to be agreeing with what he is saying here so he obviously has good ideas. So I think he'd do a great job.

[Teeks]

I dunno, while I agree with everything Death has to say in this topic, there are a lot of other topics where he's been involved in arguments. While they're not all his fault, seems to be a recurring theme on this here board. Another thing mods would need to deal with.

As far as regulating specific sections, I think the only board that would neccessary on would be the Buy/Sell/Trade board since it seems to be the biggest board as well as the one to have the most posts violating certain rules. 12OunceEpilogue would be a good choice to mod that section since he seems to have a handle on keeping up with the rules and informing people of what they're doing wrong.

That is to say, if any new mods are chosen at all.

[jay50mugger]

Lite pink coul do it. she seems recourceful and smart. And she has a nice collection too.

[Run L1ke H3LL]

I don't really think it should our decision to pick another mod. That decision should be made by the moderators only. I would be happy with anyone at this point.
Another suggestion. Using the report post feature to alert the mods if something needs to be deleted edited or moved.

[Teeks]

Litepink's already a mod...

[Run L1ke H3LL]

[Green Eggs and Death]

Litepink is one of the two mods.

If you "monitor" my arguments, they mainly consist of two themes:
1) People in denial about Mugg cancellation and my Logical arguments stating why it's true (though I, like them, wish it were not)
and
2) People that love their favorite characters so much that they cannot stand ANY criticism of them whatsoever.

Too bad, really. There is NOTHING I dislike worse than arguing ... except brussel sprouts.

I am NOT here to nominate or put forth my name as a mod. I'm just tossin' in some suggestions. By the time you're 42, HOPEfully you've learned SOMEthing. Not EVERYthing, but SOMEthing. ;)

[zepo23]

I nominate Teeks! He's online all the time and has nothing better to do with his life!

Hahahaha LOWWW blow dude...

Arguing's fun when people do it respectfully :]
And nothing lasts forever, of course muggs will eventually get cancelled, but you can't predict how soon, no one can. (I haven't been "monitoring" your arguments, so i could be wrong)

I agree with you. I haven't noticed you making any "unreasonable" comments. We have a mutual dislike for your #1 and #2.

[Green Eggs and Death]

Heh, I predict nothing (oops, that was for Zepo ... too slow, lol). Hell, the only thing I DID predict, that Hasbro would keep the GI JOE Mugg line over others ('cause it's THEIR property), turned out to be wrong. :eek: No, Hasbro itself has said they're only keeping the SW and Marvel lines. People just don't want to believe it and, really, I don't care anymore if they do or not, it's not my business anyway. Should've kept it that way, I know better.

I agree that there should be two people lookin' to choose new Mods, IF ANY, and that's Ninja and Litepink.

[Teeks]

Well, I think Ralph really has the final say lol

Ralph tries to prevent the server from dying and deletes spam. He also appreciates the title of un-lessar being and both taking in third person and long walks on the beach.

Side note: New mod discussion in works.

any suggestions for sub forums as well for organizational issues?

I've been thinking about some possibilities for reorganizing, I'll post back here when I finish.

[Nova]

and for new mods, i think 3 more should be added. we need atleast 1 mod for each of the 5 different forums. seeing how this forum keeps growing, the more mods the better, to keep it clean and going.

each sub forum should have its own set of rules stickyed also.

any suggestions for sub forums as well for organizational issues?

The sightings board could use some regional organization. Right now, because of the lack of stating which area the sighting is in in the title, you can open a topic title "WAVE 6!" and it ends up being sighted in Wyoming while you live in California. It shouldn't be split up state by state or anything. But maybe east, west, south, north, something like that. Or set it up so that in order to post a topic in the Sightings board, you must state WHERE THE SIGHTING IS in the title.

And I still believe the Buy/Sell/Trade board should be split into seperate Buy, Sell, and Trade sections.

Maybe each Mugg section could use sections for upcoming waves and past waves? IDK. Just throwing out ideas.

[irulan]

The custom tips and tricks section could use some more organization. It would be helpful if there were more tutorials stickied, like Kirelestat's, so you would not have to go searching for them.

Or maybe pick certain threads that involve a repeatedly asked question, and sticky the ones with useful information. For example, any of the airbrush, primer, or paint type threads.

These are just things that I noticed when I did my first custom, and I think would be beneficial to others who are trying to do their own custom.

[Run L1ke H3LL]

I'll start from the top of the homepage and work down.

Mighty Muggs Forum
---New and Suggestions
------Looks fine to me, no suggestions.
---Introductions
------Again looks fine to me, no suggestions.
---Mugg Sightings
------Needs to be organized. Separated into regions, maybe stickies or sub-forums for each region. I would go with sub-forums personally.

Mighty Muggs Lineup
---Star Wars Mighty Muggs
------Looks fine, no suggestions.
---Marvel Mighty Muggs
------Looks fine no suggestions.
---GI Joe Mighty Muggs
------Should be deleted and moved into a new forum for dead lines.
---Transformers Mighty Muggs
------Should be deleted and moved into a new forum for dead lines.
---Indiana Jones Mighty Muggs
------Should be deleted and moved into a new forum for dead lines.
Muggs In General
------Looks fine, no suggestions.

Might Muggs Customs(This spelling error needs to be fixed.)
---Custom News
------Rename it a new sub-forum titled "Custom Muggs etc." We don't really need updates from custommightymuggs.net.
---Custom Tips & Tricks
------Combine with Art & Mockups into new forum titled "Custom Muggs etc."
---Art & Mockups
------Combine with Tips & Tricks into new forum titled "Custom Muggs etc.
---Custom Showcase
------Fine the way it is. Only two sub-forums in this area this and "Custom Muggs etc." Custom showcase is the only place to post your creations, or someone elses with proper credit. Needs to be monitored to reduce redundant threads.

Mighty Muggs Marketplace
---Buy, Sell & Trade
------Fine, no suggestions.
---Feedback
------Fine, no suggestions.
---Everything eBay
------Fine, no suggestions.

Everything Else
---Too much to list all of them. I would keep the Off Topic forum, and move the Sports, Video games, and TV & Movies sub-forums into it. I would combine Action Figures and Other Collectibles into the Other Collectibles forum.

Overall I think it would simplify things. Of course this would only work if it was heavily moderated.

[Green Eggs and Death]

I would keep the Custom Tips and Tricks and Art & Mockups seperate only because I just think that there are tons more Art & Mockup posts and some Custom Tips and Tricks posts that might have some good stuff in them would get lost quickly. MOST of the good tips and tricks might be stickied, but probably not all of them will be caught.

Other than that, I like the consolidation ideas.

[true]

I think a "Rumors/Speculation" section should be added. Either globally or in each Mugg category

[litepink]

i agree. some organization is needed in the mugg sightings sections. or perhaps they just need proper titles. thats easy, i can work on that soon.
i think i can make it a lot easier to navigate.

[12OunceEpilogue]

My main issue is with people posting new threads that belong somewhere else. We all know that entails posting something that already has its own thread, or the "LAWLZ, look what I found at K-Martzor!" when it should go in the sightings threads. I don't even think it should be a matter of combining and moving those into threads. If it was me...

1) Post a sticky stating that redundant threads or things that should go elsewhere will be deleted. Anytime someone gets their thread deleted and they want to know why they need to pm a mod to find out why, not bitch on the board about it and clog things up with more threads whining.
2) If they post a thread whining about their thread being deleted, issue a warning and pm it. Delete that thread.
3) If they do it again, 3 day vacation from the board.
4) Increasing vacations up to banning if they can not follow the rules.

Mods shouldn't have to break their backs trying to move posts to keep people happy. The rules are posted, they agree to them by signing up. If they can't follow them, their stuff gets deleted and they are reprimanded. Only way to keep people from doing this crap. Just would be my policy.

[12OunceEpilogue]

Furthermore, the sightings mess would be handled fairly well if there were separate threads for each of the major vendors for starters. Individual threads for Walmart, Target, K-Mart, TRU, Hasbrotoyshop, and any other MAJOR vendor people think of, I reckon. Keep the sightings in those threads if they correspond or delete. People should have to state where they found the items. That way it is a two-pronged approach that cleans things up to a certain while also helping people know where Muggs are being found by certain store. Keep the sightings out of the sub-forums for each line, only in the sightings. The major vendors, and if people find others, so be it. EBay findings in the ebay section. Violations are deleted, plain and simple.

[Kire von Banhammer]

yeah! Sticky that one!

The custom tips and tricks section could use some more organization. It would be helpful if there were more tutorials stickied, like Kirelestat's, so you would not have to go searching for them.

Or maybe pick certain threads that involve a repeatedly asked question, and sticky the ones with useful information. For example, any of the airbrush, primer, or paint type threads.

These are just things that I noticed when I did my first custom, and I think would be beneficial to others who are trying to do their own custom.

[Kramps]

i wanna be a mod :D im a mod for a couple forums

[toyboy]

can i apply for being a moderator in the Custom Thread Section? :)

[flashtestmanalive]

or in the sightings thread, just make threads for each state.

well not EVERY state but those that want their states represented can say so (maybe ask this question in a thread?)

and then just add it and people can post what they've seen within that STATE only.

[Ninja Mugg]

at this point we arent looking to add anymore mods...but we will discuss it. I agree though, we need more organization.

[Green Eggs and Death]

Ban political discussion (make it a rule). I'm tired of talkin' it and I'm sure people are tired of talkin' it with me. As long as someone brings somethin' up, however, I will participate in it. Best to keep it off these boards alltogether. The best forums I've seen have NONE of that allowed. As long as we all share a "love" for the main subject of these forums, Mighty Muggs, that's all that should count. :D

The only thing that we need to be "separated" by are heated discussions of MORE Spidey Mighty Muggs vs NO MORE Spidey Mighty Muggs. ;)

[Run L1ke H3LL]

I don't think banning political discussion is necessary. I'm a member on a couple of forums where it's banned and it's no fun at all. I think as long as it only takes place in the off topic forum then it's fine. If you don't want to participate then don't enter the threads that are about politics. I'm all about leaving the forums to the forum members. Less moderator involvement the better.
Call me libertarian if you will.

[Kire von Banhammer]

I agree on that one!:D

They aren't looking to add anymore mods. Besides a sure fire way not to get chosen is to ask, everyone knows that.

Right on dude.
That's why it's called Off-Topic...

I, on the other hand, have seen forums completely dissolve because of it (not to mention religious discussion). What on EARTH would be the point of having it here, on a Mugg discussion forum anyway, "Off Topic" or not? Is there someone that is going to Learn something from it? Jeez, I hope they would know that there are a million other places/forums they could go for that kind of info and/or discussion.

Heck, most of those topics are just started by people that just want to argue. What the heck kind of a person just wants to argue? Not someone I want to hang out with, that's for sure.

Anyway, keep it allowed if everyone wants. IF a "political" topic IS CLEARLY LABELED as such, I'll know to avoid it. I hope to heck though, for anyone here that has no real opinions on any issues, they don't take the talk here as gospel, but rather a starting point or something to peak their interest, so they can go somewhere else and get more information.

We might as well ban all off topic discussions then since they have nothing to do with Muggs. If people want to talk about it then I say why not let them.
I agree though, the topic should be clearly labeled. And political/religious discussions shouldn't be started in threads about a different topic. And if they are, and they want to continue, then the title should be changed to reflect that.

No religion or politics. It divides people which is the last thing we need.

It's not going to divide people if we segregate the discussion from everything else, that way people can avoid it.

Very true, but it can be hard to filter stuff like sometimes.

It wouldn't be too difficult. We would need more moderators, which I think we need anyway, and people could report posts to moderators that were violating the rules. Also members could just follow the rules.

[12OunceEpilogue]

Politics/religion are generally pissing matches and intellectual masturbation on forums, but if they have their own sub-forum I reckon they are alright. I have my bachelor's of science in political science and finance. I'm currently working on my masters in Public Health, which deals with a lot of policy and finance still. It is POSSIBLE to talk about politics and be reasonable. That being said, I've only bothered to participate in one such discussion on here and it was the day Obama was elected. Unsurprisingly, definitely had some people acting like children in that one. I don't side with one party or the other and I'm level-headed with some expertise in the field. If you want to have a sub-forum I'll pop my head in every once in a while.

No, that's a lousy comparison. Do you really believe that a Lost vs The Office topic (as an example) would be the same? Come on. :rolleyes:
In all of my years, I don't know that I've seen the same acrimony comin' out of other subjects as it does out of discussion of religion and politics ... except maybe certain Sport teams vs others, naturally.

Regardless, it's just something I brought up. We don't need to focus on it as it's not our choice anyway.

Fair enough. I'm done arguing over it.

If you have a problem with me, PM me (that goes for everybody), because it's obvious you don't know what you're talking about.This part of the discussion was over. We can continue it in private, if you really need to.

Mods, feel free to delete my last several posts, if that'll get this subject off this crap.

Yea. It'll stay here for a while. And I don't even know what every one is fighting over. Or whatever. If new mods are needed then we'll be notified. No need to make this thread go on forever with random stuff.
