Okay, listen up, everyone. I want to have a discussion with everybody on Sparky's. I welcome everyone to join in on this conversation and please contribute some input.
As many of you know, over the past week, we have been having some drama, which has caused one of the sections of the board to be put on lockdown. We have also had a troll come in and post random flame wars, which I wasn't around to witness, but I heard it got taken care of. I think part of the reason why this stuff has happened is because we don't seem to have a strong enough team of moderators and administrators, so this is what I think should be done.
First of all, the administrators. Right now, we've got Sparky, Oddy, Drake, Rip, Two-Tone and Nemo. In my opinion, I think that is way too many administrators. I think the only administrators that Sparky should have right now alongside him are Nemo and Oddy. The reason why I think it should be those two is because they've both been very active and doing a good job keeping this board under control. As for the other three, Drake and Rip rarely ever come onto this board anymore, and Two-Tone has had a history of abusing her powers. So with that said, I believe that Drake, Rip and Two-Tone should no longer be administrators, and Nemo and Oddy should remain administrators as they are now. We may need a fourth administrator, but I think we should give ourselves a little more time to see how things go first before deciding on that.
Now for the moderators. I have said this numerous times before. The moderators for each section of the board needs to be updated drastically. The mods who are assigned to each section are mostly members who haven't been on this board in God knows how long. Well, I've been around for a while, so I've taken into account who is currently active and who I think would be appropriate to moderate each section. Here is what I think the assigned moderators should be:
General Board: ?
Franchise Discussion: The Huntsman

Anyway, that's what I personally think the new moderators should be. If anyone has any questions or things they'd like to add to this, please say them by all means. I want this to be open up for discussion so we can possibly help Sparky make this board a better place to hang out at.
