Hi guys,
Sorry to bother you but I was just wondering if the Org administrators/moderators have any future plans for large or small scale change in the workings of the Org. It's not that it really needs any change, the Org is perfect the way that is is, I'm just wondering. Thanks guys.
Well, Im not a mod nor an admin, but i think the org should follow the style, without changing nothing.Quote:

I thought I'd raise this issue here to save starting a new thread. Question: Have we started having elections for Assistant Moderators now?
:bow:
In general, no, and imo it'd be a bad idea.
In the mp forums it's a different issue though - community expertise can be useful in running them thanks to a knowledge of the clanning community that Rob simply doesn't have (not being a mp player himself).
When it comes down to it, it was Rob's decision, and as he chose to do it this way that's fine. While it may not seem like the best idea, if it works for him we should have no problem with it.
No normal Orger visits the MP forums, those are for the MP community only, mostlikely only MP players will vote there and thus you get MP mods for the MP community who are backed up by that community.
What would you rather have:
An old football player in charge of the UEFA or someone from some business who never played football and only wants to make it more commercial?
I was simply curious as to the reasoning behind it all. It does indeed make perfect sense for Rob to find an Assistant Moderator from among the regular patrons of the forum in question, I'm just not entirely convinced that a public poll is the right way to go about it.
:bow:
Nor am I, tbh, but it's his choice :yes:
If the old player in question is Michel 'No Tackles' Platini, I'll take the businessman.Quote:

Electing AM has been done before. Frogbeastegg was the first AM and elected too.
And was also done for MP AM's 2 1/2 years ago or so.

The M2TW MP is not really a forum that I frequent, and thus not really any of my my business, so I'll leave it at that.
:bow:
I understand Caravel. Making a poll hidden is not a normal option. I should have coordinated that better, sorry.Quote:

My personal opinion about voting AMs aside, just because they are voted into a position doesn't mean they are now 'AM For Life'. I'm sure the moderator who ran the election, or TosaInu (or god as I like to think of him), has the ability to strip the elected AM back down to one of us grunts if found out to be less than suitable for the position.
Luckily for us, the Forums aren't a democracy so we don't have to bother with trying to impeach such a person.
If I can how is the fellow we are refering to working out? Hope the poor guy doesn't take all of this to heart.
*pulling nose out of other people's business*
About selecting some place, why not a hidden poll who only can see the AM, M, FA, and SM?
Im not sure
if you ask me, if FrogBeastEgg makes a MTW2 beginner's guide, this place will explode with newcomers
Well I don't want to go too far in speaking for her, but I think our resident Froggy is far busier than she used to be -- I doubt she has much time to write up guides like she used to. (And she was pretty busy even back then! How she ever managed to find time to write that first Beginners Guide, I don't think we'll ever know. :dizzy2: )Quote:

I don't look at the front page :grin2:
Is there even main page?

though I think most people just bookmark the forums sections. It is probably first part you get coming from links on other sites / search engines though and I would agree with OliverWKim that it could do with a makeover. Compressing the amount of space taken up by the logo so you see some of the more interesting content without having to scroll down would help.
wait...theres a totalwar.org?
:laugh4:
I just go to the forums, i think ive looked at that page once.
