    Question Cleaning up of modding forums?

    I have noticed that some mods in the RTW area are inactive/dead for a veryyy looong time. Wouldn't it be recommended a clean up on aisle 5?
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    I don't think that any of them will be deleted Garciliaso. Those which are already considered dead end up in this subcategory.

    It's not normal org policy to delete any content that doesn't break the rules. So we've created the archive forum so that the old forums don't clutter.

    However, we've also decided that we won't be removing any subforums without the express permission of the team, which at the moment is only those two.

    Hope that clarifies.

    Shouln't Pike and Musket 1 be in the MTW VI mod section, not RTW? It is for MTW VI. And I think XL, BKB Super Mod and BKB's Age of Warlords should be hosted mods for MTW VI. They are all very good.

    And what does it take to be a moderator here? I love the org to pieces, it's so less cluttered than TWC plus I just like the forum layout 100x more. Do I have to rack up a certain amount of posts? I've allready done that at another, unrelated site. Plus if you look at my history here, I have yet to write one offensive post. So.. pretty please with sugar on top?

    Becoming moderator, as far as I know, involves PM'ing Tosa Inu, informing him of your wishes, and when a position is free/required, he'll take a decision. He's usually a just and fair guy.
    More info will come, obviously, by the mods themselves.

    This origionally came about because a R:TW version was planned. It was then chosen, by either the administration or the mod leader himself, to move the forum from the M:TW Hosted Mods section to the R:TW Hosted Mod area, leaving a link in the process.

    Sadly, for a hosted mod forum to be created, the permission of the mod team leader/the administration is needed. You could drop BKB and VikingHorde PMs though, and see what they think of the idea.

    I think, although am not totally sure, the lowest number of posts an (Assistant) Moderator was ever assigned at was about 300. Although post totals are relevant, post content is probably much more important.

    If you wish to take a slot, feel free to drop Tosa a PM including the forum you would like to help in. Acceptance isn't guaranteed though - multiple stories can be found in which members have requested, but have not received. This was either since there was not the demand or due to other untold reasons.

    The Video Game Total War modifications should be moved to the archives.

    Well thanks for the speedy reply, Omanes Alexandrapolites I get it. I think this post will be # 161. But the content is more important, not spamming my way to post 300.

    Wladyslaw look at me. I wanted to be a full mod, and I never got any major warnings, I have almost 7.400 posts, passed the 2 year mark and I'm still only a normal member.

    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    GAH! No. Look at BKS. He was illegal to be served drinks when he was a mod.

    erm, ok. Maybe I should show up more often. I trotted my way to twcenter yesterday or the day before that, the other few days I was at Paradox. I try to keep an even keel between all three forums.

    Do you guys PM people and ask them to join the staff or do members have to apply?

    I beleive it's a bit of a hybrid. One can either apply "on-spec" hoping there is a position where a little help could be needed, or the administration can go "head hunting" when they feel that a forum needs an extra pair of hands.
