[Guest MrSako]

Admins:

<(^.^<):

The most active Admin. He's in all the threads, I have no complaints.

cntrstrk14:

The most senior Admin. The 'owner' of NA. Not as proactive in approving stuff, but makes occasional rulings. No complaints.

Enigma'sDelerium:

No complaints because I haven't seen them do anything.

Fu Xi:

No complaints because I haven't seen them do anything.

Matthias Drake:

On a lot, which is a big plus. However, gets a little too excited with things like Deck of Few Things. Apart from that one thing, no complaints, did a decent job on the Chuunin Exams, but could have moved it along faster.

Nayuki:

No complaints because I haven't seen them do anything.

Suien:

No complaints because I haven't seen them do anything.

Moderators:

Arashi:

Never seen Arashi get mad at anyone, one of the most kind moderators on the board. The only thing is sometimes spelling, but since you're from Sweden I don't expect you to be a master of English... well, I don't expect anyone to be a master of English, as most players are 13-16 and are still learning high school grammar.

CrimVII:

No complaints because I haven't seen them do anything.

Enishi:

No complaints because I haven't seen them do anything.

Gurt:

No complaints because I haven't seen them do anything.

Ironwolf:

I can't say anything bad about my old teammate! Remember Hyuuga Hideaki?! Well... the only knock was the one time you approved something without reading what I said... other than that, nothing bad.

Jake:

Not a mod anymore. Neither is Mensmentis. Neither am I. So the three of us together equal a whole lot of knowledge base for you to pick at.

Kenji-San:

Gets grounded a bit too often... right now he is MIA for 2 weeks plus and he's my Tsuchikage, so I can't get a request through... this shows that we need 'backup Kages' in case the main one goes down for an unexplained reason.

Khaos:

Mostly fair... not as proactive in approving stuff as others.

Kitai Tenshi:

Mostly fair... a bit more proactive in approving stuff than others.

Kouta:

Likes to voice his opinion on most creation items. Is a good foil to the 'kind' moderators, but most of the time is logical in his statements. Could use a little work in saying things in a nicer way. No real complaints.

Mokujin:

Pretty decent moderator, approves stuff at a normal rate.

Shikyo:

Been absent for a while, but made a brief comeback. Is good when he's around, wish he was more active.

Tantan:

Pretty decent moderator, approves stuff at a normal rate.

Tao:

aka Draseri...My Jounin... inactive for a bit, but left a lessened activity notice (as I did). Approves stuff less than others.

Final Notes: Being a former Mod myself... yes, things get busy real fast, and NA is one of the first things from the list of things to get dropped (it is, after all, just a game). So, I'm not really in favor of 'dropping' people from staff, but I'd use a series of 'nudges' to get the less active ones more active. One thing that would really help out is that when some people become Chuunins, they pick up a Gennin Team and go on missions. This way, PCs get involved in stuff, and since Chuunins would also receive XP, things would be good. Maybe even do the occasional B-rank mission with a Chuunin + high-level Gennins (around lvl 15+). This would lessen the burden on staff for being Jounin... Kages are still needed to hand out special A-rank and above missions.

But yeah... get the Chuunins to be in charge of teams, and there will be more 'breathing room' for staff. Once I get to Chuunin, I intend on picking up some Iwa Gennin and taking them out on missions... fun for all of us, and I have an incentive to post because I get xp/cash from missions as well, whereas many Jounin just assign and sit back... remember the model we have: Kakashi was thoroughly involved in the missions (and got to fight Zabuza as well). It's like... you go on the mission, and the Gennin do all the grunt work while you read Come, Come Paradise... and then when the real baddy appears, you hop in and take care of it. And your Gennin help you out if you get into trouble.

EDIT: I saw RN post up some 'should be mod but aren't' stuff, so I will comment on those, too:

And now, for the "Should be something bu aren't" Category....

MrSako: In the Army... in medical school... has a beautiful girlfriend whom he wants to spend more time with (but she goes to school and works, too, otherwise he'd be a lot less active here ). Ummmm... was a mod once, but I got burned out. I'm happy being a 'senior member' and offering advice on how to fix stuff... besides, my time is going to be increasingly less as medical school progresses and *gasp* I one day become a doctor... maybe even married. If I were in a position of responsibility, I'd have to give it up, so it is better to not pick one up, to have fun while it lasts, and when it is time to say goodbye, I'll gather up all the Dragon Balls Spheres, and wave goodbye to all my fans. And may poke my head with some random post every year or so, haha!

gXb: Don't know enough about gXb/experimental lover to say anything... sorry I couldn't really take part in the quest

Rei: Get around that tongue, and you have one very active, very knowledgable person. I'd recommend Rei as a Kage of a Village.

Mensmentis: Mensmentis/Zionward/Grey is... complicated. When he's active, he is ACTIVE and when he is not active, he is sick, and he's sick every now and then. Probably the most creative on the board, most knowledgable about how the system works, was once an Admin who promoted me to a Mod, and the legend of MrSako began... I'd be happy to see him back on the team as at least a mod, but I think staff would get a headache.

Maelstrom: Apart from the recent burnout, Maelstrom is pretty cool-headed and friendly. Kinda like Arashi, but with better grammar.

Ravage Nocture: Ahem... Azrael/RN, elder brother of Mensmentis, 2nd most creative guy on the board. I'd give him modship just to make his life miserable. That's what you get for putting my name out there!

Nappers: Doesn't sleep, is on every time I log on... pretty good in RPing, I say give a shot at modship, have him start out by being a Jounin of -one- team, and as he gets the ropes, take a stab at approvals, etc.

Edited May 25, 2006 by MrSako

[Nappers]

A note: These comments are based upon what I have observed during my short time on the NA. And can only reflect what I know of staff to do (meaning obviously I have no idea how much NPC/Kage/Staff area stuff you actually contribute to). Regarding 'approval/critique' of created stuff im going to bunch as 'general staff duties'.

Admin:

<(^.^<):

Of the admin they've been the one who do more that goes in the way of reviewal/critique of things created by members. Sometimes I find myself online around noon my time when no one else is on really, to find that he has commented on around 5 topics within each creation thread in a short space of time. When PMd with general queries he has been quick to respond, or iron out any questions; thus one of the most helpful people to PM.

cntrstrk14:

More recently he hasnt been very active.. but it is that time of year isnt it. When active, they played an active role as the Kyoukage of Oto, being quick to approve and dish out missions. Regarding general staff duties, well I don't think I've seen much, to be honest I cant recall.

Enigma'sDelerium:

So.. aparantly they came back.. For the few months I've been here they haven't done anything obviously, and after such a long period out I dont think anyone of this staff level should be considered to be a part of the 'admin' team.

Fu Xi:

Well, they've moved on with their lives, and should not be on the staff team.

Matthias Drake:

With general duties they're are quite handy, giving out some information about how to improve skills/techs rather than just bashing them. They've taken me through TST twice now, and were extremely active and reliable in posting in order to help complete it, and made it quite interesting. Perhaps just a moment of madness when the DoFT came through, but it happens to everyone.

Nayuki:

Also should not be on the staff team, they arent around anymore.

Suien:

See above.

Moderators:

Arashi:

For general staff duties, of the entire staff he is the one who comments on virtually anything. Responds quickly to PMd Queries. Reviews character sheets, techniques, pretty much anything you ask of him. Controls the Mizukage and several NPC Jounin, training several teams. He's very active and generally there are no problems, he just gets on with everything that a staff member ought to.

CrimVII:

Demoted; clearly moved on from the NA.

Enishi:

See above.

Gurt:

See above.

Ironwolf:

With general staff duties he gets on with it. Approving a mass of stuff. Sometimes without even reading it; need I remind you of when Zionward was recreaeting/improving the sharingan "Then there is the fact that when I saw Sako's post I went, bah, who needs to read words^^" a comment made after it was pointed out by a couple admin that he was eliminated from approving because he has an Uchiha character. I have never seen any criticism positive/negative when they've posted in a creation sheet. In fact I don't think I've read anything besides "approval no jutsu" which usually comes after another staff member has approved. Makes them appear nice and active though, getting on with staff duties.

Jake:

Is he a mod still?

Kenji-San:

It is widely questioned why this person is a member of the team. They dont contribute to creation threads. As a member they are extremely inactive and yet take held of the Iwa Kage position. They dont show a knowledge of the system (can't currently find link to practice battle where they refer to ancient rulings).

Khaos:

When active he did do his fair share of reviewal. Though more recently (the past month or so) there has been a distinct lack of activity from them in any sense. A long time ago they posted an incativity report hinting there were perhaps some personal issues being revolved, perhaps this is the case. But the NA isnt concerned with real life is it? So with over a month of inactivity, questions arise I guess.

Kitai Tenshi:

Gets on with moderator duties, giving some reviewal and critique on craetion items and character sheets. Nothing wayward has ever been seen from him.

Kouta:

Some probably don't like some of his 'harsh' words when reviewing creation threads. But to be wholly honest, he's only telling the truth. Extremely active, and the most active of everyone when it comes to reviewal/critique. Not only that, its the feedback, the feedback is great no matter how much it sounds like he's calling you an idiot sometimes. And its never 'This doesnt work.. fix it' there is usually a logical and thought out comment in his critique, which only helps people to learn. I know that he controls the Kusa Kage, and several NPCs, which can only be good for who's benefitting. Just one of the few staff who get on with all of their duties well. When PMd he actually gets back to you too.

Mokujin:

I see the odd approval/reviewal here and there, curiously most of these approvals come to the way of other staff members. I see him active a lot in the creation threads; posting his latest creation. As a member? Fantastic. When he reveiws items, its usually great and resourceful information. Although always 'active' in the 'im online sense' is good, actual activity in reviewing character sheets and creation threads should be boosted to a level the likes of Arashi and Kouta (the model staff).

Shikyo:

Recently returned I gather, but since have been sometimes online and sometimes not. Returning for a moment to gag a member without giving them a reason (which should never be optional, a reason should be mandatory). If activity in all senses was boosted then im sure they should stay on the team as they have voiced that they arent happy with partiuclar non-Naruto, to be plain, stuff coming through the system in their absence. Basically they come across as a no nonsense type of person. However, activity lets them down and should be another staff under reviewal because of this.

Tantan:

Duties wise they do actually respond to PMs, sometimes slightly delayed but he gets around to it. So all in all theres actually nothing wrong with this staff member.

Tao:

A similar type of mod to Tantan and thus no qualms about him.

Forum Moderator:

experimental lover:

EL/Ganger, whatever you want to call them.. theres just nothing to say, I didnt even know he held a position until I saw it posted here.

EDIT: So basically, there aren't actually problems with the current 'active' staff. I believe the problem that people have is for one, all of the staff members who aren't just kicked from the team because they have dissapeared. I mean they could just come back and mess everything up if they wish.

[experimental lover]

Not a bad idea--but remove me from the list, please.

[Cho Hakkai]

Admins:

<(^.^<): A good admin. He does a lot for the forum, occionally looking at techniques and skills but mostly updates things most often.

cntrstrk14: Another good example of an admin, also the "owner" of Ninja academy since he pays all of the bills. Ok well he does a pretty decent job and rules a lot with an iron fist so yea, he gets respect. Also, he is quite a good Kage for oto since he normally gives out missions pretty quickly.

Enigma'sDelerium: HAvn't done much since his return. Can't complain.

Fu Xi: Havn't seen him in a while but when he was on, very good at looking at alot of this and even added rules. He also approved my character and I konw that is spam but he was the first nice person to me on NA.

Matthias Drake: An admin that does look at things and sees attempting at the job of working for the boards stroyline. CE well, I don't wanna go there because a lot of things happened that didn't make sense and such but other than that, very good.

Nayuki: I havn't seen this admin on in forever nor have I seen him/her do anything.

Suien: Look at the above.

Moderators:

Arashi: The Swedish meatball, Arashi is a good mod that will look at things when you ask him and also will look at things that people don't ask him to look at. Being a kage and such I wouldn't know since I am in Oto. Keep his post.

CrimVII: Have not seen this person in a REALLY long time. Demote since they aren't doing anything.

Enishi: Havn't seen him on latly, well actually allow me to correct myself. I have seen him on but he hasn't been doing anything. I don't know if he should be demoted because he has a life outside of NA but he did a good job when he was active.

Gurt: He left the forum... Why is he still a mod? (He told me)

Ironwolf: Demote. Sorry IW, but you approved something with many flaws (Unchiha clan) and because of this negligance a lot of things have been approved that shouldn't have.

Jake: No longer a mod.

Kenji-San: Never on, approves little. Dunno about him.

Khaos: Not going to say anything since he is a friend.

Kitai Tenshi: Not going to say anything since he is a friend.

Kouta: A good moderator, looks at things and sometimes be's fair about approving things. He isn't one for overpowering things. Good moderator, should keep his post.

Mokujin: Doesn't do much. Can't complain since he can kill me. *Whisper* he should be demoted since he doesn't do much.

Shikyo: Does some, not a lot but enough to keep his post.

Tantan: I have only seen him do some TST and very minumum approving.

Tao: Pretty good moderator. Approves things on a regular basis. Should keep post.

Forum Moderator:

experimental lover: Not really a mod.

[Guest sasukepwnz]

Admins:

<(^.^<): This admin is definitely the most active. I have been here for awhile and all the time I have been here <(^.^<) has been very active and very helpful to everyone, Keep up the good work.

cntrstrk14: Basically he approves things to help him, not much other stuff, probably the reason hes admins cause he pays. Otherwise I don't know. Possible demote?

Enigma'sDelerium: I have never seen on ever, except the last week and it was in the spam forum. Demote.

Fu Xi: Again barely ever active and does like nothing. Demote.

Matthias Drake: Very good admin and when hes not grounded or during finals week, very helpful, approves thing and is active. Could be more active in Konoha though. (Konoha activity would be better MD )

Nayuki: See post about Fu Xi and ED Demote.

Suien: Read above post. Demote.

Moderators:

Arashi: Probably one of if not the most active mod out there, very fair, ive never seen him flame or spam ever, definitely a candidate for Admin.

CrimVII: Demote, never been active.

Enishi: Demote, never been active.

Gurt: Demote, never been active.

Ironwolf: Approves thing without really looking, and shows favoritism, beyond that not a bad mod.

Jake: Not mod anymore, but was a very good one when he was.

Kenji-San: Demote, never been active.

Khaos: Doesn't really approve much anymore, inactive for mass amounts of time sometimes. Possible Demote.

Kitai Tenshi: Very good mod, keep up the great work Kitai.

Kouta: Again same as arashi very good mod possible candidate for admin. Keep it up kouta

Mokujin: Approves things when he feels like it, semi active but rarely does much, possible Demote.

Shikyo: Active but then inactive for five times longer, Demote.

Tantan: A great mod who does his job correctly, keep up the awesome job Tantan-tude master.

Tao: A very good mod who approves things sometimes without really looking at them but otherwise good job.

[Hardcore Skittlez]

Admins:

<(^.^<):Excellent admin. Did have one minor "screw up" Awhile back, that had some angry new-users, but all went well, and in the end, it helped clear up the boards. Ah yes, he DID help the board out by making the "dead x" Sections(X being, whatever). He looks things over, and approves/denies when you ask him to check something out. He has a good understanding of the systems, and seems to be a really good Kage. If there was a promotion for an admin, I'd say this guy needs it.

cntrstrk14:So/So. Does his job good overall, though, he has a tendency to break his own rules and not explain why.

Enigma'sDelerium:Haven't seen him do much. Appears to be a Nayuki.

Fu Xi:Seemed alright, but left the site. Remove his position.

Matthias Drake: Does decent at getting around to things. He's a slow responder though, and posts maybe once or twice only in a topic if it doesn't concern him. He doesn't check his Pm box enough. I'd say, Possible remove.

Nayuki: Seemed okay, but vanished again. Remove.

Suien: Now this fellow was a good staff member. He seemed to have mysteriously vanished. He served as my Jounin once, and did A good job with it. Remove position until he returns.

Moderators:

Arashi: EXCELLENT. He does his job excellently, is really active, and is a good Kage. I'd say, Promote this guy to Admin.

CrimVII: Not active anymore., Remove position.

Enishi: Seemed to be good, but is too inactive. Remove position.

Gurt: Was good enough, decided to quit, remove his Position.

Ironwolf: Decent, needs to read things more. Possible remove for now.

Jake: No longer a staff member, though was a good one when he was.

Kenji-San: Not active enough, remove.

Khaos:

Kitai Tenshi: Does a pretty good job. He replies, and respondes when he can, fairly quickly. Keep 'er.

Kouta: Exceeelllllent for approving stuff. He is quite hot headed, but always gets the point across. I say, Keep him for sure. Would suggest a promotion, but even in his own words, he is too hot-headed.

Mokujin: Was fairly inactive for awhile, is better now. Does his job profeciently. Keep 'im.

Shikyo: Not active enough. Remove.

Tantan: Does a pretty good job reviewing, and responded. I'd say, He's a keeper.

Tao: Does his job decently. He seems to be a poor Kage though. Possible remove.

**NOTE**

When I say "Keep, or Remove" It's mearly a suggestion, not an arrogant command ^^;

[Ravage Nocturne]

Alright, alright, ONE last time will I go through with this. You complain that we don't look at your thread, but if you are meticulous, you'll notice I've made several..

Admins:

<(^.^<): Alright, good 'ol oujii-sama is the keeper of them all. He's the one that goes through the trouble of approving or dismissing, offering constructive and valuable insight and opportunity and advice, and generally hangs around and does his job. He's careful and polite in most cases, and can't have a complaint really stick to him. If anything, this is the guy that should be head hancho, but even if it were possible, I know he'd deny it, because of his humble nature. Not a single problem with this guy.

cntrstrk14: Humms. We've had our clashes and misunderstandings in the past, but even so, I've got to say that when he DOES something, he sometimes gets it right. There will not be a removing of him no matter what is said, but he certainly becomes troublesome from time to time, with the assuming abuse of his systems and what not (Uchiha eyes for his previously NPC now not character that he made lv. 12 or something just because he could, cough cough.) Less active than the head admin should be, it's dissapointing to not see a figure of leadership in him, and instead seeing it in Shizuki...

Yeah, this one could use some work. More time is needed to run the site, so perhaps he should reconsider trying to make time for doing the little things, as he also runs the site.

Enigma'sDelerium: Er...is he still even an admin? If so, then I'm surprised, seeing as I haven't seen him online in forever, and furthermore, that he did step down from his position. He can be a decent leader (more so than counter, just because he's not as tempermental) but really doesn't do MUCH in power. Modship, methinks, would suit him well, if anything at all.

Fu Xi: He was good stuff, and took care of the idiots...but...Guys...Fu quit.

Matthias Drake: Matt-o can be argumentative, but only for fun, and I love fun. He does work, but could benefit from being more active in the approving/otherwise areas.

Nayuki: Ew. Worthless. Never on, never did anything that important, and sucks with making stuff. Argumentative and bothersome...Case Closed.

Suien: I know Suien works hard, and if he becomes more active, he'll be a gem indeed.

Moderators:

Arashi: Ugh, the grammar and eloquence of his writing his just plain left to be desired for, but he does work. Sometimes I see crap come from him, but other times I see him working hard. Not admin material, but a decent mod

CrimVII: Hmm. Never on, bickers with members and staff alike, and fails to produce anything constructive or useful at all, planning or creation alike. Positively worthless

Enishi: Enishi is a good fellow who does the job when it's needed. However, as is the case with all staff, could be more active.

Gurt: Oh, Gurtles. The best mod I'd seen in a while. If only he'd return, he'd be a god of sorts. When he's serious, he's active, useful, and productive in general. If you can convince him to return, DO IT.

Ironwolf: Hm. I haven't seen much from him, but I've seen some crap, and I've seen decent material. Grammar and writing issues, but seems to try really hard. I guess he's decent as a mod too.

Jake: is a member

Kenji-San: Always made Uchiha characters that never made more than three posts. Bye, bye, non-active/productive empty space!

Khaos: Er...who? No comment, since I don't think I know him/her?

Kitai Tenshi: Humms. I think this is one of the guys who was one of the first Kaguya. I'm pretty sure I remember him doing a good job all around. Seems fine to me.

Kouta: Kouta's good in my book.

Mokujin: Intensely member material. Recently I've heard of some absolute rule-bending material coming from the guy, and being prone to angry comments and undue deletion of posts, this guy could benefit from being a member until he proves more useful. Sorry, Mopoo, but you've got work.

Shikyo: Er...Shikyo...I remember seeing some odd things come from him, but I don't have any complaints.

Tantan: Ah yesh. The mod that is capable of wonderful, wonderful things. Creative and hard working, mature and always attentive. Active in all forums that need approval or dismissing. Friendly, very polite, and willing to lend a hand where needed. ABSOLUTELY admin potential. GET HIM OUT OF MODSHIP AND INTO ADMINSHIP.

Tao: Er..who?

And now, for the "Should be something bu aren't" Category....

MrSako: Guys, he's in med school. He can find time to be active, even in MED SCHOOL, so you other staff members can find time too. Active when possible, intuitive and intelligent, helpful and very wise. Capable of creating or destroying. Very knowledgeable of the rules and systems. Despite earlier events that *I* had inspiried in the 'lad', he is assuredly one of the hidden gems. Absolutely mod-material, IN THE LEAST.

gXb: Guys. So many hate him, but we, the small people that know and love him, understand that he is as hardworking, certainly far more creative than most, and diligent as anyone. In all seriousness, although held in scrutiny, he's actually better material to run the site than Cntr. He knows everything there's to know, and should not be a member. At LEAST Modship, no matter your tastes towards him.

Rei: Didn't see him listed, but I think he's a mod anyways? Despite grammar/writing issues, he's hardworking. Somewhat cold and distant, you can get by that and keep him working fine. Modship, indeed.

Mensmentis: Smartest person on the board, perhaps, and young. VERY spitfire, but if you can tone him down, he's got lots of things up his sleeves. At least modship, despite any dislike of him due to his fiery tongue.

Maelstrom: Guys. He's super active, friendly and intelligent, unique and creative, and STRIVING to help the site. You keep ignoring his honest endeavors, and this is why the site sucks. MAKE HIM AT LEAST ADMIN DAMMIT. He's got enough head on his shoulders to account for the whole lot of you admins.

[Guest Zionward]

My, my. Looks like my birthday came a day early. Most excellent.

Admins:

<(^.^<): A very solid administrator, he does a great deal of work for NA. Most of which includes combing through some truly god-awful creations that would cause lesser folk to bleed from their ears. He's just fine where he is, thank-you-very-much. That said, his habit of not saying anything if it's not helpful is quite annoying. I mean, just look how far saying negative things has gotten me?

cntrstrk14: Heh. Hehe. Hehehe. Hehehehe. Hehehehehe. Outside of being NA's only consistent benefactor, his existence is the stuff of pixie dust, unicorn blood, and perhaps a little duct tape. His rulings are random at best and his grasp of the systems here is quite tentative. If anything, lower him to a moderator and let him hog a less important staff position.

Enigma'sDelerium: He just got back. Only time will tell? Lower him to moderator and give him a fresh trial period.

Fu Xi: He's dead and gone. Enough said. Back to being a member, for him.

Matthias Drake: Hold on. My ribs hurt from that whole, Cnterstrk14 thing. All right, let's continue. I've never seen blatant embellishment of nothing work as a political tactic, but he manages to pull it off. A shame, that he fails to realize that he serves staff, not vice versa. Keep him as administrator, 'cause he's fun to watch.

Nayuki: Glory comes, glory goes, and we are left with nothing but silence. Demote to member, much?

Suien: Inactive, blah blah, needs to come back, blah blah. Back to member for him. Hooray for the invincible ex-staff army!

Moderators:

Arashi: Swedish Fireball, indeed. He's such a flame..r...oh, this isn't a roast? Darn. Anyway, I can say I have very few memories of NA fonder than that one post he made during the Iwa invasion. It was like Engrish, but squared. I don't care for him, but that's not going to keep me from saying he's a decent moderator. A keeper, I s'pose.

CrimVII: See Suien, Nayuki.

Enishi: See Suien, Nayuki, and Crim.

Gurt: See Suien, Nayuki, Crim, Enishi, and Your Mom.

Ironwolf: Well, I haven't seen him particularly active so...See Suien, Nayuki, Crim, Enishi, and Gurt.

Jake: When he's not trying to takeover NA with firearms, he's plotting how to further empower his character. And thus, he neglects his moderator responsibilities. Can I get a 'demote him!' up in here?

Kenji-San: See Suien, Nayuki, Crim, Enishi, Gurt, and Ironwolf.

Khaos: See Suien, Nayuki, Crim, Enishi, Gurt, Ironwolf, and Kenji-San.

Kitai Tenshi: He reminds me very much of tapioca pudding. I'll eat it if there's nothing else, but I'm really looking for something better. This, my friends, (and foes) is what we call 'filler'. Keep him just to have an active staffer.

Kouta: Unadulterated awesome. I don't agree with him all the time, but at least he understands the concept of 'take no prisoners.' Active, involved, and pissing 70% of you off; this is the stuff moderators are made of.

Mokujin: I'd like to offer the proposition of demoting him. But to be perfectly honest, I'd much rather see him perform seppuku. I mean, what else is an angsty Mokujin good for? Certainly not tending to moderator responsibilities, that's what. Toss 'em into the clearance member bin. Or feed him to Matlock, who apparently never gains weight.

Shikyo: See Suien, Nayuki, Crim, Enishi, Gurt, Ironwolf, Kenji-San, and Shikyo. Oh, wait. That last one is supposed to be Khaos; sorry for getting ahead of myself.

Tantan: Nice. Friendly. Now, if only Kouta could teach him to get angry. A shame he's only active when something constructive needs to be done. I'm also going to guess he'd be more open to working, if it weren't for the more useless staff members dragging everyone down. Keep him as moderator and never look back. Really, or else you'll turn into a pillar of salt.

Tao: Doesn't ring a bell. Blasted people changing their usernames.

Bonus Section: Should-Be's

Ravage Nocturne: Should be a moderator. Why? No reason. I think his reputation speaks for him: Hell-Raiser.

Maelstrom: Should be a moderator. He's like an upgraded version of the other, lesser moderators, but with all mom jokes you could ever care for. Oh, and he knows most systems better than our actual staff does.

GangerXBanger: Should be an administrator. I mean, c'mon. This guy is -excellent- at English, speaks terrific Spanish...and has functional logic. No, I can't see him approving creations, but I can see him making kick-arse events.

Rei: Should be a moderator. Because he hates you. Or at least, is bluntly honest. Most excellent at cutting the chaff from the wheat, if you know what I mean. Oh, and you'll note Rei is a 'he'.

Nyna: Should be a moderator. If only, if only, people would pay attention to her. Really. Go look at her stuff. That's moderator material right there.

[Guest Ichi-kun]

Aye, I have not been on that long but I guess im still entitled to my two cents. I dont have any complaints about any admin/mods, they are all nice but the only thing I do have to say is, cut the inactives and give some people adminship and modmenship. At the bottom ill put it my opinions for that.

Admins:

<(^.^<): Found that he is a nice guy, been helpful for the most part that I seen. Ichi's Seal of approval!

cntrstrk14: Also nice guy, which is a plus for me. Plays counter strike which is also good lol, cept I pwned him with my l33t skills.

Enigma'sDelerium: Have not seem him on much

Fu Xi: Never seen him on, maybe get rid of him

Matthias Drake: Helpful admin indeed, pretty helpful as well.

Nayuki: Who?

Suien: See above statement

Moderators:

Arashi: Prolly my fav admin/Mod here, really nice guy and helpful with almost anything. Plus was my Kazekage, so can't speak ill of him.

CrimVII: Umm remove them

Enishi: Look up

Gurt: Look up, twice

Ironwolf: Good at approving stuff, prolly leads the board in approves, well for me anyway. Nice and helpful as well.

Jake: Not a mod anymore apparently?

Kenji-San: Dont know too well so I will not say anything good nor bad.

Khaos: Not on as often as I use to see him, so again I wont say good or bad things.

Kitai Tenshi: Dont know that well, seen him here and there seems nice though lol.

Kouta: Very good mod in my mind, approves stuff and helps out a lot.

Mokujin: Helpful and active, approves a lot of stuff so I like him.

Shikyo: Dont know them

Tantan: Dont know much about him either lol

Tao: Dont know him.

Wow as it turns out, im not that fimilar with that many or at least the not as active ones. Again I have no complants with the current active mods/admins as some have been saying in recent weeks. My suggestion is remove the inactive and replace them with some fresh faces.

Mod to Admin's

I would recomend Arashi for sure.

Kouta, Mokujin, and Ironwolf.

Members to mods:

I think Nappers should get a tryout for sure, he is damn active and has a lot of knowledge for the site.

Rei, who i think once was, should be back as one.

And to follow the sheep, Ravage Nocturne, whom I dont know very well, but I have seen him make some stuff and he is quite good. Zionward makes some kick ass stuff, but he was one to i think? And Sako! Cause he is very helpful to everyone!

[Azure]

Admins:

<(^.^<):Very active and seems to do all that he is asked. Keep.

cntrstrk14:Active alot, and he pays for the site. Most of us could do it, but let's appreciate him. Keep.

Enigma'sDelerium:Once was active and they left and came back for a short period.

Demote to mod and go from there to see what they have to contribute.

Fu Xi:Never seen him. Demote to member.

Matthias Drake:Very active and all around has a good attitude. He has done alot for us and if anything the DoFT proved that he can plan things on short notice (massive riddles Q&A) Keep.

Nayuki:hmm, I've heard some minor stories about her....If she were only still active...Demote to member.

Suien:Not here anymore. Demote.

Moderators:

Arashi:Very active. According to his sigs, he plays alot of roles here, very qucik in replying for questions and approvals. One of my favoite mods. Admin meterial.

CrimVII:Not here anymore, demote.

Enishi:Was here, left, came back for a day or too and hasn't been heard from since. Demote.

Gurt:Same as CrimVII, Demote.

Ironwolf:Oh Iron, he's Very active indeed. He approves things at a tremendous rate, very good. Now , I've seen that sometimes that he can get hurried and apporve it off the bat without reading it beacuse of tursted minds that create it. Even still this may be the time where it looks like he's bad at this, but he'll come back strong, hopefully. Always helpful and my jounin teacher, I can't say bad things at you ^^. Keep to see how he does.

Jake:Good mod when he was one.

Kenji-San:Not active anymore, he was grounded, but that time has passed. Give him another week, then Demote.

Khaos:A good mod while he was here, very helpful in the Introduction section. He hasn't been on for a while though, and left no reason why. Give him alittle more time to come back, if he doesn't demonte, but for now keep.

Kitai Tenshi:If he's who I think he is, then he is a decent mod, he's becoming more active so, Keep.

Kouta:Very active and helpful, one of my favorite mods even if he gives the cold hard truth. He nay get angrey but don't we all? Admin meterial!

Mokujin:Moku, I like his style but away from that, he's getting around a hard time in his life and getting back to approvals. Keep.

Shikyo:A decent mod, I haven't seen that much from him, but I've been here for only a few months...Keep.

Tantan:Haven't seen much from him, but from what I gather he's good and If he can be the Tsuchikage, he must be good. Keep.

Tao:He had a name change, but I think I still know who it is. He's active and approves things so, Keep.

Possible Mods

Mr. Sako- He's done ALOT for this site. If he becomes a mod then will we have a problem with Naru? I can see that it can't be the only reason. Well, he's once of the most active members. I heard he had a 'spree' of sorts (that I won't mention) but 'briges once burnt can be rebuilt' (metaphore goes to kirby man and sako) Always helping with questions and giving suggestions, creating indepth items and quests, training, missions AND somehow finds a way to be in med school. Very Impressive, wise one.

Maelstorm-I may not know him that good but he knows alot of the systems and rules on the site. Very active and could do alot for us.

Zionward-Extreamly samrt. He has created many systems for us and I understand that he was once an admin! Surely he can be a mod if he wishes.

Nappers: Even though he has been here for only a short time, he's active and is very in depth on matters and works hard.

[EDIT] Thanks EL, his name got tucked underneath some text and I guess i just read over it...

Azure, you left no comments on 'Khaos.'

[Matthias Drake]

This is what I saw that there wasn't quite a consensus on.

Mokujin - Demote? Cho and the Brothers Grimm think he should be.

Tanthiel - Promote?

Arashi - Promote?

Tao - Demote?

Ironwolf - Demote?

Kenji-san - Demote?

Kouta - Promote?

Demoted the ones which had a consensus for it - ED, Nayuki, Suien, etc.

Couple of sidenotes:

Mael - We decided to promote him a long time ago >_> But it doesn't happen until after 'the event horizon', if you'll forgive the turn of phrase. Yes, he's going to be staff. He should already have been, but you know how it is - Delays, delays, delays.

Rei - He stepped down. To my knowledge the position is still open to him. He would be modded at the same time as Mael if he wanted his position back.

Ganger and Sako don't want to be staff. I think. Ganger might.

[Maelstrom]

My final ruling for those stated above.

Mokujin - Keep as a Mod.

Tanthiel - Keep as a Mod.

Arashi - Keep as a Mod.

Tao - Keep as Mod, but on a one month trial period, meaning that if he doesn't become a bit more active and what not, he'll be demoted at the end of that time.

Ironwolf - Demote.

Kenji-san - Demote.

Kouta - Keep as Mod.

I'd like to limit the amount of Admins to just MD, Frank, and Counter.

Oh, and if Ganger ever agrees to it, -he- should be the only other person promoted to Admin.

[experimental lover]

Should I ever be made into an Admin, I will do the same thing as when Grey promoted me.

Those of you who were there should know what happened.

(HINT HINT HINT: nothing )

Actually, I'd probably just continue some wanderers (woohoo, Summer is almost here and I will be making mass productions of them =D) and probably some events. Should they choose to make me an Admin, that would be first in my agenda since most people here just want something to do at this moment. Then again, I know most the staff well enough to know that I won't be a Modmin anytime soon. Those spiteful little babies

And no prob, Azure! =)

[Matthias Drake]

The reason you have your 'special group' is so that you can do those RP things without anyone letting you have actual power >_> Not to burst your bubble.

I just remembered I forgot to put Shikyo on that list. He was also fairly ambiguous. Demote?

[Nappers]

Mokujin - Mod.

Tanthiel - Promote (in light of Shizu's becoming less active.. this is now more important)

Arashi - Mod.

Tao - Mod.

Ironwolf - Demote no jutsu.

Kenji-san - Demote.

Kouta - Mod.

And:

Shikyo - Demote.

Edited June 3, 2006 by Nappers

[Maelstrom]

Give him a one month trial period. If he doesn't become more active, outside of just the lotto, then he'll be demoted. I'll keep an eye out and in one month or less, I will post my opinion about those whom I will be watching.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

As if I didn't know that...? I am the one who made you make it like that.

In reality, most people who are on staff (or were, as I look at the list now) are exactly what I said: quite spiteful. If I was given power, they think I would go and demote them and revise it to my way. Come on, am I honestly that kind of person?

Yes, and thank God you are...it may keep things going a bit more smoothly ; )

[Arashi]

Please, start a new topic if you wants to discuss that type of things. I think I was clear on the first post about this topics rules.
