Concerning the Number of Creation Mods

Age : 33 Posts : 254

I was just checking how much stuff is floating around the creation section and I was wondering, shouldn't there be more than four Creation Mods? Not taking into account anybody's particular anything, it just seems like a lot of work for four people. If you're happy with having four that's none of my business, although it still seems like a lot of work. If any creation mods have a different or same opinion on this, please share it, my only concern is the stress you might be under.

I think the topic you're looking for is here.

Throughout the US history Staff numbers have fluctuated greatly, five to six Admin's even ran US at one point. However numbers alone don't guarantee a smaller workload for the entire team, instead it's arguably activity that holds that factor. We currently have four dedicated, active and hard working Staff members who, from what I've seen, are more than capable of handling the current workload being presented to them. We try to ensure that the Staff are working under a happy and stressless environment, so if ever work becomes too much, then members of Staff from the Evaluation Team and the Administrator's will come in to try and lesson the workload. Fortunately this doesn't happen too often.

I'm aware they are highly capable, I understand they're all reliable as a team and individually and I respect them for doing it. That's the reason I made this topic to hear their opinions on the workload. Real life is always getting in the way of things which is why having more is often a good thing, more people means varying times of activity throughout the day. It also means staff members have other people they can rely on to do work, while they're busy or resting, or just having fun. While staff members from other sections might step in assuming the work load became too much, a couple more reliable and active creation mods could just keeps things simple.

That's just my opinion, I haven't been back here for a while though, so the way it all works still feels fairly new to me. Still, I'd like it if you considered my opinion and if the creation mods gave their own here. Whether it's to reassure they're happy with four, or just to post whatever comes to mind on the subject.

Five Creation Moderators would make the Staff Sidebar look like shit, think of the sidebar Trent.

MsMoney happy. MsMoney work. MsMoney don't say anything. Admins good bosses, let MsMoney eat once a day. MsMoney have a vacation once a year. Very happy.

But on a side note, things are just fine and dandy. Razz

Sure it can get clustered once in a while but it's always something fixable. The four people team is a good one.

My personal activity has bumped down quite a bit in the last few days, thanks to a new job that I'm still getting accustomed to and is quite time requiring at the moment. Soon, however, I'll adapt to it and be able to spare more and more time to employ into activity.

As such, as having in mind what has already been said in this topic, I think that the four of us alone can handle it just fine, even if some of us (me included) should bump up our activities a bit more.

I'm happy to hear back from you both so quickly, thank you both for sharing your feelings on this matter. If Aaron and Satan are also willing to share their opinions here then I'd like to hear from them too, just to see if anything's on their minds.

Hm, well. I personally think that the creation mods hare not getting snowed under if that is what you are 'worried' about. We have enough work to make me ~~relatively~~ happy and it is only recently that we are getting a few more characters to approve (is that just me or do the others think that as well?) Even then people will often leave midway through this which is annoying. So no, I do not think we need more staff and as Adam said, the sidebar would be messed up.

Don't worry we can take what ever is given to us.

Admittedly, my activity has fluctuated a lot recently and I may have neglected my moderating duties partly. However, I feel like the four of us are able to handle the influx of applications and if not, the evaluation mods and admins are always on hand to help. That's just my opinion, but I'm aware you wanted it. Thanks.

This topic appears to be solved then, thank you all for sharing how you feel here, for me and anybody else that might be concerned.
