It is not really possible to add these at the moment.

Moderators

There are no plans to appoint additional Mods. 

Why was this mod idea dismissed so quickly?

I've been looking through the post history of the mods and the first 2 names I chose have made around 45 total posts in 3 months.

Moderators should be very active IMO. With the post stats I'm seeing most of the mods are borderline just lurking members.

Ask a few mods to step down and add in the likes of Camel and Alex imo.

Thank you Mr Costa.

It was not dismissed quickly, I gave it considerable thought before replying.   

Firstly, the Moderators role as such is very limited these days - the place largely self-moderates.                             

Is it really the jobs of the Mods to help generate extra traffic, though? I make that point for two reasons, mainly.

1)  They are all unpaid volunteers. Not sure we have the right to ask more of them. They get plenty of stick from one or two, & I don't think they deserve that. Sacking volunteers (that's what it is, in effect) is not something that should be considered lightly.

2) It's a community these days, rather than a Business, & I hold the view that it's the job of all Members of the Community to help keep the place lively & fresh, rather than just the Mods.


Would I like to see them all contributing more? Yes, of course I would, but that could be said of anyone.

Our mind is open on this, but that's the current thinking.

We can see the stats, yep.

[More Stats]

It's the More Stats bit in square brackets.

So you can see the daily stats, yes? They are under this....


Forum History (using forum time offset)

Yes.  307 yesterday.

Good - that's what I hoped, that everyone could see them.

How do mods get appointed and when was the last one added?

Might be a good idea

They used to be added by concensus, & general suitability, iirc.

I don't recall when we last added one - it would be some years ago I believe.

Was about 5 years ago, tikay and tighty must have been on the crack pipe one night and added andrewt, CF and myself.

Why not just create a subgroup of members - "Retired Mods" or something like that, they keep their access but people who join don't expect them to be mods.

IS there a list of Mods anywhere btw? I tried going through the memberlist but as a bog standard member I don't have access.

[TightEnd]

admin (red, can mod)

tikay
myself
ironside
kinboshi

mods (blue, can't admin)

tom
celtic
andrew
sheriff
cf

i couldn't get a list easily from the members list either

I appreciate that, for the most part, that questions about the Mods are well intended, but that - IMO - is going down the wrong road.

The problems affecting this, and other forums, have been well documented in this thread, and revolve around user behaviour, changing trends in social media, and new technology (mobile etc) which are not favourable to forum use. Moderators have no ability to impact on those matters.

Has anyone thought about a blonde app that could be developed to make it easier to post from a mobile device?

Not that I am aware, no.

Personally, I don't really know much at all about how Apps work, to be honest. I do know that for businesses to get them approved by Apple is a bit of a rigmarole.

App development can be relatively cheap nowadays especially if you use sites like;

https://www.elance.com/

https://www.freelancer.co.uk/

They do all the apple rigmarole stuff for you too.

Thanks - will have a proper look at that on Monday.

Instead of building an app - just get Blonde added to Tapatalk.

September WILL (should) hit 10,000 post's. As Tikay alludes to there has been a lot more "seeding" this month but in general if we can keep at 10,000 or in the region of a month I think that is a great number for the forum. At 300 posts a day the place works at 100 its a bit meh!
