Suggestion: More Mod Activity?

Posted 5 years, 10 months ago by _featherweather

Or at least please have our current mods be more active in forums. Because the forums are currently a hot mess and it sometimes make it painful to go on.

- there's no official changelog that shows what various updates to the site has done (i.e., notify subscribers of an updated profile and why) - users find out by chance or checking a user run update thread.

- there is little to no moderation on the forums and between users in disputes. And when there are, it's often times hella inconsistent if a user is banned permanently vs forum banned vs suspended temporarily. Grievances re: this is laid out p blankly in the "ok admin" thread 

- I propose either mods become more active in the community  (ask the staff days, or weekly posts about updates to/plans for Toyhou.se would be great so people know the site isn't forgotten, like it felt when everyone was working on that new avatar site) or they have mod volunteers who can assist and appropriately escalate issues that pop up on the site. Even if they're not paid, there's plenty of us who want to help and enjoy the TH community that would be willing to volunteer, and then maybe you can have mods based on region or time so that way there's someone available most of the day if issues crop up.

Idk. I just want to enjoy the site again without worrying that that the mods will go AWOL for another extended period and users are set adrift with no help.

the mod accounts have small crowns next to their usernames & have their names highlighted in yellow, plus when you hover over their accounts it says "Toyhouse Staff"; as of rn users with crowns are the admin account itself (admin), jaywalk, cy, and minsu. i'm not sure if lulu is still staff or not, considering her account has none of these, but i don't know the internal mod structure so i can't explain.

afaik minsu handles most help tickets; cy or jaywalk are potentially the site coder? i'm not really sure; again, this is stuff i've gleaned from glancing around. minsu sometimes posts in the suggestions forums, you might've seen them. 

Example, with minsu's account: (sorry it's so dark, i use a screenshader haha)1IPnNEyCQCBwqalpqVUtMjHZF4KoEBoRjFKqf8Pi

@citriina well damn I didn't know that thank you Nonstop! They answered way better than I could 

Lulu was or used to be a coder for the site.  I think coders have ♡ next to their names

I definitely agree with these suggestions! 

I understand that the admins don't want to ping everyone for every minor update, but maintaining an official changelog somewhere would be great, would lessen the mystery, and would let people know that the site is actively updated. 

It would also make sense for there to be a list of current moderators/admins somewhere on the About page!
