Talk to the Star Wars Moderators and Regulators

[LEGOman273]

Where are our Star Wars Staff members? I haven't seen Stash in about forever, and KDM hasn't made a (public) post since March 16^th. The 2012 Rumors topic is frequently off-topic with posts that should be in Future Star Wars sets and there are promised Community Build tags and Fan Theme tags that other members are waiting for.

I know we're all busy and can't always be online, but I'd hate to see this forum descend into un-moderated chaos.

Siegfried seems to have taken over Moding the SW forum.

Mods: If you need an apprentice to fill the third spot, I'd be glad to do it. I'm on here every day, usually multiple times, so I could handle it. I've been practicing, too:

"Stay on Target!"

And this is from someone who i) had 'annoying' as a name tag until very recently ii) seems to make a lot of very consise posts that really don't say a great deal and iii) aren't often related to the topic...

Back on topic & being a little more serious, do you have to meet certain criteria before you can become a moderator, or do you wait to be 'invited'?

I'm sure there is criteria that has to be met such as daily activity, years on the site, maturity, etc. Also, I believe asking to be a mod, especially publicly, is a good way to never be asked to become a mod. Just my guess though.

So far I've noticed no chaos; infact, the 2012 thread was cleaned by our newest mod quite nicely using fear.

Yes, but he should be well aware of the fact that the ability to clean threads is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

I agree that there is no real chaos yet, although some threads from time to time seem to be pretty close it.

But, as I'd put it, I clearly feel the absence of moderators. I felt more comfortable when I had the feeling that KimT was around.

Except that that's not his primary duty on EB, and he can't work as well on the technical side of the site if he has to constantly be modding the SW forum.

Indeed. I was (if this statement was in direct response to mine) saying that I don't want the forum to descend into chaos, not that there was that much chaos present already.

Does Stash moderate sneakily, as I don't think I've ever seen him on this forum since I joined .

I believe Stash is the manager of a LEGO Brand Retail Store, so I don't blame him for not being as active as I think a mod should be.

That was my point. I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear.

I would second that. Though I still think, for the time being, that the current mods are doing a good job.

READ HERE, please.

Thank you.

Where are our Mods? (Nothing against you, Fangy. )

You may want to carefully consider how much you actually want our attention before asking for it. Very carefully.

Is it just me, or is the forum skin kinda broken? It looks fine when I open a thread, but in the main forum, the black pattern of the background is gone, and it's dark blue where it should have a gray gradient, and part of the banner is missing too.

I'll let the janitor know. We are already aware, thanks for pointing this particular instance out though.

[Oky]

It seems to work again now, thanks!

Not a Star Wars question but how many posts do I need to reach the rank of citizen?

One hundred. You can read about ranks here.

As some of you know, I've been working on a total restructuring of the MOC Index in the last couple weeks. The MOC Index is going to be unavailable for a little while, hopefully no longer than an hour, as I rearrange and update the posts.

[Brickdoctor]

Update: ...and done! The new index is sorted according to both MOC type and appearance of the model within the saga, with a table of contents in the first post linking to the various categories throughout the index, so, hopefully, it'll be even easier to find MOCs in this forum.

I tested it out (by searching for my 17th CES MOCs); it looks great. Much easier to navigate. Well done Brickdoctor.

[Kim Thomsen]

Amazing work Brickdoctor - you sure cleaned it up

[Erdbeereis]

Great job Brickdoctor. It looks really nice now.

[purpleparadox]

Thanks Brickdoctor! It looks really great now. Hope ya know how much EB appreciates all of your work!

I can only imagine how much effort it has taken you to get everything reorganized in there, but it really paid off! Just spent some time browsing the MOC index, and it has become much easier to navigate. Great job Brickdoctor, your efforts are greatly appreciated!
