Okay, I suppose it's time to address this thread:
No, ssj12 isn't a mod at the moment. Why isn't really something I want to discuss publicly right now. He is still a valued member of our contributor staff and one of our main PR representatives for VGChartz.
Yes, I'm aware of Onyxmeth's 1 previous ban (and how bad it was), and we had a talk about it. I'm not looking for perfection. Such a thing doesn't exist. I myself have made plenty of mistakes. For me it's more important for someone to realize they made a mistake and to change their behavior because of it.
Onyxmeth was primarily chosen as a mod because the 360 forums need cleaning, and he spends the vast majority of his time there. Very few people even report posts on the 360 forums for some reason, and it leads to a lot of rule violations going unpunished. A moderator who's active and usually browsing those forums should help keep them in line.
Makingmusic was chosen as a generally good poster and active user. He should help keep the mod jobs down which build up on occasion, and will continue to contribute to keeping the Sony and Nintendo forums clean, where he spends the majority of his time.
Yes, I am "head moderator." My technical title is Community Manager, and the moderating staff is the decision of myself, DKII (as Site Manager), and ioi (as Site Owner). I believe both Onyxmeth and makingmusic476 will be a good addition to the moderating staff.
They, like all other mods, will be expected to use their moderating powers only in the upkeep of the site, and post respectfully when they are acting as posters. Of course, if you have a problem with them or any moderator feel free to email mods@vgchartz.com or message me on the site. If you have any private comments you'd like to submit to me please message me as well.
As Community Manager I try to ensure you the user are protected by a fair and reasonable moderating staff, and have an enjoyable experience here on VGChartz. Thanks for the feedback and please continue welcoming our new moderators.
