The recent moderator/ website discussions started by ioi have made me wonder about who the mods are on this site, more specifically, where they come from.
Here is the analysis:
From USA - 65% (11), one from Canada, one from Australia, two from UK, one from Japan and one from um, err,Uzbekistan?
Here the breakdown;
| bod | USA |
| shams | Australia |
| rocketpig | Uzbekistan |
| ben | USA |
| source | USA |
| twesterm | USA |
| stof | Canada |
| ssj12 | USA |
| TalonMan | USA |
| FishyJoe | USA |
| Naz | USA |
| ioi | UK |
| Roadkiller | UK |
| Y-koron | Japan |
| Montana | USA |
| MrStick | USA |
| DKII | USA |
So, considering the international reach of this site (only 27% of members are from the US), how come there is literally no mod from outside the US, let alone someone whose mothertongue is not English?
Im looking at Europe - two. Asia - one (two if you include Uzbekistan). Australia - one. Is this really guaranteeing good mod coverage of the forums 24/7 if literally all mods live in the same time zones?
Spanish speaker - none. French speaker - none. Is this really a good representation of the global vgchartz community?
Discuss.
EDIT: Edited ioi being from UK. Thanks for the hints.
