Good job Torillian. Hopefully this will help you land new friends.

Be careful people. If nordlead finds out that you bought from Amazon without going through the VGChartz store, he'll ban you.

Congratulations gentlemen. You will need such weapons to combat the likes of me.



I don't need your console war.

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Well, congrats.

I would except that when I am at work I turn off sigs in the forums because it slows down my work PC.

 

As for everything else, yes that is most likely how it works. To be honest the whole "past moderations" thing is the first time I have heard it being used as criteria.

For example when I use to frequent a different gaming site dedicated to consoles, handhelds and homebrew applications I was onced warned for linking to ROMS that someone needed, not knowing it was not allowed. I was warned and told if it happened again I was to be banned.

To make a long story short I was bored and decided to make a thread, I worked so hard on it and updated it weekly. It had all homebrew released for the PSP, emulator, apps, etc... my thread grew fast to the point where it had around 200-300+ programs on it. Eventually majority were added to a new section of the site, a Download section.

I was then asked to join the moderation staff, regardless of the fact that I had a prior moderation.

 

So I would say yes, it has much more to do with your contributions to the site and not just whether or not you follow the rules.

 

 

There are exception to the no moderations standard, but I didn't feel like typing them out. Mostly because there is no standard for the exceptions. Just whatever I decide. Sig length would probably count as an exception as long as you only got one warning for it. That said, my hiring methods are of course going to be different than those of other sites.

As far as my personal standards go for highering moderators, yes, they are complicated and detailed and I don't feel like typing them out. Nor do I want to tell everyone some "sure" way to becoming a moderator on the site.

I will say that making contributions to the site is certainly a big plus, and contributors and database administrators are therefor more likely to get the positions. This does not mean it's the only way to become a moderator though. Regular users often also make large contributions to the site by doing things such as maintaining important threads, organizing leagues, and yes, even just posting frequently and reasonably on the forums. Helping maintain the community is also an important part of contributing to the site.

Remember, I'm the Community Manager. So I'm here to take care of the community. You guys are what's important to me on the site. The other administrators keep track of sales, website and server updates, game database, press contacts, etc, but what I take care of is you. So to put it simply, what becoming a mod is about for me is people who really contribute both to the site, and especially to the community here at VGChartz.

I honestly wasn't expecting the response to come from you but I am actually glad you did.

I know you have your own standards, I was just giving an example of how it worked at another site I staffed for. I did some Admin work for another site, only because the rest of them for some odd reason didn't know their way around VBulletin, go figure right? It was only temporary though to help them get on their feet and teach them the ins and outs of the system. I am not sure you guys are running on VBulletin, this site looks like more of a custom job, but that is a whole different conversation.

I agree with your two hires by the way, both not just great contributors, but great community members as well. I just want you to not think I was trying to knock you or anything, but I am sure you realized that.

No need to explain yourself though. You do what you do and you do it very well.

Looking forward to whatever new changes this site brings, like VGChartz 2.0.
