Title: Plot twist: Members of the Month and S.I.T.
Post by: Vaatix on February 01, 2008, 12:59:53 AM
  Alright. We've noticed, first of all, that the Member of the Month program is going absolutely no where. Therefore, we have decided to get rid of it and replace it with something I'm sure everyone will like.
Starting today, the "S.I.T." or Site Improvement Team will be taking the place. These users will represent the forums normal userbase as a whole and will help in making administrative decisions. It's been described as a sort of congress or council. The team of 9 members will run on their own policies, rendering decisions and submitting suggestions to the administration directly. The chairman of the Team will sit in on the staff meetings, and will even have a vote in decisions that require such. They will bring everything the SIT has decided to submit to the meetings.
After the initial round and designing, the staff will not have a say in what the SIT decides on. We will not be able to influence decisions or policies, we will not be able to pick and choose the next candidates, and we will not be able to kick anyone out of the current SIT. SIT is obviously not the most creative name, so they will be able to change it and just about everything else about the group.
Now down to some of the more important business: What they'll actually be able to do. We've been working for several months on ironing out exactly what the SIT will be allowed to do, and have come to the conclusion that they can submit any suggestion, from board creations to staff promotions. (For certain reasons, staff demotions will obviously remain in the staff's choice, but the SIT Chairman will have a vote). This doesn't mean anything they decide will be instantly put into effect - The staff actually votes and makes the final decision. For fairness reasons, things like avatars and smileys can be put straight into effect. They can pick and choose different images to be added and they'll be added no questions asked.
Anything can be changed about the SIT save the amount of people being part of it and the duration, which is 5 months.

Now down to the fun part. The current SIT team, any of which can opt out of this responsiblity at any point in time. None of these people were informed, we wanted to keep this project under wraps until we worked out all the major issues.
Bluaki
Ninnin6
Mackormoses
Zovistograt
TheKoopaBros.
Genius
Friendly_Hostile
Kazooie-Banjo Don't ask me how
Talim2004
We trust these nine users will not abuse the power they've been invested with. They'll be representing you for the next 5 months.

SIT, you'll be informed of any other details you need to know soon enough. If you want any specifics, ask in your board.

[tl;dr]
Members of the month is gone, Site Improvement team takes place, all normal users hail Bluaki, Ninnin6, Mack, Zovi, TKB, Genius, F_H, Kaz, and Talim.

Well it sounds like a good idea. It should be interesting to see how this works out.


Also, congrats people.

5 months?

there is a 100% chance that power abuse is coming.

i cant believe this. :|

ans also, i have no idea HOW some of these people made it. i think because they're "friends" with the staff.

god, because vaatix hates me, i'll never get anything. this is favoritist.

congrats to all who are in, but I'd like to add my two cents.

5 months is a really long time, especially considering the imminent return of real Nsider.  the committe, nevermind this site, will likely not last that long.

they should also have the power to kick members that are inactive and that aren't contributing anything to the comittee.

5 months is far too long, but as long as they don't have the power to ban users, it's fine by my part.

I hope you are not against Genius. I want to point out why Hostile, Banjo, and he are LIKELY in. Without blatantly realistic people, the more popular people *Bluaki for instance* would be kept in check, although, obviously it should not be a problem. Believe it or not, he DOES contribute, and like his name suggests, is rather intelligent :)

So, if you have any respect for me, I ask that you at least give him a chance.
Title: Re: Plot twist: Members of the Month and S.I.T.
Post by: Friendly Hostile on February 01, 2008, 09:05:43 AM
Well this is quite the twist.  Didn't expect to see it happen.

As for those of you already screaming "OMG POWER ABUSE,"  we don't have any actual power if I understand this properly.  We are allowed to suggest and tell the staff how things should be done.   We can't actually implement anything.  We can't carry out any actual moderation abilities either.  So I don't understand where your argument lies for power abuse.

Hopefully though, we can finally get some poop done around here.

I think it should be 2 months at the most, especially since you are giving people this much power.

bluaki gets MoM, then SIT, i think people obsess too much over her. No offense to bluaki of course... i just hope genius behaves...a little...better than he did that one time, with the moron and etc.

i completely trust mack with the job, though. he should even be MOD :)

i'm not just saying that.

also, i say 2 months max for the job. 5 months is longer than eternity considering i predict NSider to be back by May, (although i will most likely stay here).

and the second i see SITS having ban powers, something must be done.

Wait, Bluaki got me? WTH?

If you are saying MoM as in Member of the Month, and not as Mackormoses, I dont see how that is relevant. I mean, I am a Local of two boards, MotM (ex), and now SIT. Genius was MotM. So was TKB. Etc.  So, I hope that makes you feel a tad better about that :P

As for time wise, I was a little confused on that...

Anyway, it looks like members were picked partially on the basis of being active in the chatroom, since that's where we make most of our suggestions to the administration.

Because despite how boring she is, she's one of the least idiotic members here. She's also rather good at the silly little technicalities of web design, particularly the CSS language, so she'd be the best in making suggestions related to that field.

you guys keep pushing mackormoses closer and closer to mod, why don't you just do it already? :P



members of the SIT should NOT have ban powers.  they do not run this site, they're merely members.  The admins & mods should have ban powers, because they make the major decisions, and that's why they have ban powers.  but I can forsee people being banned just because "so and so doesn't like them" with this system.

they should have a vote on it, be able to propose being able to ban someone to a mod or admin, but they should definitely not have the banhammer.

Popularity contest.

On all forums there's a popular crowd and then there's everyone else. I'm not saying that these guys will do a poopty job, but they definitely wouldn't get in without popularity.

If I were to choose these members, I'd try not to add so much popular members. I'd lurk around and find intelligent users who don't get very noticed.

(And for those who are wondering, no, I don't give a sit if I become one. I'm going to get banned sooner or later.)

If this was a popularity contest, then how did I become a MotM? I was hardly noticed for anything I did around here (what did I do again...?), and then "BOOM!" - I was a Member of the Month. If you apply a bit of hard work, almost anything is possible.

No, but you would be less annoyed by it.

Any program like this has to be a popularity contest on a site like this anyway.  Obviously, the more popular people are the people who are more inclined to be chosen for something based on the things people do.

god, because vaatix hates me, i'll never get anything. this is favoritist.

I hope you are not against Genius. I want to point out why Hostile, Banjo, and he are LIKELY in. Without blatantly realistic people, the more popular people *Bluaki for instance* would be kept in check, although, obviously it should not be a problem. Believe it or not, he DOES contribute, and like his name suggests, is rather intelligent :)

So, if you have any respect for me, I ask that you at least give him a chance.

I doubt Bluaki would abuse her power.  I put more trust into Zovi, you (you didn't lose the first LK, now you do two boards, so you would have abused your power by now if you were going to) and TKB than the others.

C'ngrats, guys. Good job.

Although, I will agree that five months does seem a little bit long. Not quite as exciting as seeing the new MotM on the 1st each time. Eh, hopefully it'll help. It would seem that the popular members definitely have a much higher chance, but the more popular you are, the much higher chance you have of being recognized, or so I've seen... But, uh, don't listen to the most ignored by about three pancakes/me. I'm not liable to know. >_>

There's no problem with the time limit, in my opinion. Shortening it would only mean that the staff has to settle for people that might not be so suiting for the position just because there isn't that much to choose from.

As it's been already stated elsewhere, a longer amount of time makes it easier to get poop done.  Some things cannot be done in a month.  A constant changing of those in the position causes confusion and slows the process down immensely.

But oh wait, we must cater to your every whim to make sure you're happy.  God forbid we actually try and improve this place.

Post by: Genius on February 03, 2008, 08:43:36 PM
Yeah, I don't see how five months is too long.  Face it, the only reason you want it lowered is so you have a chance. 

Personally, and I'm not saying this just because I'm in the position now, I think it should be permanent.  Not entirely permanent.  The group should be chosen as it has been, and if someone better comes along, the weak link of the current group is removed in favor of that person.

Making it necessary to shuffle the people around every so often doesn't make sense to me.  One group may not work as well as the one before it did.  By the time one group is removed, they're likely just getting used to working together at that stuff.  I can't really see the point to removing them on any regular basis.

and there, the reason of lowering the time limit being bad is actually shown. Lowering the time limit makes the members who have to be picked be ones that won't be as good. For something like this, it's best to have the best people working on it rather than cycles with worse people added in. Like for Members of the Month, there were specific choices (or was a specific choice) that I won't name who seem to have been picked only because everybody else who seemed to truly deserve the rank was picked already.

Except that a fixed amount of SIT members isn't necessary. On one hand, people who have the rank can be voted off because of not doing what they should or they can quit. On the other, newer members who prove themselves extremely worthy can be added.

Yes, quite true.  There's no reason it has to stay at the current number, really.  It wouldn't be a good idea to let it get out of hand, but adding a few without removing isn't a problem.  If everyone currently involved is doing their part just fine, there's no reason to remove them.  However, if someone proves to be counter-productive to the advancement of the group and forum as a whole, they should be removed.

Really, above all, what matters is keeping the group in whatever shape makes it perform best.  A lot of factors play into that.  Each individual member needs to work together well with the others.  That's not something we need to worry about yet, though.  I think everyone currently involved should be fine.

I know it, you all know it. 5 months is far too long because at least half of you (well, half of the site, more likely much more than that) won't be around here in that amount of time.

there is no worry.  but if it lasts 5 months, this supposed "work" that you're doing (which I don't see happening now, even though Genius claims that it'll be cut short if the time is anything less than 5 months) will give you a sense that you have all the time in the world to do it with.

also, there will be a few people who leave the forums within 5 months.

a shorter work period gets things done faster.


I just don't see why it has to be 5 months.  not like it takes that long for a group of individuals to decide on what's wrong with the site.  that can be done in an afternoon that you all have off.  it doesn't take nearly that long, and more viewpoints on the website means different things will be found that need improvement.



Edit:  not to mention that giving users special ranks like this only continues the Nsider tradition of giving special ranks to "those who deserve it", instilling a social hierachy and making certain users jealous.

And again, like most others arguing this point, you only say this for your own personal advancement.  You're thinking of yourself before the forum.  The point of the S.I.T. is to improve the forum.  Trying to change the system to make everyone feel included doesn't work out here. 

What if everyone is contributing just fine?  No reason to force someone out if they're doing just fine as they are, wouldn't you agree?

And just what makes you so sure of that?  Maybe you're not planning to be here in five months, since you've somehow managed to predict the end of this place coming very soon, but I think plenty of others will stick around.  Your entire argument is riding on the belief that Nsider will make some kind of triumphant return, and everyone will go back there.

Stop living in a dream.  Nsider isn't coming back.  If something does replace it, I assure you, it won't be what you're thinking.

No.  It gives the people the time they need to work out whatever issues may come to mind.  If people get lazy, they'd likely be removed.

Why shouldn't it be five months?  The only possible reason I could see anyone wanting it shortened is because they want a chance at it.  In that case, it's just selfish, and such people wouldn't get the position anyway.

As I said, if the group is working fine, why change it?  The S.I.T. will be speaking for the general will of the people.  It's not just the people in there that will be making decisions based on their own personal preferences.  They're simply speaking for the community as a whole.

There's a huge problem with what you just said. 

You can't see what the S.I.T. does.  You see the final product that comes from it, maybe.  However, while you're whining about how you haven't seen the group do anything, you totally fail to realize that we're already getting started on things.  You don't see the process. 

That being the case, the general userbase can't rightfully judge the S.I.T.  It would end up with people voting for or against people simply on their personal feelings towards them; not how well they fit into the group.

Unlike the Nsider mods, I do believe that we have a pretty good handle on who is intelligent and/or capable enough to bear the rank. Social hierarchy? It always exists, regardless of whether you have special ranks or not. Some users are undoubtedly always going to be more popular than others. Better to have intelligent people filling the positions than people who have gotten in simply because they've got a lot of friends in high places.

What makes you so sure that Nsider won't be back?  even if it does, assuming it's still nintendo-run, me & quite a few others won't even be there.

I don't even want to be part of the SIT, I'm just thinking that we need a change-up every once in a while.  I'd make a horrible member, because I'd never get anything done.


Give a classroom a semester to do a project that takes a week long and most of them will leave it until the week before it's due.  give them a week to do it and they'll hop to it much faster.  less time means things get done faster.  not saying that if something is unfinished the people should be thrown off of it before it's done, but if there's less time for people to do things, they WILL get done faster than if you let them just sit around and tell them what needs to be done.  If people get lazy, they'll be removed.  right.  which makes sense to have a vote amongst yourselves to determine if there is anyone else that deserves it more than Member X.

if you want to stop "living in the past" because "nsider isn't coming back", change the forum from an Nsider forum to a gaming forum.  this place has nothing to do with Nsider but the name & the people who visit it.  we have absolutely no connections, nothing that ties us to that place.  However, without the connection, this place becomes a generic gaming forum, and people leave back to where they were before this place came along.  it's a lose-lose situation.


finally, maybe you should get someone to update us on the progress being made, so the rest of the site can be on your ass if something is moving along slowly.


I'm curious though.  what've you guys done so far (not meant to be a snark remark)?

We are planning change in the amount of boards and what boards should remain, trying to gain the ability to see who votes what in polls in boards that relate to our position (the SIT board, announcements, forum help, and suggestions, likely), choosing broad categories that can be improved, and, although nobody has voted yet, choosing a chairman.

cool.  would it be easier to set up a vote in power on (considering how that's the most traveled board with the exception of smash bros) for people to vote on which boards should stay and which should go?  I personally don't see the point of most of the gaming boards, and I'd say that most of them should be bunched together under general gaming...

don't wanna give too many suggestions, but I did have a bit of a plan written out a while ago. o_O


in response to you PY, I'd rather have someone who keeps their noses out of other people's business, and is nice to people than someone who runs around and tells people what they shouldn't be doing, even if they get more done.  It's not a fun forum environment to have someone who is ready to pounce in the backdrop.

This is still a gaming forum, so some of that needs to stay. Generally, it seems that only the most popular game franchises (SSB, Mario, Pokemon), current-gen Nintendo consoles (Wii and DS), and the other game companies (Microsoft and Sony) deserve a board along with general boards for Legacy Systems, Wi-Fi, other Nintendo games, etc.

All I here is whining. This is not a case where it is good, because your point is deterred. As mentioned, we have a PRIVATE board, and it is private for good cause, so we can get things done without outside distractions. You forget that none of us were told in advance, so the fact we have established a board layout so soon is quite remarkable. Before judging, give us a chance. Let he who is without stupidity cast the first stone, and trust me, we all are stupid in some ways, except Genius.

I find it interesting how people are expecting great changes and it has only been 4 days, as of this writing, that the SIT members received the rank. We're not moderators, so you likely won't see any of our work except for the end results, and it is not like anyone plans on boasting about those accomplishments either. If you feel that there has been no improvements made to the forum by the end of a month or two, then by all means complain. At this point, it is essentially like determining whether or not a newborn will grow up to have a degree in differential calculus or not.

I'm just throwing something out there, but would it be possible for the SITs to have a board where the users can look at what's going on, but not post? Kinda like the Sage Only board on OldSider.

Mehh...I'm just wondering. I don't know if this is a good or a bad idea, so no need to flame.

We brought this up and decided against it, since it would more than likely just result in more whining than we already get about things.  If the board restructuring had been public as we developed it, we would have had an endless flow of complaints about getting rid of certain boards.  That and half the time, you guys don't seem to completely understand what we're discussing (i.e. renaming Nintendo Power category).  It's easier and more efficient for us to just work in private.

Activity is when you regularly see people post.

Rarely see Bluaki and Nin post.

That comes out to 5/9 that are active. I'm rarely in chat, because for some reason, it disconnects my internet :/. So I guess Talim is good.

TKB can be found at the Smash Boards, sometimes. Zovi, Kaz, Mack, and sometimes Hostile are the most active of all of them. Blu is also growing more active. The one who's really inactive is Talim.
