Good shit, Fair play.

I like Just C's post. I think it would run smoother if there were a team of Topical mods, each tasked with different things they had to do/look after. Should only take like three people to run it efficiently.

Is nobody listening to me? You need admin powers to make the topical arena worth while.

Records can be done by anyone editing their post in the forum and making it sticky. That's the only format possible without some serious work being put in.

Open topical battles will stay there for months and months and months, anyone can do that also.

Audio topicals can be recorded a track and posted I guess, again anyone can do that.

I don't think a new topical mod is worth it because there's literally nothing you can do apart from edit other people's posts in the topical forum. For it to be worth a 'team' of topical mods you'll all need actual mod/admin powers.

Good luck though

You don't need admin powers to run the topical forum properly. You need someone who is going to make the most of what little they have while using their own initiative, not someone who is going to sit around feeling sorry for there self and using a lack of power as an excuse to do nothing.

BANG BANG

Lol whatever Just C. When I agreed to be Topical Mod last time I got told it was getting the old video battle part of the site and would become a lot more official and actually be able to count towards points, have hottest battles, open battles, recent battles and a proper record system, but yeah sure it's my fault. I didn't even have the powers to hold a tournament in the brackets so had to fight with admin for an official title despite it being a forum tournament.

It's cool though @Just C for topical moderator IMO. Let him have a go

Fair enough you were promised somethings that you never received. But you've still got to put that on the back burner and get on with it, and make the most of what little you have.

Going back to the admin powers. There's nothing in Admin powers that can make your job easier.

It just means you can sticky and edit posts anywhere in the forums and that you can delete votes and edit vp which have no bearing on the topical lounge or topical battles.

I'm not tryna be a dick, I'm just giving you the real.

As for the brackets. They really AREN'T that big of a deal.

You should just do you and keep your ship running smoothly. Fck the other mods bitching about when you run what and titles. That isnt there business.

lmfao corb did you add that tag?

Na you're seeing it as it is now which is fair enough, but it's not easy to build on something that lacks any solid foundation. Admin could sort out all the issues that made topical battling unpopular, I could not and that was the bottom line for me. I'm not topical mod now anyway so I wish luck to whoever takes over and I hope they do a better job

And yeah fuck titles right? But when Mayneak promised me that it was official and then waited til the first round was about to open to tell me IN THE FORUMS that it wasn't official unless it was in the brackets and then nobody wanted to take part in a forum tourney so dropped out.. Then not having access to the brackets seemed like quite big of a deal lol

Lol nah that wasn't me.
