Looking for a new Letsbeef Moderator
 

Hi all

We're looking for a new moderator to join myself and Rai in the day to day running of the site

Person will need to be extremely active (and intending to be active going forward)

Person will need to be fair and honest.

Tasks will include moderating the battles and forums, the fair running of tournaments and helping users with account issues.

You will be expected to join the staff discord as well, as many decision will require the council of your fellow mods or the Head Moderator.



Whilst this is obviously not a paid position, you will be given a custom usertitle allowance for one account as a thank you. Plus you get that warm feeling in your belly for helping the site grow. Who needs money! jk X gimmie tha loot


Anyone wanting to be considered seriously, please post here and we shall make a decision soon!

1/

I’d be down to be back on the mod squad and help out around this place again!

#EtH4Mod

Give it to Manhattan.

Manny, EtH or Punk if Punk is willing. Someone that's on this site all the time and has always been on it consistently.

Potential Candidates (personal opinion)

activity

guts:

whether or not you hate em, you can't deny he's the most active member (yes i know, i don't have a life, not really a bragging point here)

punk:

everybody knows punk is really active in the forums/chatbox, but he's always been hella busy this year with battles tracks and crew activity. he's the leader of the most active crew. only negative to this is a lack of votes, but surely that could/would change.

rieper:

lock may not always be pushing himself into the conversation, but he's usually around, and when he previously was mod, he was the only mod that i felt like matched me in activity. he was always fixing vp, handling issues, and running lbt/tourns on time. he's also been active as a voter and battler for well over a year.

rican:

he's obviously the most active in the forums, and it seems like he's just always online. he's a very active voter as well. whether or not this is a good thing, idk, but have to put him here for his high level of activity.

kiwi peewee:

kiwi is on a different time frame, but since he's been back, he's been extremely active. he's currently the best voter (according to my personal rankings) and he's contributed a fair amount to forums. i think he's the least active of this group, but more active then everybody else.

dedication

rieper:

he's been around for probably the longest streak of anyone here today. that should speak for itself.

punk:

punk gives a fuck about this site. he's been here forever, and dedicated unknown time and energy into innovation and promotion. i know he'd like to see LB succeed.

rican:

i mean you have to be pretty dedicated to log into 30 accounts trying to avoid a ban.

guts:

everyone knows my "drake gonna promote us" quotes, and nobody questions my dedication.

@Autograph would be another candidate I would suggest

Guts or Punk if we talk activity.

Manhattan if we talk experience.

#Aggo4Mod

effort

rieper:

other than me, i don't think anybody else would put in the effort required to be an awesome mod. lots of boring af menial tasks, and also, hours and hours and hours of your life spent answering the same questions over and over. but i saw him do it before, and i think he'd do it again.

guts:

like with everything else, in terms of dedication, effort, and activity, i rank myself the highest.

You know me @RULE I’m down for the opportunity

Perhaps have Rai try to focus more on the FVC and have a FULL-time mod focus on the audio area and other aspects, of course.

respect

rieper:

is there anybody more respected at this point? rule maybe, but i think everybody believes in lock, and thinks highly of him. be it the titles, his attitude, or his actions as mod, i can't say anybodies more universally accepted.

punk:

everybody loves punk. well, almost everybody. punk is former staff, and a long time dedicated member. he's put together a crew that brought life back to crews. he even one his first title this year, earning him more respect. there are some that don't fuck with him, but i think he'd be generally accepted.

autograph:

i've seen a lot of love for him lately, and i think if he were modded, that people would be fine with it. i don't know him that well, but he seems level headed, and perhaps that's what leads to him being respected.

manhattan:

we know about his past, but i think it's mostly just rumors that were intended to ruin his rep. even so, i can't think of one person that doesn't respect manny. he's an elite battler, from what i read, he was a good mod, and since he's been back, i've seen nothing but people saying good things about him.

kiwi peeweee:

perhaps the least respected of this group, i know a lot of people that respect kiwi, and think highly of him. he's been proving himself to be a level headed, and intelligent member, who's willing to give LB a lot of love and attention. maybe not everybody fucks with him, but i think most people would be willing to give him his shot.

@Autograph

If anyone else gets it I’m leaving haha !

wait

what's manny's past? lol

approach

kiwi peewee:

i personally believe kiwi (even though young) would have the best approach to a mod role. i don't think he'd let any bullshit slide, but i think he'd be fair and compromising, he honestly reminds me of rule. i don't think he has any personal bias, and that helps a lot.

rieper:

once again, i don't think any one would question lock for mod. when he was a mod he did a great job. i know he handles his shit, and wouldn't let any cheating go down. maybe my only fear is that he wouldn't confront other mods, about their actions, but honestly, i think if there were anything serious enough to come to that, he would.

Kiwi might be a very unbias decision, tbh

deserving


previous staff:

i think anyone that was staff (aside from myself, pugz, and mugz) is the most deserving. they were doing just fine, and a lot of shit that they weren't apart of lead to staff being removed. this includes lock, edge (kind of), seul, and hvk.

rieper:

lock has been here for a long time w/o a break. lock has become perhaps the most accomplished lb battlers in history. lock has been staff before. lock has time and time and time again proven himself to be a respectable person who has love for the site. i think he's most deserving.

kiwi peewee:

modding a newer user, or somebody green to staff in general is always a questionable move, however, i dont think there is anyone else on this site that has a better temperament for the role. he's a top tier voter, he's active, and he's elevating daily.

conclusion

rieper:

i think he's my #1 choice. i'm pretty sure he's willing, and i know he'd be a good mod.

kiwi peewee:

this is my #2 choice. give the kid a chance.

punk:

punk would be my #3 choice, but due to his comments, it seems he is not interested in being a mod.

I think Rieper should have another crack at it.

guts as mod?

i'm not sure it's time yet. i fucked up as a mod previously. a lot of you have heard rumors, or were apart of it. i let my personal issues with punk and eth effect my choices. i wasn't considerate enough of my fellow staff members, and how my actions reflected poorly on them too.

i love letsbeef, and no matter what, i'll be here with all my ideas and effort. but i don't think i'm going to consider being a mod until i earn that kind of respect.

AUTO 2020 stop playin with the homie. Anytime my guy’s active he’s helped the site.

Let’s get a new face in there. I DO NOT wanna be mod. Like Never again. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER AGAIN...

#VoteForAuto2020

Idk dudes petty. He'll prolly ban me after I 100 him. I'd give Riepe the Nod

Lmao @Celsius shutup bruh

a few notes about staff in general

1. i think tournaments are too wild right now. our activity is low, and the tournaments should reflect that. i think there shouldn't be a tourn set without at least 16 members that are known for showing up. i think we need to stop putting in people who habitually no show tournaments (lookin @you rupt)

2. i would like to see voting power explained and handled publicly. there is no reason it should be hidden.

3. voting power needs to be altered again. new members should have 0, and earn their vp. just like playing a game, you don't start of with every part of your kit. you have to learn how the game works. also, to my knowledge people are not getting voting power altered. obviously it needs to be. bnas (somebody who campaigns his personal issues via votes) should not impact an actual battle, and especially not in the same way as somebody like edgeworth. highly skilled battlers, and knowledgeable voters should have the max vp, everybody else will be trying to earn their way there. ALSO staff should NOT HAVE MAX VP JUST FOR BEING STAFF. their vp should reflect their knowledge and voting skills in general.

4. fvc members should be the most active voters on site, and their vp should reflect their actual voting skill.

5. i'd like to see staff discuss more things openly with the general population of lb

Honestly I'm cool with Auto getting Mod spot. You got 1 in 2 of the major crews if it goes like that, and RULE to balance it out as a 3rd party Mod (Classick could always become a major crew again. All depends on RULE).

Also, I appreciate the consideration, but I also understand if they wanna go in a new direction. Good luck to whoever gets it regardless.

Auto fo' show!

AUTO4MOD

Auto has been an active member for years yo, helping with whatever he can, stays battling and is always in the threads to know what's poppin round here.

Give him a chance yo! #AUTO4MOD

AUTO4MOD

I think @Rieper should be mod. We had a system, and everyone was on the same page before the mod team got eviscerated. I think it'd be good to have him in there to shoot some of the ideas we had previously, because honestly - apart from a hiccup here and there, it was run pretty well before. No offence to Auto or anything, just sharing my thoughts.

Im throwing my name in tha hat, regardless to what anyone has to say about me, im here.. im active and all I wanna do is see tha site improve and if I kan truly do something to help that happen ill be willing to learn and put my best foot forward.

Fuck with a nigga one time.

..:high:

In my personal opinion, based on my previous experience in the FVC, the FVC mod should only be tasked with running the FVC. This is because there is such an immense workload involved in properly running it, which isn't feasible to get done alongside the duties that other moderators have. HVK put an absolute ton of work into running the FVC, and since voting is a real problem at the moment I think we need that level of work back again. Rai has been doing a great job, but he's too busy with both his life and his other mod duties running multiple cards and helping people out. I think we should add 2 moderators. One should join the general mod team with RULE and Rai. The other would become the FVC moderator, specifically in charge of that. The FVC mod wouldn't be junior to the other mods at all, just more specialised.

As far as who it should be, I'm truly honoured to even be considered for this but I think I'm a bit too young and inexperienced. I think that Lock/Rieper is 100% the most qualified, and if he wants it then I think he would be the best choice. Auto is clearly keen, well-respected and basically the only thing I know about him is that he's dedicated to the site. I think he would make a great FVC mod, because he's dedicated, highly active and well-respected. That's just my thoughts.

@Kiwi Peewee

usually i hate this idea of "mods for this and that" but i think what you've said is true. running the fvc takes an insane amount of work. you have to read at least a 1000 votes, if not more, and you have to keep track/tally of votes for fvc members, plus be looking for recruits, so that's even more work. it takes more than 10 hours a week no doubt.

considering that, i'd like to run the fvc. the duties are something i pretty much do already. rai can focus on just being a regular mod, running tourns, fixing vp, and solving problems. i think lock needs to be a regular mod, not fvc runner, but that's just because he'd be more needed as a regular mod, even though he could run the fvc extremely well.

as for as auto for fvc mod? i'm not sure. he's a good voter, and he votes often. i've never heard any of his ideas for it so, i dont know. other potential fvc runners could be noble and seul and edge but i highly doubt any of them have the time or willingness.

The last thing we need is another,
Corrupt/bias Mod to come out of Dedsec,
You should see how the entire team
Still defend 2Fuel’s despicable actions.

Not a single DedSec member defends 2FUEL.

90% of the time if someone wants to be a mod it's for the wrong reasons. They want a title or some power or a colored name. Access to info they wouldnt have otherwise. Also, I've seen mods do some shade shit. Been on the team. Used my powers to troll members as Ana's. And I was one of the least corrupt. Anyone championing for themselves in this thread looks bad to me. Just like voting for yourself in the lb awards.

I don't have a lot of hope in my being selected. But, I'd be interested in re-joining staff.
