Wow! Have you ever felt theymos has this inability to make a decision? From the looks of your statement, the signs are there.
Not really. I think it's more that he doesn't have time, which he has stated as such a couple of times. Cyrus also either doesn't have time or just can't be bothered. I honestly don't think there's a better person to run the board than theymos. He's far smarter than I am and I trust his judgement, but you can't run a ship from the shore with your head buried in the sand and the longer you don't act on things the worse they become. I really don't understand why some things are just ignored, especially when they take away the workload from him and people annoying him about things incessantly. I've been saying for years workload needs to be distributed better. Adding mods to certain sub boards should be a no-brainer and would likely take a few minutes and a couple of clicks for him to do. We even lose more staff then we gain and the forum continues to grow day by day so things get much worse. Punishing signature campaigns would cut down on the spam drastically. Requiring merit to move to Junior would also stop bots from ranking up. All simple things.
Maybe it is time to move on, abandon this titanic. Migrate to other existing platform or create a new one.
There isn't anything better, nor as profitable as here so it's still the best place. There are several other boards you could use but they're pretty dead. Things need to change though before the only people posting here are bots and barely legible spammers churning out their generic one liners re-worded slightly over their 12 accounts each just to claim enough bounties for their 'daily needs'.
Perhaps hiring a hacker to hack his account too... I don't know something different than sitting here doing nothing.
This is silly. I merited your post before I read the last bit. I understand your frustrations but this isn't the way to go.
That's surprising! I thought Global Mods would be interacting with the admins very frequently on that IRC channel. Also, do you think the cost would be the problem with adding a new mod? I mean we won't certainly consider finances but maybe theymos does?
I don't use IRC. The last time I did nothing much was getting discussed in there either so I don't bother with it. Using the Staff board is far more efficient. I don't see why the cost of paying more mods would be an issue. Theymos has said a couple of times the forum has enough in reserves. We've also lost several mods over the past year or so. There are also numerous ways this forum could likely bring in hundreds of thousands in revenue: more ad slots, offer more donator ranks, charge ICOs to list here to name a few.
P.S : If you get a chance to talk to him again, tell him Indian Board desperately waits for a mod too.
Already have. krishnapramod is the highest reporter in Bitcoin Discussion so I think he would make a good board mod for there and a patroller. Seeing how he's apparently Indian I think it would be wise to assign him to the local board as well if he was chosen.
