what about more moderators ?

berak commented 9 years ago

i'd propose LBerger, sturkmen, foobar, theodore, LorenaGDL and also pklab / unxnut

StevenPuttemans commented 9 years ago

Moderators for the moment: me, berak, Michael Burdinov, Guanta, Mathieu Barnachon, Haris which is already quite the list right? But I am always up for more help.

Some insights on the suggested names

LBerger & sturkmen --> good additions to the forum, but you notice that English is not their main language in their responses. So might not be the best options. On the other hand, the amount of responses coming from them is huge.
Theodore LorenaGDL --> good choices, clear and concise in their answers and willing to help anyone
pklab is Philip. I got the idea he is mostly active at the PR stuff, not sure if he is up to taking another job as a moderator. He is not that active on the forum.
Uxnut might be a good choice, not noticed him that much lately.
Foobar indeed good addition, but he is one of the guys not being able to access his current account :D

"but you notice that English is not their main language" - that applies to both of us, too ;)

StevenPuttemans commented 9 years ago

true ^_^ I actually wanted too write something like, the quality of English, you know what I mean :D

@alekcac I do encourage you to set some new moderators! We could use them!

alekcac commented 8 years ago

Ok, I will look at them and their activity. I will add info here later.

StevenPuttemans commented 8 years ago

:+1:

StevenPuttemans commented 8 years ago

@alekcac as far as I know new moderators have been added so this can be closed down?

PkLab commented 8 years ago

@StevenPuttemans I read this just now

pklab is Philip

What do you mean ? I'm not so active with PR ?!? maybe some mistake

In any way, thank you for your consideration :smile:

StevenPuttemans commented 8 years ago

I mixed you up with Dikay I am afraid 😆

berak commented 7 years ago

we definitely need some fresh blood here.

as of now, only steven and me seem to be left , and if both of us stay away for a day or so things pile up

LorenaGDL, LBerger, Tetragram seem to be willing to fill the ranks, just assign some more folks, please !

StevenPuttemans commented 7 years ago

I agree.

Sorry for being at a conference for a week 😀. Not really the time to do my work from here 😋

mshabunin commented 7 years ago

@berak , I've added moderator rights to mentioned persons.

berak commented 7 years ago

thanks a lot !

StevenPuttemans commented 7 years ago

@mshabunin @berak thanks for getting more people to the club. That being said, did anyone made them aware of their new powers?

LorenaGdL commented 7 years ago

@StevenPuttemans I guess so, that little warning sign appears too often not to notice it ;) In any case, it would be interesting if you have any tips/guidelines or whatever to give us

StevenPuttemans commented 7 years ago

@LorenaGdL ;) true! Welcome to the club btw!

Well basically 1) Delete spam, but try to be attentive at new users posts to not delete and block them. 2) You can take breaks, if you do not feel like deleting, someone else will take over. 3) Use your common sense in moderating topics I would say. But basically if you get these powers, this means that current moderators like your style and approach. So just keep doing what you do. 4) Make sure if topics get locked or deleted, that you as moderator provide a clean explanation to the user as why this is happening.

LaurentBerger commented 7 years ago

@StevenPuttemans @LorenaGdL So do I. Now I apply following rule : 1 block spammer 2 accept new user if message is about opencv 3 reject message if it is not about opencv but it's not a spam (only one message)

I think it's right.

StevenPuttemans commented 7 years ago

@LaurentBerger

1) Yes block and delete content option 2) Yes 3) That's a bit difficult, I usually stick to 1 or 2 and let community decide if it is related or not

LaurentBerger commented 7 years ago

About 1-2-3 when I choose an option is it possible to go back?

StevenPuttemans commented 7 years ago

I do not think so. Decisions are quite final unless you remember the name of the user, then you can change his account status by looking for him through accounts.

berak commented 7 years ago

btw, nice to have you here, it makes such a difference ;)

PkLab commented 7 years ago

nice to see some fresh blood here. I Hope this might to improve some stale questions about the forum organization :-)

sturkmen72 commented 7 years ago

hi all, i am happy to became one of the moderators today. Hope together we contribute to a better forum environment.
