This is my last push, as well as most others.

WE. NEED. EDITORS.

Every. Single. Mod. Works. Every. Single. Mod. Is. American.

We Can't do this alone. We need them. I work 10s, and DT goes to College. Mike has school, Will is up to his own stuff and the rest are busy with other things. Fizz is our only active Editor.

  • Fondant
  • $tarPower
  • Aeternis
  • Fizz to Moderator.
  • Consider having Sempiternus go from Expert to Moderator. Dude is awesome and really deserves it.

All of these users have been at CONSTANT work fixing things up.

Doing this would cover practically every timezone and fill in for the busy guys. These users are all very qualified for staff in my eyes and many others. They take way more than enough time out of their day to flag and edit things.

I understand you are super busy, but if this can go through then we don't have to worry about being inactive as much.


Activity

This is all based on what I know. Any of the other staff can feel free to edit.

Me - I'm fairly active. I check the site twice a day to approve, if I'm not busy, I head to the server / DB Chat and hang out. I'm not very active on the weekends.

&Psychic x - Active.

DT - Busy with College, so in the same boat as me. Fairly active.

trachy - trachy seems fairly inactive. I see him posting on his wall, but I haven't seen anything else. Nothing that calls for a demotion, though.

Mewderator - Mew has been busy with school. I think he graduated. (Congrats, dude.) Inactive, but based on his recent activity on the server I think he is back. Wouldn't say it is confirmed.

Will - Will's busy with all sorts of things. I haven't seen him, maybe someone else has. Inactive.

Aura Warrior - Kyron mentioned before his Internet was out, so this might be the same case. I do believe he can be demoted. He isn't active.

the_netts - Same boat as Mew. I think he is back to stay.

Fizz is really active.

DarthDestiny is active? Haven't seen him. It seems that he is back very suddenly. Haven't seen him on chat or anything.

All the other editors are inactive.

It is worth noting that the majority of people up there are in UTC - 5.

Fondant, $tarPower, Aeternis, Fizz, and Sempiternus are all active. It's worth mentioning that Sempiternus is more than others.

3/7 Moderators are decently active, possibly 4. I think 2 more is good.

2/7 editors are active, possibly 3. 3 more is good.

I think Indigo might do well too, I have no say here tho lol
I disagree with such a large number of promotions, at least at one time. It would make more sense to promote maybe two or three, then see how things go.

I also don't think Sciz would make a good editor.
Terlor is far to new and I don't see him begin that responsible if I'm honest (I don't see Driver on server has being responsible considering imo he shouldn't be)

Nothing against terlor personally though <3.

Sir Dan has onyl been active for about 9 months btw, maybe less. that 2 years is only for show, and from what I've seen, he isn't the most conformable;le around just yet. I'd take both of them off the list tbh. (Sowwy guys ;~;)

I think Sciz would be a great editors, sorry trachy but I think you're the only one with a problem XD.

Everyone else I want to promote aren't Experts yet, so overall I think that's a good list (Indi's cool but still a little bit childish, I'm not sure if she could take the role just yet :P). Although I realise I'm not mod so I don't really have a say politically, I'm fairly sure (at least I hope in my mind :P) that my opinion counts for something here xD
Jojo hasn't been around for that much longer than the likes of JZ or dan ;P. If I remember correctly, I used my Recoded name here? that or BP. That's not much over a year ago now.

Oh, and I came here not long before SP's expert ;D @ MK
Jack was on the site for a bit, when inactive and came back. He only hit Expert last month
Jojo's held for 13-14 months
Don't remember Dan's.

And you used BP
"I think Indigo might do well too, I have no say here tho lol"

This guy's a genius, give him a cookie. :D
I don't think I can get it because I do no competitive battling, and I'm literally one of those useless 20 point users in the RMT. That, and yes, I'm a very childish person. :P I don't really care though if I don't get Editor, but at least I'm considered by some random. I feel proud.

I don't think I'm getting it any time soon.
We URGENTLY need someone to cover European areas, so Fondant and Aeternis would be cool. Star and Semp both deserve it as well, they're two of the best experts imo and they'd fill in nicely for others during random absences like I'm in for the next week.
The only reason that me as a mod would help is because of timezones, it seems unnecessary otherwise.
I honestly believe we should just cut our losses and leave Europe to fend for itself.
Yes, because that worked so well the last time.
No, fizz.

He wants you to be moderator because you are our greatest editor.
Indeed. Fizz brings honor to famiry.
You need us Trachy. You need us..
1. Can I just say that I'm not living in the UK atm and my time zone is GMT +8.
2. ye no one cares about RMT scores
3. Europe has now been betrayed 3 times by the States; WWI, WWII, and now this.
I agree fondant.
I represent America in saying that we are sorry that we prevented you from serving under your German overlords.
Does Australia get any love :D?
No, our leader is Tony Abbot.
Do you think we would get any love with a speedo-wearing, big-eared Prime Minister who changes his opinions more than he changes his underwear?
if I'm allowed to share my option, I think Scizornician would be a great choice, as he has been on the site for a good while and is kinda the leader for the db server. he also covers a timezone that the db doesn't have anyone to cover yet.  then I'd say either Sempiternus or Fondant as they are both very experienced with rules etc, and also covers an important timezone. no idea for the last one though. $tar power would be the best choice in terms of experience and time of the site imo, but as all of the db's moderators are american, maybe Aeternis would have been a better choice.
I'm pretty much back now btw, Js
That's two! Woo hoo!

...we still need more.
Yay, now I'm Expert I can be editor :D! i edit stuzz and errythong.

Seriously though, we need some editors soon. Does anyone know where Pm's actually at?As he been around at all recently?
Honestly speaking, I'm very sure he doesn't want to promote anyone.
He's obviously seen this post before, and Ninja even linked him to it in Chat a few weeks ago.
Really? Damn, okay. Well, that's a shame. I really do think we need them.
More bump. OR/AS are here now, and there's a huge amount of posts in the admin, and a lot of them are really bad. I'm seeing stuff that was posted over 10 hours ago there. We need editors.
Ninja which Editors are you saying are active? It looks to me like the_netts, Fizz and DarthDestiny are all active.
And Blobyolo, Josh, Swampert, and Speed freak are all inactive.
DarthDestiny pops in now and again. the_netts (Ben) has stated that he is back and will be more active from now on.

Hey, sorry for leaving this so long. I will try and sort this out asap. Has anything changed in the past couple of months? Looks like $tarPower has not been very active recently.

Fontdant, Aeternis and Sempiternus look like good candidates for Editors due to their timezones.

How are we set for Moderators? Looks like Aura Warrior is not very active any more so one promotion there would be good. I don't want to add too many Editors/Mods at once though.

It should be noted that most of the current editors are inactive
Not all of them
I'm surprised no one is commenting about PM finally answering? You were begging for him to respond.

Fizz for Mod though, with Star, Fondant and Sempi as Editors. That works well.
Fizz deserves mod, always on and non-american which covers time zones
the_netts, Fizz and DarthDestiny are all active Editors. I think the others may get demoted for now.
