Just say it here without threat of evilness!
None of the above. Some do very well. Others seem to be largely inactive in that department.
All are VERY kind though :D
a hell of a lot better than SA or newgrounds, in fact we have the best group of admins on this forum than any other forum i've been on, much more mature too.

Also remember that a lot of work does go on behind the scenes. As many may have noticed, DV is very lenient. So you may not see a lot of moderating going on up front, but behind the scenes a lot of work is done by the teams.
Just felt that should be brought up. Carry on :cool:
EDIT: PS: Just looked at the voting results. Squall you cheater you :p
I couldn't tell you who they are to be honest. But the forum seems well run, and anything I have reported has always be dealt with swiftly so thumbs up from me!
Translation: never forget that, now get back to work on posting, slaves! We need to guarantee income from online popularity once advertisements are in place! Yarr! :pirate:Quote:

P.S. I'm not talking about seeker =P
How can you guarantee the "no thread of evil"? ;)
I said they're pretty good. I post some stuff that you have to be pretty open-minded to read without scoffing. In fact, I think subconsciously, I could almost say I aim to offend those people who are easily-offendable haha. I haven't had anything unfairly deleted on me (that I'm aware of).
What I see is a minimal amount of spammy posts (in the media forum mostly), and mods being invisible. That's a good thing. If a forum of this size feels like it's relatively spam-free, but relatively unmoderated, that means the mods are doing a good job :D.
All good points.Quote:

But on a serious note; it does seem that a handful of moderators are doing the work of the entire team. Arby also raises a good point.
I think they are excellent.
The only problem is that if you criticize one of them, they all jump to defend him or her like a lioness defending its cubs, which is kind of cute, but it makes criticizing very difficult.
And again I'd like to emphasize I think they are superb.
I think they are all doing a wonderful job! They are friendly and helpful, and the forum is well run. There's not a lot of spam, and not any "trolls." So I say that all of the admin/mods/dg's are doing great!
They're pretty active, at least the ones that I've seen
Asshats, the lot of 'em.
**EDIT**
It needs to be noted that I said this when I was a moderator.
PJ's very friendly. Arn't you PJ!
I don't see why THEY are mods and I am not >: (
:D
Same here! *Bangs fist on table*
Lol
They're all horrible, obviously. Especially that Burns dude. Who does he think he's tricking? He's not a girl!
Hurrrrrrr
LMAO Marvo :lolxtreme:
You've no idea.Quote:

I have to admit it does seem a bit...hmm...how to put this...childish or selfish(?) to criticize the mods when a. you don't even see 90% of what they do because it all takes place behind the scenes, b. we're all volunteering our own time to help make the forum a better place for all of you, not like we're getting paid to do this you realize?, c. people put in places of power will always be scrutinized and criticized so we all have to watch what we say and be extra nice to the little people...so while all of you are getting to run around saying whatever you like, we actually have to attempt to set good examples. It's not easy.
*shrugs* I dunno...I just wish people were more appreciative of everything we do here, but I'm not going to hold my breath...it seems as though most people online these days have become increasingly selfish and expect things without realizing that there are actually people holding together the places they visit each day.
Both , actually. I'll admit that I'm both.Quote:

I think the admins/mods/dg's are all awesome, i've been on many other forums and alot of them can be cruel and nasty and ban you because they simply do not like you, on here it is fair and i look up to the senior members, its a pleasure to be on this forum :) Thanks alot, wouldn't be the same without the current mods/dg's/admins!
I can be cruel and nasty when you skip payement :evil:Quote:

I like the staff here, personally.
I've been a moderator at another forum, and I found that the biggest problem for the staff was that while some people had reasonable complaints, they didn't ask for anything specific. They would say "The mods aren't doing anything," but sometimes they don't see everything that's going on. We have... how many posts here at Dream Views? Just be specific if you want something. Makes their job easier :)
Same here. I've been wondering about that since I got back here and started posting again. Loads of people seem to have disappeared. Megabenman, Kaniaz, Hominus Ferallis... :wtf:Quote:
