What some of you should understand is that it is up to the moderators to decide what is appropriate and what isn't.
This brings up an interesting idea.

It appears that out of all my posts that I have made, the majority come from General Chat. After being a contributing member for the GC forum for so long, I'd like to think I have an idea on how at least that forum on TFF works. Anyways, instead of having mods directly choose someone else on who should be in charge of the forum, why not ask the community who would be a good candidate?

Being a direct part of the community, I feel that at the very least I should have a small say in who is able to interpret what I say on the forums.

Let's run a mock trial of it. Say a mod spot opened up in the FFX forum. Though I don't know how choosing a new mod works (I assume you guys do a vote in the mod forum between yourselves or something?), but instead of that, you make an announcement thread or whatever. Then it would open up to community's thoughts. I would make a reply, and I would choose Polk because I feel like he has a lot of knowledge in that forum, plus I feel that he is also a respectable member of the community. There would be more nominations or second notions for candidates, and then the mods would decide on a mod from there, or maybe they would feel like there were no good candidates, or maybe they would come to the conclusion that there is no need for getting another mod at the time.

Anywho, I just feel like if we want to get a more diverse and new group of community members, we should start by striving to build a more diverse and new group of moderators as well. Some of them seem out of touch with their own community. How are we supposed to follow their lead if they don't know the way themselves?

Just trying to give new ideas for the forums, comments/criticism please. Sorry if it sounds charlie, it's 3am and it sounded cool at the time, night all and I <3 tff. :3
