It is not that at all, ever consider he could be hiding part of the truth from you? I mean saying that you need to attend to your studies is a wise thing but you need to also consider he may not be stating all of the reasons? You are naive but you were being used. You are not the only one that ever has been used. Your function was to defend HR more than just making sure GC was a safe haven.

I have a close friend of @Samwise saying that my studies was the reason.

Not sure how that was allowed. Making users prove their worth or more at loyalty in order to become real mods. I think if a chatter is made a relief mod it should be for a defined period of time after which they are made full mods or in lieu of that lose their relief mod status. I know most admins here have good hearts and mean well maybe except one.

Relief mods are just as useless as regular mods

Not me, I did my job perfectly, I didn't have no personal grudges, didn't fight with nobody, gave 3-4 warnings before I muted people (I rarely kicked anybody, I think that's why I'm favorite able, by @Samwise mods)

I would argue they are more useless, I mean not given their pretty colors, the only reason to mod is to appear cool and kick out people you don't like. I mean if an admin is going to have a user do that they did to full mod them at least after a few weeks.
 
i say keep it simple. If someone has the right stuff and there’s a spot open, the moderators put their name forward. If not then they don’t and that’s the end of the story.

Moderators and admins have enough on their plates without having to juggle the names and behaviors of 30 or so potential applicants who just want to kick trolls and mute people they don’t like which are probably 98% of the applicants anyway.

Haha, only Admins make the decision of who gets mod, and relief mods are people that fill in for site mods, re: as @Samwise said....

Its 4 -12 weeks depending on how much time they get in room. Most go on to staff mod positions -if those are full they can go on a list, and may be assigned for limited duration while a staff mod is on vacation for example.

It is 4-12 weeks so when they do become staff mods- they are very well trained by the solid crew at General Chat- which is the whole point of the program. It is easily managed, has been implemented for about 2 years in our room.

Similar approaches are common in the workforce or real life volunteer organizations- including other rooms on this site. It has worked out well but does take some time and effort. And it has worked well enough that I have other rooms often asking me if we know of good mod candidates etc


(edit: if it makes anyone feel better, you could use the term "probationary" instead of relief) 🙂

So, yeah. @Awesine_Jason what @Samwise said
 
Probationary mods are an administrative choice in General Chat. I've read the feedback and see no reason to alter course. Thank you all for your suggestions, however I'm not appointing mods after 1 a week trial lol. The simple fact that some relief mods are temp assignments around vacations and things also has eluded commenters.
