Invisible Status

[Mr Happy]

I faced this three days ago, i had to pm three of them, they were active in CB but didn answered pm, i got a bit confused, i wrote in CB to reply but they didn, then i got mindy online n she solved me but meanwhile 2 hours were gone

But what was the issue? That's important. The point I'm making (admittedly on behalf of staff which I'm not) is that if they were online and considered your PM important they probably would have acted sooner as they are responsible enough to do so. Most PM's are unnecessary and therefore don't receive immediate attention.

It's not fair on the staff to imply they didn't act without letting people know what they didn't react too.

Point is when you accept the mod position you accept all the
questions, daily hassle, helping, enforcing rules ect...

You don't accept the position to appear offline all day long

I disagree. They are staff not baby sitters expected to hold the hands of kids and show them around while they answer every single question.


Really don't know why I'm defending the staff so much. Don't even get along with most of them.

I agree that they are not baby sitters,
but they take on a role of responsibility as a mod i would expect them to answer questions that a newb would have regarding the forum maybe a simple question that needs answering but mods are here to help the members not to hide out all day long, mods are here as a support to the forum, they are here to help the members, that's why they have been voted in to better the forum, first way of bettering the forum is helping the members of the forum.

I guess this is just how i see how mods are supposed to be.

Don't get me wrong some mods are helpful ect...
I'm not having a go at the mods,
I just thing they should use the invisible a lot less or possibly replace
it with a "off-duty" or a busy status instead.

While I was viewing the picture in full size I tried clicking the KWWHunction logo in the pic to go back to the homepage. Fail.

I havent read all the posts but wtf is this shit

There is no need for mods to be visible, if a member has a problem which needs solving all he needs to do is send a report and the mod will attend to him. Simples.

The invisible feature is handy to catch spammers, people using racist slurs etc. So personally i dont think it should be removed.

Members should know how to follow rules regardless of the online status of an mod. And like i said before a simple report would do the job and a mod will attend to it if a member needs help .

I've not used the invisible status ever since we were allowed to use it. Regarding the invisible option, we will use it as per our wish. Just because a member of staff maybe using the status does not necessarily mean we are on "breaks" or we are "ignoring" members. We are here to provide support and make KWWHunction a better place for everyone (including ourselves).

Simple as saying the alphabet;
Report a post if you see one breaking the rule.
PM a member of staff if it's urgent (PMs are not ignored if staff are invisible)
Any other questions - PM a member of staff.

I hope the other members of staff will still use the invisible status regardless of this thread.

I'm on ninja mode too. I don't get a lot of stupid PM's anymore
