A long overdue rant

Hello, I'm Rawrrrrr. I have been on MyBuzz for 488 days. I've been here in the best of times, and I'm in here for the worst.

Many may have noticed a lot of trollings lately. Sure, every site gets trolled, but normally something is done about it. Not at MyBuzz, though! MyBuzz admins seem to only come on once a year to deal with problems on the site, and by the time they get here, the damage is done. We've lost many a good artist because the admins can't take five minutes out to ban someone. However, they can still upload art with comments on it, and can get a new account.
Hey, ever hear of an IP Ban?

Back to inactivity, there's this one thing that really grinds my gears! A couple of times we have begged for a new, active admin. We give several good candidates, and good reasons, and yet...
The new admin may be active for a week or two, then, like the others, they vanish. It's unfair to us. This is no way to run a site! We're all sick of constant trolling, of spam, of pornagraphy being uploaded...

We understand that you all are frustrated by spam and inappropriate content along with the administrators.

We are hoping this will improve over the next couple of weeks, if not days. Hopefully you'll be patient, if a change is not seen then their will be consideration in new administrators.

Thank you for your feedback.

Unhostile, just listen to us.
We don't want consideration. We want new admins now. Face it; how long did it take you to reply to this thread?

"...improve over the next couple of weeks, if not days."
Try months.

Look, we've been patient.

I'm through. I'm tired of waiting for admins to deal with the **** here, I want new, active admins, double emphasis on the ACTIVE. And I want them NOW.

I'm not gonna wait any longer for changes that should've happened months ago.

Rawwwr it's not as simple as that. This website is not a big one, with lots of traffic so I would guess that the admins have their own lives and jobs, which means they wouldn't be around often. The best possible action is to somehow make respected users of thus community moderaters.

You know, apex is probably right, guys. They might have lives, just like you an me! If so, they wouldn't be able to manage the site as often as they would like...

I am aware they are real people with real lives. The thing is, there are many users here who are active, some who can make great admins. The way I see it, if you want to be an admin, you've got to be able to actually be on the site. Seriously, I mod two sites, and one of the requirements for both was to post at least once a day. If you can't be active, you can't be a mod. Or admin, in this case.

Thing is, back in the day, we made a whole thing of candidates, who were active, artists on the site, and well-liked. They were completely ignored. Instead, we got broken promises of active admins. Luke was supposed to be our young, active admin. Anyone seen him around lately?

Boo freaking hoo. World doesn't revolve around this website or you. We should be glad we can use their server to upload paintings and chat. They aren't getting much out of it as there is no ad support. Possibly only revenue could be mypaint2. So If you don't like it, go to some other art community.

We do, but MyPaint is more convenient to upload iPod paintings. Besides, shouldn't you be an example of why we need better admins?

Look, people can be affected by things on the internet. Think of maybe some 6 year old on their parent or sibling's iPhone. Now say they come on here, only to see that somebody has uploaded porn. Real nice. Not only that, but we may report it, but doesn't an admin have to delete it? If they don't come on often, that porn'll just linger around the site for other young eyes to see.

There's also been drug-dealers posting threads, and how long did it take an admin to delete them?

Good thing they don't get any money outta this. They'd be getting paid for doing nothing.

Ok, we'll get some new admins ASAP.

They can't be chosen on popularity though, as we need people to get the job done, not a popularity contest (often the most popular members make terrible mods as they're popular for stirring things up a bit, which is not the right type of personality).

Done my the end of the weekend (or long weekend lol).

The update is probably a while away. MyBuzz will be replaced with Apple.MMGN.com, so more of a general Apple focus, but we're fairly busy with other developments at the moment.
