    This thread will be updated when more changes get done. This is not a spam thread!


    <hr>
    SWAT boards
    <hr>
    based on the fact that I currently moderate 140 boards on this forum while many are not really used (anymore) ive decided to restructure everything a bit... that means to merge unused clanboards


    The Lok Narash WoW guild.
    Never was active but has tons of boards... Trowa you failed with this and that was my last try to support a WoW guild. I assume that this guild does exist.... but not here at SWAT.
    The Lok Narash boards will be merged and moved to the recycle bin (clarification... nothing at SWAT gets ever deleted... we store every thread in the recycle bin so we are on the secure side when people come here to claim shit).


    AI - Aresiens Inquisition
    Once it was one of the most successful Helbreath guilds and very active at SWAT... now not existent anymore.
    Will be merged and moved to the recycle bin.


    Fastlane mod
    Inactive -> merged and moved to recycle bin


    EtC - Eternity Corporation
    Old Eve Online guild... not active anymore -> merged and moved to recycle bin


    BD - Braindead
    SWAT Battlefield clan... not active anymore -> merged and moved to recycle bin


    X-Force
    Lock-On community... not active anymore -> merged and moved to recycle bin


    dF - die~FreaxXx
    Old Jumpgate guild... not active anymore -> merged and moved to recycle bin


    MoD - Ministers of Death
    Very successful Starlancer clan but inactive -> no decision about it yet but very likely the content will get published to encourage people to play the game


    AoD - Army of darkness
    an old classic Doom project... more a fun project -> merged and moved to recycle bin


    Doom Warpack
    One of my first mods ever... possible re-release on new engine


    DB - Dragon Blades
    First WoW guild that I created... inactive now -> merged and moved to recycle bin


    FF - FlederFalken
    Freelancer Clan that became a division of BG long time ago... this clan gets reactivated now with the return of its leaders/members
    If its going to be a full clan or a division of BG again is not known yet.


    <hr>
    SWAT moderators
    <hr>


    Ancalagon
    was active with CF... but yet there is no real moderation done at SWAT
    A decision about possible jobs will be done after talking with anc


    Blaster
    Inactive at SWAT ... or at least I have not read otherwise
    ... i intent to remove his moderator rights


    Bot
    An automatic moderation bot... Ive been thinking to reactivate it to prevent doubleposts and such stuff


    Centaurian
    Very good work all around the SWAT projects but not much forum moderation activies (very likely due to limited moderation rights)... I intent to give him full moderation rights on the entire forum


    Fire_Wolf_br
    forum moderation of his own modding board here at SWAT
    No changes planned


    goodone
    will get removed from the moderation due to inactivity and rumours which worry me


    pcforce
    currently moderating the hardware board
    I cant see much need for moderation there but intent to give him moderation rights on the software board too (he is active on both)


    privateer
    currently moderating the privateer boards
    dunno yet if changes are neccessary or wanted


    supercars
    the spammer
    moderator of Freespace.... ill have to have a long talk with thim.... but I intend to give him the moderation of the hangman board so he can remove solved games and keep the board active (and there is always something to do)


    Tito/Damian
    Dunno - I absolutly dont know here ... I assume talks are needed


    Trowa_Barton
    gets removed from moderation since all the boards that he is moderating get removed


    Tyrael
    is gone if i remember right... or is he back? I simply lost track


    ZooP
    the most active forum moderator upto now... i intent to extent the moderation rights (uh that did sound good)
    but will have to get an overview about the other structural changes first


    {LP}Knightshade{X}
    moderating Infinity atm... but not active much... dunno why
    Ill have to do talks first before i can make a decision.





    Some moderators very likely need to get replaced... other sections of SWAT never were moderated... we need voluntaries which really can be active and which want to help SWAT

    Only dead fish swim with the stream.
    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.


    This is ten percent luck,
    Twenty percent skill,
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will,
    Five percent pleasure,
    Fifty percent pain,
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

    He was back, but is currently away dealing with some heavy family issues, judging from what little he has told me.


    The unfortunate early demise of the official Nexus forum left me with not much to work with, but I admit I have been too busy with RL to keep up with alternate boards. Looks like my schedule is beginning to free up, however, so I can get more forum time. 8)
