The number of MODs needed is to be determined by Ryan each month. However, there shall always be an odd number off MODs.

Active Players* seeking a MOD position with the most votes by the end of the 1st of each month shall be inaugurated to their respective positions.



Article II The duties / responsibilities of the MOD Squad

All players wishing to add / update an Avatar, will submit their avatar to the Review Process. This review process will be done with due diligence, and generally all avatars shall be reviewed by one of the MODs within two (2) days. Once the Avatar has been accepted, it will be displayed.

MOD’s shall retain the right to ban or revoke the privileges of players that break the rules of KDICE. Not only will the username(s) of the guilty be blocked, but the Public IP address(s) of the user will be blocked as well.

Banning durations will no longer be arbitrarily assigned. They will be as follows.

PGA or Game to Game Favors – If a player is suspected of a PGA or Game to Game Favor the moderators will be given one (1) week to review the facts of the case. The MODs will then submit their verdicts to the President of the Moderators. Each MOD will cast a vote for Guilty or Innocent and a brief summary of how they came to their verdict. All MODs must vote, and their vote and logic will be posted in open forum. If any MOD fails to vote, the MOD’s will be said to have been hung, and the defendant shall be found NOT GUILTY. In the event of a tie Vote between the mods, the President of the MODs* shall vote to break the tie. This is the only circumstance in which the President of the MODs* shall vote.
In the event that a player is found GUILTY of PGA or Game to Game Favors, they may Appeal the Case. All information that was made available for the MODs to base their verdict on will be provided to the Player in Appeal. This information will be posted on open forum for thirty (30) days, in which an open dialogue will be held in the FORUMS. The player in appeal will have the ability to Blog in the Forum during this period (not be able to play KDICE). At the conclusion of the thirty (30) day period, a re-vote will be held by the current MOD Squad. The verdict of this vote will be final with no further appeal allowed.

I love how the mods spend time criticizing this instead of coming up with ideas of their own to better the site....

Why are you so threatened by an open dialogue on the Moderation of this site Thraxle et al (mods)?

There's been open dialogue for years. I'm not threatened by anything you say. Your ideas simply aren't viable. The only viable solution in lieu of a more active website administrator is the system you have. And the more mods we have the better.

Ryan is only one person and he is the only one that holds the keys to the site. The ideas you have are awesome if the website had 50,000 unique vistors per month and Ryan could quit his day job and live off his KDice/Gpokr earnings.

But he can't, so start coming up with ideas that don't require the participation of the only person that can control changes on this website.

the mods have already decided the single best improvement for the site would be if game replays could be saved so that they could observe what happened. would make their job much much easier when it comes to pga decisions.

i think Ryan will code this sooner or later.

and wasnt there a blog post (by sam?) that was solely meant for kdicers to express their ideas on how to improve the modding situation, since all the mods agreed it was insanity to think that the mods had enough resources to mod this entire community?

stop criticizing the mods saying they havent done shit when the reality is that you havent done shit in researching what theyve done.

look, we're all open to improvements in the modding. the only way it will improve is if Ryan codes more. and we all love to discuss potential improvements. but if you come in with this attitude of "ive been here since 2006, and mods havent done shit," then it becomes almost impossible to take you seriously from then on because either we must conclude you are oblivious (since youve ignored all the previous mod discussions), or you are spiteful.

please act more humble and helpful, and good changes might happen based on your opinions. otherwise your opinions wont make it far if you cant express them the right way.
