An APP!!! An app for WBO! I need it, as I don't like going on the website and refreshing it! An app will be helpful, as we will get notifications about a pm, a quote, and a mention (or a @)!

An app would be really good actually
especially with the notifications just coming to you on your mobile device so you don't have to be on 24/7

They are pretty much perfect for it.A bit late, but here it goes.
While I would love to be on the WBO staff, I’m still far from being a good mod here. Sometimes I can be too rude on accident, which would shine a bad light on the WBO if they had a rude staff member. If I was to be a staff member, I’d need to be better at making sure I don’t cross the line of firm and rude.

Isn’t it better for each member to make the WBO better by showing collective restraint? To at times to help remind each other to be courteous, post meaningful posts, and to report spam? Rather than rely on a few mods. How many mods will be enough if members just don’t help out? If people like the WBO, why not all pitch in rather than ask for more policing?
Why ask for mod 1st when we can first ask ourselves?

CitrusNinja3 is a good mod, just @ him and explain he problem and he’ll take care of it (same story with Jinbee). CitrusNinja3 is just new so cut him some slack.
CheetoBlader wasn’t chosen for a reason (which I don’t know, but am sure exsists).

While standard Members or Organizers may not be able to close threads, remove posts, or give out warnings, it definitely helps when someone steps in to help deescalate a situation before a Staff Member can arrive. There's also the report button, which can make it easier for a Staff Member to find a situation that needs to be dealt with. The same way that Staff Members aren't forced to give up more time than we can afford, we're not expecting Members to deescalate every issue before we can deal with them either. We appreciate the times that someone helps and understand the times where no one is able or willing to step up to the plate.

I would like to say this. Don’t mini-mod, act in the shadows by reporting (but don’t spam the report button, if you see it’s been reported then leave it alone as the mods get an alert each time someone does). Mini-modding has led to problems in the past.

Anyone wanna add each other on the buddy list? I don’t think many people on the wbo like me much atm cause I’m not the nicest guy but I wanna change that. If you’re down let me know.

I know that every site and platform may be different, with some having worse mods compared to other and the like, though Id like to give my two cents. Im a mod on a really active site (a wiki, specifically) and Id like to offer some wisdom, albeit being late to the topic — very sorry:
Theres a way that users can indeed help out without having to resort to minimodding. The minimodding type of thing is seen as really annoying, since half the time people dont know what theyre saying (just minutes ago, I had to stop someone for harassing another user and feeding them wrong information on rules). However, every site relies on the average good of a user. I know its hard, especially on the WBO where we have a huge age range and the rules page isnt very visible, but its practically common sense. A lot of us are expected to be on our best behavior on the internet, to ensure the best experience for ourselves and others. Otherwise every site would be doomed by the start. If everyone could pitch in 1% to be more respectful, courteous, and kind, then we definitely wont have issues like rule-breaking and having people to resort to minimodding
For people who minimod often on purpose and/or actually want to be mod: It is not fun to be a mod. Maybe Im biased, given that the type of mod I am is a lot more strenuous than other branches, but thats the huge deal. No one treats you like a god if you are a mod. Youre treated the same way you were as a normal user. Theres no worshipping and kissing-up. Youre also expected to work hard, act your best, and youre plagued with all sorts of insecurities. Trust me, I said something stupid to my team and I could feel their stares behind my screen. And I worry about how I might be so sarcastic and blunt, someone might actually take offense and Ill be demoted off the spot. Just because youre mod, doesnt make you exempt from the rules. And youll be punished harder than just a normal user if you break them. Not to mention, all the times I responded to my friends late just because I had to write up warning to a user
It is okay to complain about needing more mods. But in the end, it is the mod team’s decision for if they want to open up spots and take action. Dont scream or complain how no one is active. I know, its frustrating but there are many other options. Hit the report button. Private message. Be a good user and enforce the rules with whatever power and extent you have. And by experience, I know that the people who say mocking stuff like “why arent the mods active lulssss” or demanding things from mods would almost never be promoted. Ditto for asking to be promoted. We have people dissing current mods and bashing them for being offline, etc. Theyre disqualified. If you want active mods, be your best self and youll be considered a good candidate. Thats what I did. They had a shortage for mods of this branch Im in. Maybe the shortage gave me lack of competitors, but I proved myself to be worthy and therefore, now I could get the site’s plans on track
Finally, dont publicly vouche for people to be mods. Believe me, I did that many times and look what happened: Upon joining the mod team, Ive learned a LOT of stuff about past candidates trying to run/apply for modship. Histories of troublemaking, bigotry, offenses, etc. Ive supported bad people without even knowing. Saying it in private to the user is fine, but youll end up looking bad vouching for someone in front of staff if that user ends up to be terrible
Thats it. If any of you want to be WBO staff/mod one day, thats on you. The WBO isnt my main site and hobby place so I cant speak much

We can’t solely rely on two moderators but we also can’t rely on the members of the wbo either. Let’s face it, as we have seen lately, people don’t take average members seriously and at other times, minimodding only makes things worse. When people are stopped or reprimanded by authoritative figures they actually tend to respond in a different way whether it would be due to fear of punishment or due to unspoken respect. I do agree that being a moderator isn’t fun and is a responsibility as opposed to privilege but surely someone is a reasonable fit.

No, Im definitely not accusing you. Im all for WBO opening up more staff and trying to find someone as soon as possible. Though, given that a lot of Beyblade’s audience are young people and teens (similar to the wiki Im on), I can definitely say that at least someone actually thinks stuff like that. Its definitely not you. Its someone out there I might never get to know, or people or in the past. All I can say for sure if that, if they want to promote someone, it would take time. A lot of the mods here are older people here after all and as you noted, they realistically cant be on all the time. I doubt they would have time for promotions and discussions, but if they can, I think itll be appreciated. We definitely need more staff
Sometimes Im afraid there might never be enough mods to keep a site standing. Where I am, we have 17-ish active mods but never enough to close/delete annoying threads or ban someone in time. Im rather surprised that the this WBO site is running fairly well on just 2-ish active ones. If we could get one or two more, that would be cool, even if it isnt much
All I suggest is that, we really need to pitch in to make ourselves the best we can. We are in charge of our own actions and therefore, we can do our best to do whats right. Like being nice to a user, or not post something that might come off as offensive. And if Im going to be honest — even though Im quite blunt and sarcastic sometimes, Im a really lenient person at heart. Im a lot more chill with minimodding compared to other mods, just as long as people know what theyre doing and not, say, feeding someone wrong info or adding fuel to the fire. Idc what anyone does as long as it doesnt cause trouble or make the mods wanna rip their hair out

We can’t solely rely on two moderators but we also can’t rely on the members of the wbo either. Let’s face it, as we have seen lately, people don’t take average members seriously and at other times, minimodding only makes things worse. When people are stopped or reprimanded by authoritative figures they actually tend to respond in a different way whether it would be due to fear of punishment or unspoken respect. I do agree that being a moderator isn’t fun and is a responsibility as opposed to privilege but surely someone is a reasonable fit.
No, Im definitely not accusing you. Im all for WBO opening up more staff and trying to find someone as soon as possible. Though, given that a lot of Beyblade’s audience are young people and teens (similar to the wiki Im on), I can definitely say that at least someone actually thinks stuff like that. Its definitely not you. Its someone out there I might never get to know, or people or in the past. All I can say for sure if that, if they want to promote someone, it would take time. A lot of the mods here are older people here after all and as you noted, they realistically cant be on all the time. I doubt they would have time for promotions and discussions, but if they can, I think itll be appreciated. We definitely need more staff
Sometimes Im afraid there might never be enough mods to keep a site standing. Where I am, we have 17-ish active mods but never enough to close/delete annoying threads or ban someone in time. Im rather surprised that the this WBO site is running fairly well on just 2-ish active ones. If we could get one or two more, that would be cool, even if it isnt much
All I suggest is that, we really need to pitch in to make ourselves the best we can. We are in charge of our own actions and therefore, we can do our best to do whats right. Like being nice to a user, or not post something that might come off as offensive. And if Im going to be honest — even though Im quite blunt and sarcastic sometimes, Im a really lenient person at heart. Im a lot more chill with minimodding compared to other mods, just as long as people know what theyre doing and not, say, feeding someone wrong info or adding fuel to the fire. Idc what anyone does as long as it doesnt cause trouble or make the mods wanna rip their hair out

I still advocate for more staff members in the future but you have a point in saying that we are responsible for our own actions at the end of the day.

Yeah, of course. Itll be great to see some of you promoted in the future. A lot of you are fairly mature and respectful, and that kinda makes me sad when I hear how trouble doesnt get handled by mods early on. Its especially sad to me, especially when there are evidently a bunch of good people here who can discuss among each other maturely. And its also amazing to see people here who are as young as middle-schoolers, and theyre already talking like theyre a high school senior. That experience is just ruined by that bunch of advertisement bots and spammers and weirdos
Though in the end, Ill be honest, where I am isnt that much comparable to the WBO besides morals and mod expectations. At least the WBO allow underaged people, because almost every day my team has to ban kids younger than 13 for making an account. We would allow underaged people but its not legal and it would be a lot more chaotic. And a lot of the newly-turned 13-year-olds tend to make threads for shipping/bashing/crying/etc. whereas people keep themselves contained on the WBO. The WBO is great the way it is, if not lacking a few mods
Id like to be on here more often because its mature and cool, but unfortunately I have to handle real life and toxicity where I am

Echoing the thoughts of and I think that the feeling of lack of mods would be lessened if everyone followed the number one, emphasized rule in the introductory PM new users used to receive: Only post if you have something worth posting. This would severely cut down on the sheer number of spam, low quality content, filler posts, duplicate threads, and full blown conversations being made daily. The WBO has a few useful features that can also reduce clutter:
- The Search Function: Use this to see if the thread you want to create or a similar one has already been created, or if a question you have has already been answered before creating a duplicate.
- PMs: Rather than just having a back and forth conversation in one of the threads, you can just message each other. Alternatively, you could use the WBO Discord for a more chat-room style instant messager.
- Liking Posts: Most one word quote replies to posts (i.e. "thanks" "yeah" "ok" "what" ) can be communicated by liking the post instead.
I'll be frank, seeing this "we need new mods/the mods aren't active enough" sentiment coming from some of the users (not any one specific person, it's probably at least like 10 people) that tend to be the primary sources of those types of unnecessary posts is a bit grating, as is the narrative that Citrus and Jinbee are the only active mods when that's blatantly not true: Going back through the past 10 pages of the modlog, KJ is actually measurably the most active mod, and Mage, TrainiacJ, myself, and ~Mana~ show up pretty frequently as well. We wouldn't need to moderate as much if you didn't need to be moderated as much.

I would just say this. Ever since that breakout of Slash Dragon's vs. SpryzenLightnings its almost like on every thread someone starts a argument and then after it just goes out of control.
