I was wondering if i should weigh the votes any? Like give admins 2 points for there votes or give DTBK 2 points for each of his dldb votes (since he will be working with them)
Edit: Or maybe give every 2 points per vote and the people listed above 3 points.

Okay, looks like I'm going to have to start taking charge around here with Yoshi leaving. First, I want to get the DLDB people in. We can just get the other guys up later if we're going to need them.
I'm going MrrLL, Slyence, and PCFredZ. If nobody disagrees (DT is the only one, voting for DevliN), they'll be hired tomorrow.

Don't have any opinions between Merril and Devlin, just a small sway. Go ahead.

Okay, the DLDB Keepers are in with permissions and everything. I'm holding off on access to this forum for awhile, though.
Somehow Slyence slipped into the Validating member group. I dunno what's up with that, so I'm a little confused about him, though he got moved.
Here is a copy of the PM I sent the hirees for your reference enjoyment:
Yeah, I mispelled your name, DT.

So, you're DLDB Keepers now. Ain't that cool? You're lucky, I'm going to tell you how to do your job instead of letting you guys scramable.
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?act=downloads is the DLDB. Hopefully you knew that before you applied. Anyway, you'll notice a nice new link on the side there. "Administration". That's where the fun stuff is.
You'll get a nice menu
·Approve/Deny UMS maps submitted. (75)
·Approve/Deny Melee Maps submitted. (11)
·Approve/Deny Modifications submitted. (1)
·Approve/Deny Programs and Sound wavs submitted. (30)
: : : They do what they say. The number is the number of items in the menu. If you're lucky it'll be accurate.
·Edit files in the database
: : : Edit a file in the DLDB. You should know the name or ID before you go in.
·Update Map Spotlight
: : : Manage this if you guys find an exceptional map that everyone deserves to play. I mean high quality exemplary maps, not some bound I made on the crapper when I was drunk. When you're putting a new file up, move the top two down and put the new one on top.
·Manage DLDB Ban Filters
: : : I dunno if you guys can use this. Even if you can, don't mess around this. If you ban anyone, I'd reccomend telling someone first or making sure the REASON field is filled out very well. Otherwise, we might get a bit suspicious. There really shouldn't be much reason to ban, only use this for serious offenses.
·Check for broken links
·Reported broken links
: : : I'm not quite sure if these work anyway. Never used them, checked them now and they were both empty. Ignore them.
·Check for broken topic links
: : : Personally, even I don't know where the topics go, so there's no point bothering with this.
·Optimize the Database
: : : I dunno if you can use this. You shouldn't have a reason to anyway.
·Check FTP/MySQL for unused items
: : : Do you have access to the FTP or MySQL around here? Didn't think so.
APPROVING FILES
1. Make sure you CHECK the category. Nothing looks dumber than an RPG in Arena/Click. Or, even more obvious to find, a melee in the replay section. Ensure that the file's details all check out before you consider approval.
2. Rating files... while not required, is good practice to give people some feedback on the maps.
3. Crappy maps... if the maps are bad, just blam them. Someone's file didn't get in? Too bad. We run a quality database over here.
4. Of course, read the Map Approval Policy at the top of the main menu. That should give you an idea of what not to approve.
AND LASTLY,
Any questions? Send them to someone in charge. That would include me. And some other people, like isolated or maybe DT_Batlekruser. Its up to you.
And, that's all you need to know. Good luck, enjoy the experience.

Why don't we get the other guys up before we need them so they are stressed out and inexperianced when we actually do. With Yoshi Phasing out there need is greater. Than it was before.

Voyager and CheeZe
As for me and my tutorial managing duties, they are minimal in terms of work. Nowadays I get around 1 submission every month. I've read through them all twice and seriously I don't find a need for anymore or a need to majorly correct any of them (other than the mapmaking tips but those are a reflection of their author). Occasionally I correct tutorials because people complain or discuss them in Mapmaking Assistance.

I think Voyager is the best choice for the Modding Forum Leader...
Voyager has alot of modding experience, and is very active. He obviously wants the job since he did volunteer. Just my opinion.
Also, when exactly are these people going to get hired?

Personally, I never even thought we needed section leaders. So, I don't even know if I want them to begin with.

Yeah, I really can't set those up, so you're going to have to wait on those.
ADDITION:
I'm considering just changing "Section Leaders" into moderator positions at the rate we're going.
If anyone disagrees, speak up. Yes, I know, I cut out UMS Leader. I feel the UMS forums are adequately handled.

I'm going to keep things short and simple. With Yoshi gone, it looks like I have to decide on something with the "Section Leaders" that were being hired. Personally, this was not my idea so I really don't know exactly what their job was intended for. So, I'm giving them fancy moderator powers to compensate. This is what the "Section Leaders" have boiled down to, I apologize to anyone who is upset, but this is the path I must take.
Voyager7456(MM) is now moderator of the modding forums.
CheeZe, if you didn't notice already, is the moderator of the melee forums.
