Hmm. Interesting. I suppose I am getting far enough into the tutorials to start getting a little more complicated.
EDIT ~ I started adding a "What went on here?" and other mini-FAQ after each tutorial section.

I would like to nominate Slyence, and DT, (even though i want it badly too xD) because they are both very active and are farily good modders.

About BSTRhino, I think that we should make him a moderator of the modding section, he won't have much time, but him being a mod will allow him to make sticked topics that will help us all.
I think if he doesn't want to moderate, you shouldn't force those powers upon him, and that you should make sure to tell him that he is under no preasure to carry out boring moderator stuff (such as locking newbish threads, etc).

Thats why you message a moderator to stickie it for him. And that is also why we have tutorials.

Slyence, BSTRhino, or DTBK
I don't care about if they have something preventing them from being it, they are perfect in all ways in my opinion.

Yeah, sorry guys, I need to get things off my plate, not on it. I haven't even posted a news post on StarCraft.org in a week, and I haven't made a move for the Starchitects for about ten. That makes me feel bad actually. I hope you guys know when to stop taking on responsibility because I can tell you from experience that you should learn that early...
What I really like to see in a modder-ator (I didn't come up with that) is someone who's really willing to take the time to teach someone why you do things certain ways, not just how you do them, because only if people understand the different parts of StarCraft and how they fit together can they truly learn to manipulate it. That's why I encourage you guys to ask questions about these things, because I hope to see people turn into real modders who can think, not textbook modders. That's why the perfect modder-ator to me would be someone who would be most interested to teach people about the why, not just the how.
I wish I could name a definitive name right now who would be the right person from my point of view, but I can't right now. DT_Battlekruser has done the most for the community, my main criticism is that I wish in your tutorials and descriptions there was more of an explanation of reasoning on why things need to be done. I mean, the goal is that we want every modder to be able to stand on their own two feet in the end, without the need of another modder to do the thinking for them. If you added that to what you are doing now, you would be a good candidate for the job.

I agree. Most people don't take the time to explain what something does. And they just tell them what do. Maybe explaining to them what is done by doing what you are doing, It will let them gain more knowledge. Instead of just trying to remember what to do, Or just keep looking back to the message to see what to.
I personally will re-write all of the tutorials in the tutorial data base, So it explains what it does, And how it works.

No they aren't. There is only one forum (excluding clan forums) that is moderated by more than one non-global mod/admin. Why the staff loves to plaster thier name all over the forums, don't ask me.
Sly>Yes, but why it works is harder to understand than simply what to do and can be too initmidating. It is better to do it afterwards and such.

Why do people capitalize the "z" so often?

Votes determine what the people want
, And what the people want, The people get.They capitilize it because "E" is capitalized, And they think to Capitalice the "z" too.

Common typo when you have CAPlowerCAP; they don't take their hands off of <SHIFT> before they hit the letter of the lowercase.

A lot of us know, probably including DT, that you were the 4th person to ever post. But you didn't stay around until now.
Now, if you have been here longer than DT, and you let everyone know that...then you might have more of a fighting chance.

WTF did you just say? That made no sense...
It's no because we like our names all over the place. It's because when someone reports a psot it'll send it to those people with their names on the forum before tha Global Mods.
If there is a person with name on Forum online, it sends it to him.
If there isn't, but there's a Global Modit sends to the Global Mod.
if none of them are online, I have no clue.
But you can bet that I rarely get any Reports
