The current "situation" of the staff

So I wanted to make a topic about the current "situation" of the staff on Fakku since I don't know how many of you actually have noticed.

So to begin with, the Staff of Fakku has become smaller than it used to be, Mike, Matt, TheDarkStarAlchemist, Nikon and Raze all left in some way as far as I know. I know Raze quit, we also had Waar quit because of reasons already discussed, I heard Nikon stopped being an admin but I'm not all that up to date with the current situation on that, TDSA has been inactive for 6 months and I heard Matt banned himself. Kenjugs barely visits and Jacob has other things to do than be on Fakku all the time.

That leaves us with Sindalf, Tegumi, Kaimax, Flaser, Gambler and Tsujoi, for a site with the size that Fakku has I don't really know if that is enough staff members. Keep in mind these are the people that I see do work the most, Jacob might as well be fixing everything when I'm not watching but that's not the important part.

So what do you guys think about all this? There are still some things I don't know since I'm not part of the staff and the only real connection I have to it is Sindalf and (formerly) Waar, but at the same time I think this is pretty bad, having many of the so called important people leave Fakku just like that. I would like to know what some people in the staff think about this too, atleast the staff members that are still active.

I know a friend of mine would like more mods but in my opinion that's all up to the staff, I just want to raise awareness of how things seem to be right now.

Like China Tegumi shall be a rising dragon that will soon take over.

There can always be people doing things from "the shadows"
We don't have to know someone for him/her to be an admin/moderator.

It's going to take something big for things on Fakku to change so until then we just have to endure.

We have Sindalf.


Jacob seems to not have enough time for Fakku all in all either way.

Besides the number of admins/mods quitting, leaving, or inactive it's surprising that Jacob has not realized that things on Fakku truly are bad.

The people in red have never been active at least not here in IB so whateves!

The thing is, as I stated earlier he barely has time so I think he knows but just can't deal with it right now.


That is besides the point, the problem is that they aren't here on Fakku anymore.

Almost feels like Tegumi is losing interest in moderating but that might be just me over thinking things.

Simon for global mod

Daijoubu, daijoubu. As long as Gambler's here, he can handle all of fakku alone. Guy's a supernatural mod.

I never abuse any sort of power that I get unless it's for fun and the user I do it to knows the drill, so it could work but the problem would be to actually become one since Jacob doesn't know me that well.


I don't know mang, as far as I know she has always been this way.


He can't handle all of it alone.

I think any or all future mods we'll see are people who Jacob gets to know IRL, and gets to trust them.

I believe you know that too. I'm not exactly against you or anyone becoming a mod here either, just clarifying in regards to my previous post.

That said, about Gambler, the guy is just too busy nowadays. Haven't chatted with him in ages.

The thing is, that is how things used to be, as far as I know he doesn't really know Sindalf that well but he still trusts him, much like with Waar.


After the last hacking incident, which was quite some time ago, I sincerely hope that is how he will do things but that he will also realize that we need a bit more mods.

And yes, Gambler is quite busy these days which is a shame but Fakku shouldn't be his #1 priority since it doesn't pay him or anything, Fakku is just a side thing.

He's too nice. His method of dealing with situations aren't always the most appropriate ones.

What are the chances that Jacob will get the chance to know anyone and get to trust that user at this point? He *is* a really busy person nowadays.



I think he did realize... but is just too busy or lazy to actually do something about it.

There really isn't a need for that much more staff. They don't really scour the forums for trolls or situations that need their attention. Since fakku has a report feature, the collective community counts as a mod itself.

And if you find yourself rarely using it to report issues and troll posts, then you shouldn't consider yourself a potential mod. Users without any real interest in the community make for poor mods who are only interested in the title.

He can ask the current mods. I bet Tegumi, Tsujoi and Waar has some suggestions on future potential mods.

Waar has mentioned before that he does have suggestions.
