Brainstorming

I mentioned it earlier already, but I feel the need to do it again here.

There should definately be a rule that newbies aren't allowed in the moderator team, untill they have been on MLK for at least a whole year. To me, and probally many others as well, it would be quite annoying to have newbies playing police-officer on members who have been on the forum way longer, and besides that, know the Forum alot better as well then they do.

Looking at what just happend recently, I know whitout doubt that this rule would keep MLK alot safer, and prevent the same crap from happening again.

Bin Laden caused 9/11, all muslims are terrorists
Putin rules Russia, all Russians are commies
Stalin killed a lot of people, all atheists have no morals

and of course
Noah screwed it up, all people who haven't been here for a year can't be a mod

We don't need more generalizations in this world. Judge by words and actions, not by physical factors.
It's not about days, years or decades, It's about keeping this website running smoothly.
This one time thing does not prove people who haven't been here for a year can't mod. It proves that people with social issues can't mod.

Yea you may have a point there, but still allowing new members to become mods shortly after they joined and somehow ''earned'' everyone's trust very quick, could result in the same mistake again. Maybe not all newbies would be bad mods, but we should learn from our mistakes and do ANYTHING not to make the same mistake twice.

only after like a year could you be fully sure if the new MLK member would be power-hungry or having any bad intensions to the forum or not.

If someone presents themselves really nice and you don't see they are playing nice or lying (because this is the internet) you will still have problems. Social issues of people have nothing to do with the amount of time you spent here. If a person undergoes a change when he is a mod and that causes issues, that's not the fault of the one who chose the mod nor can you prevent it by a rule. It is unpredicatable, no matter how nice someone presents themselves. I get your point ''don't get morons on the team'' and I agree but they won't get chosen anyway if they present themselves like morons XD
