Moderators in general
- We (...I) are certainly working on more ways to reduce the workload of moderators by means of a simpler ban appeal system, easier to use logblock, improvements to the ticket system my mod provides, and ways to passively reduce the amount of griefing. It is my opinion that a "perfect" server is one that moderates itself. It's my goal to get as close to that as possible by means of making things easier for all parties involved (both the ones receiving moderation and those who are being moderated). Such a system is a long way off.
To answer your point more directly: Moderator's shouldn't be the one-stop-shop when it comes to being helped in-game or out of game. They are, in ways, the simplest solution to the problem. And I am not a believer in Occams' razer. Less emphasis on manual moderation = better.

"More Mods"
I understand that my previous point is, as I said, a long way off. I do actually agree with the point that we need more mods. We could slap a moderator badge on just about any casual member here and they'd at least try to do the job. Most would probably do the job quite well. More mods does, however, become difficult to manage. Quality assurance is important when it comes to mods, and I think Nick and Relkeb could potentially loosen it up a bit, just until we get some more automated moderation techniques in place. We're currently burning through our mods simply because they don't enjoy the workload they receive. A "Moderator badge" wouldn't really solve that, it would just be a band aid.
Hopefully you can see my opinion on the whole moderator thing.

I do agree that a Moderator Badge system would be a band-aid, however, at the moment, with the workload that our current mods have, it could be a good temporary fix until we can get more mods, as well as more of the trusted members to potentially assist with some of the moderators jobs (such as placing water).
In that same vein, deject3d, have you considered making your mod available to some of the trusted members. I believe that this could potentially help to lessen the workload for the mods in regards to placing water.

I've been in mumble for a few weeks now and have talked to the mods on, generally in the morning, and they all say the same thing. Most of the grief happens while the player that is griefed is asleep. And when they log on in the morning, their place have been griefed, and they call on the mods to fix it.
A good idea, is to establish temp. mods, or players (Trusted) that are allowed to help remove the workload of mods, during peak hours for grief reports. Then, when it is over (the amount of grief reported is almost diminshed), the players are returned to their former rank.

So a temp nod position that goes away when they logout like classic

Not when they log out but when the grief reports go down. Otherwise, if I was trusted (like some others), they would just stay logged in and be a mod forever (until their Minecraft crashed).

By giving my reasons for dismissing his points, I am continuing the discussion.
