Do the mods ever appoint tl4s?

[LlamaLady22]

the discourse is a platform that they’re using, but they dont use the tl4 feature anymore. they tried once with wolftech, but they thought it had more disadvantages than advantages so they de-promoted him.

cough i wish cough

[Kosm0-o]

WolfTech got appointed tl4 for some reason. Otherwise, no.

[adagio_sostenuto]

ok no bugging me about a solution I can’t do it know because I am very busy and have to get back to what I am doing

[Unit_72]

Yes, actually…

[Godatbedwars]

Here’s a essay from black hole

@Blackhole927

I think there’s a pretty obvious solution: TL4.

I know that the last time we had a TL4, jeffo got a lot of messages about people wanting TL4, or not wanting wolf as TL4, but let me explain why TL4 is a good idea, and why it was a bad idea previously, in case jeffo is reading.

To start, why did Wolf’s elevation to TL4 cause messages to be sent to Jeff? It’s pretty simple. Wolf should not have been picked for TL4. Here is why:
Wolf was a newer user. When he got TL4 instead of an older user, it made it seem much easier to get TL4, and so people started asking. In comparison, moderators in the gimkit discord have been in the server for over a year, putting the position at a much less obtainable appearance, thus reducing requests of people asking for mod. The selection of an older member, like NavyCatZ, or mysz would have prevented this, since most people would associate their longer time spent here and massive fame with a difficult to obtain position.

To be clear, I’m not saying wolf was a bad TL4, I’m saying that because he was a newer user, the pedestal of TL4 was lowered and increased spam to the mods.

Now, why is it a good idea to bring back TL4? Well, it’s pretty simple: Jeffo doesn’t have time to spend on the forums, and the forums are needing more and more of his time. In fact, there is even a precedent for adding TL4: the gimkit discord. The discord server is entirely community moderated, and gimkit team rarely has to do any moderation actions there. This removal of forum time from jeffo and addition of moderation to the forums is a win-win!

A few suggestions about bringing back TL4:
If a TL4 is picked, make sure they’re a user who can spend plenty of time on the forums without it impacting their academic learning.
The TL4 should probably be an older forum user (maybe 5 months at least?)
It should probably be clarified that more TL4s will be added when it is deemed necessary by the team, so don’t bother asking.
An idea might be to run a community poll, since those would most accurately reflect some of the best candidates. A poll has been run before, and from the results it was pretty well agreed that the most voted people would make great TL4s.

To be clear, and to prove I don’t have bias, I don’t want TL4. I do care a lot about the forums though, and that’s why I wrote this.

Hope this helped?

Trust level four aka junior moderator.

[Moyai]

Also this doesn’t really have anything to do with gkc so it’s off topic
Ik you said not to bother you but PLEASE mark a solution already.

[Godatbedwars]

oh thanks for telling me

[FersionSpeedy]

While most forums do appoint TL4, the mods here doesn’t. I’ve heard before that TL4 is too overpowered for someone to get. Later on October they gave Wolftech TL4 as an expieriment but instead of getting good things, they got:

• Messages from random people saying how to get TL4
• More flags then expected (Mods usually get 6-10K flags)

So they demoted wolf back to TL3. I don’t think there will be anyway due to the protests.

Please put a solution, there have already been some answers to this question.

[adagio_sostenuto]

[FersionSpeedy]

Why did you respond with “Yes Sir”?

[THEHACKER120]

…
Did you seriously reply on a topic that was about to close just to claim your “ownership” to the term “junior moderator”?

[wingwave]

our new leader??? :0

@LlamaLady22 is discord an option for ya? there’s some real civilized gimkitters there

[getrithekd]

Bro the point is that you shouldn’t just claim ownership to a term this universal. That’s… just cringe, unnecessary, and immature.

[Toothless]

This is getting off topic, it has already been resolved, please stop and leave this topic if you don’t have anything else to say related to this.

What’s your evidence that I stole it?
