Power distribution.

I hope the power distribution here isn't "lol 1 clan member from each clan gets to be mod" because to make a long story short, it is not how it should be done.

The people who have actually worked hard and made this site what it is should be Admin, and that's only if they contributed a decent amount. If you feel you require additional moderators, then promote those you deem worthy. I am not using any names because I still don't know who is who here but I feel this is the way it should be done to avoid corruption.

Good point, but the Admins can always take away powers just as they give. I don't really see why you need mods in the clan sub-forums anyway if you have an admin taking over.

The clan forums get local mods that can only act in their forums, and only if the clan wants them.  That allows them to handle their own stickies, and make their own policies about what gets posted there.  It's a pretty cool feature actually.

yeah don't worry NDS.  We are transparent here so nothing to hide.  We are by the gamer for the gamer.   All of those involved with WiiUnite were the result of a vote on gamefaqs months ago.  As the top vote getter, I joined fortunz in trying to get this started.  We invited several from the list of those who got votes who we personally thought would be a big help and would do a good job as mods.  The ultimate plan was to take those nominations and after the site creation process, they would become moderators of this site.  We did try to get a cross section of the major clans so no one would feel like their clan had no say, but ultimately that is impossible.  Obviously not everyone invited got wholely involved and as a result they are not moderators right now.  For now we have a team of moderators of very deserving individuals who have represented their clans and wii unite well and are doing a great job.  We have rules in place for moderators and also procedures for decision making amongst admins and mods.  If the need arises we will add additional staff as needed, and decisions will be made according to who will do a good job and maintain all that WiiUnite stands for.

"yeah don't worry NDS.  We are transparent here so nothing to hide.  We are by the gamer for the gamer.   All of those involved with WiiUnite were the result of a vote on gamefaqs months ago."  Well on this part I wonder how many of the clans that have formed since then were represented? since you used an old vote to determine who is an admin or other management of this site.

"We invited several from the list of those who got votes who we personally thought would be a big help and would do a good job as mods.  The ultimate plan was to take those nominations and after the site creation process, they would become moderators of this site."  So as I said Who's represented, are they just some of the mods from the older clans? Do any represent clans that are now gone? 

"We did try to get a cross section of the major clans so no one would feel like their clan had no say, but ultimately that is impossible."  But if you missed some clans, and there are several that are not in any trouble, and are strong, yet they were not contacted at all. 

"Obviously not everyone invited got wholely involved and as a result they are not moderators right now."  So when they weren't interested, why werent some representatives from other clans contacted when those individuals declined? 

"For now we have a team of moderators of very deserving individuals who have represented their clans and wii unite well and are doing a great job.  We have rules in place for moderators and also procedures for decision making amongst admins and mods.  If the need arises we will add additional staff as needed, and decisions will be made according to who will do a good job and maintain all that WiiUnite stands for."  Ok I agree with this portion as you need people to keep the peace and nomatter who comes in here, order must be kept. 

I just wonder how many active clans were represented in the making of the site, because since that vote took place many people have come and gone from the Wii online gaming community, and holding onto the old guard could be constrewd as the good ole boy system,  How many total people voted in that vote? And what percentage of the Wii Gaming community did this truly represent?

Don't worry I am not going to pursue this any further than these questions here, as it is your site, and I do respect other's sites.  I just think these are questions that others are thinking of but haven't asked.

Thank you

Everyone was given AMPLE opportunity to vote.  To me, that's what is important.  Voting threads were kept open and bumped for a full month and a half.  Notice was also posted more than once at the ea forums.

Anyone who failed to take advantage of the opportunity to have their say has only themselves to blame.  Decisions are made by the people who show up.

Although not every single everybody got to make initial decisions, EVERY effort has been made to keep this as a community effort run to promote and serve the community, and I have every confidence that it will continue to be well into the future.  Even now, as the community provides input, the administration has been quick to respond.  They can't do everything immediately, but they've done well, and I expect WiiUnite to make a good home for the community.

Actually Daddy I don't know that that many people are wondering these things.  Fortunz had a great idea to create a website and he recruited in a way he felt was appropriate to get the job done.  Ultimately clan affiliation is irrelevant to running this site.  While our staff does consist of members of many different ACTIVE gaming clans, that doesn't matter.  Ultimately, in creation of a site there didn't need to be a vote, but fortunz thought people would appreciate having input.  Plus I was clanless when we started this process so clans have nothing to do with it.  This isn't some kind of government to rule over any people, but rather a labor of love by several gamers with a common goal.  Please don't make it any more than it is.  We are trying to provide a forum for gamers and that is all.

Hey daddy!  I should have stopped here first.  I just replied to your EA post, then saw that you already registered here.

No one was intentionally excluded from the development.  No one will be excluded in the future.

It really wasn't a clan thing. fortunz posted a thread on GF for people to vote for mods or admins for a new site. The overall goal was to make it more clan-friendly than GF, yet still a user friendly site for Wii gamers.

I received a vote, and thought nothing of it.  Then fortunz personally contacted me and asked if I wanted to help.  I agreed because it was a great bunch of people participating, and I loved the idea of a site run by Wii gamers, and for Wii gamers.  (Oh, and I'm not in a clan.)

After a lot of effort by quite a few people, WiiUnite was born.  Despite all the effort by fortunz, he completely refused to be an admin or even a mod.  We all tried to change his mind, but he feels the integrity of the site will be greater if he steps down and "hands over the keys" to the community.

Your name actually came up in recent discussions.  We were all hoping that you would register here.  Also, if you want TM to have their own board here, all you need to do is ask. You can even mod (or assign a mod to) your own clan's board.

Glad you made it!

Fortunz I was simply talking about others who came into the game and the EA site after your vote, and yes I am part of that as I came in just as you were voting and didn't know enough to feel comfortable voting.  I am always concerned about those excluded, so please don't go to the vanity thing Ohio.

Your right. I miss-read it.  I understood that you were making a site by gamers and clan members for gamers and clan members.  But Bman gave me a reasonable answer in the EA responce, made sense and was to the point.

My bad I am not trying to make more of it, I simply misunderstood the way it was created.  As far as a TM board here, you are welcome to link us somewhere, but I have no interest in having two sites, as we have our own forums that are used frequently by our members.

I would come by now and then to see what is new, but I may be more trouble than it's worth, (I just don't know when to quit). I  think I will just stick to EA. and whatever forum that comes up for the upcoming games, hopefully not GF's.

LOL I guess that bumps me from the OG's as well, since it appears they will be listed here.  Well it was a good run, thanks for the laughs.

Cya

And Good luck with the site.

Well Daddy, we would love to have you around this site.  Thanks for signing up and we hope that WiiUnite might be the site you come to for future games instead of gamefaqs (or anywhere else).  You are always welcome to use our forums for discussing games and organizing matches for your clan.  Hope you stick around.

> As far as a TM board here, you are welcome to link us somewhere, but I have no interest in having two sites, as we have our own forums that are used frequently by our members.

No one needs to have one, but the advantage isn't to having a place here for your clan to chat with each other (all the clans have that already), but rather to have a point of contact from which to recruit WiiUnite members, and inside of which you can have your own policies, post whatever links you think are important without having to request admin assistance (since you can have clan members made into moderators to post and sticky and remove information), without forcing users to register somewhere else before they get their questions answered.

I anticipate in the future, WiiUnite will be THE place to come to find a clan and to communicate/battle with other clans.  That makes it prime territory for recruitment, much the way gamefaqs was in the early days of mohh2.  So many forums, including gamefaqs, have a hostile attitude towards highly competitive activity.  WiiUnite is different because it's encouraged and aided here.

If you ever change your mind, your clan is always welcome to apply for it's space.

I hope WiiUnite can be a benefit to you in your clan in whatever ways you decide to use it.  Glad you're here.

@ BadDaddy

Oh no...you're not getting out that easy.  OGs will be posted on the EA boards, too.  You and Cutie better keep coming.
