back in the day when halomods layout was still a black kind of coloor, there were arbiters and other special rankings. I just wanted to know why they got rid of them?

Arbiters were Mods in training, once all the mod slots were filled they didnt need any trainees. and the guardians were never restored cuz the admins got lazy mb?

and the color was dark blue....

The reason why Yomamas sites are still up its cause he doesn't have to pay for them

then again, what site chooses admins and mods based on ability? expecially in the beginning, sites are in a rush for some infrastructure so basicly, they choose who they trust.

Same here. Surprisignly guys, I wasnt chosen for Admin immidiatly. I worked my way up to get here. It took a while, and takes alot of effort.

The reason arbiters are gone is, we have enough moderators. We dont need any more. In the future it may return.

I'll see about getting guardians back up. They were taken away because the orginal plan called for emblems here on forums. So no need for a special rank. I_F didnt want to do more than the files forums though...

Me too. I was pretty surprised when I became an arbiter though.

I wouldn't mind having Guardian back; in a way it helps our members become more mature.

with users aiming for guardian, they will help other users more
