Now, i've been wondering, since I spoke to "Wolf.250" on the French site, she told that she was an admin on the French forum, witch gave me this idea, why cant steet elect a site Administrator? Now as far as i'm told, that steet is the only one with Admin powers on the main site, and to be honest, steet is not on 24/7, he is actually only online too me once every two days. Witch in the mean time bugs could of occurred, and Mods could be in need of help (Like I troll constantly flaiming in the Banned box). Now I would like to know what YOU think. Because I feel it could produce new idea's too the site and forum, insted of steets idea's, the Admin may be able too do something steet would never evan dream of; well, thats just my view, whats yours?

(Please don't flaim this topic saying "Oh this is a stupid Topic, Blah Blah Blah" Thanks)

Steet might not be on 24/7,but IMHO,he's quite capable of handling the forum,and the site.

Well, if trolls flame in the banned box, no one cares. Lol They're basically barking in the dark...

As for an admin for the main site...I don't think so. At least not for now. If Steet comes on every two days I think that's quite enough...But in the end, it's Steet's decision, not ours.

There aren't that many serious bugs on the site anyway. If there was, two days isn't that long of a wait anyway.

But this could also produce new idea's I mean, steet's no the best person in the world and coding and HTML, and he is Limited, say with a new admin, it could produce new codes and say new styles that steet would never evan think of.

Wolf.250 is admin, but that was only to give her access to the forum admin in case of trouble.
I would say that most of the time, bugs appear when I'm here, not the other way round (because as soon as I modify something in the site code, I can break another thing)
Anyway, no, that's not possible. Because I would need someone that I can trust very much (because I would need to give access to everything), someone that has a enough free time, AND that have a good experience with programming languages and databases. (as I use php / MySQL). AND I would need to give him a lot of lessons on how the site works, because even the more experienced programmers can't understand everything so quickly, and because most comments in the site code are in french or there aren't at all. (but I'm progressively translating and adding comments in english)
In fact, I believe it would be more trouble than anything else (because that person could potentially break everything)

Actually, that last bit has a point, but it COULD be a good idea, I mean, don't you have a backup system?

Well, dude, I have to agree with Steet there...I mean if Steet were to hire someone he would have to REALLY trust that person...Balto source is a fairly popular and large site...So, if he accidentally hired some wack-job who's out to mess with the site...It could ruin all the work he's put into this site.

I think he could trust someone like, Wolf.250, Zekee, UK or evan Ultima (SInce I heard he's kinda good at coding), and I doubt very much they would mess the site.

Well, I would trust them with the job too I suppose...But that's not the point, Steet basically just said he didn't want~need one at the moment anyways.

Bt my point is, he could get suprised if he elects one, you never know.

Exactly, you never know. He might just be surprised in a bad way...

Why are you even debating this? He just said he didn't want~need one anyway =P

I have to agree with, steet. It would be the worst thing ever if this place was messed up.

Like Steet said, the person who acquired that position would have to be very trustworthy as well as skilled. Also, you really shouldn't continue to debate whether or not he needs to appoint another administrator. By doing that, you will make people think that the whole point of this topic was to suggest yourself to be put in the supposed position. :wink: (Which is not a good idea since quite a few people already believe you are power-hungry.)


At that last few sentances. I wouldn't evan aplly for the admin job, I know, it would be too much, i'm not really that good at French, I can barelly code in English, let alone French, so how would I go for the job? Some people would, and than relise they are rubbish at it, that what probably would happen to me if I said yes in what your saying.

Anyway, onto subject, yes, they must be trustworthey, but I feel that there are some people steet COULD trust, but if he is worried that much, maybe just gve them more and more rights as the days go on. But it's steet's choise, i'm just saying thats what I would do.
