With the goal of integrating everything I think "site staff" is pretty ambiguous. It's OK right now since everyone considers the site a separate thing but it'll just be confusing once we combine everything. Resource Mod isn't really a name I'm Happy with, it's certainly not a very interesting one, but if we name all the moderator positions like that it gives it a bit of consistency. Resource Mod Wiki Mod Forum Mod Comments Mod Discord Mod Backseat Mod etc. |

My stance is in line with Pedigree since I did suggest the idea of QC taking a role of content curators on the official MFGG Discord, which i will add on to the idea that curated content should be front page on either a per-monthly basis decided amongst the QC themselves or alternatively you could have users nominate content for the QC to consider for curation like what SMWC does for its SMW hacks which im hoping that the curated content be at the front page for everyone to see assuming the mainsite becomes more like NCFC...being a gallery to showcase what you do. |

If you want to split hairs, "Site Staff" refers to Quality Control staffers (who can approve and decline queued submissions on the mainsite), comment mods (who can moderate comments on the mainsite), and mainsite admins (who can promote new Site Staff members, add new categories, and change other core settings, besides being able to do everything that QC and comment mods can do). I agree that the current terminology could be confusing to some people, and there might be a better term for QC staff. |

That just makes me wish MFGG had SMWC's type of moderation for games in general (with the rejection logs and everything). Nice to see a site where games have to pass a minimum quality standard in terms of game design. Wish the likes of Steam did that. But yeah, I feel quality control should mostly focus on making sure that the resources are usable. So for games, they should make sure the title:
As for graphics... I'd say the rules should be as follows:
** With the rules being: Enemies: Has at least two frames, assuming it walks or flies. Characters: Has enough actions for walking/running, jumping and maybe swimming Tilesets/Objects: Contains tiles for all sides of an object (four corners, four sides, one fill tile), slope tiles (at least going down to the left/right) as well as at least two decorations that can be placed in the level to make it look more interesting. That should probably cover everything I think. |

Yeah I want to put extra emphasis on making sure our files are malware free and generally safe. I was talking to someone on another fangame community about MFGG and they told me they remember a download from it giving them a virus years ago and they never looked back. We really want to make sure we don't get a reputation like that! |
