The "Why would you want to be a moderator" thread?

[Juliette]

Your comment is not worth a warning, Su.. for one, you are not talking about anyone in particular, and second, you are speaking so much in general that anyone in any environment would agree. This is true for all work environments, if you ask me.
So no warning. You're out of luck.
*grin*

Good points though. Consider who you would be working with.

Would you like to apply for the Su's "Sugermama" position?

My masochistic streak compelled me to apply.

back when we became mod, it was due to a decision by the admin of that age... our favorite section then had no mod, and got out of control... we and a few others bugged psi & company enough to make them see the need for a mod there... we got asked...

our reasons for still being a mod?
we like helping out
we like the community
we see it as our duty to spread our madness out on these forums...

we cant explain the other reasons we have... they have been classified by directive 45120.34024.19507

Being a mod is a commitment. A responsibility. If you can't separate yourself from your friends while doing the job, don't apply. Nobody wants biased mods.

Yes, some friends may have a go at you for modding them, but if they are adult & reasonable enough, and they really broke rules, they should admit it and not give you problems, instead, to try and improve their attitude...

Some people will curse you, blame you for being biased.

Don't expect to be praised, you can do an excellent work, and yet, you may get bashed anyways.

These are things to be expected while being a mod.

But, if you are fair and care about the community, and also accept the points above I mentioned, go ahead, and apply.

excellent wording, teal'auc... fits right in with the other good posts in this thread...

[Jim]

I love helping people , even if they dont ask for help and i get nothing back. Simple

Also, i wanna look in the mods section and see what they talk about

[semper]

I have no reason I would want to be a moderator. At times I have been quite friendly with most of the mods, I have been aware of about 99% of what goes in in the secret forums.. and I seem to have enough pull to be able to 'access' any areas I might need at a given point so long as my reason is reasonable.

I have long since been gifted with a personal colour.. so all in all the only reasons I could see for being a mod are those of power. Although.. I am probably considered to be 'too dangerous' to be given such power. On the other hand.. I have never applied and never bothered to chase it up to find out. I would only ever be a GM though. I would not accept a 'lower' position, nor would I ask to do more work. (An admin would have to ask me to be a mod.. lol I wont hold my breath though).

I also mod the debate section, although it very rarely requires any modding at all so I acknowledge my mod position in there external too it at my discretion and convenience (obviously this does not reflect my actual level of activity in the section).

I would suggest any newbie would want to be a mod as it's a good way to start taking steps up from the bottom of the social food chain.

Probably the most egotistical post of yours I have ever read. I lol'd. Some of it's good advice though

egotistical is what we do... although is stating truth egotistical? Usually confused for that...

Now that would be interesting to read. Why the community thinks we are mods
