[BLueSS]

Right now, I'm the only global admin/moderator on the site. The site started out as Cynic and I being co-admins, but he left the scene a long while ago.

Anyway, I don't have time anymore to do all of the moderating myself. I want to open 2 mod positions for all of the forums. The can help move/edit/lock threads and or posts as needed. This is not a very demanding position, as the forums here are fairly self-sufficient.

Here's how it'll work:
1) Post in this thread your interest by Midnight on the 11th. Feel free to list any reasons why you'd make a great mod for the community.
2) The community will vote the week following from the pool of interested people. You will be allowed to vote for as many people as you'd like. If you think 3 of the 5 people would make a good mod, you should vote for all 3. Votes will be by PM to me.

CONDITIONS:
- At least 12 people must vote. Entrants can vote, but cannot vote for themselves.
- At least 4 people must apply to become a mod.
- Only accounts that were created as of 2/7/2011 can vote, and only if they have 5 posts before that time.
- Winners determined by top # of votes.
- Winners MUST get at least 60% support to win, meaning at least 60% of the voters must have voted for the winner. If nobody gets 60%, I'll lower it to 51%.

If the conditions above do not get met, I will continue to moderate the forums by myself until I appoint someone to help me.

So, any applicants?  

EDIT: POLL OVER - View Page 3 for Results

[Laura]

Sure, I'll bite.  I think I'd make a good mod because:

1. I'm a student, which means I have tons of free time to patrol the forums.

2. I've been a member of this site since its inception and a member of various Pacific Northwest Bemani communities for nine years, which I believe shows dedication.

3. Despite this recent round of drama, you all know I can be fair, because I've run several local DDR and Air Hockey tournaments, as well as the Sakuracon arcade.

4. I promise to humiliate trolls in funny ways.

[Dr.Z]

I would be up for volunteering mod services.

qualifications:
3 years of mod experience for a game site with a fairly high amount of site traffic.
-Mostly oversee the chat system and restrict scammers/harassers
[www.theninja-rpg.com] username: Zakuri

Before that, I was a mod & eventually admin for a couple years for a lesser known game that lost its coder.
[www.r-fate.com]
This one can't really be confirmed at this point, but that's where I had experience monitoring the forums as well.


Community-wise, I don't have nearly the same kind of history as Laura, but I have been around long enough to recall the machines at Illusionz in Issaquah. I know about half of the regular active posters and believe I can fulfill the duties.

[ancsik]

I'm in.

I would make a good mod because: I would.

Honestly, the latest bout of arguments demonstrate the reasons well: despite things getting very heated and occasionally personal, I tried to hold to general fairness to everyone involved and get people to recognize the sheer uselessness of personal attacks.  I responded directly to people who were being counterproductive, but avoided baiting.  I also hold generally to the idea that I'm not necessarily right and try to provide actual justification for my opinions, and seem to one of the only people willing to do either.

[Suko]

Um, I frequent this forum probably more than anyone else...except possibly Laura. I've been here since the beginning. I'm an asshole understanding gentleman with a passion for the game.

And I make four, so lets all make sure Laura wins! Whoooooooooooo!

[Laura]

And I make four, so lets all make sure Laura wins! Whoooooooooooo!

...I legitimately was not expecting that.  I'm flattered!  

Edit: Also, if I become a mod, I promise to change my name back to "Laura," or something else reasonable that isn't "Stamina McDragonforce."

[NekoSempai]

Stamina McDragonforce is an awesome name tough.  I'm def entering a tourney this weekend as Stamina McBrute.


I'm too green in this community to petition to be a mod imo, but I have an idea of who i'd vote for.

[Suko]

I suppose I'm just a believer in seniority earning positions of importance. Of course, only so long as it's not gifting said position to an incompetent twot.

Edit: I also suggest we have the option to boot any assistant admin if they start having a power trip. Simple enough, if you (BluesS) get enough complaints, you run an election for a new assistant admin.

[Rainault]

I would make a kickass mod, because I barely meet the five post requirement as of the 2/7 deadline. Woohoo!

Just kidding, of course. I'd make a terrible mod. I'll be sure to throw in my votes, though.

[BLueSS]

Yep, that's part of the deal. Being a mod isn't a permanent status and can be revoked under a few conditions. The goal though is to pick people who we won't have problems with.

[8ftmetalhead]

I could put my name in, although that's only if noone else makes the cut.
Student, previous mod, blah blah blah. Fair and understanding, etc etc.
Obvious problems involve me being in NZ and stuff. Other than that though, cool as. Might be useful for any nighttime spam though (previous site occasionally got hit at night in the US, I was always on lol)

But aside from anything else, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SUKO MUST BE A MOD.

[Suko]

Thanks for the support, mate.

Let's see how the people vote after my mudslinging campaign against Laura.

OH YEAH?? Well I have it on good authority that Suko is a poopyhead, so there! 

[KevinDDR]

I'll put my name out there for the position.

Reasons I would be a good mod:
- I've played these damn games for about 10 years now. Ridiculous! I've been with the community since the very first Illusionz days (I know, I know, Gameworks had DDR first)
- I go to arcades multiple times a week. I'll continue to go to arcades multiple times a week! I also note the condition of EVERY machine in an arcade when I go, so I can keep things updated.
- I've run tournaments in the past! This means that I care about the community!
- I have nothing better to do with my life than check the forums every hour or so.
- I have OCD and like organizing things.

[Laura]

- I have OCD and like organizing things.

...Oh shit, this is a qualification?  Add that to my list too, then.

[pantsuuuu]

Zeppy for mod 2011

[Laura]

Zeppy for mod 2011

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*breathes in*AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

If I didn't love our forums so much, I'd vote yes just to see what happens

[BLueSS]

It looks like we have 6 candidates to vote for.

Laura
Dr.Z
Anscik
Suko
KevinDDR
8ftmetalhead


Vote by PMing me anything this week. The poll ends a week from This Post.

VOTE FOR AS MANY AS YOU WANT. If you think several people will be good, vote for them all. Each vote is worth 1 point.

[BLueSS]

WE NEED 12 PEOPLE TO VOTE.

Only 6 have so far!

[pantsuuuu]

im not voting but i have a question.  who is 8ftmetalhead?

[BLueSS]

Read page 1 of this thread or search his username.

[Gerrak]

People running for these mod positions should really be aware that people are gonna get pissed off if you abuse your privileges or neglect your observations. That means not banning people at the first sign that they disagree with you. And I call out admins (or any authority) for being (in my opinion) retarded, or abusing their power, or whatever. BlueSS has been very fair with me on these forums, even though I've taken stabs at him before, and hence is a very good admin. I expect the same fair treatment from any mod.

[Suko]

WE NEED 12 PEOPLE TO VOTE.

Let me guess, all of them are those running for election? =D

[neempoppa]

Completely agree with Gerrak.

Not all i sent in vote and I'm not running for it.

[ancsik]

Let me guess, all of them are those running for election? =D

No, I haven't gotten around to it yet.  I should do that now.
