Talk About Becoming a Mod

[Vell]

And I doubt I'd ever get a mod position again! Not only because of that incident but mostly because I'm just not active enough and don't look at enough places to make it worth it. Although I guess I'd check up on the reports often - but do people regularly use the report function? Either way.

Well, I don't think frequency of forum use has much to do with it, since I'm on every few hours, even at work, and yet: DigitalSoul != Moderator lolz    Anyways, I agree Blizz. Trolling is one thing, but it appears after my comment, things went downhill very fast there... I would also like to point out I wasn't taking sides. The flaming was unnecessary, but topic became locked by the next time I checked it, just a few hours later, so, I couldn't tell off a few other people too. Anyways, even what I said could be considered slightly over the line, depending how someone takes it, regardless of intention, so I would like to add, always be conscientious about what is being posted, and how someone could take it...

Well, see, I basically check the spam forum and the chat forums, and those already have mods so lol.

[PhoenixFire]

Oh, I check just about everything.. And one thing I learned having my own forum(s) is that you can never have enough mods well, technically you can, but, having a few extra people is always good, because it covers more time that people are online.. Like me, I'm on just about every other hour or so, to check on replies, new members, interesting posts, etc..

Blizz has an interesting way of picking mods.  He doesn't just pick them out of the blue, there has to be both an opportunity for a new mod and a good candidate.

[PhoenixFire]

Oh, i know that one.. Wasn't saying that he should make us all mods.. Sorry if that's how it sounded No, I was more along the lines referring to what Ulta said, as time being online doesn't have much to do with it.

There's periods of times when I'm not here for days or weeks at a time. I'm just not on regularly enough to warrant being a mod. There's also a variety of other reasons and - how did we get on this topic? It's rather irrelevant.

But no, yeah, if you feel lik eyou need a break for whatever time but can't hold yourself to it, just politely request a mod to ban you for a while. I did it all the time back before.

Yeah, definitely. It just hits me at one moment. e.g. I was reading some posts and I see a member helping out somebody yet again. Then I remember that this person was doing it quite often recently. Bam, there's a new mod. xD I rely on my instinct for that.

There should be an annual mod abuse day

I seriously can't remember how I ever got to be mod, let alone Global.

We call that April Fools day, or any time Blizzard decides to call us into the clubhouse for alcohol and debauchery.

Or do you mean members abusing the mods?

(Now that I think about it, when do we mods NOT abuse our power?)

[Vell]

members abusing the mods

Yupyup.

The enemy is gunning for you.

Be careful, star fox Mod team.

What like a day where we can flame the mods all we like with no fear of consequences? That sounds like fun. Except that I just promised to be a pacifist when it comes to flaming.

:derp:
