And so it begins...

The official, new election for the user-selected moderator.

If you weren't with us the last time around, this election is an opportunity for the members of GameTavern to run for and choose our next temporary moderator. The usual term lasts for a minimum of four months.

Dylflon has served the first term for us and has done a wonderful job. I would like to thank him for his allegiance to our forums and for putting in the time and work needed to make this place great.

Who Can Become a Moderator?

A registered user assigned by an administrator after being voted in by the people of the community.

What Does a Moderator Do?

A moderator is given the authority to edit posts and move, delete and close topics in a forum in accordance with the forums rules. (http://www.gametavern.net/forums/showthread.php?t=753) In addition, it would be appreciated if he or she would promote discussion and threads for his or her assigned forums. He or she is expected to tend daily to these duties.

How is the Moderator Chosen?

After all applications are received, an initial poll will be held in which the four top voted contestants will be determined. After that, a second poll will be held featuring only the top four runners, and from this the final winner will be selected. Any registered user is eligible to vote and run for the position. Please note, that cheating is not accepted and while your vote will remain anonymous, any suspicious activity such as fake accounts can and will be investigated by the staff.

How Do I Apply?

If you're interested in becoming the next user-selected moderator, simply state so within this thread. Remember, it is the community who will decide your fate, not the staff, thus it is called the user-selected moderator. While it is not necessary, you may wish to include a written speech in your post. Your post could be the deciding factor for whether someone votes for you or not. Campaign signatures are allowed but may not exceed the standard signature limits. Use of doubloons and/or reputation within your campaign is prohibited. A candidate should be judged by his character rather than his pocketbook.

The deadline for submitting your applications within this thread is a week from now: Tuesday March 15. 2005

Good luck and have fun!

Add my name to the list across from the most eligable man. I'd like a few dimpled chads in my favor.

Thanks for the nomination (why??), but I can't be a moderator. I don't have the time. Been there, done that... :)

I've always wanted to be a moderator and I've thought I would enjoy it, but I don't think I have the time or the drive to be successful at it around here.

I'd be very interested in this, but I'm not going to be anywhere near a computer for the most of the summer, so I think it is no use for me to apply.

I'm going to run as GT's "Working Mother's" candidate.

No seriously. I'm in.

I'd also like to make the point that I've been a moderator at a popular gaming site before, so I have work experience.

I used to mod......at this one forum, and it was fun. But it wouldn't be fun here, because there is nothing to mod. With the censorship of swear words, and the regulars that know how to act, you don't have to do that much modding.

Let's see if I can make up for last time.

This thread should be stickied to give all members the opportunity to read it.

It is, it just kind of gets lost up there with the other stickied threads. But I guarantee that if you look hard and trust in you heart, you will find it stickied in the Happy Hour forum.

Um...I'll reapply, I guess.

But trust me, this job requires a lot of lurking. Even in threads you don't want to read. Looking for abuse. It's not that hard though because the community is very well behaved.

Good luck to all candidates. And I must say it has been fun serving as your user selected moderator.

Perfect Stu, one the most physically abusive moderators in GameTavern history will not apply in this situation.

I would receive no votes, wouldnt have quite enough time, and I think somebody fresh and new deserves an opportunity.

And for the record...for those who ARE running...my vote CAN and WILL be won over by bribes :deal:
