GT Mod Sign-Up

[BreakABone]

Bare with me, pretty new to this all so didn't know couldn't respond to an announcement thread.

But for anyone who is actually interested in being a mod, just let your intents be known here.

And at a later date, shall detail how this whole mess shall work.

And don't worry if not the most active poster or if you are relatively new. Sign-up is open to every and anyone who has an interest.

I'm interested so let me know when more deets are posted.

If you open up a comics board I'd be happy to mod it.

Credentials:
Modded at Nintendose and most of gekko's sites...almost a decade ago.

[KillerGremlin]

If you give me an official measure of the winkie I'll consider volunteering to pretend to want to sign up.

[uber_paddler]

Sure, why not?

[Fox 6]

count me in.

Serious suggestion: since moderators around here have pretty much become a joke position, you should wait a few days and only give the mod position to somebody who does NOT say they want it.

And I'd like to be a mod.

[Keatonmr]

Count me in

[Dylflon]

I nominate someone who has been here for a substantial amount of time.

I have modded here before and would do it again if you wanted me to.

What perks does the position have?

Its a good thing you asked.

I really don't know, a sense of satisfaction? The ability to rename threads? Sense of community?

That said since we have a decent amount of sign-ups, I guess should mention how this will be done. Instead of picking at random or with our limited staff poll, I was thinking would give everyone who signed up a week or so as mod to see what they bring to the table. How they would they would handle the job. What we could expect from them in their roles, and the type of activity they bring.

Haha, there isn't that much to do around here. You're basically giving people the power and saying "you only have a week to use this power". This will make them feel like they should exercise their power more than they should.


Sack up and ask people you think would be good.

Agreed. For the most part all of us that have been a part for a long time have matured to the point where not much real moderation is needed.

[Typhoid]

The reason we'd rather ask than appoint, is because we don't want to appoint someone who just 100% doesn't give a shit.

I'll do my part...I can make sure to post tons of porn and racist posts and stuff that week to keep the new mods on edge.
