not interested.

I'd like to be a mod but I know I'd abuse my position.

Have fun future mods.

What a special surprise, wasn't expecting this. It's all good though, all though next time it might be nice to notify the employees just out of courtesy.

Is GameMaster going to enter the ring again? You sure bet he is!

I applied once before this last time in my early days here and I didn't make the cut so this last time I was real happy and tickled when I landed a spot.

Now it's time to make my official third application for moderatorship at GameTavern. Let's my third time is a charm.

GameTavern Employment Application

Profile

Name: GameMaster (GM for short)
Age: 18
Gender: Male

Experience

I have been posting in forums since the year 2000. I became a member of GameTavern on April 15th, 2001. For a recent period time, I was a moderator alongside BlueFire for the General Talk board here. I also was a moderator for the resurrected Nintedose site a couple years ago.

Why I Would Like the Job

I like being a moderator at GameTavern because I enjoy the sense of responsibility it gives me in caring for and preserving a friendly, safe environment for gamers to post at with one another. I also enjoy exerting leadership behavior and helping new members become familiar with our site, etiquette, and techincal things like coding and using their avatars. I would like to use my placement as a team captain in the most recent Survivor game as an example of my leadership skills and ability to work well with others. GameTavern is a part of my life and I think because I have been here so long I deserve the privilege of being able to help contribute to it's maintenance and growth.

*would be so ticked if he was moderator prior to this*

*shrugs*

I'll apply, but only for the member chosen one, if that's possible. I moderated at the short lived "new" Nintendose a couple of years ago.

*shrugs and walks away*

Wow, you guys have ****ty resumes.

Professor S · 07-13-2004, 11:17 AM

What the hell, I'll throw my hat into the ring.

Most of you that have been around here for a while know who I am and the kind of guy I am (whether thats a good or bad thing, I have no idea

)

I have some moderating experience:

FunXbox.com - Super Moderator (retired)

Purevideogames.net - Administrator (current position)

I've also written for Gametavern before (back when we though we were going to have a main page), FunXbox, and I'm curently writing for Purevideogames (whenever the site actually goes up, which would be nice)

While I am very opinonated as a member, I am much different as a moderator. I am tough, but fair, and I definitely make it a point to be unbiased and not let any past difficulties with members cloud my judgement.

I actually would love to get a moderating position, because then I would be able to remove myself from most of the controversy that goes on around here and simply make sure it doesn't get out of hand.

So there you have it. The Strangler for moderator: Compassionate Moderatism

TheGame · 07-13-2004, 11:24 AM

I don't mind being let go because I know over the last 2 months I haven't been very active. So like Katana, I'm not reapplying.

Best of luck to the new staff.

But I'll post my history for the heck of it:

2 time moderator and 2 time supermoderator Funxbox.com
2 time moderator Nintendose.net
Longest lasting non-administrator at gametavern.net/.com

Good luck to all who do.

I really didn't care about not being told about this, but I am not reapplying either. :P

Jason1 · 07-13-2004, 05:13 PM

And I also will NOT be re applying.

ominub · 07-13-2004, 05:18 PM

Let me be a mod

I wont do anything wrong with my powers I promiss

Perfect Stu · 07-13-2004, 07:30 PM

Im more of a forum-specific mod, like PS2, Dungeon or Sports. Since GT is swaying AWAY from the forum-specific mod system, I wont be reapplying.

I think I contributed enough to this forum as a mod...time for some new blood.

And not to push it too much, but i could be that new blood. I need the experience, and if i do a bad job, i can just be fired, correct? I mean, I am here more than anyone else, so whats the harm?

This has been a Service annoncement brought to you by Typhoid.

I just pretty much want it for the sense of purpose, and knowing that im actually important. Plus i feel i would take well to, and like the responsibility.

I know there are others who are ahead of me because seignority obviously rules here, but still, it would be nice if i got selected.

(Um, when will we know who is selected, and when?)

Dylflon · 07-13-2004, 08:37 PM

Hmmm. I thought more people would apply.

Okay, I will apply for full mod. I figure I should submit a proper application.

Name: Dylan Innes
Age: 17
Sex: Male

Previous experience:

-Super mod at the reincarnated elctronic gaming world forums.

-Writer at GamingNow.

-Moderator of the contest forum at GameTavern.

Reason I would like this job:

Having enjoyed many months at GameTavern, I would like to give something back to the community. I wish to use mod powers for good and make many fun games in the contest forum for all to enjoy.
Also, I am soon making a website featuring the work of my film production company which will have a forum. I would like to get mod experience because I believe it will be good practice for when I have to administrate my own forum.
(Even with my own forum, I will continue to post here.)
