Important Announcement

[Jason1]

Um...am I the only one that is slightly pissed off by this? I mean, did we do anything wrong? I know for awhile there you were thinking about having us be required to post a news story or 2 each week, which I thought would be fine, but that never came about. We were told to try to make more activity in our forums, we did(at least I posted a few new topics). A change of pace was needed? How will this change anything at all, besides give us new moderators? I dont see this helping the boards anyways, thats for sure. Seems kinda pointless to me.

[Vampyr]

In responce to Jason: It's not pointless. I think this is a good idea, even if I dont get my position back. There was way too many moderators...What's the point in having a forum where over half the people moderate them? It was just silly. While I did enjoy my moderator position, I felt the value of it wasn't as special anymore, because almost everyone was a moderator.

And yes, I am applying for a moderator position:

Position Desired: GameTavern Moderator

Reason Desired: I want the position of GameTavern moderator because I feel that I was fully dedicated to my duties in previous experiances, and had an enjoyable time performing these duties. Being a moderator gives me a reason to stay on top of what's going on in gaming, and gives me incentive to research the latest news and media, so that not only I learn it, but so do my peers for which I am working for on GameTavern. Not only this, but I have an understanding of the rules and what is expected here at GT, and carry out actions to insure that they are followed. I am a very active member here, and can insure that these things are taken care of.

Education
Up to and including Sophomore year of High School

Training
As a previous GameTavern moderator

Employment History

GameTavern Moderator: Responcibilities include moderating the PS2 forums and the Writer's Guild forums. During my entire time of employment, I carried out my duties in an efficient, timely, and fair manor. I posted daily on the messege boards, and posted as much media and press releases as I could to keep them active. During my time as moderator, the Writer's Guild forum also saw an increased popularity, and I worked diligently to fill the Homepage with the latest news and media, along with reviews and editorials.

GamingNow! Writer: Responcibilities included posting as many news articles per day as I could, requiring no less than three, which I normally went above an beyond. I also wrote several quality reviews for the site's archive, and remained dedicate to the site into it's final days, being the only writer to do so.

[edit] Speaking of gekko...however cool that sig is, it's a tad too big, dont you think?

[gekko]

Phantasy Star can never be too big. Just a big image, many of you have sigs that are actually bigger

[Dylflon]

Thanks for not putting me as a personal contact, Vampyr .


I don't really care if I don't get a great mod position. I was happy with having the contest forum. I had big plans, people. Big!

I submit to you a proposition that I be not a full moderator, but an events organizer and contest forum mod.

[Typhoid]

I would like to put in a good word for Dyne, he isnt here to request a spot, but im slightly sure he would want it.

I cant write a resume for him, but at least im getting his name out there...As well as mine.

[Kitana85]

I kinda agree with Jason in that I wish we had been told this was going to happen before it happened, but I do think it will be a good idea to only have four mods... and no, I'm not reapplying.

Good luck to all who do.

[TheGame]

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

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

Well, if you read my note at the bottom of my resume, you'll know why. heh. I only included people who provided contact information in their profile here on GT...and I was going to list you, but you didnt have your MSN or AIM or anything on your profile, and I didnt know if you would like that info to be given out, so I didnt put you down.

Sorry, but now you know why.

[Hero2]

Id like to put in a good word for GM. I think he makes a good mod .

[ZebraRampage]

I wouldn't mind being a moderator. I've been here more this year than ever before and I've been posting a lot more, but that's not why I should be a moderator. I would just enjoy the responsibility, and I'd always do my best to get the job done well. Recently I've been doing the music battle, and it started off slow, but after the first two battles I realized what I needed to do, and for the most part I think I've gotten it to run smoothly. I'd just like to give it a try for once.

[Stonecutter]

I'm interested.

I was an admin at GameCube Central and I brought a bunch of people over here from over there when the old forms closed down (unfortunately few have stuck around.) Anybody who's still around from GCC can vouch for the fact that I'm tough but fair.

I'm not going to grovel for my position, but I will promise to cut down on a lot of the meaningless bull****.

[Seth]

not interested.

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

Have fun future mods.

[GameMaster]

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.

[Canyarion]

Only 4 mods eh? ...

I'm available, but perhaps someone else has more time.
