I was hoping to get some other perspectives on my capabilities as a moderator. Obviously, with the position comes the responsibility of maintaining an image as a role model. But I think I could fill those shoes if given the opportunity. What do you guys think?
And this isn't definitive. This is simply extra input upon which Umaro and Elfien may make a decision upon whether or not they need another mod.
What do you mean? You think I'd over moderate and call out the slightest error? Nah, I'd only do that for argument's sake. But as a general rule, I'm rather lax. And actually, the idea of being a moderator was brought up to me a while ago, but I just didn't think I'd have the patience until now.
I don't know you very well, but I think Siaynoq makes a valid point. Most often the people who want it abuse it, while those who don't or don't care tend to make better mods.
Well, I'll just say this; in all honestly, I actually think this forum could use a tad more moderation. Since I'm seeing people constantly violate basic forum etiquette. Especially when it comes to trolling. But I am also just as wary of too much moderation. However, you seem sincere, so why not?
i love your roasts and i know your intelligent. we may not agree on things, but i think that if not permanent, at least they can try you out. i see no reason why not to trust you. if anything that takes away from you though is that you're not that active.others such as darkjay who are here constantly can better and faster address things such as advertisements or porn links.

At this point that's about all I can say.
I've always been a fan of the idea that administrators contact potential moderators instead of vice-versa, and pretty much because of Lord Mantis opinion.

No kidding. I see stuff in here that would never pass anywhere else. But I guess that's what happens when the moderators (somewhat) troll too...
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
I don't think someone pretending to be a smartass would do for a moderator... Need to learn some manners (overuse of cussing), first, and broaden the mind a bit.
Besides, if I was a moderator, a lot of your own posts would be heavily censored, and that just doesn't make sense. I guess my views on moderation are different from the views of people on this forum.
Unless you become a different person when you get the position, I know some people like that, I could see you in the position, but in the current state? No.
I enjoy muttonchops. I believe he knows what is right and wrong, due to his numerous posts. I think he would be a good moderator - honest and legitimate. I'd preferrably like to see more from him though.
Although I'm new here and don't know your history, I agree with Equinox. The way you handled things in the News forum with Aibo and all of them was disgraceful - definitely not a quality of a good moderator. An example would be this post.
I know he was flaming you but you still have to be able to control things better without flaming back.

No, you would absolutely abuse it. Regardless of our past you are the exact kind of person that makes a nazi mod.
You lie now, saying you would be fair, until you actually get the power. Anyone that has an opinion severely conflicting with yours would result in post deletes and possible ban.
Please don't use the thread in which I owned you, I've watched these forums for so long and especially you since you've joined.
Plus, you're entirely too young, 14 year old has no business being a moderator of such a forum. Study, get laid, something you should be doing.
I'd also like to state Mutton refused to give me his address so possibly a coffee could be be arranged. Though he threatened my well being he wouldn't give me his address so I could threaten his, which I find unfair. A mod should happily give out personal information to resolve problems.
though i have to agree with that second paragraph.
Meh, I said it was a joke, which was taken entirely too far and turned into a beast. I ignored most of the flame posts, just popped in to make my presence known.
im not here to read that crap. and i shouldnt have too.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.

The only reason you know me is because I systematically dismantled your opinion which you failed to defend. That's besides the issue though. Although I may not like certain people, if I was a mod, I would act differently, in adjustment of my own responsibility.

You can't even prove that. And if you hadn't noticed, the only reason I disagreed with you was because it wasn't logical. Everyone else noticed, why didn't you? Besides, the only reason I'm even doing this thread is because it was suggested to me to do it. I don't care what you people decide.
Meh, I said it was a joke, which was taken entirely too far and turned into a beast. I ignored most of the flame posts, just popped in to make my presence known.
Yeah...threatening to kill people and calling people cowards is not a joke. You flamed, I flamed. Leave it at that.

I'm 16. Way to not know what you're talking about. Plus, I have a steady girlfriend, whom I've been going out with for 2 years. Don't talk to me about needing to get laid. Besides, that has no bearing on my ability to moderate.

Once again, it has no bearing on my ability to mod. In fact, why would I give my address to someone who threatens to kill people? Not that I'm scared of you, but there is no reason why I should give you my personal information. In fact, I invited you to do the same thing and you ignored it.
And from the sound of it, you're starting to flame me again. A feeble attempt, mind you, but I know an attack of character when I see one.

peoples opinions matter.
And as a person with another opinion, I should have the right to question the validity of another person's opinion. If he can't defend his opinion, then what about his opinion should be considered valid?
you might wanna think about if you even want to BE a moderator...
I'm a moderator on a couple of other forums and I get positive feedback from about 90% of people. I do not have a preference on this forum, but people have brought the idea to me for months and I decided to bring it up. But I know what it takes to moderate.
But seriously, the fact that a certain few people (those whom I have had debates against) are the only ones that are protested to the idea, this is sufficient enough to show that they are against the idea because they don't like me, in general. Not because they don't think I have the potential as a moderator. Nevertheless, the results of this poll don't matter to me.

but still knew the fact that you both instagated in a very annoying way.
oh and mutton chops, dont worry about the 3 people that said 'no, youre mean'
they just wouldnt understand =D

without the negative, then nothing would work out and not have you seconguess anything.
