Dr. Orange Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Is it possible for anyone less than "6 months old" to apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 No. We want people who are proven to be active and have a positive record over the long-run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 I forgot to mention, I'm giving everyone 2 weeks or until I stop getting applications. Also, if the staff is really unsure to who put on the mod spot, we will hold elections here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'd like to wish everyone good luck, and also stress that if you want to apply, do it ASAP! :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xortberg Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Already applied. Did so the moment I noticed the thread :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Is it possible for anyone less than "6 months old" to apply? In theory, no, but that didn't stop User. Plus, the whole selection thing is pointless anyway, I don't know why they bother, they just pick their friends. The charade is just a waste of effort.

Xortberg Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 ITT: General banter and Sabre is pessimistic. Yep. All is right in the universe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The charade is just a waste of effort. i disagree, i am sure i wouldn't be choosen but i'm friends with a few staff. But even if i was choosen i would reject the offer. my question is why another mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xortberg Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Anyways, It's a tough call, but I'm going to demote Odd, he's one of the original members of SF-O, but he hasn't been very active due irl matters. I will, however, consider him as a future staff member again if he decides to become active. At any rate, head towards the announcement forum, we are holding mod applications. From the staff improvement topic. New mod because Odd is like... never ever ever ever here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Plus, the whole selection thing is pointless anyway, I don't know why they bother, they just pick their friends. The charade is just a waste of effort. You are flat wrong. All of the mods except User were selected based on qualifications by ME. I could care less if the person selected is a friend of another moderator or not. User was fast-tracked because we were short-handed at the time, and there was a lot of shit to deal with, ad he had moderator experience at other sites. I made it quite clear that we would never do that again, and we haven't. Usually we get 3-6 applications, and only one or two of the applicants are actually qualified to be moderators.

Steve Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Yeah, User was my call. I spent some time investigating his staff abilities lurking on the KLA, and he seemed to be the right dude to put on the front lines when we were having drama a while back ago. He did his job, and he did it damn well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluxy Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Heh, we all realize and heard the User case a thousand billion times, and really, listening to it again and again is obviously having no affect on our wonderful Saber. I mean, obviously we can't please all people, and we all know Saber knows how the incident happened, just, he chooses to believe what he wants. No real reason for the staff to need to defend themselves really with how he is; it is obvious that he is looking for some sort of reaction, and we really don't need more drama to spark up, lol.

Steve Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Keep'em coming guys, we are having an extreme hard time deciding right now, and we have a few applications, but great applicants. The more we get, the easier will be to decide, even if that sounds contradicting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psygonis Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'd go for it, since I have extensive experience in that domain and kinda miss the job, but eh... barely 1 month old here! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinigami Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'd apply, but with College coming up in a few weeks and coupled with the fact that I'm not quite as active as I used to...might not exactly work out. good luck to those who applied though.

Sabre Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 >mfw this topic contains buttmadding from Sabre, whom is clearly distraught over his failure to become a mod. Despite the fact I have no wish to become mod, I have been mod on other sites, and would turn it down if offered anyway. Other than that, flawless reasoning there. Heh, we all realize and heard the User case a thousand billion times, and really, listening to it again and again is obviously having no affect on our wonderful Saber. I mean, obviously we can't please all people, and we all know Saber knows how the incident happened, just, he chooses to believe what he wants. Because no one has ever made anything up, or lied to maintain an image of fairness. That's unheard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 this sounds interesting. I'm on here every day, all day...........but my account is only 5 months old sadly enough. besides, being a mod is a huge responsibility and i would probably not be able to keep up the expectations you desire. but i wish the greatest of luck to all the other applicants!

Dragzilla66 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'm here all the time but I don't know if I'm good enough compare to other people lols. Anyways I'll take it if no one can handle it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmony Descent Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Well, I would send in my application for being a mod, but I've had a small history back whenever I joined, or a little after, that majority of the staff should know about, and so I guess I'm not going to try out for mods or anything. I'm just not cut out for the job and I can guaruntee I will NOT get the spot. Oh well, back to my life away from the intarwebz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I would throw my hat in like last time, but I'm not as active as used to be. So I'll keep my app's to myself on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
