Shana09 5,769 Posted June 18, 2014 Hey there everyone! I am now the Moderating Team Leader, and part of my job is to bring in new Moderators! We always want brand new moderators as they can help us keep this site safe and make the community much better! We are going to look forward to bringing you guys in? What is a Moderator? Just like I said before, Moderators take care of the site. They are basically like security for the site. They help keep it safe and friendly environment for all members no matter what. What do Moderators do? There are a list of things Moderators do! Fill out Reports. Reports are made when a member wants to speak to all the mods at once, and let them know if someone is breaking a rule. We can either take down posts or threads that are double posting, or we can delve into personal conflicts and make everything right again. Don't worry, you are never in this alone! Every mod will help and make sure we make the best choices for the situation. We remove offensive remarks When you see a shitstorm you can see it going two ways. One way everyone is either enjoying it and going for a ride, or the second way where people are sad and hurt. We moderators don't want people sad so say "NO" to shitstorms no matter what it is. Another way to contribute to your community. Yes there are news teams which are a great way to contribute to make this site what is meant to be, a fansite with Kingdom Hearts news and archives. But don't you want to also involved into the community? All these friends and people you see everyday where you can help them and make them happier and enjoy this site? That is one of the best reasons to become a moderator, you want people to be joyful and happy. Now not to burst your bubble, but not everyone can become a moderator. However, this may be the only chance you'll get to become one so mind as well try. We are looking for those who are able to complete the tasks above, as well as represent our site in the best way possible, being unbiased and being active. Once you become a moderator, I will explain to you much more on how you should act in certain situations. If you wound up being an excellent moderator, I might even share my position with you into becoming a Moderator Team Leader. Good luck to you all and I want you all to PM me on how should you act in these situations below: Mary comes up to you and asks for help. She is being harassed by Joseph through a bunch of private messages. What would you do? Be clear. You find out Joseph was actually harassing her, but Mary is also at fault for since she instigated the argument. What would you do? Be clear. You then find out that Mary isn't the only one, Mary's friends, Christina and Bonpiqi, have gotten to harass Joseph beforehand. What would you do? Be clear. Who was right? Who was wrong? Are they all right, or are they all wrong? How would you solve this at first? What else would you consider trying? Too hard or difficult to understand? Don't worry, you don't have to answer them but they will be much more helpful if you do. It shows you got the patience to try to help the member even if its as convoluted as this. However if its still a bit too much, lets try to keep it simple, just tell us how would you react (through actions and words) when you want to talk to a member if they are... Depressed? For example, if someone was really upset that you took away a post or modded him/her. Angry? For example, if someone was angered at the fact that you even decide to mod them. Uncooperative? For example, if someone doesn't care what you tell them to do, and they will continue to do what they want. Selfish? For example, they want things their way and their way only. Good luck to you all! 7 Col.Random, PillowHead, Hazimie and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col.Random 3,683 Posted June 18, 2014 Becoming a mod? I've never really thought about being one before.How lazy do i get to be hard will i have to work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Think Pink 1,967 Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) Becoming a mod? I've never really thought about being one before. How lazy do i get to be hard will i have to work? You don't have to go nuts because there are other mods to help out, but you'll have to keep an eye out for issues while you're just browsing the forum, and you'll have to review reports and act on whatever's happening. There aren't too many reports - it's pretty manageable for our team. You'll just need to send out PMs sometimes, hide posts, and give your opinion when we're deciding what to do about something.

Shana09 5,769 Posted June 18, 2014 Becoming a mod? I've never really thought about being one before. How lazy do i get to be hard will i have to work? Depends. There can be some situations where you really have to think about what you are going to do. However, most of the situations are pretty easy. Take down a couple of posts if people are double posting, merge threads and posts, etc. Also you get to talk to other moderators. Plus you get to be involved in the community. Being a moderator is more of a plus but if you are usually busy or are not good with people (tend to react in a negative manner when people don't act the way you want them too) it can be pretty difficult. Most convoluted situations don't happen all the time, but they do come and go so its best to realize that its not always going to be easy, not that isn't expected of course. You have other moderators to help you, a good 11 - 13 others. If you ever need help we are here. One of my jobs is to have a big say in what goes on if the situation is concerning members and may lead to a punishment, so I am always here to help. In summary, it is easy but sometimes it can be hard but there are 11 - 13 mods, we can help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
