Shana09 5,769 Posted August 30, 2014 Hey everyone, due to some of our great amazing moderators leaving (Thank you for your help Kishira, Weedanort, Cricket, Mystic's Apprentice and Ajexmi!) we are looking towards 3 more moderators to join! We hope you will be applying and trying it out, and I hope the best of luck to you all! Those that tried before can try again, it would be similar to before What is a Moderator? 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 few chances 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 special situations below: These situations will be a spin on two characters named Adam and Mario, and even though it is the same theme, there are different outcomes. 1) On the forums, Mario is speaking about his opinion on a game. Lets say, he dislikes the game entirely, and he keeps bringing up his hatred against this game. Adam, another member, gets fed up and starts arguing with Mario on why he is hating on this game. What would you do? 2) On the forums, Mario is speaking about his opinion on a game. Lets say, he dislikes the game entirely, and he keeps bringing up his hatred against this game every chance he can get. Adam, another member, sees it happening and reports Mario and in his report he stated, "Mario is really getting on my nerves and is constantly bringing up his hatred on this game". What would you do? 3) On the forums, Mario is speaking about his opinion on a game. Lets say, he dislikes the game entirely, and he keeps bringing up his hatred against this game. He discusses the games flaws while giving little to no regard for the game's strengths. Adam, another member, tries to discuss with Mario about the game in each thread Mario brings it up in. They discuss on what makes the game good and what makes it bad. Another member, Allison, reported both Mario and Adam saying, "These two are arguing on this thread about 'Worst Games of 2014'." What would you do? --------------------------------------------- There obviously more I can come up with, but I don't want to overwhelm you. Take your time with this application. I may ask more questions just in case. If you feel this is too complicated or too hard, then feel free to try these situations. You can fill out both applications if you want, but if you find the first one too difficult but still want a chance then try this one instead. It is going to be same as the previous Moderator Application thread: --------------------------------------------- Tell us through actions and/or words how you would react 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. Ignoring you? For example, they didn't respond yet you know for fact they know the message exists or that they've seen it. --------------------------------------------- Good luck to everyone! If enough people send their applications in, I will end this application at the end of this week on 9/6/14 EST. Remember, it is better trying than not trying at all! 14 Keyblader_95, Exiblade7, Wolf on the Run and 11 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yang 1,859 Posted August 30, 2014 You know, I wasn't sure about becoming a mod, mainly because of my age and I always assumed I was too young. However, Shana, you've proven me wrong! Maturity matters more than numerical age. I am going to apply for mod, but I have a question. Where am I supposed to answer the five questions? Is it here, or in a separate thread? 4 Soul Eater Evans, DragonMaster, Oishii and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyber Shaman 990 Posted August 30, 2014 Nice first impression Noel. I would answer in a very sarcastic manner, but that'll be more disrespectful as it is. That, and plus you wouldn't let me get away with it, so I'll just go with me admitting that I- the user just screwed myself over and disrespected a mod. Have a nice day.

Wolf on the Run 391 Posted August 31, 2014 I've been around the site for a few years now and I've seen how some of the previous Mods have handled a number of different situations one or two of which situations i was even dragged into myself at some point but the Mod's near always managed to work it out after all my time on this site maybe its about time i offered to give a hand I'll work on my application and have it sent in soon Shana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shana09 5,769 Posted August 31, 2014 If you ever need a moderator for the roleplaying section, I am always right here Shana. I shall remain loyal to kh13! Our moderators aren't specifically entitled to one forum anymore, also the roleplaying the actually the least moderated subforum, barely and reports there! You can still apply, its better to try! I definitely would like to contribute and help, but I can't be helpful anywhere.. Don't be like that, anyone can be helpful. You just need to keep on trying!

Keyblader_95 1,410 Posted August 31, 2014 Don't be like that, anyone can be helpful. You just need to keep on trying! Damn, I must be the very exception then Well, I WOULD apply but:1 - I can't assure the maximum of my availability due to other main activities and different time zone, plus it would be even harder for me to organize myself once I (one can dream) find a job2 - I would feel like.. well, a bit like an hypocrite to tell others what to do when, sometimes, I'm the one to be totally wrongI shouldn't even write these things, I'm just wasting your time lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VisitJoan 2,713 Posted August 31, 2014 Being a Mod sounds cool and all, but unfortunately I don't have the time right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OmegaForte 1,674 Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) I have some time, the issue is I don't really contribute to the site as much as a member should. (I think I worded that badly) Also I tend to debate which if this was a poll, I'd be dead last. Anyways I'll give it a shot, but feel free to choose potentially better members as I'm sure there is some here and there.

Your life is more important than a moderating position, so I can understand. And don't worry, as long as you don't act the same way as a moderator you should definitely be fine. Personally, from what I've seen from you, you don't seem bad at all. Being a Mod sounds cool and all, but unfortunately I don't have the time right now. That's fine, hopefully in the future you'll have some free time. I have some time, the issue is I don't really contribute to the site as much as a member should.

Kinode 3,056 Posted August 31, 2014 Haha, a couple of years ago I'd be dying to become a mod. It still sounds cool, but I just don't think I could even apply considering how inactive I've been for the last year. Good luck to everyone trying their shots at the applications, I can see some really good mods in the making here. 1 Weedanort reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
