Moderator Applications

I was one before. Don't really know, if I want to be again, but I'm a bit curious.
What are the requirements? Do you have mods especially for the subchannels?
Or are you all moderating all?

I'd like to rule myself out because I'm too much of an 「bum-bum hole」, but I respect the mod team for the work they've done, what they are determined to do, and the fair way they have held me accountable for my stupid 「dookie」.

Former super mod, guide and admin, would be willing to help out if needed. Censorship vs civility is the toughest BBS topic there is, how to avoid one while employing the other is the struggle I see most. PM would be appreciated even if it's a no thanks.

Yeah, I've seen several wikias where you have to be 18 or older to get a position.

I second him, only because Death by Pigs is a great clan name. I don't really care if he's qualified or not. We deserve a moderator belonging to a clan with such a great clan name. If he turns out to be some abusive ban hammer twitchy self serving moderator, the admins can always remove him after the ensuing drama. 

Also, make the new moderator be in charge of moving all posts to their respective sub sections, I am tired of reporting the posts of people who can't read or use forums. 

I suppose by posting in here, I am technically applying for the job. I will say in my defense that I am a irresponsible bugger who will not do what is required of me, so not a great choice because I would be fired pretty soon and this whole process gets repeated.

That never happened. The admins and mods where always on good terms.
Stop! That would be a lie. Almost always. But we didn't wash our dirty loundry in the open.

I want an abo!!!

Doesn't mean much, but I would vote for you. I read all your posts. Well, when the thread seems interesting.
I mostly ignore the others. You seem to be a very moderate mind. So, suited for the task.

Btw, I am a fan of Louis Royo. The extra plus point...

Please refrain from trolling this thread.

Also to those applying,

Let me ask you a few questions:

1. Why do you want to be a moderator and what can you offer?
2. Do you have any past experience as a moderator?
3. Why do you see yourself as a better candidate than the others? (In other words, what are your qualifications?)
4. How long have you played War Robots?
4a. Are you knowledgeable?
5. Are you fluent in English?
6. Is there anything else you'd like to tell us? Any past history of cheating or clubbing/tanking? (Be honest. This won't impact your evaluation in a negative or positive way)

1. Why do you want to be a moderator and what can you offer?

I want to be a moderator because there are / is position(s) available. I can help keep things calm in the rants section and I have excellent judgement in the place when a thread should be closed or not or if a user should be banned for trolling / vandalism / flaming. I am very active here and I am willing to dedicate my time in this Forum moving thread or doing whatever a moderator does if I were to receive the position. I do know some CSS, if you need me to put censors on some words. I tend to be more interactive with other users, something that this forum lacks.

2. Do you have any past experience as a moderator?

Yes. See next line for descriptions.

3. Why do you see yourself as a better candidate than the others? (In other words, what are your qualifications?)

If you didn't read my first post here, I have been a moderator in Respawnables Wikia since July 2014. An administrator since October 2014 and a Bureaucrat since November 2014. So, I am what Strayed or ShutUpAndSmokeMyWeed is, except on another wikia. respawnables.wikia.com/wiki/User:Darkangel12S <- That is my profile page and I believe it can demonstrate my dedication. 21.7K edits as of now. I have kinda retired from Respawnables for War Robots, so I spend the majority of my time online, here. I know some CSS (written some here -> respawnables.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikia.css ) and I have taken part of reverting and fighting an attack by a vandal / troll that manipulated his IP so have an unlimited supply of account and taken actions against 2 massive group vandal and troll attack. 
4. How long have you played War Robots?

Since the beginning of October of last year.

4a. Are you knowledgeable?

Yes, I am good at giving hangar tips and I could tell you the tier you were in, in the old MM. I am getting a good idea of how the matchmaking works now, but I still need to figure out what causes the outliers.

5. Are you fluent in English?

Yes.

6. Is there anything else you'd like to tell us? Any past history of cheating or clubbing/tanking? (Be honest. This won't impact your evaluation in a negative or positive way)
I've never cheated or hacked any games. If you consider clubbing 4/6 Thunder Schlutzes, yes I have done that to earn my 4th slot, and I have played 4/6 Thunder Taran, Pinata Vityaz, Magnum Patton and Rocket Golem in low silver to earn my 4 Orkans and 5th slot. After that was solid 6/8s. I have never tanked or ditched. 

1. Why do you want to be a moderator and what can you offer?
- Herding cats is hard work, and it looks like we'll need all the help we can get, I'm willing to step up to the cause.
- I can offer a lifetime of experience, including 40+ years of being a nerd, geek, intellectual, and gamer.

2. Do you have any past experience as a moderator?
I was a moderator for many community forums/chats/groups in the past, going back to dial-up BBS, Usenet, AoL, IRC, ICQ... uhm, I can't remember all the acronyms and games, aight? I follow my own code, and I have a strong sense of honor and decorum. I won't allow my personal beliefs to compromise the integrity of the administration or community if they should ever come into conflict.

3. Why do you see yourself as a better candidate than the others? (In other words, what are your qualifications?)
I've done this before. I've seen some feces. I can run circles around most trolls.

4. How long have you played War Robots?
Year and a half ish? Joined Wikia and Forums about 2 months after I started playing.

4a. Are you knowledgeable?
My friends call me a walking encyclopedia. Sometimes they are joking.

5. Are you fluent in English?
My mother was an English Major, with touches of OCD. Try me.

6. Is there anything else you'd like to tell us? Any past history of cheating or clubbing/tanking? (Be honest. This won't impact your evaluation in a negative or positive way)

I've said it publicly before, but I consider myself a reformed flaming troll. Much like Pokemon and other collectible tribes, there are stages of evolution in the growth of a troll. On AoL I was a n00b troll, picking low hanging fruit and lots of personal insulting. On ICQ & IRC I was a 2nd stage troll, having gotten bored with the normal folks, I would troll the trolls and the admins and generally pick on perceived authority. I usually give up on the metaphor at this point, so to finish up let's just say that once I got bored with being a flaming troll, I discovered it's more fun to just be my bizarre self. I promise to be a master-debater, not an argue-er.

As for the game, I was an outspoken proponent for gold farming under the old MM, and a constant grey-walker on the moral and ethical degrees of difference in clubbing and farming and so on. Which continues to this day in soft vs hard tanking/smurfing/twinking/wha-evs.

1. I've been a TC for quite awhile. When I'm active I tend to thumb through every thread I have time for. I've been bipartisan about most things concerning War Robots. I prefer to ask questions if something is striking, and tend to share all information I may.

2. Not as a forum mod.

3.Irl I'm a manager in a high volume retail store. If you've never survived a customer service job: working with the general public removes selectivism of the range of people one has to interact with on a day to day basis. While I'm direct and concise from moving quite a bit in my life(and dealing with far more people than anyone would ever want to), rarely do people consider me unfair.

4.Almost a year, just getting back into it after a long snag in irl affairs.

4a. I never consider this question one that the person being asked can answer honestly, as people can't (and sometimes refuse to) know what they don't know (and knowledge is only as useful as it is perceived). Ask Wiki clan and survey my activity, that's the real answer lol.

5. Yep.

6. I suppose dissecting the MM made way for the original "clubber's guide", but the intent was always access to information. Was a 4/6 Thunder Shutze pilot a long time ago, moved far and away from level discrepancies after dissecting the MM. I am a fairly unorthodox player in self-comparison to what others have said and what they prefer -shrug-

The question isn't their affiliation, it's whether or not they make an effective moderator.

Well, I would just ask that you take a "clubber's" and/or "tanker's" perspective into consideration, before making a decision.  Because I believe such considerations would make an impact, whether one were consciously aware of it or not...
