Moderator Applications

[Lord_Scorch]

Hello;

I suppose I'll give the application a shot.

1. Are you at least 16 years old? Indeed, I am.

2. What time zone are you in (GMT -/+X) EST.

3. What's your internet connection speed? - Comcast - 4 Upload, 4 Download

4. What topics interest you most at SF? - The topics that intrigue me most are those dedicated to creating forums, Windows Support, and simply helping other users when necessary.

5. How many hours per week can you moderate? 35 - 40 hours a week.

6. How would you utilize your time as a moderator? - I'm not giving the standard answer of cleaning spam, and keeping flaming down. My answer is this: I would utilize it as I would as a member. Assisting users, giving support, and reviewing forums. The only difference is the standard - clearing out litter so the users can have a more adult friendly environment.

7. Are you able to keep a level head while performing moderator duties? - I refuse to get angry with anyone in a debate or problem. I'm also truly un-biased.

Are you at least 16 years old?
- Yes, I am.

What time zone are you in (GMT -/+)
- GTM +3.

What's your internet connection speed?
- It really depends on the date and time. 1/10/100 mb/s.

What topics interest you most at SF?
- Virus Infection and Computer Security, Video Gaming and Graphic Design and Tutorials. After all, it doesn't really matter, as an moderator, I'd check out all the topics.

How many hours per week can you moderate?
- 50-60 hours per a week.

How would you utilize your time as a moderator?
- There isn't just a one answer to this question. There're plenty. Im sure, people think the main thing is to keep an eye on the members, and keep the forums clean. Yes, those are one of the most inportant things. But I'd also think, being a good role model and a respectful to others can achieve much more. Think it like this, if there's a moderator who only spends hours of time on telling people what to do, and what not, no one is never going to think him/her as a good and a respectful person. Treat others the same, as you'd like to be treated.


Are you able to keep a level head while performing moderator duties?
I would never get angry or upset to anyone, at any time, while doing a moderator job. Being down to earth, is one of the best things you can be. Being a evil overlord is just not my thing at all.
It would be an honor to be a part of the staff of this awesome community, which I believe will be one the best communities ever.

Other info.

I just want to add a few things here, which I believe could improve my chances to become a moderator.

Past admin/mod experience.

I've been an admin on a gaming community in CSS, TF2 and L4D. At the beginning, I was just an admin on those servers, which we had 22. After a year of being an admin, I was promoted to become the head admin. I also applied to become a forum moderator, and I was accepted to that job.
The gaming community which I used to work for, was huge. The owner owns thousands of servers around the world, and is the biggest hoster in the NL. At first, we used to only have 7 gameservers. But that number raised to 22, because of the huge popularity of those servers. Those forums I used to moderate, were as same sized as Hackforums.net is now. We had tens of active threads every day, and 100's of posts each day.

Other experiences.

Well, Im not a nerd, but I do know a few things about computers and technology. Im currently studying to become a electrician. So hopefully, my knowledge could be useful, if I become a mod.

I'd call myself a experienced internet user. I surf around the internet about 12 hours a day, yes, 12 hours... It's mainly because of school, where we use it alot. At free times, I spend about 6-7 hours a day at school days and around 12 to sometimes 16 hours at weekends. Yes, some people might call me a nolife, but no, Im really not.

After all, this would be an awesome opportunity to gain more experience and serve this community. If im chosen to become a moderator, I'd do all I can to make this community better for all of us.

5. How many hours per week can you moderate?
Roughly 56-84 hours per week (I'm usually on when the mods are away), and I am currently not working and self studying.

6. How would you utilize your time as a moderator?
Since SF is still of small size, I can have time to go to almost all sections in SF that have a high level of activity at that time. I would mostly personally message people who need help or have knowingly or unknowingly violated site/forum rules (I believe in a high level of discretion) and/or redirect him to the rules and announcements section, if he has queries as to the reason(s) of the violation, I will do my best to elaborate it for him. In these circumstances I could issue a warning which would depend on moderation parameters set by the administrator/owner (Omniscient) or if by my own discretion, according to the gravity of the situation or both. These will be done along with answering reports, answering inquiries about the site and about topics in the forum as best as possible with a high level of objectivity. While moderating, personal relations, prejudice and other foreseeable and unavoidable situations addressing subjectivity will be avoided to avoid bias and inadequacy in moderating. If there are some difficulties that I cannot address alone, I may seek the help of a more senior moderator or the administrator himself.

7. Are you able to keep a level head while performing moderator duties?
Yes, objectivity, foresight and discretion would be the principles heralding my duties as a moderator IF given the chance.


Thank you for reading. Have a nice day.

PS: For the record, I have limited experience in moderating forumboards. I have been co-administrator for a KINGSOFCHAOS organization forum and later on when we merged with another organization, I was a section moderator.
