Lol.
Im sorry, but I have to say that moderators Do Not Run forums. They are pretty much the peace keepers in the whole scene of things.
As being a moderator I have had to check Post Reportings, PM's regarding flamings, Manage threads in various sections and keep my cool in many situations.
I am not going to be voting for who should become a mod, I will just be stating that a moderator has to firstly be familiar with the various sections (CO Underground Excluded) and have a vast amount of knowledge on the game to make calculated decisions based on different questions asked by the public.
They have be able to manage a forum including:
- Editing Rule Violating Posts
- Managing Post Reports
- Giving #Warnings/#Infractions where necessary (And not abusing this right)
- Being relatively active (Doesn't mean they need to post, as long as they clean and try to keep the peace while enforcing rules)
I realize that there will be many of you who will consider me as a complete hypocrite from these things that I have said because of my recent inactivity. Although I did not post however, I checked to see how everything was running around 2 days every week (I was away around 3-4weeks).
On my defense though, I have started year 12 (Final Year of High School) and have had to plan out my time which includes the various aspects of my life...Elitepvpers included.
It took me sometime but I have formulated a rough plan which includes myself moderating EPvP throughout the year but I will most likely be inactive for these times.
For these times, a new moderator to support Tane would be fantastic as it would relieve some of my time. I would still however like to be a moderator as well as a new one instated.
My favourite bets are Unknownone, Vacs and kinshi88 as global CO2 moderators with InfamousNoOne as the PServer Moderator (as long as he pulls back on some of the flaming xD)
Good luck to all,
Hiyoal
