Moderator Application [Conquer Online 2]

ICQ UIN:

-= I personally do not make use of ICQ. I have not in quite a few years. I use MSN all the time and am constantly on it, almost always reachable. Should this suffice as a replacement, I'd be more than happy to give it out to a high standing member that asks for it.

eMail:

-= I'd have no problem giving this out to an administrator or moderator that asks for it, but for obvious reasons I cannot or rather will not post it publicly here.

Age:

-= I'm currently 16. I'm sure you get the general "I'm (age) but don't let that fool you I am a great and hard worker (insert more stuff here)." I'll say something similar. Yes, I'm 16 and of course there is always the question of "will he overreact?" or something similar. I personally feel that age is a number that is only a display of, well, nothing. The age inside your head is what matters, and I feel that age is indeed quite lived, knowledgeable, and respectable.

Why do you want to be moderator?

-= There are quite a few reasons for this. I've been around epvp for quite a while now. At first I came on and did not say much of anything, if anything at all. I sat back and observed things that went on to get a feel for how to interact with people here without making a bad impression. I've come to realize that there are a lot of people that disrespect the entire forum by constantly misdirecting threads(as in leading them off topic) and general "flame wars". I personally, and I'm sure others share my views, find this incredibly irritating to go through literally hundreds of pages of people complaining or otherwise flaming, in the end all posts that do not contribute to the better side of the thread. I aim to help fix this by cracking down on how seriously the flames and offtopic discussions are dealt with, nothing over-doing it but just something to show there is some serious moderation of that rule in effect - not that there wasn't before, of course.

-= Within a similar category, I suppose, I constantly see people ignoring the ability to search, mostly due to laziness, and flooding the forums with literally wastes of database space with posts that have been answered so many times. Obviously there is no direct way to fix this issue - people will continue to post and ask questions after either searching lightly or not at all. I aim to assist uses in creating super threads where all the information for any one forum can be found at the top of the page. I suppose you could say I'd want to form small "FAQ" like posts for each section so that poeple do not need to search - which is always a little semi-unreliable.

-= Overall, I'd just like to say that I aim to show some control and power over the constant flame and off-topic wars that occur so often. I hope to show that behavior like that will only be tolerated very, very lightly, if at all. I also hope to help users to help themselves and others by organizing a lot of information into an easily readable, structured, and updated post.

How much experience do you have with the issue from the forum you apply for a moderator job?

-= I would say that I have a lot of experience in the Conquer area. I've been here since the dawn of Co2. While that is no big feat in the total age of Conquer, or even in the total age of my life, again I cite that age within anything(even the "age" of how long you've been with something) is only accurate to a degree. It's how you spend that age that matters, that forms the true "age" between you and anything.
-I have general knowledge in the flow and general area of Conquer.
-I have excessive knowledge in the Conquer private server scene - I was part of the original CoEmu project, which literally pioneered the Conquer private server community we know and love today.
-I have general to semi-moderate knowledge in exploits and such related to Conquer, including but not limited to botting, macroing, proxying, etc.

Do you have enough time to visit the board averaged two days and to take an interest in the forum?

-= While of course like any other person I have my busy days, for the most part I am a very available person capable of being on daily. Actually, though I'm not sure if it is possible to do so, if you could check I am probably on everyday. I usually sign on read some things, check updates to threads I maintain, and generally try to help people if they have any problem that I can quickly assist with, obviously as long as it hasn't been answered before.
-= In the same aspect I take a large interest in Conquer. A lot of people have left or quit the Conquer scene over the years due to TQ's lovely control and management of the great game, but I am still here. I am constantly interested in Conquer - as well as how to edit, mod, and hack it. So it is more than safe to say I am always interested and intrigued by Conquer.

Do you took part there before you sent your application?

-= I have re-read this question a few times. I am not entirely sure what it means, but I will go with what I think. I think it is asking if I have partaken in the Conquer forums before I submitted this application. The obvious though respectful answer is that yes, I have taken part in the Conquer forums here on epvp. Actually, I do not know of any other forums I -have- taken a part in other than Conquer - only a few, just one or two actually. Anyway, yes I have taken part in Conquer and in fact it is one of the only forums here I actively visit and watch.

Do you have a lot of patience with questions wich you think thyselve that they are very stupid?

-= I think that this answer can go with the same answer for any other mod or admin here. If I were to ask Lowfyr this question he might reply similar to what I will say.

-= I think that I am just as capable as anyone else in dealing with questions that I personally think are a waste of time. As long as it is not a very, very commonly asked question which can be answered by very minimal searching, I would not be at all irritated by it. If it were commonly asked, I'd do my best to assist a user by directing them in the correct direction without directly disrespecting them. I think this is fair to say: I have as much patience as any other person here or anyone in the world with questions that I find stupid. All that being said, I will just try my best to handle myself to help people - that is the goal here, as with every forum(I hope), to make friends or neutrals, not enemies right?

Can you act good in general with other human beings?

-= Every person has social strength of powers, some have more than others. Generally I think that I have adequate social skills in general dealing with helping people. While this may be the shortest answer yet, I assure you there is power in me saying that yes I can act good in general and overall with other people. Hey, I can even act good with AI and computers, and that's like talking to a wall; or actually, it is talking to a wall..

Did you ever operatet as an moderator before?

-= On epvp - no. I have never been a moderator on any large-scale forums, depending on what you define large scale as. The private server I own - CoEmu v2 - I own, operate, and moderate both in and out of game. That is probably the largest scale of moderation I have ever done. While this is not anywhere near the size of just the Conquer section of epvp, I feel that any experience is better than no experience. So I ask you to overlook the scale of moderation I have done and simply look at the fact that I do have experience in the field.

Small edit:
-= In reading other applications, I see post count is apparently quite a large question or contributor to the moderation application. I do understand this, and with my ppd(posts per day), which, I'll save you the trouble, is .52, I can understand that being an issues. I just would like to mention that for the first bit of my time here, I sat back and observed - this is more or less the kind of "user" I like to be. I like things to go on and when I see a chance to help I do my best to jump in and help. I do regret not posting more, but in all honesty on the conquer subforums posting is like entering a constant flame war - so I do my best to avoid the flame wars and help people as best I can in doing so. Sorry about that

-= I know my application is probably a huge wall of text and you might have opened it thinking "oh gosh this is going to be a long read" but if you have gotten this far then you probably changed your opinion about me, assuming you had one at all.
-= My last words will be pretty simple - it is okay if you do not want me here to help in doing my part to make epvp better. I see that we, the conquer community, is in need of moderators and I am stepping up and offering what I have to help us and of course the epvp staff that are having to take the time in assisting to deal with the conquer forums.

Edited for readability.

Thank you for reading it all, I'm excited to see the response,

Andy

Hello andyd123,

after reading your wall of text I feel like I have to respond with a wall though Iīm sure it wonīt be as large as yours.

1) The application itself:

My first sentence concerning this is: Size matters, but not always since the application itself is most likely the less important aspect of my ratings. However this shouldnīt be negative criticism but donīt get too confident with just your application which without doubt is quite impressive.
Well your application is as everyone can see on first sight very detailed though a bit optical structure wouldnīt hurt since it is indeed hard to read. But itīs nice to see that an applicant puts so much effort and time into an application (reminds me of myself; you may take a look at it). That shows that you can -if you want to- do a proper job as a moderator. Another positive aspect that your English is that of a native speaker from my point of view (Iīm not a native Englishspeaker).

Rating: [+]

2) Activity and other statistics:

Well regarding your statement that you, during your first time here, did not actively take part in the section, your postcount is ok for a moderator but a bit more activity would be nice though. I read through a few of your posts and noticed a few things:
Your posts are most likely use- and helpful. [positive]
Your posts almost entirely concentrates on the PServer-Section of CO2 (I think itīs good to mention here that this is a Sub-Sub-Forum of CO2 but I already requested a change concerning that). [negative]
Like that it would be difficult to do the job as moderator since there are a lot more sections to take care of and you applied for whole CO2. We are currently searching for a moderator for the whole section.

Rating: [o]

3) Other circumstances:

After seeing many moderators come and leave I think I have gained some experience concerning judging a personīs character and the compatibility for the job. I think your personality is adequate for the job and I think -if you change a few things concerning your posing!- you would make a good job. I donīt know how other members of CO2 community think of you but I donīt think you are a unpopular person.

Rating: [+]

Conclusion

Not much to say now. Read part 3 and you know.

[+] + [o] + [+] = [+]

Regards,
John Dread

Thank you. Yes, I did try to make it easy to read, I thought the use of bullets might not work well since I wasn't going onto any one point for a short period. I did use spaces for paragraphing, but it seems that the board removed the spaces, and I get why I suppose. Yes, I am indeed a native English speaker, though, honestly, after being at epvp, I was inspired to learn German, and I know it only a tad. As a last bit, I didn't intend to come across over-confident about my post. I meant to come across confident to show that no matter what I put out, I hold it to a high regard as something that should be respected as everyone else's applications are respected, that's all

2) Activity and other statistics:

Thank you for understanding this. I, no doubt, understand that posts are quite a big deal for a moderator(the only deal for the most part!). The entire reason I focus mainly on the private server section of conquer is, indeed, that I have the most knowledge there. Not that I do not have knowledge in the other sections, but merely that I do not wish to mislead anyone by posting partially or wholly incorrect information.

3) Other circumstances:

After seeing many moderators come and leave I think I have gained some experience concerning judging a personīs character and the compatibility for the job. I think your personality is adequate for the job and I think -if you change a few things concerning your posing!- you would make a good job. I donīt know how other members of CO2 community think of you but I donīt think you are a unpopular person.

Rating: [+]
I do not think there is much to say to this other than, again, thank you. I'll do my best to change my post habits, even if I do not get accepted into the position.

Conclusion

Not much to say now. Read part 3 and you know.

[+] + [o] + [+] = [+]

John Dread
I've responded to your responses(overuse of response? ). This is merely so you see what I say and how I take what you've said, I feel this is necessary even in a volunteer position - as we all know its necessary in a paid position .

You do not have to reply at all, like I said it was just so you can see how I understood you.


Thanks again,
Andy

Looking at your application,I must admit you have put alot of work into it.
As John said,if you continue to be persuasive in your posting here at e*pvp,you surely deserve to be a MOD.If you really like the game,it`s even better.

cheers

Thank you for your input I suppose.

Actually you may find that I've been as active as I am roughly distributed throughout the entire time I've been here.
I haven't grown any more active now then I have been before, though you are right I am trying to spread out more amongst the other Co forums, since obviously that is a negative look to my application.

It's good manners to do that, even if someone says something negative.

I can't give you one because you didn't give a good/bad comment

I don't mean to double post but I feel the need to, with reason though.

The conquer section is in serious need of moderation, the level of spam and general rule bypassing in the entire subsection is becoming crazy. Obviously nobody is to blame for this, there is just a lack of a moderating team there for now.

I respectfully understand if I am not the prime choice for a moderator, or if I am unacceptable; to be honest, I am simply trying to improve the overall conquer subsection.

#Admins / mods: Can't something be done for the Conquer section?

Thank you,

Andy

In my own opinion , tho i may not be the best person or active. I think Andyd123 would be the best mod for the job. He has been around for a very long time (old dinosaur you could say) and knows what he is talking about. Having his own private server and some of the many contributions he has contributed. I would give him a 10 out of 10 on a scale.

Good Luck andyd123, i hope you get the job now that i am back in action again. If you get the position good luck.
