-= 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
