Want to be a moderator?

I'll throw myself out there to be moderator. I can keep order when it needs to be kept and I know the game as well as the community.

PANIC98, you're also a serial spammer, which would put you out of the running with no further considerations if it were my call.

Seriously. Just look at this place. Roughly half of the posts that get made these days are completely and utterly pointless, contributing nothing and serving no purpose. Whoever gets charged with cleaning that lot up.... well, it sure ain't an enviable task, let's leave it at that.

If y'all wanna get taken seriously, remember that quantity is no substitute for quality. A tool with a high post count is, when all's said and done, still a tool.

You'd be better served with fewer posts of a higher quality than with many posts of a lower quality, because even if there's less posts with your name on 'em, people will know that they're usually worth reading.

Alright i wont complain if i am out of running but i wanted to help anyway i can.
I know i haven't paid my lofty contributions yet but i am not a "serial spammer"
Just someone aiming to high without the experience needed to level my self as an admin or moderater but i personally don't need a title to help people.

"remember that quantity is no substitute for quality"
Best post ive read all day

Been there, done that. You know you can always tap my shoulder if you really need somebody, though. Kudos to the supermods for keeping the place clean since Mikouen stepped down. Stand up job to them, for sure.

i'll third the nomination for AshuraDX. he has a vast knowledge of the game, and game modding in general, keeps a cool head n stays patient when i bug him, (which is a lot believe me), and he's just a pretty decent person all around. I know you didnt ask for nominations, but if it was anyone i'd say him. Three for tha hedgehog

I'd reccommend the staff take a look at Raz0r and Hirman.

Raz0r knows a lot about the workings of JA, is a respectable coder for a variety of projects (including his own), and has done moderation before.

Hirman is a great animator, which means he has patience. He has contributed a lot to the animation department and has always been friendly to people asking questions.

I haven't seen either of these individuals fly off the handle or start calling people noobs and stuff. Neither of them have been serial spammers either.

It would still be strange to have a mod with red reputation. What's that? A nazi enforcerer of rules or something? Usually a person needs to do something to get neg repped unless he/she's just really unlucky. And who needs an unlucky moderator? The job's tough enough even with luck.

People with low post counts and late registeration dates but who claim to have been around for years: That does zilch to help members to know you. And you only know the members as well as an outside observer can know.

That being said, I'm not interested. I didn't post for that reason. I already did my share of moderating a JO/JA editing forum years ago. Sorry for the spam.

People will laugh, and cackle...

But I'm up to the challenge.

[Mikouen]

So is everyone else, but most aren't interested for the right reasons.

[Hirman]

I think Raz0r would be a great fit.
