    posted a message on Applying to be a moderator
    Quote from TyGuy1050

    If you do not have timeti read through 2,000 posts then you would not have time to be a moderator in my opinion. Mods are keeping the forums a safe and friendly place for everyone so they have to practically read every thread and post to make sure they are following the rules and a not off topic.

    Correct me if I'm wrong in any way on that mods.

    You are right of course, however on a huge forum as minecraftforum it is pretty hard to read évery message. We sure do check as much as we can and I always look and search content to see if it is safe, but it's impossible for us to read through 2000 posts at once. Luckily, because of that we have the report button which is really useful. Of course we moderate non-reported messages as exactly as we moderate the reported ones but it does really help us point out where the bad content is.

    I totally agree with cestislife but I would like to add that when you have applied 1 or 2 times, you can be sure that your message has been seen and that people have been thinking really hard. If you aren't accepted you probably aren't suitable to be a mod yet so it's no use sending another application straight after the other ones. You might want to wait a few months before sending a new one, instead of spamming us with more applications.

    Sacheverell is a genius.


    • Due to low usage, the following sections will be deleted from the forum on April 14th:
      • Off-Topic
      • Servers
      • Mods
      • Minecraft Discussion
      • Contact Forum Administration
      • Videos
    • All rule infractions will now result in an email being sent to the users' parents. The staff felt that suspensions and bans were not effective, and that this new measure will be far more proactive in establishing a friendly environment for everyone.
    • I will be retiring from MCF to pursue my lifelong dream of being a mime.


    I know everyone can read them theirselves but I thought that these were the most hilarious :P

    Shame that half of those features would actually be good for the game.

    Exactly my thoughts :P

    Quote from RSMDelons

    It happened. It sucks, but it happened. I think we need to come up with a way to make it not happen again, because apparently the risk of being fired is not bad enough for them.


    I can't think of any way to prevent this from happening apart from firing a person (or maybe even add banning to the list although I see no use in that)


    It's shocking that someone would leak such information, but again, an accident waiting to happen. For such a large forum, lots of people are hired. The hiring is mostly based on how they behave and how they present themselves in their apps. Of course, the amount of reports a contestant did are visible and the general behaviour can be seen in the contestant's posts, but it's still never clear to see when a moderator is really ready to see the information. To be honest, I have never done a report before I became a moderator and I was, although being a 2 year old member, relatively new on the forums with only just a few hundreds of posts.

    I suggest that I was chosen over my motivation and of course I know that I would never leak any information, but someone else might if he is just hired because of the amount of reports he does and his motivation.
    But is there really a good way to tell if someone is trustworthy? People get betrayed all the time by other people and there's hardly any way to tell until the bad stuff has already happened.

    It's hard to avoid such a thing from happening but I think pressing the point that people who leak info WILL be fired is the only useful approach. It might just catch the people ignorant about posting staff-only information.

    I think the only thing that could be done is a look at how people are hired (for which some staff-members have already made great ideas like nodachi's in the admin section) by adding new options to look into the people a little more. But the main thing to do will probably just be the trusting of hired staff and hoping that ­ like this doesn't happen too much.

    Luckily, I haven't seen much leaking in my time here but such a big one like here is really bad and I'm glad the person who leaked it is fired.

    I am just replying to see if anything might be done with this idea, because I think it would be a shame to let it go unnoticed.
