Was Spitefulfox always a mod? I just saw him in yellow and I don't know who it is
That didn't take long :3

Do not wallow do not stall
Time waits for none at all
Your allowance may crawl,
It may fly or even vanish
But none will seem more lavished
Than time lost to all.
I posted an application, I am still waiting for a reply, I'm also good friends with WedTM (Miles) and I want him to also look at it, but he has only been online about 3 times this weekend for a total of 10minutes.
OT: How long does it take to get a reply?
Don't mind the post count, new account for new forums :tongue.gif:
Good luck to the new appointees. :smile.gif: I hope they fair better than the last lot though. I can't remember his name (he now shows as retired staff), but it was absolute mayhem with every other topic being locked by him for silly reasons. I remember quite a long discussion about it and I hope we don't see a repeat of that.
A lot of people just don't have the maturity nor frame of mind to be a good mod - generally speaking anyone under the age of 25. If you have to repeatedly ask "when will I know, when will I know?" then modding is not for you. Personally I don't think members with warnings on file should be considered at all as that just proves that they can't conduct themselves in a mature adult manner, but that's only my opinion. :unsure.gif:
After a nice little chit-chat with LWK a few days ago I did consider putting in an app myself, but with 400+ other apps and lots of eager kiddies all wanting a taste of power I think I'll let them do all the hard work and I'll keep to the sidelines and stick to reporting anything I feel deserves it. :cool.gif:
Many of us aren't looking for power, we just sincerely want to help. I've stuck with this forum for 8+ months so far, and I feel like I should be helping out and giving back. The forum can only benefit from more Mods, and as we grow larger we need more staff to keep up. And do you realize that many Mods have warnings already, and did before getting accepted? Quite often, you will find people warned for things like off-topic content and spam, when it isn't a huge deal...

I honestly cant decide why i want to be a mod. Of course I want to have power, as does everyone, but i've also gone through this whole thing (via SMP classes) and it's actually kinda hyped up a bit. However, I'm sure many people are going to be helpful/protectors of the forum whether they're Moderators or not, so i think some poeple are just in it for the status.
Personally, i think what i really want is to be a proud member and helper of the forums.
I want to know i'm making a difference for something i support. Not exactly be a mod :/

I actually enjoy the help threads (HD patcher and such). The only way to cut down on the many questions asked over and over is to answer them.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
"This may hurt a little, but it's something you'll get used to...."
Just a question about this but if I post an application would my post count or time that I joined have a major effect on it?
An example:
I joined a week ago with 120 posts
vs
I joined a year ago with 4,000 posts
And I had the exact same behaviour for both and never been warned/banned on either they are exactally the same except for the post count/time joined.
If there is an effect how big is it?
I believe that they don't really care, as long as you are a mature member of the community. Although for obvious reasons I doubt they'd accept someone who joined yesterday...

Please correct any spelling or grammatical I make.
I was number 100 and something, and I'm still waiting... Looks like they are looking at each one and responding to them each? I'm not sure what process they are using...
