Thanks. Yeah I'm totally not going anywhere. I'll still be welcoming newbs and choosing NMI social threads to be my home. I just wanted to share the joy of being a mod to someone new :)

I'll also still be moderating NEMD so it's not like my login time will begin to die out.

It was a loving and awesome 2+ years as Moderator here. I've changed so much in those 2 years it's crazy. I hope being part of the staff will change the new mod for the better as well :)

It's always a good personal development and introspective tool to write about yourself whether you think you have a shot or not. Plus if you are ever thinking about a position farther along in the distant future when your kids have all gone to college, your mid life crisis is in the past, and you just want the opportunity to relive your lost youth by welcoming cute new greenlighters, it can't hurt to have gotten your name under consideration previously (i.e. now) so that your name has been passed around before.

But if I did that I would probably get chosen.... and I quite honestly don't feel that I have the time in my life right now to devote to being a mod... I'm extremely open to hearing any coherent opinion even if I totally disagree with it... I just don't like when someone gets angry over me having a difference of opinion... then I get snarky lol...

But most of the tim I find myself lurking and just reading because writing and wording and editing out a good reply just doesn't fit into my 30sec I have to check...

Perhaps when I've graduated ill have a bit more consistent free time and will be a better candidate... in the mean time I think most of the mods on my regular forums I visit know me better than I could explain in an application...

Besides I figure to be a mod you should have at least a thousand or so posts... is there any standard guideline regarding post count to be a mod?
 
No, plus you've been around since before your latest account.
Usually it takes someone who participates in the particular forum who is friendly and helpful.
Post quality over post quantity.
 
Totally. It's basically dedicated to all music except for dance and electronic stuff.

Ah well time constraint is different then. You said before that you didn't think you were mod material. I know it was probably just a little self deprecating humour but I thought I'd buoy you up a bit anyways. :)

Also (although there are different types of mods who fill different niches) most good ones are pretty well rounded and socially adept. This means that a lot of mods will admit to have engaged in less than mod like behaviour in the past (perhaps even clever but mean quips and subtle insults for poor posts and annoying users). Many even have warnings and infractions from their more puerile time on the site.

So long as one can demonstrate their professional side and leave the more blatant immature attitude out of sight of the public there is no reason why a little past snarkyness will count that badly against you.
 
@amapola- not having the proper time to reserve for mod duty is what makes me "not mod material"...

If I was a moderator most of my comments would probably have a lot different tone to them just because its then the mods responsibility to represent the site as a somewhat helpful and easily approachable entity to mostnew users... this requires that they will trus that your not going to belitte or embarass them while at the same time teaching them and answering questions in a useful descriptive manner...

Noblesse oblige... lol
 
Puerile. That's a five dollar word if there ever was one. ;P (Sorry, I'm in a joke-y mood!)

Also, I definitely lol'd at that, CI. Maybe you can over-do moderation, though...? Like, being moderate with everything all the time would make everything mediocre?? I don't even know!
 
Idk now I'm somewhat interested.... approximately how many nmi post do you each make a day? Aside from this thread... I'm taalking about actually introducing yourself and welcoming newbies... I used to try to read thru and would often comment if I had something good to say but haven't done much of that lately just because I didn't get many responses lol...
 
Depends on the day and or my mood.
Somedays I don't welcome anyone. Somedays I'm really feeling it and welcome more than I really need to.

You gotta be able to send them in the right direction if they come onto the forum seeking something in particular.
You need to be okay with repetition.
And I never knew I would be able to come up with some many different ways of saying basically "hello"
It's rewarding though when you welcome and newb and watch them bloom into quality posters.
 
^Screw the money, Id so much rather the unlimited access to midget porn we get ;)

Seriously though, I haven't been around NMI for all that long and haven't gotten to know Laika that well either but mate, you sound like a top bloke and am glad your sticking around in the staff. I might have to pop my head into NEMD more often too :)
 
midget porn....wheres the application form at??

One of the things in life i have to do is ,now this may sound fucked up,and it is....

But, i want to fuck a red headed dwarf,that has only one leg,and has taurets..(- im sure thats spelt wrong,but you know what i mean...) im pretty easy at the moment on the sex of the dwarf...gay,straight,its allll the same.
