If you were asked to be a Moderator, what would be your answer?

panda was taken
my answer would be yes
does answer your question?

HBK
My answer would be


" GIVE ME YOUR ****ING MONEY! PUT THE ****ING **** IN A ****ING BROWN ****ING BAG"

Snoopbert
I'd say no. No good I can do here anyway with... certain people in certain positions.

Rogue Jedi
well, duh......

my answer is no. i sign on here to relax. i think if i was a mod, it would be like a job. too much responsibility for me. that doesnt mean i dont respect the hell out of the mods here, cuz i really do.

Blood_Rayne
Yeah I would.

I'd probably accept the offer to be honest.

Alpha Centauri
I'd say no. Because I would likely end up not being impartial, pissing someone off with decisions I made or something. At least I'm honest about that.

I think if anyone says yes, they should think about what it means.

Being a mod means more or less kissing goodbye to siding with the friends you have on here. If you have power, you have to use it objectively and impartially or there's no point being a mod. You have to be impartial and fair regardless of having a good day or a bad day, because that's a bit silly. People all too often just want to have the title, not the job.

my job is impartiality so I'd say sure! id love to do my civic duty here on KMC

A1, scenario for ya:

A really, really close KMC friend is trolling someone, being abusive, whilst getting equal amounts of trolling and abuse in return. Who do you ban?

Honest answer is suggested.

I would ban the friend.

a1hsauce
first off, I try hard, like go out of my way hard, to not have close friends on KMC. so that question doesnt apply to me stick out tongue

lol but ill answer anyway...I ban both...I tell my KMC friend that A) im sorry, this is the part of my job as a Mod that I need to carry out, you know the rules come back in 3 days.... I also ban the other perp.. telling them the exact same thing. You know the rules. take a 3 day vacation...if this persistes...im sorry, there are other forums. Go join them.

Lana
Well, I was asked, and I said yes....I certainly didn't expect to be asked though!

Alpha Centauri
Provided that in the event of such occurances you could actually do what you said, then that's the exact way to go.

I all too often hear "Rules are rules, break them and pay for it" when people do actually break them and don't actually pay for it.

Edit: That was to the Saucemeister.

i like to live by this rule...for every friend you loss..there are two other friendless people out there. go hang out with them

i woudnt need to ban any friends, because if they was playing up then i would tell them not to piss about anymore, if they really are your friend then they will listen to you and appreciate your situation

Like I said, being partial isn't something that can be allowed in a mod.

What's the point in having bans if you can commit a bannable offense but escape it by just not committing more bannable offenses?

Makes it all a bit redundant.

Because I'll know that I'll eventually make some stupid decision leading to hate from others, like an undeserved ban. I'm not immune to bitterness and anger, you know.

if you want to be loved then dont be a mod.
part of being a mod is making decisions that wont always favour others.
not being liked is part of the job.

and poeple make mistake. but if someone is banned there usually a reason,
and if the reason seems unfust it mat be disgusted.

if your afraid of bieng hated by others if you become a mod just say that.
dont call yourself naive, becuase you understand more then you give yourself credit for.

DarkC
Any of the current moderators are far more mature than I am anyways. erm

People seem to generally like me, even if I have to hand their asses to them from time to time. Even Sorgo and kmcdude, who I yell at when their little forum war gets out of hand, and some previously banned folks too.

Though, sometimes it's just ass-kissing so that they won't be banned/can be unbanned.

Alpha Centauri
It's not really under control anyway, because it happens.

There are mods who do and mods who don't. Or at least there are mods I haven't SEEN do anything untoward. Whether they have in places I don't visit, is possible.

-AC

GCG
I dont see why some Mods who havent frequented this place in ages remain Mods. messed

Captain REX
Some would say that moderators aren't either.

We're just people after all, but we're the ones that Raz said 'Hey, you seem like a bright shining star amongst these lackluster new folk, wanna be a mod?'

Usually the people who don't like moderators were a) warned b) had a friend who was a moderator but isn't paid any favors c) just plain idiots.

Alpha Centauri
And the people who believe it's as open and shut as three simple reasons that don't incriminate the mods in any way are:

A) Mods.

B) There is no B.

Originally posted by Captain REX

I'm not bringing it up, no. But if you wanna discuss it, I can expose some shit. Your decision. I've been lured into a ban by a mod before and multiple people saw it happen, including a mod who agreed with me all along and it won't happen again.

What does irk me is mods retorting with simple reasons as to why people might be unhappy with them. Not to say any of the reasons you said are wrong, they're not. Just that there is more to it than pure mod hatred as you would lead people to believe.

You can't claim mods are people too and then act like everyone who calls them out on their mistakes are jealous, irrational idiots. It holds less water than a popped balloon.

Storm
It takes a long period of time to become a good moderator. I' m always receptive to honest and constructive criticism/feedback. I' m interested to hear on which points I can improve myself.

So feel free to PM me to evaluate my moderator skills, or lack off and provide me food for thought.

..better yet think of Batman...he seeks ways to fight injustice....No, how about Anakin Skywalker! He learns the ways of the Jedi and then avoids joining the dark side.......no NO wait! How about....

so.. hipothetically speaking...
I'm being offered a mod job, and I accept it
then I'm making a great use of it, and get demoted.

It would be a waste of time to me purplequeen1


and I'd never be offered it, so there is no point in even considering it.

Laurie
I was asked to be an 'OP' twice, a couple of years ago, on another website. I immediately refused both times. When you think about it an OP, or a Mod has to be very committed; I could not see myself giving that kind of committment timewise; I'm not that unselfish...

I think that being impartial must be, sometimes, extremely hard...in all honesty, I would have to say that I probably wouldn't always be 100% impartial. Being an OP or Mod cannot be easy; I don't envy them.

We're not. She just questions every single thing and takes every single thing way too literally.

I'm actually afraid to say anything to her incase she asks me to explain it, because that usually takes about four posts.

If someone says something, she'll take it serious then the person tries to explain and she ends up not getting it. Then all hell done broke'd loose.
