Moderator Applications - Open!

[The Professor]

Yeah, well some of the Moderators wouldnt like that would they because usually Moderating is an automated task. Personally I've always loved the ideas of Moderators interacting with Users because when that barrier of how MODs & users are completely different, is broken then the users won't be so free to break rules but they'll take it easy since they know that the MODs are only human also. A concept in HabboxForum which was long forgotten tbh...

Only thing I'd do to wind Users up is if they support a footy team which lost or something, I'd write "PS. Whats the score? LOL" but hey, just breaking down barriers! I do think you should maybe take applications that you like from everyday and put them in a special folder to summarize at the end of the 7day period. Makes your job so much faster and less cumbersome too.

We are on the same wavelength with that one, removing the barrier is precisely the reason for the changes. The moderators have asked their favourite forums and shuffled around accordingly so they can post around while moderating, and the infraction button is seeing much less use in favour of the PM button. It's not going completely unused though, some members are deciding to take advantaged of the more relaxed nature and giving lip back the moderators, in which case they get a trip to infraction city. Its a shame people decide to behave like that really, it'd all work so well if they didn't...

I think I'll tackle the apps all in one go, I hate doing bits of jobs at different times. No real reason, its just a pet hate of mine. I'm really not fussed about it being a long task, compared to the amount of admin work I had to do in the upgrade the other day it'll seem easy

Good luck to all apply. We look forward to seeing those who pass in the Zoo moderation department

I have decided not to apply to this most amazing job ever because I'm too busy . I would never be able to edit a post every 40 seconds like some mods can, it just blows my mind away. I am sure the 6 chosen will be talented in what they do.

On another side, I hope anyone who applies gets in because they'd probably earn it . Goodluck EVERYONE!

-Also, nice going with applications Alex

[The Professor]

Ignore? They're the star attraction!

I love it when all my jobs are done, means I can mess around on the forums for an hour or two

Yeah, good choice on removing the barrier. I know that people who used to be MODs used to talk to me on MSN saying about how much they hated their given catagory and would rather prefer the one they liked posting in, so that's a motivational boost for them. Has the amount of infractions and warnings to get you banned, been decreased due to the unlikelyness of infractions? Well thing is, most people don't break the rules and even then they do it unaware that they're actually doing it.

A simple polite request usually makes them feel like the MOD is trying to protect them from being banned from the community for their mistakes. Theres users on this forum who've been banned for doing things they never meant to be intentional and it's just built up over time but they never knew they were doing it until it was too late! Systems like this really do help that, even though they are time-consuming at times, the increased effort pays off in the longhaul.

I'm guessing you're one of those people who prefer to do coursework fully rather than leaving it till a later date then? Oh and on the topic of Zoos, would this be in any reference to mens mags? ;D!
