If you were mod for a day...
 
...what would you do during that day?

This question relates [???=And mods... you don't need to post.]to PC only[/???]. Do not talk about other forums. Thank you.

Throat July 20th, 2010 7:52 AM

I would take the day off, of course

Captain Fabio July 20th, 2010 7:54 AM

I would close a lot of the pointless threads that are around.

Fire Wolf July 20th, 2010 8:05 AM

I'd do the obvious mod stuff, ie moving threads to the right section, closing pointless threads, deleting bad posts, and infracting if someone's really gotten out of hand.

N!ck July 20th, 2010 8:07 AM

I'd do nothing. There's nothing for me to do :l

Spinor July 20th, 2010 8:17 AM

Just a day? :\ Well there isn't much trouble in the sections where I usually am so a day is pointless. I guess I'd just admire how awesome my name looks in Bold blue like the '07 April fools. All I'd do is end up closing a thread or two. Then again I've always wondered how it feels to wave the Magical Closing Wand~... oh wait, nah, it's not that awesome. I've done it elsewhere before :(

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ July 20th, 2010 9:22 AM

Not much, probably. Just answer reports and close anything that needs to be closed. Otherwise, I'd just do what I normally do here on PC.

Cherrim July 20th, 2010 9:24 AM

I would revel in the fact that I'd only have to do reports from one forum. n_n

And then I would move this to OVP because it fits better there.

Eternal Nightmare July 20th, 2010 9:47 AM

Mod for a day. I would use my powers to infract everyone and move and close everything if I don't like it muahahahaha.

Nah but seriously I would do what I do everyday on PC as I'm hardly on anyway because of my new job :P.

Sammi July 20th, 2010 10:20 AM

I would change OVP for the better.
  1. Replace the OVP rules with "worship sammi-san".
  2. In that vein, make an announcement about how awesome I am and how I would be the best OVP mod of all time.
  3. Ban all the people I didn't like, giving them completely random ban reasons (assuming that I'd have custom infractions).
  4. Lock all the threads that were older than a month old, because the thought of the mods having to un-lock them all again is hilarious.
  5. Edit the posts of random members, just because I can.
  6. Spam up the mod sections. (Okay so this doesn't change OVP but whatever.)
  7. See if I'd get demoted before my 24 hours were up for all of the above.

...in a dream world with no consequences, anyway. Most likely if it did happen I'd just be a good little mod and do work for a day. Even if I don't want to. Seriously, what's the point of only modding for a day, anyway? :s

But I wouldn't get banned for it, I would seriously consider doing all the irresponsible things I couldn't do as a mod. Just to shake things up for a day. 8) PC is so boring lately! Of course I still wouldn't do it, simply because I have a conscious.

Thanks! It took me a while to figure out where to post. First it was "Life, The Universe, And Everything", then the Community "Questions & Feedback" forum, then "Other Chat".

For me, I'd try to talk to Rukario to try and extend my time. XD

Charizard★ July 20th, 2010 12:01 PM

I would clean out all the spammers, rude posts, and hang out the in the Staff threads xD

Pokémon Ranger ✩ Moriarty July 20th, 2010 12:55 PM

Permaban all of the new noobs (and usual suspects) in the Black & White section who fail at reading comprehension. Then I might actually be able hang around there again without braining myself against my keyboard.

Same here. These things are important for mods to do to keep the community up and running and civil.

Luck July 20th, 2010 1:03 PM

I'd abuse my power and laugh at the people who suddenly kiss my ass because I became a mod.

I'd be a pretty terrible moderator.

Sydian July 20th, 2010 1:36 PM

If I was a mod, I wouldn't post in this thread because I'd be too busy doing mod things.

A Pixy July 20th, 2010 2:02 PM

Do my job.

Close some threads, answer reports, hand out infractions where necessary.

It's not like asking 'If you were God for a day...', you're just given slightly more power and other things at the cost of some form of responsibility.

The only different thing I'd do is ask for my name to revert to normal and the mod bar removed so I can post in DLTMSA without 0ing it. >_>

Timbjerr July 20th, 2010 2:09 PM

Probably the same things I did when I was a mod a long time ago, closing pointless threads, moving threads where they go, deleting spam posts, everything short of infracting people (that wasn't around way back then. XD)

...and most importantly, spamming up the moderator lounge. :P

Alwaysbored July 20th, 2010 3:05 PM

i would mod something simple probably.

I would do the same as you...

seeker July 20th, 2010 3:26 PM

To be honest, when I wasn't a mod, I never thought about what I'd be doing if I was actually a mod. Though now that I am, I just do things I expected a mod would be doing. In any case, I was eager to hand out my first (deserved) emblem for one, answer a report and close a thread. I did it all fairly quickly so I guess I'm fufilled, but you tend to create little goals for yourself, well I do at least, when you've got nothing to do.

Legobricks July 20th, 2010 3:32 PM

I currently muse myself at how the administration could use threads like this to whittle out people particularly unsuited for a staff position, granted the posts are not necessarily serious. Probably not to much effect. None the less, I do see a lot of "ban stupid people" — really? Again probably not; but 'stupid' is quite a vague and subjective word, and I'm left to wonder just how subjective one can get before their +4 Moustache of Authority needs realigning.

Anyway, taking the liberty of assuming I am not actually replacing someone for this hypothetical day so much as merely supplementing them, I wouldn't do anything unless it was clearly in breach of the rules; I wouldn't want to risk the notion of muddying the day of the local full-time mod who's already proud enough of their work. I would also explore the forums my new group permissions allow me to view.

Eeohnex July 20th, 2010 6:59 PM

As soon as I became a Moderator, I'd give infractions to random people just to create some chaos around the forums.

But seriously, I guess I'd do a Moderator's job; give infractions, lock threads, edit posts, move threads, delete threads, delete spam messages and all that good stuff. To be honest, I wouldn't have the time to be an active Moderator. Being a Moderator is a big responsibility and it could turned to a lot of work depending on the community.

Nick July 20th, 2010 7:17 PM

I spent time working on the rules for Other Entertainment in the first 24 hours I was a moderator, and looking around the staff forums.

Since I'm already a moderator, I'll just take it "If you were s-mod for a day", in which case, I would spend the entire day reading threads in the HQ. I'd likely get banned after the 24 hours considering that stuff's top secret. Same goes if I was an AA or an SA for the day as well, only in their respective forums.

redsaber5859 July 20th, 2010 7:20 PM

Be an awesome mod in the most awesome section!
(yes im jealous of you sydian XD)
