...keeping the theme of mod-related threads! (And the last one somewhat similar died, hahaha)

Basically, if you were asked to become a moderator, would you accept or decline? If you accepted, what section would you want? If you declined, why? Is it due to having other priorities and not enough time? Or maybe just not interested?

The rest of us can say what forums we'd take if we didn't have our already amazingly perfect section[s]. Oh and the upper staff can say if they were a mod again, whether they'd take their old sections - as in, are they the same as they remember or have they changed too much to want to look after them again?

As for me, I wouldn't give up B/W for any section. I love it too much, buuuut, if I didn't have it, probably OVP, or something. GPG doesn't seem too hard, same goes for PT. Any other PC sections I wouldn't take. And yes, the three I mentioned already have mods, which helps that this is hypothetical. XD

By the way guys, B/W is like the best section ever, not that I'm bias or anything.

Well if I was modded, which is my ultimate dream. (Not saying I am asking to be one), I'd definately accept since I spend most of my time here on PC. If I was I would really like to moderate Other Chat, Other Entertainment, Other Voting Polls, Pokemon Groups and Pokemon General since I linger around them the most.

If I were to become a Mod (fingers crossed one day I will in the far future) I would love to Mod the B/W section too! I literally read every single post each day. And I am not even a Mod XD I cant help it, I am too excited about B/W that I have to read everything in that forum.

First I would take into account that I'm going to be starting college in January and won't have nearly as much free time as I have now. After those first five seconds of responsible thought I would proceed to alter my schedule to better fit my modding responsibilities. :D /shot.

As for what section I'd want to mod, I would hands-down choose the Art Gallery because it's practically a ghost town it's something that's actually important to me and therefore I care what goes on there whether I'm a mod or not. I lurk in virtually everyone's thread as it is. xD

If I was modded, I'd accept the position because I (almost) always know what to do in the threads (staying on topic, following the rules, etc.). I'd mod the Pokemon video gaming sections (B/W, HG/SS, D/P/Pt, R/S/E/FR/LG).

When I was younger, being a mod was cool, and epic, and everything good. Mods were like, God. Nowadays, I would consider it a priviledge, but not necessarily beneficial, to either me or the community. As often is the case with many moderators, I might let it get to my head or become a bigger dick than I already am. Anyways, I've have to serve in the army soon, so it would just be irresponsible to the community.

For a long time, I did want to be a mod. Now? Well, I still kind of do. Except now I'm not just power hungry like I used to be. Really, I'd like to give more into the community, but I can't really do that with more money (Having absolutely nothing now), and my posts? Well, I always normally offend someone with my posts, so yeah.

But if for some odd reason I did get modded, then I'd like to be the mod of either the Pokemon RP or General sections. Former because I used to go there a lot, and latter because I am active there a lot.

I would love to be a mod. I've had experience modding at other sites & stuff so it wouldn't be that hard to fall back into routine. As for what section, I would love to have Pokemon General or Pokemon groups <3

If I were asked to become a moderator, I would accept for sure. I would like to be of assistance to the community and I always thought it would be awesome to be a mod.
I would want to mod… New Users/Welcome, Other Voting Polls, Other Trivia, or Pokémon Trivia. Those are all sections I feel that I know the rules well, feel comfortable in, and know what has been going on in them.

Well, if the Staff thinks that I'm qualified for the position, then I'd accept.

Hmmm, I would like either OC, OVP, or Other Entertainment, or I could steal B&W from Nica. >:] B&W would top my personal list, though.

No. I've lost all respect for those with power on internet forums, since they almost always turn out to be autocratic users misguided towards their goal of a "greater good". Besides, I do not fully agree with the rules.

I'd decline. I'm really not the type to take on a responsibility of any sort on the internet when I've got enough real ones to deal with.

I don't think I'm entirely 'cut out for it' but I'd regret not taking the opportunity, to better myself and the community.
this, though i'm not entirely sure what being "cut out for it" entails.

i would never request to be appointed modship, but i do feel somewhat responsible for the current social environment (due to a personal contribution) of Other Chat and obliged to keep it active/taken care of (given the past, a lot of us know how fragile it is). i don't feel entitled to that specific position (or any other for that matter), but if given the opportunity, i suppose i would take it.

I modded HeartGold and SoulSilver for about six months, and within that time found myself interested in Pokémon Anime. A little over a week before getting promoted to S-mod, I got the chance to be the new moderator of Pokémon Anime for a short period. If I ever had to go back, I'd take them both back.

Although, I've found quite the interest in Black and White and Other Chat. Even though it would help if I posted there more than I do. Just saying.

Only if it's Japanese Entertainment.

But I had a very negative experience when I was modded at another forum (which has since folded, thank God). As a mod on that site, I was harassed and insulted by the higher up staff for not doing anything even though the section I was in charge of was basically dead anyway. It was enough to make me leave the place.

I would be invigorated, but despondent at the same time.
Sure the idea of being a mod is great. I would love to be a mod some day. But at the pace my life is going, and how I'm handling things, I wouldn't really have much time on my hands and the idea doesn't fit for me right now. But yes, I would accept if given the opportunity. I'm not really sure about which section I would like to take though. 8\

If i were asked, if I were going to accept. I'd take one of the Trivia sections or OVP, yeahh. but I probably wouldn't accept...I don't think I'm on PC enough. Sides. Modly Mod powers aren't that great.

and when I think about it. I don't feel like I'm cut out to be a Mod P:
