If I was asked to become a Mod, I'd probably have a tough time deciding on a section to Mod. I'm not really active in a particular section, so that would be a major problem.

Still, if they asked me, I'd take them up on the offer in a heartbeat, regardless of the 'modding forum' issue.

I heavily regret quitting the PC staff the first time around, so if the opportunity ever arose again, I'd jump on it. As it is now, I'd love having Pokemon General or General Pokemon Gaming as I think I'm most active in those two sections. :D

I'm sure Mooji or Syd wouldn't mind. >:]

hmm, I don't have much time but...
teh internetz>time imho. Anyhow I'd probably mod in BW, I just think I spent a lot of time there, and I try my best to answer everyone's questions to the best of my ability, because I know what its like to have your question unanswered.
Or I'd like to co-mod challenges w/ syd -awesomeface.jpg-

Like a lot of people.. I love the Black and White area, and I would say I'd totally mod there - but no. D: I don't care to read every single thread, nor do I care to know enough about the games just yet to be able to properly moderate that area. xD; I like reading bits and pieces, not spoiling / knowing everything thus far.

Like Audy, I'd go back to NU/W if I were ever to be a regular mod again.

Pokemon Anime would be my second choice, then OVP, and maybe.. that on area.. Japanese Entertainment. Yeah. That place. Don't post in it much, but I certainly know enough about the content to mod there. xD;

Other than Pokémon Trivia, there will honestly be only one other place that I wouldn't mind modding, and that would be Other Trivia. Any other section chances are I would decline, as I'm not really active in any other area, and thus I wouldn't bother reading all the posts that flow through.

If I was asked to be modded I'd say yes. I mean, they asked you if you could moderate that forum because you hang out there a whole lot, so you must like the forum you would moderate. =P

I would want... Not much Emulation anymore... Kinda left that forum behind me. Plus ex-emulation staff members say it was hard. x-x I would... Probably go around B/W. It would be an excuse to pay attention to the newest B/W stuff. xD Or I might start going to the FanFic area.

If I was asked to be mod, I would definately say yes. It is like, my dream. I would love to be mod around, B/W; HG/SS; Computers and Technology; Tabletop Games; or OVP/OT. Anything else I'm not too interested in, but I would mod whatever section that was wanted of me, aside from emulation, rom hacking etc, because I know nothing about them. I would love it if I was asked to mod a section I visit regularly though.

Funnily enough, I was never actually asked to take the position, I was invited into a group conversation in which various staff members were in, I didn't think too much of it, and as I was browsing PC, I noticed a few extra options, and that I had a report. I was then told that I had been modded in Graphics and Photography and Competitions. It was unexpected, though mainly because I felt that the sections weren't going to have another section moderator for a long time. In saying that, if I could have chosen any board on PC, the ones I got in the beginning would have been top of my list. Closely followed by Other Entertainment, in which I do moderate now, so I suppose my desire to moderate those sections did come true.

However, in saying the above, and disregarding it for my next point; if I was not already a section moderator, it would be somewhat difficult to choose what sections would be best suited to my tastes. My most active sections other than those of my own, would include Other Voting Polls to an extent, in which I feel I wouldn't mind moderating at all. It is quite a nice and friendly section, it almost feels like a section more warm than that of Other Chat, though both sections are favourable, though OVP more so. I suppose it would be the section I enjoy posting in most when I'm not in my usual spots. I used to visit CQ&F quite a lot, and I felt that I knew the section pretty well due to my experience on PC and getting to know the place quite well - in retrospect I may have gotten to know it in a short time, how as ever, I grew attached quickly also -, so I feel that it would not be a bad section in which to moderate. Though, the thing about CQ&F is, nobody knows everything about PC and therefore, not even the section moderator can always be sure, so it's a good section to leave at the domain of the higher staff and those who like to report within it. Pushing away from sections I mostly post in, I suppose I visit Game Development a lot, but this is due to having my own game and having a lot of friends from the section who I like to check in on. Though the section is quite nice also, and it's one that doesn't bare the same hustle and bustle as that of ROM Hacking, so it would be more easy going to moderate. However, I feel that it does need a lot of care. Finally, I suppose I might be considered active in Webmasters Discussions and maybe even Computers & Technology, even if my posts are seldom in the latter, I do visit it on an almost daily basis.

I tend to jump around quite an extent, as shown in my last post, I'm never confined to one or two sections, though sometimes I feel this relates to my own personality; I have far too many interests. I used to be far more active in Other Trivia, though I eventually moved on and my posts grew into things that felt they should be more on topic, as opposed to mindlessly chatting in TCTI and threads such as that. Though, I have had 2 stickies there in the past, and a number of threads, so I'll always have my foot in the door there, some day I might become active. On that note, I believe that the Poetry section and Other Writing were my most active sections along side OT when I joined. I started Poem of the Week there, which is still going now, but hosted by someone else. Must have been over a year ago now. But I also liked to post my own work and offer critique as best I could when I had an interest in helping out there more so, but I feel that a lot of the poets I liked who posted within the section have moved on, and so did I. Even though I do go there on occasion, it's a pity to have seen it fall into the depths again after I had been so prevalent there in my earlier days. All in all, there's a lot of sections I like here on PC, you could probably throw me in anywhere so long as there's rules and I wouldn't mind doing my job. But of course, I'm always happy with the sections I have, I wasn't modded there by chance - as if anyone ever is -, and so they're probably the sections best suited to me, or on par with a few sections that I don't at most.

Yes! I'd love to be a mod! If I were a mod, it would be of the new COOL&CREATE section in Japanese Entertainment where I would then proceed to rage about the inactivity and get permabanned for it. /INJOKES

On a serious note, no. Managing a thread on an imageboard and being a very active contributor to a wikia, both of which have a single admin who doesn't do anything, has taught me that idiots are everywhere and a pain to deal with. My superiority complex is big enough and a mod position would only serve to make it bigger.

Ah, this question again. If I were to be asked to moderate somewhere in the community, chances are I won't decline unless something drastic in real life happened recently that would mean no time can be wasted online. I'm on at least a few minutes per day recently and I can't see time being a huge conflict in the (near) future. Section-wise, I wouldn't mind taking responsibility for the sections I'm most active in and pretty much got the rules down: Other Trivia, Japanese Entertainment, Other Voting Polls, Pokemon Trivia, or maybe NU/W.

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 know exactly what you mean, sirrah. Just yesterday I had four new members put into the stocks because they expressed a desire to post in the part of this fair forum under my reign. We can't be having people disturbing the precarious equilibrium in place, now can we?

And obviously I would say yes to being made a moderator because... well I've said once before so I imagine I would do so again. The sections of the forum I would most like to moderate (other than my own Game Development section, of course) are: Fan Fiction and Writing; Let's Plays, Guides and Reviews; and the Roleplay section.

I would also like to moderate the section that is like a squawking coffee cup playing checkers whenever that one finally gets implemented.

If I was offered a position I would consider it and probably say yes, however there are people more capable of moderating than I am in the sections I would be interested in, so depending on the circumstances I might recommend them for the job instead. I'm most active (or spend most of my time) in the Fan Fiction, Other Entertainment, Other Chat, Other Voting Polls, HG/SS, General Pokémon Gaming in that order, however I think a mod with better writing/grammar skills like Valentine or Astinus would be more suited to the position in Fan Fiction, Vendak would be a better candidate for Other Entertainment, there are countless more experienced members in Other Chat and Other Voting Polls - so really I'm not expecting to be asked any time soon.

Well, I know for sure that if I was asked to be a mod, I'd just sit there in amazment and stare at the screen in disbelief as if it wasn't actualy happening. I'd most likey start to hyperventilate too.. xD; Though if asked, I'd certainly love to look after Other Chat since I frequent there most. ^__^

I'd accept. I have time on my hands, and I don't mind helping out lmfao.

But I have a hard time seeing me being as showy as some of the staff. My bad grammar will never change and no one takes me serious as a boss anyways ಠ_ಠ!!

I never really considered myself the 'mod' or whatever type. If I were to be asked to be one, I would like to say yes, but I won't. I have too many responsibilities and real people to take care of in real life, so no. I can also be lazy sometimes, so you might expect me to neglect some rule breaking and spam.

I really wouldn't know about me being a moderator, I mean, it would be an honour and everything, but I'm not sure I'd fit the position of being a moderator. If a staff member thought that I had the ability to take on the position I might, but from being a super moderator in the past I know the work that goes into it, it would take a while to adjust back into that routine (because of school, homework, and such), but I certainly would if I had the position. If I had to chose a section, it would be the OVP, because I post here the most often making it feel like home.

In the high, high improbability that I am modded, I'd prefer it to be in OC, OVP or OE. Mostly because those are the sections I frequent and like the most.

I can't say I'm active enough in many sections to the point where I'd feel totally and completely happy modding anything but what I mod now. But if I was doing it all over and had my pick of any section and qualifications didn't matter I might pick FF&W instead despite only having posted there like 3 or 4 times. I could get back into writing while doing something to help PC. It would be a challenge modding an area I don't really know, yeah, but it could still be fun.
