Regarding: PC rolemodels.

Many of us have people we look up to on PC for one reason or another. Whether it be their personality, their actions, or something else - or just somebody you admire in general on here. Who are your rolemodels on PC and why?

(And yes I am aware there is a thread asking what a rolemodel is, but not one asking who people's rolemodels are!)

I consider Went, Erica (Lightning), Jake (Hiroshi Sotomura) and Nick (Patchisou Yutohru) my rolemodels. I'm not entirely sure why, but together their personalities combined and heir attitudes towards others here for most of the time is something to look up to. While, Jake is the only speciality one, because he knows a lot about B/W and he knows how to mod B/W well, or game forums in general, knowing what to do in pretty much every situation without really any second thoughts, so I look up to him for that reason basically. However, combined, they're who I admire the most. As for non-staff rolemodels, I consider Signomi a person who I admire because she's nice to everyone, or at least most people, as well as being wise in my opinion. :)

Pokestick, good times.

I usually say it's Kevin (jigglyppuff8), Don (donnovanj) and THAT WONDERFUL PIXY GUY, when it comes to the basics. People like Vikalp (Derozio), Christina (Signomi), Shanghai Alice and even Sharmine (WonderGirl) are great inspiration and support as well.

Mainly because of these people, and more, I am how I am today. And I continue to let them influence the way I am.

Well, Tara (BinaryPeaches) and Netto (Netto Azure) of course. I knew them before they were modded, and they seemed to be two of the few moderators I knew who didn't change much upon being modded. A lot of the other ones became a lot more strict, not as fun, and even annoying, but these two stayed playful with the occasional serious attitude. Maybe the ones who changed changed because their jobs modding their sections are much harder than modding PT/OT, maybe there's something else behind it. Can't really say for sure unless I walk a mile in their steps.

Nonetheless, Tara and Netto have been great pals, and it's kind of hard for me not to look up to them. I'm not just saying that because they're moderators; I would've said the same if they were normal members. Just without the opinion I have about moderators changing upon being modded.

In no particular order, my role models on PC are Ausaudriel, Morkula, Ayselipera, Signomi, Lightning, Hiroshi Sotomura, Forgotten Memory, Vendak, Went, and Forever.

I admire them for various reasons. Their opinions weigh a lot on my own, and can usually sway my opinion very easily if they happen to be against it and put the right words together. Their talents and abilities are something I look up to and try to use as a model to shape my own. And their dedication is something I appreciate and acknowledge. Their attitudes on particular matters are something that has changed my own and not make such a big deal about things on here which are petty, which is something that's been very important to me. Then there's the personality and kindness of each one of them that's something I appreciate beyond anything.

Can't really say that I loop up to anyone, but I admire a few. From my progression here in PC, a lot of people helped build to what I am now. Some names that I still remember until today and some that I have forgotten what their name is, but I still remember what they have done to help me.

One of the biggest helpers to me in all of PC is Binary. Well, at first I met him and we we're just jokin' around to the point that we paired up just for the luls. Then, until now, we're still friends and our friendship is growing. I hope it doesn't stop growing. :)

To others that I may have seemingly forgotten, I still admire them. I just hope they don't forget me. That makes me happy. ^^;

My PC role models. OH BOY. In ~no~ order, my role models are Astinus, Hiiro, Patchoudoss Yououidfo (we'll just say Nick), Hiidoran, Captain Fabio, Forever, Klippy, and The Red Chain. Each of them has something different I admire, but I would like to point out I learned all my mod skills from Astinus back when I actually posted in the fan fic section. lol But anyway, they all do spectacular things and they're all pretty and stuff.

Polls that focus on personal opinions about anybody on the forum are strictly prohibited. Threads such as "Do you like this member?" or the likes are not to be made whatsoever, it is a rule to respect everybody at all times, and that does include their own privacy and freedom. Thread topics such as said example can easily hurt the feelings of others and can cause needless banter. So please, be sensible and drift away from making threads of this nature.

Isn't this thread against the rules? .___. I remember a thread similar to this one that was locked awhile ago because of this rule.

I'm my own role model~...

Buuut... I do try to be influenced by some staff. Lightning, for example, WAS my role model... then she tweeted how she drank beer >__>

Well, I think the way this is phrased means that only nice things are ever said, so it doesn't offend anybody. Also, you'd think a moderator would know not to post rule-breaking threads xD

I don't really look up to anybody...just because I haven't thought about it. I actually have no role models in any aspects of my life, to be honest, let alone on PC.

I guess the fact that this thread only focuses on the nice aspects of people cancels it out, I suppose. Though some people could get hurt over not mentioned, lol.

Anyway, I never really 'looked up' to members untill say...6 months ago? I just had friends, and people I thought were funny but then I met a group of people (well, I had seen them around the forum but never really talked to them; lets just say I wasn't the best member on the forum) and I've really grown to love/admire them. Those members would be, in no particular order; Matthew, Erik Dester, Luke, Forgotten Memory, Rafflesia and Honus. All for various reasons, they've really ~!inspired!~ me and I thank them for it.

Figured I'd answer here since it was asked here. Don't eat meeeee ;_;

Since this is a super broad topic about members and not just about a specific group or a specific one, I personally don't see an issue with it. Also, it's a pretty positive thread. If it'd been something like this one where you'd have to pick and choose a certain amount of people I'd probably close it too, but this thread is pretty open and much more positive, if you ask me. If people are offended that they're not mentioned by a friend or something, well... there's not much I can do about that.

If you need more clarification or anything you can send me a PM, and I'll answer the best I can.

While I'm here, I guess I'll answer. Mine's been Lightning almost since day one. I think it's because we share similar interests and she's always been pretty level-headed mod-wise? It's... hard to explain. x_x; I'm too lazy to bother.

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan

I have to say that Shivi and Sam is my biggest role models here. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't even post on this topic right now. Shivi's the biggest reason why I try to log on nowadays. We've been friends since day.. twenty two. It's too bad that Sam doesn't go on Pokecommunity anymore.

Anyone over 5'6" Honestly? I don't really look up to anyone here, and I don't mean that in a nasty way, I just don't have any role models here.

I could list about 100 people I respect but having respect for someone and having them as role models are two completely different things.

I have got quite a few people I do look up to here. I find them to be really great people in general. Genuine, helpful, positive people that always aspire to become the best they can and aren't ashamed of making mistakes.

In no particular order of course.

Signomi, Hiiro, Forever, Kaori, sammyskitty. And more but I can't remember tbh; lol.

Makes sense, then.. since I was under the impression that it was threads about any PC members ._. otherwise couldn't we start making threads like "Who do you think on PC knows the most about pokemon?" wouldn't that be pretty positive and you can basically name anyone, right?

>_> Wait I didn't mean for this turn into a discussion thread now.. erm..

But thank you that cleared stuff up.


And to be honest, I don't consider anyone a role model on here (although there are some cool people) because role models to me are people who are heroes on a larger scale (Mother Teresa, for example) I know everyone can be a hero in their own way, though.. but for me, for someone to really set an example they have to be wholeheartedly good in many many ways.. because if I'm going to look up to someone.. then I'd want that someone to be the pinaccle of virtuous so I'll always have something to strive to be like.
