Actually, I'll admit I was a little excited at first, though it wore off fast. Not that being a Moderator is disappointing, it's just one of those 'wow that's great!' and then you're accustomed to being a Mod so you're simply content with it! :] Anyway, I was just asked for my Skype contact and asked on there; there was no PM involved. My experience was pretty neutral in circumstance.

I'd be pretty giddy, to be honest. Back in the day it was a dream of mine, although I was extremely immature and not fit for the position. But I really like seeing people get modded, especially if I know them fairly well like Anna. There isn't, and to my knowledge hasn't been, a single mod on this site who doesn't/didn't deserve the position.

Well, I'd be extremely excited...but then confused. I'll be like "WOOOO...wait, how the hell do you moderate this place?" Having to learn how to do mod duties would be long for me, since I've never really been entrusted with that power..

I'd imagine that I would be a lovely addition to the staff team, so long as I am able to keep my naturally arrogant/cattier aspects of me under control. That's not self-promotion, I know far better than to drop hints about my desire to be modded/remodded and act like I'm mod-in-waiting, lord no. That would be, uh, childish.
But I would be very excited if I got one of those mythical PM's that invite you to the mod team! I'd probably message Andy and Sydian and they'd be like "OHHHHHHH MY GODDDDDDDDD HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO" and naturally I'd graciously accept and what not. Both of us would probably gossip instantly and I'd go on about how it's time for the staff to welcome the presence of Mariah Carey into their forums, it'd be wonderful. My ideal forum will always be General Entertainment, but nowadays I tend to post more in CC&P/D&D/the MIC so any of those places would be ideal.

I'd literally jump with excitement, because I've never modded on a major forum like PC and it would be a great test for me. I have modded on a few small inactive forums in the past, so at least I do have what it takes to be a staff member. I heard some people here got modded in really funny circumstances thanks to hstaff playing tricks on them or something. As for the ideal section I'd mod, I'd probably pick The Welcome Lounge since I've had a talent for greeting the newbies as of late, but Fifth Generation and Fourth Generation look like fun sections as well since I loved the games from those generations.

I was unable to articulate anything. Leafy and Went kept saying things and I seemed to lose all ability to respond to any of it. I flailed a bit. Kept pressing my hands to my face and tugging on my hair like 'what is this emotion and what do I do with it??' Also running through my head was 'why is this a thing that is happening I am and always have been a little **** and they all know it'.

I'd probably feel incredible for a brief moment, having been given the honor of even being offered the duty. I mean, I'm certainly no one in line for a mod-ship anytime soon, lol. Logically, the only section I would mod would be the RP Corner, considering that's where I spend 90% of my time on PC.

The thing is, I'm not that active. My activity always seems to be decreasing, actually. If I were offered the position, I'm not sure if I would rightly be able to accept it. Although, if I were offered it in the first place, chances are I would have become more active. Still, I don't think I'm mod material. I'd probably suck at it. >.>;

I went digging for the conversation I had on MSN when I was modded. My reaction was...underwhelming when compared to others. Everyone else freaks out, running around houses and fainting. I said:
I would be honored to mod that section. I'm exceptionally glad that the staff has agreed with this.
I was also teased by the admins. The conversation started out with me being told that certain members were complaining about my position, and I thought I was going to get banned from the forums. Then the admin said that it was staff complaining I wasn't a moderator, and I was like "Oh."

Being a mod on a forum is something that's become a dream of mine in recent months, so if I were modded on PC, I'd scream and jump for joy. I might be a bit confused too since I hear the h-staff here like messing with people when they tell them they're gonna be a mod, but I'd be really excited and would most likely accept the position. I've never modded a forum before, so it might take time for me to adjust to all the responsibilities but I feel I'd be able to handle it once I'd get use to it.

I honestly thought there was a new staff member and came looking ;;

I was really excited. They outright promoted me without asking but Gav dropped a hint so I was anticipating it sort of. And when it did happen it was just utter chaos; loads of VMs and so much attention omg. XD; But yeah, the excitement wears off after a while. You get habituated to it, like Dave said. 8) It's a lot of fun though, people. You all should become staff at least once. :p

I'd feel relieved, actually. It would prove that I have been a good member to this community; doubting that I am has been a concern of mine over the years.
You're a good member in my eyes. Dunno if that means much.
Edit; this post is gonna look so weird when I get demoted in a day or two haha

Damn, I don't have my promotion conversation saved. :I

I wasn't shocked exactly, but I was rather thrilled. I remember being really happy and staying up all night. Then I got no sleep the next day. =D

I was never asked when I became a moderator for the technology section. It was pretty cool at first being able to VM without having to wait, and the bigger filesize avatars were the best. But my work as a moderator was pretty boring since technology at the time wasn't super active.

I was modded over MSN and that messenger died so... I can never access my beautiful modding convo again. ;~~~~; Though it's kind of my fault for not saving in the first place since we were told in advance MSN was closing, haha.

But yeah, I was super excited. When I started posting in The Welcome Lounge I realized how much fun it was and couldn't stop, so when Went started dropping hints through MSN the day before it made it so hard for me to sleep since there was so much excitement. At first I thought he was just telling me about what was to come in that board since I posted there lmao, I generally am a little too modest. I'm still quite excited over it even now since I really enjoy modding this place. :D

Depending on how it were to actually go down, I think I would get a feeling of disbelief more than anything. I'm not the kind of person to jump up and down when I get excited, but I'm sure my insides would be as I sat there with my jaw on the floor. And if I were to be asked, as long as I was familiar with the board, I don't see how I could turn it down.

On a semi-related note, I read this thread last night and didn't bother replying to it. When I came back on PC earlier today, I saw that I had three new PMs, which I never get. I quickly found out they were just to notify me that I'd received a few emblems, but the combination of having this thread fresh in my mind and some random PMs did make my heart skip a beat, haha.

When I got asked if I'd like to mod 4th Gen I ran around the house like a lunatic, paha.

This is my modding PM sent by the sneaky Cat Dog

It's come to my (and several other staff members') attention that you've been making quite a scene around PC, and especially around Fourth Generation Games, where you've made a name for yourself. Reporting all over the place; making lots of new threads; replying to new posts etc. You've certainly been causing quite the stir! Well, we can't have troublemakers like you in that section, and I'm just here to tell you that behaviour needs to cease.

I was sent a PM by two higher staff because I got them while I didn't have internet. One was straight to the point while the other was a cute made up story. Though I had an awful incident during the day I got internet back, so naturally i wasn't all excited. Still excited, mind you, but not that much. I was more excited the next day but nothing crazy.

If I were to be asked again though...yeah, thanks, but no thanks. I don't have time for it anymore, and I don't really care about it. It's basically chore without a pay off. I will miss the feature where most here respect you just for having a bold blue name though, it was the best.

In regards to the feeling of receiving modship, I probably wouldn't make an excessive scene about it. I'd silently celebrate to myself for a brief period of time and immediately start taking advantage of the small perks that being a moderator has to offer, such as the incredibly huge profile pictures and the removal of waiting times between VMs. I've always wanted to chain VM...

I have a lot of time to waste, considering the amount of extra-curricular activities I have is minimal and the homework I receive from school is easy and not time-consuming whatsoever, so I'd accept the position at a moment's notice. It'd be difficult having to multitask, though, because then I'd have to manage three separate entities: the PokeCommunity server, the Smogon University server as well as whatever forum section I got modded in. Gets difficult after a while.

I was pretty darn excited! Worst thing about it was that it happened just before the first class of the day started, so I really react physically (y'know, jump for joy and such :D), I didn't have time to reply to the VM's that came piling in quickly afterwards, and I didn't have time to go celebrate it with my buds on IRC untill school was over, so yeah, I couldn't really focus that day :p
