What if you were picked to be a moderator?

[Tyrantrum]

Would you take the job? Yes or No; Why?

Personally, I would. I wouldn't care if it was a section I don't know much about, but still go there a lot. If they asked me to be a moderator of that section, I'd say yes, and read the rules carefully, that way, I'd know what I would be doing. :D

 

[Legobricks]

Depends on the section but for most I would decline the offer. Although active enough I don't believe myself to be particularly competent.

 

[Blue_Drifblim]

I dunno... Being a Moderator could be cool(Blue username... I mean, a GENUINE BLUE USERNAME!), but then there's that whole "responsibilty" thing that I'll have to start thinking about. I think I would decline... Maybe it's because I'm thinking moderators are expected to act a certain way, and I'm pretty okay enjoying the way I am now.

Who am I kidding? If I was asked to be a moderator, I'd probably say yes so fast... Actually, I don't know.

 

[Swift!]

I would take it.

I'm pretty sure I could handle a job like that, I know how to treat people equally and I can control my emotions.

 

[pokerus34]

Yeah... They're just cool... *sparkling eyes*

Why, i'd be honored to be a moderator, only i,too, break the rules, so that would be almost impossible to happen... *sniff* :(​

P.S. = Still, Moderators are cool! :)​

 

[Jack O'Neill]

Realistically, I'm one of the last people they'd consider placing on the staff, but I'd definitely jump at the call on the off chance they would even deign to consider recruiting me.

 

[PokemonMichael]

Id take it. Like .Swift, i dont get mad, and treat people equally. But it depends where. D/P/Pt? No way. Id take a job at OVP, or almost anywhere else. but OVP FTW!

 

[~Teh Panda~]

Definitely, watching threads go out of control annoys me, seeing pointless threads appear, people stealing stuff. I would of course not abuse my powers and be a firm supporter of the PC rules and try my hardest to not let anything slip through the radar of a thread check such as some rom hack threads in which a person bases there hack on another one and the thread is accepted which outrages me sometimes.

Interesting seeing other people's reasons too, good thread idea michael ;)

 

[Mario The World Champion]

Me, become a Mod?! That's like giving a psycho a bomb and he goes blowing himself and everybody around him up!!

If I had was offered to become a Mod, I'd turn it down. I'm not good at that stuff at all and knowing what power I'd have, I'd most likely abuse it.

 

[Toblerone]

If i was offered Modship.. i'd probably say YES! But i would probably think about it first, e.g. what area i was modding. And because Modship brings so much responsibility, i would think about it even more! I'd probably say yes, because that BLUE USERNAME is sooo cool. Lol.

 

[ShinjisLover]

Sure, I don't see why not. I treat people fairly, I read the rules, I'm not so biased with. . Well, everything. I don't pick sides, I'm responsible and, if it's too hard, I can always quit. So I'd take the chance. Whatever.​

 

[Aegis]

Oh man you guys I'd freak out and say no :( Those staff people are jerks.

No no, just kidding XD I really wasn't asked when I was modded, I was just talking to Morkula and he added Lightning in the chat, and they said I wasn't allowed to keep my purple Community Supporters name anymore (this was like a week after I got it). After watching me baaaaw for a few minutes, they linked me to my profile and I realised why... XD; When I was remodded after I quit nothing special happened though :(

 

[Signomi]

Pretty sure I'd say yes. For most of my time on PC I've been serving as a moderator, the first time I accepted the job around 2005 time was because I wanted to make amends to the Home of the Sprites (now Pixel Art) section, the second time I accepted last year was because apparently, OVP needed a new mod and I had experience with the job. But I accepted them simply because I cared enough about PC. Would I accept a mod position again? Probably, despite the fact that I'm not as active as I used to be in the past, I still care about what goes on around here to make sure things are kept in balance.

 

[pkmnhippy]

No, I'm not very active here, if I was more active yes.

 

[Azzurra]

I'd probably say yes. I have plenty of time on my hands, and I am pretty much cool, calm and collected in situations.

 

[Alexithymia~]

I'd wonder why.
and after careful consideration.. take it.
But I'd be forever scared I was not doing the job right.
So.. now I'm not so sure.

It would really depend on how long I'd have been here.

 

[moon]

I probably would, if it was for a forum I had some interest in. And I guess the fat, colored, cursive people don't pick new mods randomly, but rather people who seem to know what they're doing there.

 

[Percy Thrillington]

I don't know. It would depend on a lot of things.

 

[♣Gawain♣]

Probably. You would be respected(not to mentioned insulted or gossiped secretly...) and it would be cool.

But the responsibility you have to carry. Ughhh...
