Would you be a good moderator?

I think I'd do a good job, maybe. I'm not an idea man though, and my activity level as far as posting goes is low (despite me never closing a tab of PC ever). I'd like to think I'm strict enough to be able to crack the whip when necessary, but not overly strict about stuff. I'm sorta a Mod in a game I play, and people seem to think I do a good job. I'm quite capable of the moderating portion of the job I think, just not the... innovative side, I guess? As for the section, well, it'd have to be my home in OT, I think. It's about the only place I really visit and post in. Maybe OC and OVP, too, but... Idk.
 
Hmm... I think I could do a decent job as a moderator. Only of the RP Corner though, I'm only active there. I report threads frequently over there, and I also help people out when they post their ideas. Idk... I could probably be okay and not get fired xD; Plus I'm online almost all the time.
 
I wouldn't be around often enough to actually get anything of consequence done, but at least I'm not a narcissist, unlike the majority of the current moderators here.
 
I don't thin so..i'm a person who like to break the rules so it won't ever work for me...i never saw myself as a leader and that's how i picture mods..leaders...but i see myself as the person who hate to follow every little thing...a little rebol :P lol
 
Hmmm I think I would be an Ok mod due to having some staff experience. I guess it mainly depends on which sections I'll be chosen in. If its an area that I'm not in the most then I don't think I would do great. I don't report posts as much as I should if there is a problem though but yeah it really just depends.

I have to agree with you here all though there are quite a few exceptions I can think of.

Now, would I make a good mod? I dunno, depends on where I would be placed. I'm on at least once a day, even if it is just a five minute check. So thats good I guess. But Im still somewhat new here so I don't think it will happen anytime soon.

Hmm... I think I would be pretty decent, when it comes to locking threads. LOL. aside from that, I think I would be pretty mediocre. I absolutely have no creativity, unlike other mods out there.

But, if ever, I think I will be very approachable. And really active.
 
In some aspects I think I would be a terrific moderator, however in others I am lacking. I am active and visit the forums often, I'm objective and I'm a friendly person. On the other hand, a lot of my activity is reading rather than posting, and in order to be a good mod you have to post often and drum up conversation in your specified forum. I'm not so sure I could do that as well as the current moderators do. Also, I mustn't be very approachable as I don't have many VM conversations with people, and being approachable is part of the job.

I don't think the actual moderation side of the job would be too hard, I mean I read most of the posts in my favourite section(s) already so it wouldn't require much more effort in that respect. The social side of things wouldn't be my forté though.
 
I don't think I'd be a bad moderator. I suppose I'm good at making decisions that could affect another person. If I'm placed in a section I'm passionate about, I'll be bound to try my best - including trying to make the section clean and fun for members.

I'd certainly be active enough, I spend way too much time on here as it is already.
 
Honestly, I have no idea. I mean, I /might/ be, but I've obviously never really had a position of authority on a website . . . and not really any place really, lol. I mean, if I were to be modded in that lovely Role-Play Corner (I shall fight Maddy to the death, if I must ;P) I might do okay. Accepting threads shouldn't be too difficult, as I'm usually fairly active and I'm sure I could devote a bit more of my time to reading and approving/declining new threads (which may or may not make me give into temptation and join loads more RPs, lol) and . . . well, I think I might be okay. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut I wouldn't know until I tried. :3 care to make me a mod and find out? xD

I'll fight you to the death as well o3o
 
Before I got promoted, I dunno. I thought I was a good choice back when I was a really terrible member but that goes to show how my judgement was flawed back then. Before I got modded though I definitely did improve so in the months before I did think I'd be a good choice, though it'd take a lot to get used to if I were to get that position (that was my mindset at least). Because really, I'd never been active in a Pokemon gaming forum before, I didn't really know about CoroCoro or any of that before about May 2010 and the fact that it was a really active forum at the time meant that I figured while I'd be a good choice, it would probably be hard at first. And yeah, it was really, getting used to how to mod etc with such an active forum was weird at first, but after a few months I settled in fine.

Now, yes, I do feel I was a good choice for Black and White, as demonstrated by all I've done for it during modding it, not to sound up myself or something, but I think I've earned my position at least by now. :x
 
Depends on the section(s). The only ones I think I'd be a good mod in are the ones I do mod/frequent, Like C&M, TC, B&W, etc. I'd be pretty bad in Graphic Design and Emulation though.

However, I outright earned my position as the Moderator of OC, and what I've done with the place from December 2010 to December 2011 is proof of that.
 
Not the worst moderator one could imagine, but pretty mediocre. As long as my subforum wouldn't be overly active (so that I would have to spend hours just reading the new posts), I probably would be able to fulfill my rudimentary duties, the ones that are most commonly associated with moderators, more or less flawlessly, but moderating is not all about being mean to people, intentionally or not, and this is where I lack. I can be creative at times, but usually I am not. My advice often is unclear (even to myself when I reread it), and - let's face it - I don't have the popularity that makes someone a mod either.
 
I say I'd be an alright mod. If it were in a section I was generally interested in then I'd say I'd be able to run it pretty well regarding events and trying to keep activity up and such. Also I like to think I'm an approachable person and I always try to help if I can.
My only downfall would be that I can be very stubborn. If I think I'm right not a person on earth can change my mind, but saying that I don't often form strong opinions and the few that I do form are generally right anyway.
 
Ehhh. I used to be a good moderator on other forums but now I'm lazy as fudge. Plus I would probably be sort of biased too. :/
 
I think I would be a good mod in the art section. I'm not sure about graphics and sprites though- although I could give critique I couldn't do paintovers if people needed some help because I'm not very experienced with graphic design. Though I could definitely give advice on composition and eye direction.
 
I wasn't going to reply to this since I don't like answering these types of things but Shining Raichu's post convinced me to actually post. :3 I'll just be honest (while still remaining a little modest since I don't like to praise myself too much lol)...

I'd be good for the art gallery, I suppose. I'm passionate about all forms of art and am pretty much completely settled in there... I've read the rules so many times (to make sure I wouldn't make any mistakes when posting things lmao, I have a fear of breaking the rules) so I ended up knowing them by heart XD;; I guess the fact that I'm approachable helps; I never really get angry and according to friends, I'm an understanding person. That's one of my favorite traits about myself, actually. But yeah, I'm the type of person who has the "such good things can't possibly happen to me" mindset, so even if being this open about it did hurt your chances, I'd have absolutely nothing to lose. p: But rather than sitting here thinking I'd get shunned for believing I'd be decently good, I'll just be honest. Won't hurt.

And now I'll give myself a medal for working up the courage to reply to this ;_;
 
Even though Shining Raichu's post was really sweet and comforting, I still wasn't brave enough to post here, but Cirno's post made me even more brave, so here I go:

I think I would be a good mod for the General Pokemon Gaming Discussions section of the site. The Pokemon games in general have played a big part in my life in more way than most people can imagine, and just reading the discussions of what people love and hate about all of the games really interests me to the max. I love to talk about all aspects of the games whenever given the chance. Plus, I'm a pretty fair person.
I know all of the rules of the section, and I always check each thread, to make sure it isn't dead or has been revived and to make sure it is not already being discussed in another open thread, before I post inside of it. I'm always more than willing to help people with whatever questions they have about the games.

The GPGD is like my home here. If not a mod, then I' be a pretty darn good regular, there. c':

I, too, shall give myself a medal for working up the courage to do this. ;u;"
