Have you ever been a moderator?

[myuusmeow]

A long time ago (Oct 21, 2005, 8:41pm seems about correct) I made a forum about Pokemon. It never got very popular but hey I was still Administrator.

 

[Overlord Nadrian]

No, I haven't ever been a moderator, but I'd like to become one to kick those n00bs out of the temp.

Everyone wants that, so that reason is invalid

I asked shaun about it but he didn't reply

Some tips to become a mod:

1) Never ask to become one
2) Be sure your posts are useful (if you ever got warned, your chance reduces)
3) Use the report button. If they see that you help them a lot, your chance increases
4) Of course they (

) have to trust you

Also, a mod has big responsibilities. Don't think its very easy to be one

I was co-sysop of a few boards during the BBS days.

I remember BBS days, even if I never connected to one, a school friend was always trying to convert other people to use it

About the Poll, I'm more an Admin rank than a modo or an other staff job.
I'm a web developer, I like and need to set up everything correctly for others.
Installing forums, learning and making websites, trying new features, etc. that's my way of doing.
But I'm not doing this on very big websites, I wouldn't have the time for this, I'm a slow worker.

I love the old BBS systems, mostly because of how closed off they could be but alot of boards were pretty elitist with it as well. The internet is definitely much better with forums, more users and a completely different atmosphere.

I used to have my own GBA website and forums back in the day that I created with some friends.

And now obviously I'm a staff member here.

Mod of a Pokemon Forum... It is getting better...

 

[Twiffles]

I've been a mod on the old dilapidated Megaman/Rockman forum "The Undersquare" since 2006.
Course, times has taken quite a toll on the site since then. So sad. :[

i've never been a mod or admin, but actually i never wanted to be one, too much responsibility :-/

Wait, mods can actually see who reported someone with the report button?

Which one?

 

[Issac]

I have never been any kind of staff actually... I've often wanted to, but it never happened. I'll just have to start my own forum for that to happen

haha

 

[ZenZero]

i was a mod on PHO for a small time

I'd love to be a mod on a site like this tho! ... .... ... ... hint ... ... ...

On one of my old boards you could, but dunno if you can here

 

[Toni Plutonij]

Except my staff position here, I never had any powers on any other forum, this is my first and only one

I'm not much of a forum person, but I found myself fit here, and on one other place, and that's what i frequent when i can..

 

[Overlord Nadrian]

Toni, answer me/us, can you see who reported someone with the report button?

 

[Toni Plutonij]

Toni, answer me/us, can you see who reported someone with the report button?

Yes we can

 

[Opium]

Toni, answer me/us, can you see who reported someone with the report button?

We sure can.

*edit* damn beat. Damn you Tony!

Not in the recent past, but back when Nintendo DS wifi was just released (and there were only 3 wifi games) I've been a moderator/admin of a few upstart friend code sharing communities (some that actually held some potential).
