Do you have what it takes to become a moderator?

[Spaz]

Age: 19
Length of time on forums: I joined the forum in June 2006 but I had been lurking around for about 2-3 months before joining.
Rough "daily browing time": 1-2h, I'm able to browse the forum from my job.
Previous relevant experience: Been moderating clan forums and some small community's. Noting big but I know the basic.
What skills you would bring to the team/Why you'd be a good Moderator: I got a good understanding of the rules on the forum, I have never been given a warning for breaking any of them. Even if I believe very strong in certain subjects regarding politics, religion and project reality I have no problem being neutral when I have to and I will not have any problems giving a friend or clan mate a warning or ban for doing something wrong.
My weakness would be that my English is not perfect, I been trying to correct most of my spelling mistakes and I don't think I make to many of them any more but I need to work a bit on my grammar.
Why you want to be a moderator: I think I would be a good moderator and I have been frustrated to many times when seeing open threads that should have been locked a long time ago.

Peace

Age: 16
Length of time on forums: I've joined and have been posting for about a year, but I've been looking over the threads for about a month before that
Rough "daily browing time": Around 2 hours a day.
Previous relevant experience: I've been an administrator and a moderator on the Reality Teamwork server and website.
What skills you would bring to the team/Why you'd be a good Moderator: I'm proficient in my knowledge of the PR forum rules and regulations, and I am active in the PR community. I'm not the kind of person that stereotypes other forum members, nor do I flame or make unreasonable posts. I've always backed up what I say, and give new members of the forum a warm welcome and try to get them to fit in with the pr community, even if they are wrong. In that sense I'm a fairly tolerant person, but not when it comes to grievers/smacktards. I've banned idiots on the server, and I'm not afraid of doing so on this website. I am a good friend with some of the Mods already, so no worries about potential e-dramas or anything like that.
Why you want to be a moderator: I want to dedicate the enormous amount of time I spend on the forums and community, and give back to the PR mod. I also want the opportunity to fix some of attrocious spelling in some posts, because we could all benefit from some of the suggestion threads being understandable

Age: 17

Length of time on forums: 2 years

Rough "daily browsing time": I pop in like 5-6 times a day mostly everyday, but I would say roughly 2-2.5 hours depending.

Previous relevant experience: Moderated our Mod's forums for awhile before I lost my internet connection [www.fsmod.com] but since then other devs stepped in.

What skills you would bring to the team/Why you'd be a good Moderator: I am pretty familiar with all the forums, and I tend to be in here a lot throughout the day. I don't have a hot head and I feel I can bring a neutral attitude to any situation. I have learned a lot about tact and professionalism from moderating First Strike's forums.

Why you want to be a moderator: Really, it would give me something to do when I come here since I don't post nearly as often as I would like to. I have a tremendous respect for the PR team and have always wanted to be able to help out here.

My administartive skills are well honed through real life experience and my time in the PR community. I believe my no nonsense straight to the point attitude will benefit the mod team.

To help the PR community.

Age: 20

length of time on fourms: 2 years

Daily browning time : 2 hours a day average
What skills you would bring to the team/Why you'd be a good Moderator:
I know my way around forums i am clear and precise with my wording and leave very little to miss under standing. i am also competent with administrating.

I know when to draw the line and yet be subtitle when doing it. i will never be one of those iron handed or tyrannical that is not my way. i under stand being a good moderator is one with a light touch and even handed,

Why i want to be moderator: 2 years ago these forums where a absolute shamble full of Trolling and was a very nasty place to visit. It was full of hate posts and people who had nothing better to do then demean and bully other's. since that time it has changed into a very friendly community, im often astounded by the monumental change that has occurred.

there for my reasons for wanting to be a moderator are very simple i want to keep these forums the same a friendly and consistencies environment where flaming and hate posts are abolished and where we all can talk and work towards together making a better project reality for the future.

Length of time on forums: Well my join date, I'm not gonna lie and say I was a 'lurker' I mean seriously, that's not even a good thing.
Rough "daily browing time": Too much
Previous relevant experience: I once rode a camel, and have also been like the worst 2iC for R-MOD Eddiereyes in the PRT, but I had to lay the law of the land down sometimes. I also am the 'Official Liason to the Queen' for the clan Digital Militia, and I keep that bunch of tards in check.
What skills you would bring to the team/Why you'd be a good Moderator: I have the ability to be fun with people whilst still enforcing the law. I think I am liked by most people, and I'm not particularly strong minded so won't be offended by people crossing religious/sexual boundaries.
Why you want to be a moderator: I enjoy the forums and like seeing them kept in order, I'm not gonna lie, I do have rather a few warnings, but if you get over that, then I'm sure it will be fine Cheers guys, xx

Age:

Length of time on forums:
Joined 06-07-2009, but i have been observing and reading on the forums for over a year now. I take a great deal of interest in the community modding/factions section.

Rough "daily browsing time":
i spend about 3 hours on the forums daily. Usually just scanning while im creating my PR map.

Previous relevant experience:
I did some forum modding for two years for an Ogame (online stratergy war game) clan forum. recently stopped playing as i lost interest in the game and subsequently stopped moderating the forums.

What skills you would bring to the team/Why you'd be a good Moderator:
I am calm and can look at both sides of an arguement. Even though i am only 16 i can give good, clear instructions and know how to effectively enforce rules (i have been a sports coach for three years ) I like to keep things fun while still following the rules and keeping order. I'm good at following instructions and following procedures as well. Although i'm a nice guy i don't take ne abuse to me or ne other forum member lightly.

Why you want to be a moderator:
I want to be a moderator to help out the PR community. The more people that are on the team the stronger it will be. I've played PR since mm v.03 and i think its time i gave something back for all the hours of fun PR has given me


Cheers,
HangMan

Age:
18

Length of time on forums:
Just shy of 3 years, have had periods of inactivity though. Haven't been extremely active posted though as I only tend to post whenever I have something to say.

Rough "daily browsing time":
Few hours, usually I have couple of forums, including this one, open on my laptop pretty much whenever I'm home. So should be well enough to help keep the forums tidy.

Previous relevant experience:
Running 2 forums with as main admin for several years with quite active user base, though sizing like 100 active users. In addition being moderator in couple of far more ambitious projects, in the same category as this one.

What skills you would bring to the team/Why you'd be a good Moderator:
I am mature and in my opinion very well capable of seeing issues objectively without letting my own feelings get in the way. I also know how to express myself and generally get along with people. Naturally there are many moderators so being part of the team and cooperating is extremely important and I believe that I'll be extremely able to work together with the other mods. It won't be a problem to admit my mistakes either and correct them of course.

Why you want to be a moderator:
I've been wanting to give my 2c in PR for a long time. Having tried mapping and few other things but I failed miserably now I believe I've found something I can help with. I know it's tough job and moderators will get lots of hate but it's a work someone must do and I'm only able to offer myself to help with it. Also moderation of forums is something which very much helps players new to PR to get into the game because if the forums are messy, it will be hard to find the information needed.

[snooggums]

Age: 32

Length of time on forums: I joined the forums on the date to the left but I have browsed them since version .5

Rough "daily browing time": About 2 hours spread over the course of the day. I check at lunch, on breaks at work and in the evenings at least.

Previous relevant experience: I was a server/forum admin in a small counterstrike clan back in 2002. Frankly the once an admin always admin material is not true in my experience, usually the people that have previous experience don't really show as better candidates than new people because of burn out and being sick of people having the same childish behaviors.

What skills you would bring to the team/Why you'd be a good Moderator: I bring years of experience dealing with people on the internet, as both sides of the gaming community. I have matured past the childish attention grabbing 'I'm awesome!' stage and have decided that what I want out of gaming is to play with people who value teamwork over personal score.

I am courteous with people I disagree with and would be even more so with the responsibility of a title. Respect and trust is earned by consistently applying the communities rules and standards and I would be able to do with respect as I realize that the people who troll/post fastropes threads without reading the *** thread etc do so because they haven't yet reached that same level of maturity but will with the right direction. My posting history here and at Tactical Gamer is an example of how I would post as a moderator.

Why you want to be a moderator: Pr has been my favorite mod for the last few years and I would like to support the overall community with my attitude and skills.

[Arnoldio]

Age: 17

Length of time on forums: 2-14-2007, since then, my old acc was Arnoldio_SLO

Rough "daily browing time": 2-3 hrs, depends on whats happening

Previous relevant experience: I've been an admin on my own CoD2 Clan page, mod on 501stIR forums

What skills you would bring to the team/Why you'd be a good Moderator: I know how to deal with people and know what's wrong and what's right. I dont rush things and do things headlong without re-checking, working with people is harder, we make mistakes and people get offended and punished without proper reason. I think I'm friendly enough person to have problematic conversations while keeping my head cool.

Why you want to be a moderator: I've never answered duplicate posts, threads and re-suggestions with Mod-wannabe answers ("This is resuggestion, mod please lock this", "Why do you post so many threads about the same thing?, Mod please lock this" and so on...), now I see my chance of being a mod without previous wannabe-ing. If you guys need help, I'm here for you... I am one of the many reliable and good PR forum members, so my chances are slim, but i decided to give it a go.

Rough "daily browing time": alot, if im sitting at my computer and not playing im browsing the forums, browse most threads but dont bother to post in them if its pointless

Previous relevant experience: Moderator for my old clan forum, WNx

What skills you would bring to the team/Why you'd be a good Moderator: Read through virtually all threads, but don't bother posting in them if its going to be useless, been around PR long enough to know all the ins and outs, and whats a go and whats a no. Have a good sense of humour and can add to 'the thread' that iv heard so much about in the MOD forums


Why you want to be a moderator: Been around PR for ages, and spend way to much time on the forums, so thought why not do something useful instead of useless browsing. Been pested by Masaq to put in applications before, most people on the forum recognise me and good friends with alot of the Devs and Cons and Mods so will get on well with people

Rough "daily browing time": 5-10
Previous relevant experience:Moderating Clan forums and technical websites
What skills you would bring to the team/Why you'd be a good Moderator: I can have fun, but always switch to the serious side. Some say I've got an eye for detail. I think it could be useful here.
Why you want to be a moderator: I wanna give back to the community that's given me something to do for the past couple of years. And seeing as I can't model anything I think this would suit me fine.

I spend a lot of time on here when I'm at work and at home. 5-6 days a week, 2-4 hours a day, sometimes longer.

Previous relevant experience:
I had full moderator rights for the forums in the PRT. I've had limited moderation duties elsewhere.

What skills you would bring to the team/Why you'd be a good Moderator:
If you ask anyone that knows me here, they'd probably agree that I'm easy going, fair and honest but stern when I need to be. I'm always helpfull where I can be to forum members new and old.

Why you want to be a moderator:
To get one up on Robbi. oh.... and to help the community and all that jazz...
