Batbrony 16,056 August 5, 2014 Share August 5, 2014 Seeing as I'm already working on the Poniverse PR Team, I sadly don't think I'll be able to apply for a moderator position. However, I'm still very excited to see this opportunity for the rest of the community, and hope that some truly wonderful members fill out applications and join our staff! 4 "You'll hunt me.

SCS 7,537 August 5, 2014 Author Share August 5, 2014 Seeing as I'm already working on the Poniverse PR Team, I sadly don't think I'll be able to apply for a moderator position. However, I'm still very excited to see this opportunity for the rest of the community, and hope that some truly wonderful members fill out applications and join our staff! It is perfectly acceptable to work in more than one position in Poniverse. So, hypothetically, you could be PR staff and a moderator at the same time. However, I don't recommend doing that unless you're sure you would have plenty of time for both without stressing yourself out or reducing your free time too much. It is far better to do one thing very well than to strain to do several things at a subpar level. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you would make a great moderator though, but we all have our responsibilities and limitations so I can understand your reluctance.

It is far better to do one thing very well than to strain to do several things at a subpar level. Yeah, really it's more time limitations more than anything keeping me from doing this. I committed to the PR team, and with grad school coming up soon, I can really only commit to one position within Poniverse. So I'll just keep trying to do my best on PR for as long as I can. I think you would make a great moderator though, but we all have our responsibilities and limitations so I can understand your reluctance. Why thank you EP, that means a lot coming from you! 2 "You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me, set the dogs on me. Because that's what needs to happen. Because sometimes... cupcakes aren't good enough.

Jeric 46,861 August 5, 2014 Share August 5, 2014 Sorry if I'm sounding nit-picky but I like to know a little bit about what I'm going to be doing before I sign up for it. So what exactly will I be doing as a moderator? Joining the team against 42 in the hardest game ever I think the application has a blurb at the end that gives some idea on what is expected. In general Mods are part referees, organizers, hall monitors, therapists, and first responders of any board. The tools at their disposal and the rules governing best Mod practices are going to change from place to place. Maybe Dawn Rider can give some insight ( I miss the old Avatar DR) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what exactly will I be doing as a moderator? That is actually covered in the application itself. The basic purpose of a moderator is to enforce the rules of the community, maintain a reasonable order, arbitrate arguments, and defend the community and its members from abuse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCS 7,537 August 5, 2014 Author Share August 5, 2014 Being a moderator is like locking some repeated threads? I don't know if being a mod is for me.. anyways i will give a try. First time for everything... It is far more than that. That task is actually one of the most basic and easy tasks we attend to. Being a moderator is very difficult. It takes a lot of time, emotion, sweat, blood, and tears. It can be emotionally painful. It can be stressful. It can be infuriating. I strongly recommend that no one gets themselves into it unless they have a good reason for doing so. I've stayed in moderation (and ended up becoming an admin) because I love this community dearly. I would have quit the staff a long time ago if I didn't. Don't get me wrong, the people in the staff are wonderful. I love working with them. But the work itself can be astoundingly draining and painful. The thing is, it's worth it if you have a true goal, a true reason for why you put up with the things moderators deal with. What keeps me going is a true love for the community and the people in it. That is where I draw my strength and perseverance from. Being a moderator here has changed who I am permanently, in both good and bad ways. It is not a decision that should be made lightly. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that you for whatever reason, you never acted on those ideas, you never pursued that dream, you never used those talents, we never saw your leadership, you never used your voice, you never wrote that book. And there they are standing around your bed looking at you with large angry eyes saying "We came to you, and only you could have given us life! But now. We must die with you FOREVER!
