staff Meet The Mod Team!

[Ice Princess Silky <3 18,887]

 Guys! Look!  What's that other there?! 

Uh new button?! Whatit dew?!  CLEEEK ET!!!!!

So, when you click that button, you get to a page where you can learn a little bit about the mod team! But what if you shy ponies don't really know how to reach out to those mods to engage and would like to post a question on a thread, instead? I know you ponies for years. Sometimes you need a little poke to overcome your shyness to do a thing. Especially the newer folk over there in the back. We see you! 

And now, here I am to offer you the opportunity. 

"Meet the Mods!" announcement has a bit of a snippet of information for each and every moderator. So, would you like to engage with the mod team and see for yourself what kind of ponies they are? 

This is going to be more than just an announcement. I'd like it to be a little more fun and engaging. Mods are generally introverted but all the hard work and engagements they put into this place is not often visible on the face of the site. So, why not change that a bit?

How to interact with this announcement:

• Understand that mods are here to assist you.
• Check out the 'meet the mods' thread.
• Read about each Moderator that works here.
• Tag A Moderator below with either at random question or something based on the description in that thread.
• Ask a question, comment or engage in conversation. It can be silly, fun, or serious - just please make sure it is respectful and stays within the Guidelines.

The reason I stress the last part is because even I tend to banter a little too hard with friends in private and realise it can come across as rude if it's in the public. So, if you've known these guys for years and have some inside joke that might seem a bit rude or mean-spirited to an outsider, it is best that you word it in a way that even strangers will understand the context of it.

Thank you for reading and have fun! Going to copy and paste the announcement below for your convenience.  

"Meet The Mods" Button!

Spoiler

Your Moderation Team Is Always At Your Service. As explained by your friendly neighbourhood Samurai here.
 

Your Moderation Team is always active, attentive and responsive. Whether there is a conflict between you and another user or you just need a friend to chat with or ask any question in regards to the site, the mods are here to offer advice, insight or offer a neutral party's perspective on things. Even something like a profile you feel is inappropriate or needing to clean up, a moderator can be reached out at any moment so long as you make them aware of it. Reports are anonymous, and Moderators do not reveal who made the report. Meaning, they're willing to take the hit as your shield if you're too shy to reveal yourself.

This is a community, after all, and you are a part of it. So actively assisting in keeping the balance of things whether by keeping things light-hearted and upbeat or helping the community stay aligned with the Guidelines makes your contributions quite valuable.

The Moderation Team is happy to assist you. Why not get to know the staff a little bit? 

The Admins are really proud to announce the wholesome changes on this site. 

 

.         

@Sir Hugsalot was the original moderator to set off the wholesome era structure which we uphold to this day, along with @Ice Princess Silky <3 following closely behind. He and I would later become Admins and work behind the scenes in the more hidden aspects of the site. Upholding the higher standards are:

The Royal Guards
(Moderators) 

   

@Cash In
"The Fun Slayer."

Head of Moderation. He is a little more on the serious side but remains impartial in his approach to matters. He pretends, out in the open, to hate fun. But we have seen him hide a playful smile while he enjoys engaging with the community. A secretly playful soul. Reach out to him if you vibe with the more serious and down-to-earth types of ponies who get straight to the point.




@Samurai Equine
 "The Noble Samurai."

As the title implies, this is a very wholesome and noble spirit who follows the principles of the noble Samurai of ancient times. Reach out to him if you need a figure that is like an older brother who is kind, gentle, peaceful, quiet, a good listener but also does not shy away from taking action on the gritty details. A trusted confidant to the community and a noble soul with a golden heart.




@Sophie
"The Wholesome Pony!"

Even when it comes to Moderation matters, Sophie is the wholesome pony to bring in the levity and banana bread recipes whenever things get too complicated. His OC is a female pony but the moderator behind it is actually a gentle soul who likes wholesome things and connecting with people to make new friends and fun memories! Reach out to this moderator if you like fun and wholesome things and would like to engage in similar content to that.


 

@Nitobit
"The Background Bat Pony."

O, but this is a terribly shy bat pony who hides in the depths of his cave for his ability to deeply contemplate and create things. These animated pixel arts are from him, in fact! He is very clever and thoughtful, which he hides behind being a "background pony," but every person who has called him a friend has felt blessed to know him. He may seem very shy and distant, but he is absolutely responsive and attentive for anything you might need.

 

@Luna the Great of all the Russias
"The cold hearted bureaucrat and silent observer."

This moderator is so neutral in his tone and so impartial that he has lovingly earned the title of "cold hearted bureaucrat" within the moderation team as he executes his judgement and work. However, the amount of compassion and kindness that he has exhibited even in the most critical moments has shown that he is more of a "cold hands, warm heart" type of person. Contact this moderator if you need absolute impartiality on a matter. Would like to discuss philosophy in an unbiased matter or would like to know what it feels like to receive a letter from a "cold hearted bureaucrat." 


MLPForums holds its staff to a high standard. We hope that you find everyone in staff to be approachable, friendly and attentive should you ever need an understanding person to reach out to.

Ack! I got tagged?! D:

This backfired hard. The key is to troll the mods, not me!  Ahem! I mean...

I love fantasy genre about adventures and friendships united through such adventures. Sounds generic, right? This is why I wouldn't ever write a successful fantasy novel. 

[Sparklefan1234 180,954]

@Samurai Equine What is your favorite version of Super Sentai?

@Ice Princess Silky <3 What is your favorite display name that you've used? 

@Cash In Do you know any fun knee jokes? 😜

@Avery Is Buster Keaton your favorite actor? 

@Luna the Great of all the Russias What types of music do you like?

Ha! You tagged him. Now you have to ask him a question. Or maybe the worst dad joke you ever heard.

O no, I got tagged again. Another backfire. 

Erm... well, this one's my favourite: Ice Breaker Silky since it reflects my icy nature -- which, I need to keep cool in the summer. 

[Bright Honor 2,790]

Hi guys!

@Cash In hope you are doing well buddy!

@Nitobit how’s Deep Rock Galactic treating you?

@Ice Princess Silky <3 Hey Hey! How’s you? Read any good books lately?

I'm contributing to the topic as you asked me to. 

What has been your favorite forum event so far? I feel like I've asked this somewhere else but I'm not sure. 

[Treeglow Flicker 14,324]

Pfft. Mods getting all the limelight. 
Seriously though, this awesome! May the mod bothering be ceaseless!

Oho! You want one for the EC team and the other staffI?? Here I am trying to respect you guys and your potential shyness. Careful what you say there, Treeglow.  
Mods are used to taking all the hits due to their training and armor but if you think the fluffy ECs can handle not getting cold feet in the limelight then it might be on you if you guys start getting called into it.

I'm sure my banging on the celing with a broom handle when they're making their moderator horse noises also contributes to ther training. 
Anyway. Worst case scenario if Event Coordinators end up in the limelight and things got too much, we'd just use @Dynamo Pad as some sort of shield. Team work in action!

Oh my god… more than a just favorite my friend. But yes! He’s one of the few that I admired very deeply with, along with Paul Reubens. I love old classic comedy.

Thank you for this, by the way. As much as we like silliness, it is best to please add the silliness after respecting the post's original topic. Lest the staff give you a strike for low effort post. 

Here's a question tossed right back at you! What's your favorite flavor of icecream?

I love comedies, too! Specifically, John Candy movies. What is your favorite comedy?

All staff aren't "Mods" darn.

I was going to ask @Treeglow Flicker  why she always wears her raincoat indoors? Probably because her house ate the roof or something. 

 

@Nitobit I've been curious for a long time what does your username mean?

Haha John Candy is a good choice! As for your question that’s tough one, I would choose Adam Sandler’s movies.

@Sir Hugsalot @Ice Princess Silky <3 @Cash In @Samurai Equine @Sophie @Nitobit @Luna the Great of all the Russias

This one is for all of you. 

Not including My Little Pony, what other cartoons do you like from your past and in the present?

Ooof, this one is hard because I love animation. Before MLP I used to watch this German animation called Princess Lillifee, but other than cute childhood shows like that -- hmm... I'd say early 2000s animations like Foster's Home for Imaginary friends, Fairly Odd Parents, etc were a common and favorite one. 

[Shiny Silvermoon 4,379]

Wooooah! I didn't expect the "new addition" to arrive so soon! 
This new button will surely come to the aid of several members too timid to speak to the moderators! It will get them to learn how amazing the staff members of this community are! 

Thank you for the informative post, @Ice Princess Silky <3! 

[Felis Amafeles 2,166]

@Luna the Great of all the Russias
Um...I would like to ask you a question about history. 
Prime Minister Stolypin and Count Witte.
In your opinion, which prime minister do you think was better?
