FlyingLow said:Having been a mod on the NFF and PT.net I would advise anyone thinking of becoming a mod to consider these things:
1. You have to have the time to read every post on every thread every day. Sure you will have other mods helping you, but you still need to do it.
2. You need computer skills. You will need to help people with their accounts, move threads, delete threads, etc...
3. Be prepared for people who never post to contact you via PM for various reasons. Lots of people read the board but never post. They will however contact you if they need help or get offended.
4. Because of #3 you have to be able to perform your job as a moderator. So even though you didn't find something offensive you might still need to intervene on someone else's behalf. (Even if you don't like them.)
5. You might not realize it now but once you are a mod you essentially start representing the site. Therefore you have to conduct yourself accordingly. You will constantly find yourself questioning your own posts because of this. At least I did as I wanted to set a good example and find a even balance of mostly productive posts with a little bit of Ho'ing thrown in.
So just take those things into consideration before volunteering for the mod position. It will help you out in the long run.

well said Jake.Black1 said:Good points, Scott. You forgot the major one tho.... Telling someone that is your friend that he/she needs to cool down, or edit their post (because it may have offended someone else)... or even, God forbid... Ban someone. People that have never done this before don't realize what that does to someone that is a Mod. But, when it has to be done.... when all other options in the situation have failed... taking action really taxes you. You just have to hope that, when the "out-of-line party" cools down, they will understand why you did what you did (or, what the SITE wanted you to do). :dontknow: It's a tough job, no doubt...........
Thanks Mike...you guys remember that movie where the head mafia guy "makes" one of the up and coming mafia guys and to celebrate this they already made Post Ho's, I mean mafia guys take him out to a corn field and beat the hell out of him with base ball bats and leave him for dead? Dont know what made me think of this ..anyway, I'm in... Thanks for the nominations.TheSickness said:Ok time to be serious here...After careful consideration and having put alot of thought into this. I say the best person for the job has to even tempered, have the ability to not be a Assclown like me Must be well respected and have a place of honor umungst the people here universally. A person who has been a site ambassador from the very beginning, someone that has honor, and above all is a very Moderate and intelligent person. Not to mention he is liked by everyone because this helps alot Therefore I would nominate Iltemprd aka Shawn Mahon.............If anyone deserves the honor of serving this community more I will eat Jack's sweaty Caftan ...............
