My Moderation Application: Athos

[Athos]

I, Athos, am running for a position as a Moderator because it has come to my attention that Absolute Anime is in need of a different kind of Moderator, one that can provide leadership and help maintain order throughout the forums and threads.

I have been a member of this site for approximately two years. Since joining, I have never spammed, nor have I ever been banned or suspended from this site. I will admit that I have argued back with some users in the past, and simply, there is nothing I can really say to justify my reactions.

I also want to make it clear that if I were to become a Moderator, that it is a serious and delicate task. To me, being a Moderator means being the Webmaster's assistant in enforcing the rules of this site, and to warn members of their conducts. In addition, in becoming a Moderator, I understand that it will mean to choose to do the right thing in any given situation, even if it means making some friends angry.

Furthermore, I also understand that I were to become a Moderator, that I would loose the so-called 'privilege' of spamming, arguing, etc...In my eyes, these are not privileged. No where in the rules does it say that a user is entitled to do such actions, rather, they are prohibited.

Finally, I am also able to work with people in a consistent and professional matter. I know that some of you might disagree to the above statement. However, in my defense, no one here has seen me in a professional capacity. I work with a variety of personalities in the past few years, as being an public servant, a cadet commander, and a customer service clerk.

I hope that you will find me fit to become a Moderator. If you have any questions, please post your questions here, or feel free to PM me, and I will answer your questions as soon as I can.

I say yes. Your Mod app is done very good with no spelling mistakes and proper grammar used. I also know that you would follow the rules and that you would do what it takes to enforce them.

[Boredcrazy]

I vote yes, absolutely! We can do with a proper Mod anyway...>.> Err, I'm not saying that the other Moderators are...ummm...I think you people get the point ^_^;

[Zabo]

In the event of the need of a replacement Mod, I'd say that you seem to be mature enough to take on the task. Also, real life work as a customer service clerk (and all the s**tstorm stuff that comes with it) is more or less an equivalent of being a mod here. Also, your conduct in Chat seems to be quite sound, and you are quite friendly and fair to most members.

So in the end, though I don't know you very well; I will say that I vote yes on your mod application with enthusiasm.

[Athos]

I thank you very much for your comments.

I'm not voting yet.
You seem intelligent enough and all, but you've only recently come back.
You also seem stiff. I'm not sure how else to explain it.
After you're here for a bit longer I'll vote...I don't have much other than this application to base my opinion on.

[Dretlin]

Based on your app I would say yes. I believe you will do a good job.

I however always hold new mods under alot of scrutiny.

All I need is the chance to prove myself. Besides, even if I did become a mod, I would still have some stuff to learn.

Well, I'll be a bit more clear. I only left the forums, and yes, I recently came back. I left the forums because I was expecting a commission. And the commission didn't go through so that is why I have came back. And as to being stiff, well, like you say, just give it some time.

Well Athos I think you will be a remarkable, maybe as good at Dre. I can give reason on why I vote ‘yes’ but I’m a little tried at the moment. But rest assure there are many reason why voted ‘Yes’.

However, I have one quick note; you need to become more active if you wish to succeed in becoming a great Moderator. Also I heard that you were going to leave the forum and only be part of the Chat. What does this comply?

[Hallow]

I agree with this. The mods are getting lax in their duties. You have a yes from me.

I'm not sure I understand your question entirely. But I'll do my best to answer it.

I decided to leave the forums simply because the ones I was involved with seemed to die. However, the chief reason I decided to leave was because I was expected to be commissioned into the Juvenile Justice Commission. However, I wasn't commissioned.

I stuck to the chat however because I became addicted to it to say the least. I made more friends on there, and we met pretty regularly, as opposed to the forums where for some threads, it took me a while to read some pages.

Also, I'll let it be known that it is my intent to become more active on the forums.

Finally, a few months ago there were some matters of local concern which required my assistance.
However, I am now available, and I was not, I would not have made an effort to create this application.

I see and a well done to you, you complyed well, .

I wish you the best of luck. However it seems you are to good for luck from the looks of the votes.

[Athos]

Thank you.
And I realized I made a typo.

For the record, I meant to say, "However, I am now available, and if I was not, I would not have made an effort to create this application."

[Commander Sparx]

Youe Welcome!

Oh and it's good you notice very small mistakes.

[Athos]

Youe Welcome!

Well, for most of my working life (which is almost a year) my jobs have required me to be attentive and act in a professional manner (especially working for the government).

[Commander Sparx]

I see, and then you'll find it easy to be a Moderator.
