[ Hey just want to give you guys a heads-up a thread has been posted in the Staff Board to look at the canidates. Granted it's going to take some time to get all the staff opinion on who should be the new RB specific mod but still you should get those apps in soon before it's too late. (man I feel like I'm a host of a reality TV Show) hahah now your host tungsten. But seriously thanks for the heads up. Can you guys clarify something for me; at Goten's first post, I was under the impression there would be more than one spec mod. Now you, Tungsten, are saying there will be just one? Am I misinterpreting, or have you changed your mind? As I said before, there have been talks in the Staff Board about adding more than one mod in the RB board to better monitor it, but nothing has been set in stone yet. More than one specific mod in the RB is possible but nothing has been agreed upon/decided yet on that issue. As it stands right now the staff is more focused on gathering the applications and evaluating them. I'll give you guys the updates as they occur Cool got it. I think thats the most times I heard the word "judge" in in any video, that was great.

Sorry but no poll results or telling you guys who gets second place/third place. I mean come on what we discuss in the staff board about the canidates is a private matter and should remain such. And besides we all know that showing a poll would most likely cause more harm than good. . . .

1. Have you been a moderator before? If so, where? -Kind of, I am admin of my high school's boys' soccer team forum but it is very inactive. I enjoy doing it though.
2. Can you be an active member and online daily to do your job? -I try to get on at least two or three times a day, so yes.
3. Can you keep your temper in check when "battle" breaks out on the Relationships Board and remain objective when faced with fights? -Yes, & if I can't, I won't bring it to the forum. I will certainly try my best. I have almost no trouble leaving my personal feelings out of it.
4. Why do you want this job? -I love to help people, & I am very dedicated to this forum. I'd also like to learn more about running websites & am generally eager to learn anything I can.
5. Why do you think you would be good for this position? -I am always the one my friends come to for advice, so I am used to settling disputes. I am also very good at being diplomatic. & like I said, I love to help people & I love this forum.

1. Have you been a moderator before? If so, where? ----- I've been a mod for two boards... the AmDrag forum and Gigi's Maiko forum Flaming Knives. The AmDrag forum is closed off to non members, though. Gigi's is here: flamingknives.proboards54.com/index.cgi2. Can you be an active member and online daily to do your job? ---- Yes. 3. Can you keep your temper in check when "battle" breaks out on the Relationships Board and remain objective when faced with fights? --- Yes. 4. Why do you want this job? --- Well... I like helping people out, and as a moderator I'd be able to do that. The Relationships board also happens to be one of my favorite boards on the site, because I believe it's a board where people get to express their honest opinions and not be completely flamed for it. 5. Why do you think you would be good for this position? --- As mentioned before, I have previous experience as a moderator of other boards. Also, I tend to be a very even-tempered and neutral person as far as shipping is concerned; so I believe that if I had to break something up, I could do it fairly and equally.

Yea me too...oh well,good luck to the rest. You can both apply. Gamb, Tungsten and I want to revoke the "must be a year+ member" thing. Quality not quantity, yay. Aite,cool,lets see what I can come up with... 1.Have you been a moderator before? No,but I've always dreamed of becoming one ever since I found forums on the Internet. EDIT: I 've been recently made a Specific Mod of kataangists' Avatar forum site avatargateway.proboards67.com/index.cgi--------------- 2.Can you be an active member and online daily enough to do your job? Yes,I 99% percent online here all day,everyday. I make it a point to at least to sign in at least once a day. I think I'm one of the most active members here,considering for how short a time I've been here. --------------- 3.Can you keep your temper in check when "battle" breaks out on the Relationships Board and remain objective when faced with fights? I'm sure this can be the biggest thing against me. I 'm sure I'm noted for being one of the biggest Anti-Zutarians on here,but this is just some of my 17 year old immaturity showing itself. I'm a multishipper to degree much higher than compared to where I was a few,months ago. I do love Zutara art as much as any other ship,and I post in the Zutara Crystal Catacombs more now and I'm good Internet amigos with Solvabibble,also a known Zutarian. You can see me posting in multiple ships' threads,so I'm not a die-hard Kataanger, I accept others as they are,as I always have in Real Life. I'm able to take no sides on matters and make sure both sides act civil,I know how human emotions can go if not monitored carefully. I'm always the one to stop fights before they happen,I'm rather talk to people than have it escalte into something none of us want to see. -------------- 4.Why do you want this job? Well,as I've said before,I've always wanted to be a Mod,not for the power,not for the respect it commands,just so I can help others have a good time and enlighten those to other things in life. I'm a English grammar nerd but I never let it get out of control. When I read fanfics,I always tell the author any and all grammar mistakes in they're writing. I love to help people. I'm known as the good guy among my friends. -------------- 5.Why do you think you would be good for this position? I would be good for this position because,well I really love this site and would do everything to keep it alive and running smoothly. I 'm on here alot and the Relationship Board is my 2nd favorite section of this site. I post here alot in many different shipping threads,and I was one of the first to encourage the making of the "Shipping Guide" and to ask for it to be a sticky. My loyalty to this site is unwavering. Thank you for reading.

1. Have you been a moderator before? If so, where? Yes. I'm a mod on the forum, AvatarFun which is currently small and inactive. 2. Can you be an active member and online daily to do your job? Other than vacation days, and during school hours, I try to be online almost daily. DH is very addictive, so it's hard NOT to be on. 3. Can you keep your temper in check when "battle" breaks out on the Relationships Board and remain objective when faced with fights? When "battle" breaks out, I can keep my temper in check, because this is just a forum. I can remain objective when faced with fights because most of the time, the DHer's that are in the "battle" are either n00bs, spammers, or members who haven't been on DH long enough to realize the RB is NOT a spam board which is home to shipping wars. I've been around these types of members, and I can deal with them. Also, I'm not trying to discriminate members who are very passionate about the ship and contribute to the wars, but if you are THAT passionate, you can also keep your temper in check. 4. Why do you want this job? (These kind of questions make me go to "flashback" mode, so please bare the story.) When I started posting on DH, the first board I went on was the Relationships board. There, I made my rep as a respectable DH member and got many friends on this forum, and I spent about 90% of my time in that board, engaging in discussions and shipping parties. It was [figuratively] my first home on DH. I want to be a mod on there, so I can have new members relive my first experience. 5. Why do you think you would be good for this position? I think I would be good for this position because I can become very serious in situations and complete things professionally, but still become fun and goofy in shipping discussions. ^.^

Well, I'm out of this contest as I could not bear to set foot (or mouse) in the Zutara territory, but good luck to the candidates for being a specific mod. ^^

Okay, I finally got the time to fill this form out so here it is.
1. Have you been a moderator before? If so, where?
No, I have not but I have made a proboards website before and understand how to use the mod tools properly.
2. Can you be an active member and online daily to do your job?
Yes, I usually post at least once a day and if not it is because I am on vacation but I still log in once a day and take a look around.
3. Can you keep your temper in check when "battle" breaks out on the Relationships Board and remain objective when faced with fights?
Yes, I can keep my temper and do not ever get too excited. I can remain calm and objective without letting my temper interfere. I have never been involved in a flame war but I have debated my views.
4. Why do you want this job? Because I enjoy being a member of DH and the Relationship Board is actually one of the funnest places to be as long as things are kept under control. Also, with the RB so fun, it would be great to be able to help the the rest of the staff keep the board under control and to make everyone happy to the best of my ablities.
5. Why do you think you would be good for this position? I am on DH often and I am usually easy to get along with even if my views may contrast with those of another. Even if I disagree with another, I try to work it out with them to prevent a negative atmosphere.

If you ever had access to mod tools without hacking you were a mod just so you know.
