Moderators

[Nathan]

hey people sorry for trying to change the topic but I just want to know something. Okay can you please tell me what is the chance of becoming a moderator if I haven't played for long basically new, right but I know the rules/ commands? I'm asking it here because I see a lot admins.

As far as I remember, the HQ picked up some people who joined within the year. The most important facts is that you remain active and a positive help to the community.

Perhaps we should one time make a moderator application in the style of a "star search" program.
We start with the applications, the managers remove those who are trolling and banevading and leave a group of 10-15 players. These get a hypothetical situation to answer on. by PM (so nobody will see the answers of others).
Their answers are posted and players vote who is best suited. Every round the three with lowest votes will be removed, until we have 6 left who will get their trial.

This idea actually sounds like it could work!

They generally recruit players that have been here for a bit so they know they are aware of the rules and how things work here, and that they are well prepared for the job. They also tend to go for people who are heavily active and have been around for awhile because they want to know how they react to other players in-game and on the forums.

I believe the newest player who was picked up by record was [RI]Joey_DeRossi on his third month on the server! Lasted 2 weeks before he resigned back then though, but still there are chances if you are open-wide to everyone by all means.

It doesn't matter how long you've played really, it all matters on how you act ingame and how you behave. The chance do increase as long as you help and actively guide new players on the server.

And that's actually the hardest part, self anger management! We also get stressed a lot, even more when you are alone in the server and you are taking a lot of reports, and most are just PMing you back like "LOOK AT MY REPORT NOW!!" or "BAN HIM NOW PLZZZ".. Even those constantly 24/7 PMs about them saying 'Please admin, wire me x$$ I need for x reason'.

I can't say I ever actually got annoyed or particularly stressed as a mod or an admin, even a property admin.
When I was the only administrator online with 120+ players one time, and I literally did not stop typing apart from to take a sip of my drink.. well that was just the best time really. It was fun and challenging, as long as you have your personal admin guidelines clear in your mind.

Since applications are open now, if you apply, you have to be VERY patient person always,

From what I've seen on the forums, I think people try too hard when moderator applications open. People exaggerate and go out of their way to make themselves look good. They seem to think the current admins go based on the applications alone.
If you wanted to be a moderator, and you met the requirements, you'd be noticed probably before your app, for going out of your way to help people, constantly follow rules etc

And as for the chat scrolling thing, I'm sure it's really annoying when you see people moan through PM or whatever, then about 5 mins later, another 10 messages because they think you haven't read them :P

The speed at which mainchat moves along at during busy times in the server is one thing to keep up with, and to add to that, all the extra lines of text the administration see just adds to the already chaotic chat.

You know, Managers+ are not dumb. They know when people is exagerating etc. They obviously already have an idea when looking at the applications who they'll eliminate or keep to go to the next step.
They know who is truely helping players, and who spend their day rulebreaking.
Yes, to be Moderator, you need to work on it BEFORE it opens.

This is so right, but people change every day,
