wow 2000 posts.... anyways good luck to anyone applying.

I would try this but when I go to school this fall I probably wouldn't have enough time to be a good mod...and i'm pretty biased so I have that going against me as well lol.

The more and more I think about what he said to me, the more I believe good ol' Sully was hittin' on me O_O

Plus some members here already knew I had big hands

I remember when vague ban reasons were unheard of -_-

Can mods still participate in the program?

I mean since they are the ones checking on abuse and stuff.... I would guess yes cause admins can check them and I understood the rewards in part as being a way to reward active unpaid staff, but there's still some conflict of interest here :p

*checks the mod list*

You maniacs! You blew it up!

Can we nominate people? I always thought Khuutra would make a great mod. WereKitten as well, though he mostly lurks.

I feel these two have always demonstrated a keen intellect, a broad base of knowledge, and an excellent grasp of the English language. I feel they'd both be adept at identifying when a poster should be removed from the boards, and better yet, properly and succinctly explaining why said poster deserved to have been removed, something I've felt other mods have struggled with in the past.

Honestly, I think many of those who would make the best mods are also the type of people who would not actively apply for such a position.

Edit:

Though I'm not sure if the two I mentioned would have the time to invest in such a position, given the increased workload they'll have with 2.0. That looks like a huge time investment for a volunteer position.

Good point, but since the job is  only for volunteers, the only motivation to do it is power. Even Rol knows this to be true and fully admits it. The people who do not care for the power will not apply.

well as much as i'd like to. i'll have to pass, but if i see anything Machina you'll hear from me. thats the only way i can help out for now but when i can join i will.

Well...

Seeing as I asked and I'm not allowed

I agree with makingmusic. Khuutra would be a great mod.

Other people I think would be good are as follows -

badgenome (Seriously)
CGI-Quality
axumblade, again
Xen
yo_john117
amp316
Carl2291

Edit: Add Smeags onto that list, too.
