Is this a yearly thing that the mods do? I'll apply next year around this time if so :)

I'll miss yo_john as a mod though, need more Xbox mods!!

I have applied (no one freak out, I am sure there is a probation period ).

I think I would be a very valuable part of the Mod team.

If I don't get through, it's fine. I have contacts and I will get you, Axum.

I don't think he left VGC, or I hope he didn't... (Can a mod here confirm this)

But he is no longer listed as a moderator. :(

Do mods get paid? I'm guessing not.

For the record, my vote is for d21lewis! Even if he doesnt apply! Just make him do it!

Although it's something we look at and take very seriously, we also understand that the mod report doesn't define a user. Especially when a significant period of time has passed since the last moderation (as in your case).

morenoingrato would have made a great mod :(
Hope he comes back soon; such a great poster.

Edit: Also very surprised Kirby hasn't posted yet xD

I haven't quite decided yet, need to monitor a few more of your posts first.

But really, I know I would never be accepted even if i applied, because I am not joking, my first port of call would be to drop the entire user table from SQL and force everyone to re-register, but before i reopened register.php i would force registrations from isp provided or mobile linked emails only, gmail, hotmail and every other free email service would be blacklisted.

I would also force a rule of not being able to make new threads until you had 100 posts, then even after that, revoke thread creation status permanently, the moment you received your first moderation that resulted in a ban of any length.

Then i would add a script to automatically close every thread that contained the string "_ reasons why" or "_ things that", and "doom" and permaban its creator.

Yo_John needed a break from the site, and even he doesn't know how long he needs before he feels confident to return here. Folks come and go, some linger while others move on. We've talked with him and he's doing well, but at the same time he wants to see what life without VGChartz looks like for the time being.
