I am not sure I would qualify... as much as I'd have the time to move threads about when I'm on, and I don't keep people on my block list ever, so I'd see everyone.

I think I had a formal warning about something once? I can't remember. And I'm not sure I report enough either... I atone for having my sig disabled once by reporting any sig violations I see, though.

Plus... hmm... pink names draw attention... I don't mind having the attention of you folks when I'm saying something I think is worth hearing... but... in general? Hmm.

Good to see some folks doing the hard yards though.

Well...I have been warned a couple times, had my signature disabled, told to change my avvie due to it being too adult and been banned.

Yet...here I am? smile

If you make the effort, you can can do it. But it has to be a sincere effort.

I tried. The admin responding tossed their cookies. It was horrible. ninja

If there is ONE thing I can say about the FA stuff, it's that I have to be careful about half the jokes that go through my head.

Not that they are bad, but can be easily misunderstood. I was talking to a mod about an issue, and we kept crossing paths and missing each other. And it made me laugh a little and I made a comment about it. But another staff member thought I was laughing at the mod, and not the cruel irony of me trying to find someone, and missing each other by a couple seconds going either way.

Had to explain that a bit. And it makes me think about how often something I've said can be taken the wrong way even if I intended no harm about it. And while I am sure some of that I could have applied to just being a regular Gaian, I actually put some thought into it as staff.

You have no idea how...weird that is for me. I'm not normally known to restrain myself that way.

For some folks, it can be an incredibly easy job. There are some FAs (I cite Winter as an example) who are very polite to others, and make the job look really easy. And I give them props for that. But I look at it like I do anything else. I practice what it takes, and I will get better.

So when someone says "I don't think I am cut out to be an FA/Mod/Whatever" I would say to them "Do not sell yourself short. If I can do it, you can do it. Just takes doing the work, and making the effort."

I think I am far too snarky to be able to do that.
I also seem to have a low tolerance for idiocy/complaining as well.

Won't be 100 percent sure until you apply. And Gaia knows people can change over time, so past warnings won't effect your chances as long as it's nothing to serious. Even a long time ago banning. As long as you've shown you've grown up. I don't think the different colored name brings all that much attention. Well maybe for mods it does but for FA, I don't think so much.

It's been fun this past month or so heart The mod community, as have been said, is very nice. 3nodding
I've been more than a month on it now and I've only gotten a few bad PM's. Nothing that can't be handled. 3nodding
The rest have been all "thank you's". emo

The thing I did was accidental and not necessarily malicious on my part. It wasn't an act of immaturity, rather, it was an act of forgetfulness... which was kind of stupid, to be honest. I learned from the mistake and haven't made it again.

I've never had any temporary bans either, and that's heartening to know that they don't receive as much negative attention. Though I'm curious, is it always that people train as an FA for a while and then move up the ranks to become a mod, or are there permanent FAs?

I would like to be one yes, reason being is because the forums I mostly hang out in always have misplaced threads. I would love to move them to the correct places instead of them sitting there for about 2 days straight, just the other day this girl was posting in the wrong forum on purpose (she said so when I told her about being in the wrong forum). I would simply just use the forum moderation or forum assistance power to keep the forum looking nice and keeping the forum from spammers, as well as keep it in tact.

I would love to be a forum assistant. I'm online everyday unless something comes up.

I've been on this site since it started in 03', it's been through a lot of changes as I've seen. I would enjoy making it a safer and more mature place to be for others. Some users really need to watch their tongues. This account isn't from 03' but, I've just had many accounts. None were really banned for a bad reason. I thank you all that are becoming forum assistants and helping keep the community solid. I wish I could help cause I am on this site pretty much religiously and would like to see my attendance be rectified in helping Gaia making a better place to just chat and have fun. Instead of being ridiculed for weight, or any way you look. Mods have been really helpful to me in the past and I wish I could help others the way they helped me.

Well I know with the moderator application you become a FA first and train to be a mod. But since this is a FA application I don't know if they are permanent FA's or still in training for moderator. Might be something to as at the next ATA. And yes, there are a few permanent FA's.
