So... I have a question for the Mods! This is going to sound like a blasphemous question, but I swear I mean it with only pure intent.
How does one become a mod?
Before I get attacked by the rest of y'all, I'm not asking for me. I'm asking because I'm wondering what's it like to be selected? Like, whats your mod-testimony? What did you do, what were you like -before- your exaltation to mod-hood, and whats it like now? By following the TOS and being helpful around the site. Also, being able to write coherent sentances and speak in legal jargon and difuse situations with words and be objective also help.
What was it like being selected? A lengthy, stressful wait. I got my letter more than a week before I was modded. I thought I was going out of my mind. I found a few other modlings who were from my group before we got modded, and we were NOT sleeping while we waited. I am one of hte poeple who can claim on some level to have gone through the trial of mod. I didn't sleep more than 8 hours in five days.
What did you do, what were you like -before- your exaltation to mod-hood, and whats it like now?Well, I was MALE for one. I was modded as a male avatar at first but I found it dissatisfactory, since he was just an RP character. So I kicked his a** on out of the account and put myself in instead. I was much the same personality wise, since Sliver (not silver) and I are a lot alike. I basically minded my own business, ran a pet shop, and helped out from time to time in Q&F and Minishops. Back then people knew who I was since there weren't a lot of people in breedables at the time. When I got modded I managed to get in about 10 fights about various things and I ended up severing all my ties with the place. Then I switched my account over. Now I don't deal at all with breedables.
I also was never a big chatterboxer before being modded and now I am. It's one of the most fun places to hang out as a moderator. Spamming, answering silly questions, it's all good.
If you click on the link in my sig, you'll see what I'm doing on behalf of the admins. It's a reorginatzation of the original Item Suggestion Thread.
other than that I shepard other mods and help them make tought calls on things.
And stuff.
