Moderator Applications (Possible Revamp)

[RishSA|Imaboss2414]

Like almost every job in the real world, the job requires prerequisites or requirements to complete before you can apply such as going to college and getting this degree or you must have experience in this field before you can apply. Granted being an MCGamer Moderator is not the most important job in the world, it is still a job and therefore should follow the same application process.

I suggest that before someone can apply for Moderator they must have...

• 200 Forum Posts (Not spam, but quality posts)

• 16 Hours+ spent ingame

• 30 Report Abuses (Successful Report Abuses)

Becoming a Moderator is a serious thing, with that we need serious people who are willing to donate their time to Moderate and make the community better. These requirements are easy to obtain if you are really serious about becoming a Moderator.

Agreed. (Except for the 30 abuse reports, cut that down to 10, it would be better)

Although this is true, I fall into this bracket, I'm not going to lie, the forums wasn't my most favourite place in the world to get to know people better, but since becoming staff I have started to grasp the forums much better. I like this thread, you make some excellent points and I agree with most of them. I'm also trying my best to get myself more known around the forums c:

Thats great to know! Don't be afraid to become known! Whats the worst that can happen?

The community will have a VERY mixed opinion on me.

Why do you say that? Just because you are a new Moderator that does not mean people will dislike you D:

It's not cause I'm new, it's just extremely hard to please everyone around here..

Agreed, this would be nice. Also, having a forum 'cleanup' to say the least would also be something to see sometime soon rather than all the pointless clutter threads all around the forums that don't attract anymore attention

I agree with this idea. It should be required to have at least some experience in all of MCGamer's platforms, and your post count is what reflects your time spent on the forums. Getting involved in the forums is not only a way to show you have experience using the forums, but also gets your name out there for the players you'll be moderating for.

Your second point is also important. Having people know you before you get moderator. Personally, I find it a lot more comfortable contacting a staff member I at least know a little bit about than someone I've never seen before. It's just that piece of mind that makes the staff team just that much more approachable.

It's not cause I'm new, it's just extremely hard to please everyone around here..

It's not extremely hard, it's near impossible. As long as your putting thought behind your posts you'll at least be giving a good impression about yourself. You won't be pleasing everyone, but you're post will at least stand out from the one-sentence posts people tend to make.

I think the 30 report abuses is a bit too much.
