Ask Staff a Question Thread

Oh lord.

Thanks.

 

[AP3.0]

the biggest quality is can you mod without feelings

 

[NoOneImportant]

What qualifies a person to be a moderator?

Being impartial in stressful situations.

Being able to forgive and forget.

Teamwork.

Knowledge in certain section/sections of site.

Decent availability.

Have some type of history with the ABW staff.

I'll think of some more...

 

[Duwop]

mods typically get elected by unanimous vote....

someone says

"what say ye about kandy"

then like everybody chimes in...and if it's all positive...typically they're up in there...

that's how most processes go...it ain't like a job application

This can't be right, I've seen first hand.

 

[Ironman]

Feelings not involved in situations, logic, and if you have the respect of the posters that you are moderating over.

Uh oh

well...

hmmm...

 

[AP3.0]

i should probably add, dont mod with feelings unprovoked

b/c any action that appears to be unfavorable with a poster could be seen as feelings

but if you just doing stuff just to do it...then thats modding with feelings

 

[Loquacious]

What jobs do mods have?
What if they aren't fulfilling their jobs?
Then what?

 

[NoOneImportant]

I will say this...

Out of the three other sites (IllCommunity, TheColi, and BlackBoard) I have visited, ABW have one of the best staffs.

@Mrs.CheatCity you trying to be a mod

Okay missy, what are you up too? What do you really want to know?

Even though I am not a full-time staff member, perhaps I can give you a decent answer or find it for you.

 

[AP3.0]

mods in general do just that...they moderate things on a message board

mods specifically here act as a barrier b/t the members and goldie. Some mods have more responsibilities than others, but the gist is, there is always someone who should be able to assist you in something if you have a legitimate concern

 

[Duwop]

@Mrs.CheatCity you trying to be a mod

she's trying to find out either exactly why someone is a mod.....and what they're in charge of

o haven't figured out who or what exactly yet.....

i just made this up as i typed it, so i need some more time to go

Nope. Just curious.

Incorrect.

If they are legitimately not doing well to people then there should be a vote placed to decide if they should still be mods.

 

[Loquacious]

I'm not dry snitching or trying to figure anything out.

I thought mods did more, that's all.

Trying to see why people always wanna buy a mod spot and stuff as if it's a super power.
