I have this sudden urge to Moderate this place for a little while, like a week or a couple of days. I'm curious, what do you think Anubis; the evil and almighty underground emperor of GSSF would do if he DID become a Mod? Would I ban your azzez ASAP and Warn all the people I think suck or would I be the only Mod out there who isn't so uptight? Would I still be breaking 80% of the rules or would I turn a new leaf (lolz). :D

It's been weeks since there was a topic in these forums that I truly felt like posting in so I've decided to make my own topic which I find interesting. Also I'm curious, if you ever became a Mod what do you think people would expect you to be like as a Mod and then tell me what you would really do as a Mod. :P

Don't talk shlt in my topic cause I don't want this to be closed before the discussion gets burning. :P

This urge was spontanious yes? I can't say with you as a mod we would see any big changes. Hell if you can become a mod why not Jack.

[Golden Djinn13]

I challenge you to an election. I want to be a mod.

[Nemphtis]

I'm not running for mayor, besides clearly I'd get more votes. I'd make this place fresssssh with my moderating skills.

Anubis is always ontop of his Game!

Anyway, this ain't the topic to discuss this, we're hear to discuss what I'd be like as a Mod, what YOU'D be like as a Mod and what people would THINK you'd be like if you ever became one.

Oh and Echo Djinn, the difference between me and Jack is I'm badass with style, he's jackass with added added lameness.

[Someone Else]

Anubis wouldn't be a BAD mod. Not that I want him to be a mod. I doubt you'd abuse your powers, as you said at one time you're mature given the time. :P

[Nemphtis]

I think just for the thrill and to get some action around here I should be made a Mod for a week and see if the forum asswipe can take on the task of being more mature and less verbal. ;P

[Golden Djinn13]

I guess Anubis is just scared of some competition

I can imagine if he was mod. Every tuesday would be a day to worship him o.0

I hear.

Meh, Nick made admin I say you could make it as a mod. Your a mature guy, when it comes down to it. Still, I can see some competition coming your way if I decided to become a mod. No one could turn down my charm. :P

Didn't Agatio do something like this in the past? Or he at least he gave hints to us that he wanted to become a mod. He made it. Bet you can as well.

-My 2 cents on this topic.

[Nemphtis]

Dude that's the best idea you've come up with in all your time posting here! I'd love that, it would be cool.

I think WD would make an okay Mod since he's not too uptight and I don't see him taking crap too seriously alot he's Ice Cool just like me. You should join my fanclub WD.

LOL I get this feeling that people are going to mis-use this topic as some sort of hint to making themselves be noticed as a possible Mod. This topic is purely '****ing about' material. We're just saying what we'd think we'd all be like as a mod and the perosn can say what he'd personally be like as a mod. Also we're hear to discuss yours truly, arguably the most freakiest member on what I'd be like in detail as a Mod. If this was a discussion about someone else not much could be said, but this is Anubis; everyone knows what he's like, he's not like the rest of us, it'd be damn freaky if he was Mod.

Also ED that's a DISS to Nick. Nick don't take that shlt, smack his ass down! ;D

I Feel Like Being A Mod

You'll have to check the temperature in hell first :P

Also, I would warn people for being deliberately annoying and ignorant. Otherwise, I wouldn't care much as long as one didn't act like a complete idiot.

[Nemphtis]

I think if Max is looking for people who enforce rules based on word for word of the rules page as if it's the holy book of Law you'd be okay, personally you strike me as a little less laid back and a little more "You broke this rule, warned" just like that. ;P

I'd like to see more people a bit like Eugine but not alot like him. People who say "Okay, this time I'm not warning, but next time I am" I like Mods who are like "I'm letting you off this time, but keep pushing it and I'll make sure you're sorry..." and when they do, make SURE they're sorry. ;D

[Zxor]

I think everyone would want to be a mod, and everyone would totally act different. I want to be a mod, and that would be awesome. Well, Anubis, Go For It!!!

[Nemphtis]

Personally before tonight I've never thought I'd want to be a Mod not because people don't think I could be one but because I've never been able to see myself as a Mod kinda person. Sure I run my own forum but mine only has around 20-25 active members where as GSSF has alot more and it's growing each day.

Also, anyone who HAS visisted my forums will notice I'm not as hyper elsewhere as I am on here, some places I just be myself which I enjoy and some places like my clan forums I must pretend to be mature and understanding etc. which is a pain in the ass when I'm not really that kind of person but have to try and be to make sure my members don't think their leader is some kinda 9 year old kid who's really loud.

I seperate my moods on each forum really, there are some forums I go to where I'm really serious, some where I'm really laid back, some where I only reply with 4 paragraph posts and some where I only reply with 8 word posts. If you want to see what I mean click on my sig and read some posts from my forums and see if I'm alot different or alot like what I'm like here. I'd be curious to see if people agree or disagree with what I think about myself.

[Elliott]

Just looking at the topic title, and the author. It's not going to happen. Nice try. Well, it wasn't really.

[Nemphtis]

You're a Mod, so I think my chances of being one is just as good as yours were! :P

One of the last person I imagined to be a Mod was Agatio, he pissed off alot of people like I did and when I read the topic saying he became a Mod I was like "No freaking way! Haha!". Everytime someone becomes a Mod I sit and discuss it with GSSF members about how much Mary Jane Max and Nick smoked to come to the conclusions they did. I don't think there is one Mod out there that I 100% support, and well realistically there never will be I think.

[Elliott]

It's because:

a) They had no one else

b) I have the ability to post without insulting people.

[Nemphtis]

So does everyone else on this forum Agatio. You have the ability to post without insulting people and yet I'm sure I can find quite a handful of topics where you ARE insulting someone and I'm sure anyone else can find these too. So there is no need to try and do the whole "I'm a good boy and you're not" thing. We both have the ability to insult or not insult, and we both choose to insult when we want to and not insult when we don't want to. The only difference in this matter between you and myself is that I choose to insult more than you, that is the only difference.

[Elliott]

Which is, I guess, why Max and Nick didn't go to you first.

[Nemphtis]

Actually it's because unlike yourself I did not make it clear nor did I want to or need to make it clear that I wanted to become a Mod at the time. If I DID want to become a Mod I would have tried to kiss their ass by being a good little boy, which I never did. You're the one who wanted to be a Mod, and they chose you.

Now the reason for that could be anything and I don't want to say the things I hear from others not to mention the topic is getting a little off and I don't know about you but I don't want my topic locked cause a former Mod is getting all hyped about this. :P

[Elliott]

Hyped? wtf?
All I'm saying is that you won't get picked, and why I was. If that's "hyped" to you, then thats your lookout.

[Nemphtis]

Yes, it's my lookout and anoyher one of my lookouts is we're ruining my wonderful topic so another outlook of mine is that we should stfu about this and get on with the topic at hand. =P

[Neo]

Anubis, I think you wouldn't be a very bad Mod. The main reason is for that, is that I think you wouldn't dare giving people 80% warnings, or ban people (which isn't even possible as Mod, if I remember correctly). We all respect Max way too much for that.

[I'm Always BROKE]

Nah his abilities to be a mod are good. Still... Anubis a mod in GSSF... Scary I think.

[Elliott]

I think in all honesty you would makea decent moderator, but the chances of you becoming one, I think, are very low. This is due to track record (though I think my warning record is longer than yours at last count), and the whole flaming every newbie thing.

[Neon]

What neither of you realise is that I was offered a place as a moderator just after Raven and Kiku left. I said no then because I wasn't planning to hang around here much anymore (the departure of Raven and Kiku triggered a whole wave of leaving topics and many people did actyually leave). Obviously i never truely left, so if I was offered again i might say yes :\. What does that prove? You don't have to be outspoken or full of yourself to be elected :P.

In all honesty, I think Agatio would make a far better moderator than Anubis. Agatio is a far more constructive and mature member, while Anubis has one hand on the keyboard and the other in his pants.

[Sea of Time]

Anubis, if you want to be a MOD go ahead. I think you'd do a great job. Just don't be too uptight, OK? :P

[Gardna]

GSSF never had a mod going around the forums and owning everyone. It could be interesting :P

[Sea of Time]

That might be a reason why he hasn't been chosen yet.

CONGRATULATIONS YOU DIDN'T READ MY POST OMG I'M GONNA WARN YOU FOR BEING AN IGNORANT LITTLE BRAT ROFFLE COPTER LEARN TO READ LOLLER SKATES.

I'm sure I could be a mod if there was a need to, but I choose not to...yup...

[Eugine]

:P If I wasn't inactive in the Raven, Forte, Silo, Kiku era I woulda' be a moderator long before :P
I got to admit that Nick and Izar were "prefered" choices over me though...

If you remember RangerOfFire - Same principle applies.

[Golden Djinn13]

I bet you feel so special cause your a mod, with a shiny badge.

[Eugine]

Nah really, if you become a moderator you don't really feel different really (I tell from experience). You get abilities to warn and close topics and a few other and just get access to the Moderator's forum.

That's all.

AND WITH THAT, I COULD TAKE OVER THE FORUMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, I would take revenge on you mostly, but other than that,
I would be the bes mod in history :P

[Luna]

If Anubis were a mod: Most mods I know in other forums are like you basically. So, it would be efficient.

If Shebah were a mod on GSSF: ... ... I think I'd be one of those invisible mods <<; ... Or let people get away with stuff that doesn't bother me but bothers 95% of the forum.

What other people would think of Shebah: zomg, she's letz ppl get away with STUFF we dun liek! Id B a bettar mod than her >|! UNFAIR!

[Someone Else]

On the topic of mods... what ever happened to GL?

I wouldn't mind being a mod here. Well, come to think of it... if you seriously DON'T want to be a mod here raise your hand! :P

I was a mod on the "First" Edition of HCF, along with Kiku. When HCF moved, however, Kiku and I were replaced with Sheba and somebody else; apparently Kiku and I weren't active enough to keep our jobs. Although I thought that was kinda stupid, since the First Edition of HCF wasn't that active. At all.


What would I be like as a mod? :P I dunno, I'll let everyone else decide.

Oh, and about the whole "mods being uptight" thing. I don't actually notice the "uptight-ness" of the mods here, although the only mods that made these formus really fun in my opinion was ForteGX and maybe Kiku and RB.

He's right, when you're a Mod or even an Admin you don't feel too different, If anything I think it's HARDER being a Mod at a forum than being a member. When you're a Mod you have the spotlight on you alot more and thus when you make a mistake or get into an arguement you have your position at stake where as a normal member just gets warned and then gets it taken off after a few weeks. That's the main reason I never wanted to Mod here in the first place, I'd get my ass de-modded the same minute I got the part.

Sheba would make a nice Mod! I think Anubis + Sheba would make a great pair in more ways than one! ;P I can be the "sit the **** down and shut up!" Mod and you can be the "I'll let you off this time but exxpect some verbal Abuse from Anubis as your punishment for your offense!". ;D

[Sea of Time]

I think Sheba probably would make a better moderator than you, Anubis, in all honesty. You wouldn't be bad though.

[Zxor]

I think Sheba would be a better mod then you. And yes you would be good Anubis, but, Sheba would be better. Well, no one knows better than Max so it is up to him who he wants.

[Nemphtis]

Well she's a Mod at a few other forums so she can do the job if it ever came to it! =]

[Sea of Time]

Yeah, she's an MOD at Hyrule Court and she does a great job. Very responsible and such.

If you can prove you're responsible, then I'm sure you'd do fine Anubis.

[Someone Else]

I think Anubis would be a kick ass mod. ;D His flames are excellent, so if a prick decides to act stupid:

n00b: ROFFFLE ALL U GUYZ SUXz0RS AND H1TL3R OWNS!

Anubis: :P If you're going to be an idiot I think you should take it to Jesus instead, I'm sure he'll have something to say to you. :P

n00b: Oh noes!

Anubis: Warnage!

...It's DOUBLE the damage! =D

*crowd roars and girls scream as jai enters the forum* wow havent been here ina while but i just thought i would check up on things and see hows it goin but any way i think anubis would be a great mod because we need more mods who the users are r familair with and have had gone thru some of the same experiences we had like nick and avenger

Funny enough, I actually remember you where as normally I barely remember anyone. I think it's the avatar the reminds me.

[Mathak Kraven]

Being Moderator isn't particulary fun, you have privilidges and you have to use them wisely, otherwise if you got a forum full of doughheads, everyone will start complaining about "power abuse". But they don't understand you got the power because the admin thinks you WON'T abuse them. What a hard world.

Anubis like any other would understand this and be a good moderator, only I will be quick to tell you I will deny the position. I had too many people being literal jerks about me doing my job well. "OH I WAS NUT SPAMING? WHY U WARN ME. IM GOIGN TO THELL ICHI ON U AND U WUNT BE MOD NO MOR!". Someone should really shoot those kinds of people.

[Someone Else]

I doubt it'd be like that here though. Well, maybe one or two would do that, but whatever.

Riiight. We'd have a few problems with him scaring all the newbs away.

And WD, I think my main concern would be, would you actually follow through with your warnings?

[Someone Else]

I most certainly would if push comes to shove if you know what I mean.

Under this slightly wierd and lovable exterior you all see, I'm an indifferent and slightly not caring *******. o.o I'd warn a person I liked if I had to.

[ForteGX]

Hey if they deserve it, you really don't have a choice.

That's why there are complaints about "ineffective moderating."

[Eugine]

Since I became a moderator there where two persons who said I shouldn't of become a moderator.

Actually there's three, one had "doubts" the other two complained when I PMed them telling them about something they did wrong. Oh well. I should of just warned.

Depends on what you mean by Prefered. I think you are making an excellent moderator.

Anubis wouldn't make a mod, for a long list of reasons. but if he was a mod, he'd be the forst mod to get warned. :P

Actually I was discussing with Nick about being a Mod and I asked him if I could warn the other Mods and he said no, Mods can't get warned. :P So basically being a Mod for me is like being Anubis but not getting warned anymore (not that it helped anyway) and not only can I tell people to stfu like I usually would but now if they refuse (which they never do) I'd have extra powers to make sure they don't. :D

[Izar]

Warning another mod was a joke. >> Notice the emoticon.

Anyways, I already think the answer is no, lol. That pretty much sums everything up.

[pHantOm]

God Help us all if this becomes a reality...

[Someone Else]

I know. It's like Judgement Day! :P

pHantOm as a mod... hmm I don't know, actually.

[Eugine]

Phantom --- well... I reallly can't remember any of your posts which is a bad thing because you aren't active enough which wouldn't make you chosen to be a moderator.

[ForteGX]

I was mostly put off by being a mod because of the unbelievable number of reports. And for the most part, they were REALLY nothing of great concern.

[Luna]

Phantom would be one of the best mods this place would ever see. He has the right attitude.

[Echo_djinn]

So this topic is like a way for us to give reasons for why we/someone else would make a good Mod? Or is this about Anubis making a good mod?

Anyways, I think Sheba, WD, and Andross would make good mods. They seem responsible enough, plus some of them already have experience. Though, I still wonder why we need more mods in GSSF with such little activity.

[I'm Always BROKE]

Yeah the activity is low again. And the huge spammers and newbies are gone so we don't really need more mods. Eugine is doing fine.

[pHantOm]

Ive been an admin for over a year in my clan, with these same exact forums. It wasnt until we closed the clan down for a month due to the owner getting divorced and left the clan did we all lose admin. So I know how to run the forums well enough. Im currently applying to become a CEO of the clan, which gets FTP of all the clans servers etc. Would be pretty neat.

And thank you sheba for the compliment. :P But in order to be a moderator you have to have built respect within the community your moderating, and that takes alot of time sometimes. Thats what would make you a more suitable moderator. And a girls touch in the moderator group wouldnt hurt either. =)

[I'm Always BROKE]

Well you have my respect already Phantom. Still if you wanna mod this place become more active in other topics. Not only the MapleStory topic. :P Visit us at the Common Room some more and you will do fine. :D

[Eugine]

YEP! I do fine ^^

We don't need new moderators really. It's good, eventhough Max, Ivan :P :o :) :D , Izar and Golden Legacy aren't that active I see the forum in good shape (well sort of)

[Someone Else]

I think a replacement for GL would do some good, anyway.

[Echo_djinn]

The guy still comes online. I remember him reading up on the topic"The Next Generation". Anyways, if GL feels like giving up his position then I guess thats his choice.

[Eugine]

I don't think they will just remove GL from the moderator's list. If he gives it up then yes, it would be most likely that he will be replaced.

[Someone Else]

Seems he was on about a week ago. Fact remains he's not active enough to be a good moderator. =/

[Eugine]

Who do you guys think will most likely replace GL if he steps down?

[Someone Else]

Good question. There are at least four potential moderators.

Me (Right. =P), Anubis perhaps, maybe Agatio again, Andross maybe.

People that are respected by the majority of members, and are mature and don't flame people. That kind of takes Andross and Anubis out of the competition, though. No offense, guys. :P

[Echo_djinn]

Me. Why not? I am sexy. <---My only convincing arguement.

No. I'd say Sheba a long with the rest of the people WD mentioned.

[Sea of Time]

I can't believe we've spent five pages talking about Anubis becoming a MOD.

Does anyone think I would make a good MOD? :P

And WD, I dunno, I'm not sure. I guess so, but you're on and off all the time; they'd need people who are consistently around.

Same goes for Sheba, really. Sheba would definetly be a preffered pick over me and the rest, but would she really want to be a mod..?

Now, would I really want to be a mod? You hit the nail right on. And the answer is NEIN!

[Eugine]

I've encountered people like Sheba in alot of forums. They are members who'd get the moderating job anyday but simply refuses them always. Why is that so :P

There's many reasons actually.

Lack of interest, pride, not exactly agreeing with the behaviour of certain moderator/ing activities in the past.

Et cetera.

Being a mod was **** for me.

Firstly, I couldn't crack the ****s at people, I couldn't swear, or do anything to set a bad example.
Secondly, signing onto the forums and finding 6 reports was a royal pain in the ass.

So this topic is like a way for us to give reasons for why we/someone else would make a good Mod? Or is this about Anubis making a good mod?

Anyways, I think Sheba, WD, and Andross would make good mods. They seem responsible enough, plus some of them already have experience. Though, I still wonder why we need more mods in GSSF with such little activity.

It's both, it's a topic to discuss me, and it's a topic to dicuss others.

But in order to be a moderator you have to have built respect within the community your moderating, and that takes alot of time sometimes.

Everyone will respect my authority!

I think I should be a moderator, I would make a good one (I think). I hope I will be considered if the next moderator applications are soon.

;_;

No, you'd suck as a Mod. You're not letting me be one so you ain't gonna be one either. When the 360 comes out and people stop playing ***lo2 I am going to whoop your monkey ass inside out! :P

And why post when you practically have nothing to say? - Eugine

All offense intended, that's such a dumbass reply.

[Nemphtis]

Anyhow, I'm over the hype of feeling like being a Mod. The more I think about it, the more it feels as though I'm already a Mod, but without the crappy powers that I'd never use. I should be thankful to Anubis that my current position is so great, nobody has shlt on me and I have no responsibilities. If I became a Mod all that would change. ;)

Infact, I'm going to leave modding duties on the other forums I go to, and only focus on my website adminstrating. :P

EDIT: Ah, double post. Oh well.

[Ravenblade]

Modding is both cool and uncool. I enjoyed it here but not so much that i wasnt able to give it up =/

As for Anubis, i dunno - maybe o.o Heck, i've seen worse x_x;;

[Nemphtis]

At times I don't even want to admin my own forums. I just hate how when something is wrong I am the one people come to, and I have to hold myself from saying "Look, I really don't give a **** why this guy doesn't like you. You're an asshole, live with it".

I think people should apreciate being just a member, because you can do what you want, and you don't get blamed when things go wrong, the Mods do. Basically, a member is like being a security guard, you just walk around, be lazy and act like you're doing your job. Being a Mod is like being a Captain of a battleship, you gotta make sure things are fine or your ass is on the line, woah now that's some cool rhyming.

En shorte, being a Moderator sucks donkey balls.

[MysticWarrior]

Being a moderator rocks, because then you don't have to deal with the stupid 10-second flooding control.

[Someone Else]

I don't think we have that anymore here, do we?

[Eugine]

I think there's a 10 seconds flood control here at GSSF, yes. I don't get it though so I'm not really sure if its because I'm a moderator or because it was removed.

[MysticWarrior]

It's because you're a moderator, trust me. I never had a 10 second flood rule when I was mod, but now I do. <<

[pHantOm]

Admin is more fun, moderator you have stupid responsibilies no one even respects, if your an admin people back off real quick. ;)

[Nemphtis]

It has a point. When you're an Admin, you don't have to be afraid of the forum rules because you're the one who made them. You are God, if anyone messes with you they are cast into an endless oblivion that you humans called Bannage. ;)

Mods suck, Admins rock. Members > Admins + Mods.

But then you have to deal with the possibility of regular members being on your case for mostly everything you do, complaints, the considerably raised expectations everyone seems to have towards moderators, complaints, dealing with warnings and the warning system, complaints, spending your time telling others to "stop misbehaving" or to follow the rules, complaints, some oddly weird attitudes others seem to have towards you, oh and did I forget to mention complaints?

Ok so that was a bit of an exaggerated sense I admit, not all moderators have to experience those things... My main point being that it's not all luxury work most of the times, especially if you're in charge of moderating a fairly large forum. I'd rather have the flood control than dealing with the complaints personally... >_>

[MysticWarrior]

Personally, I don't see what's so bad about dealing with complaints. But I always did like the simpler things, so exception from flood control owns!

[Illidan]

It depends on what kind of people make up the forum, and I suppose it depends what they're complaining about also. But sometimes it's really just... x_x

[Nemphtis]

It really just blows. Being a moderator is boring. Hell, if I get bored being an admin, then being a moderator is even worse. Sure, you get the 'Moderator' thing slapped on your account, and people think twice before saying things to you (well, some people don't) but other than that, you're just accepting a role where you have less time to enjoy the forums and make friends and more time warning people and pissing them off.

[Eugine]

I don't know about you'll but being a moderator here is much better than being a member.

I actually enjoy it and now, I find moderating fun. I can see the trash forum now, so yeah... I can see how stupid some members are here, remember the deleted posts are always the most intresting thing here :wacko: and show's the person real personality.

Moderator's forum is also good. I get to read up on issues from the past that normal members don't see and they are really intresting.

[Sea of Time]

The past is cool. I was reading my old posts and I was such a n00b when I started. XD
Yeah, moderators, I don't wanna be one because it's too much work, but then again I'd get respected for the first time ever, so...it's a win-lose situation.

[Nemphtis]

That's all that's good about moderating, add to that all the bad points and see which is more of an advantage.

[Eugine]

I like dealing with complaints too lol. Well, yeah... I always said I'd go back and teach in real life one of these days.

Like for example, once a member here was going really assholish on us here right and I saved the day by putting him on moderator's preview... THAT FELT GOOD! ==P

I was congratulated and thanked and THAT FELT GOOD TOO! ==P

[Nemphtis]

Okay that's another nice thing about being a mod, idiots always kiss your ass. But there's still a load of good reasons why you wouldn't be on either.

[Eugine]

Let me see:
The effort, time, and change.

You have to put out more effort into the forum even more now, and even sometimes more than the admins (as my case may be, since I read through every topic on the forum...)

Time... well in putting out your effort you use more time.

Change... Changing from a member to a moderator was really rough for me for about two weeks. You wonder if you're doing the right stuff, right actions, wether people will like you or not... All sorts of stuff. You lose friends.

[I'm Always BROKE]

O.o;;; Okay I would have quitted a long time before you now did Eugine...
Daaaymn... Doing all those stuff just for a forum? '~'
Kinda useles I think... Well good that you quitted anyway, it's not because you was bad, it's because you made the right dessision. o.o;

[MysticWarrior]

Methinks the only bad thing is looking through topics that don't interest you for signs of abnormal activity. But that can be fixed with the trusty report button. =P

[Nemphtis]

I used the report button once... I felt so damn dirty... Bah, I wonder what I used it for...
