Expect Some Developer Ninja Moderating Until Then.

[Frantic Pryde]

Where do I sign?

[Vincent Vascaul]

Indeed let me know what I can do to be a possibility. I am happy to enforce rules and promote and encourage positive discussion and a friendly atmosphere.

Ninja Moderators? Awesome! Banzaaaaaiiiiiibanhammer.

[Omega59er]

I volunteer my services for this contract of Forum Moderation!

[MaddMaxx]

I would offer my services as well, being a Canuck and all.

[Grax]

Let me know if there's anything I can do for you . I've been around the MMO scene for quite a long time, and I value other people's opinions to be shared !

[OnLashoc]

I would like to be considered for moderator as well. Is there an application some where?

[Atlas3060]

How can you expect a ninja? You can't even see them!

Nice Intro Bryan!

Again thanks to you and Sir Russ and the team, for making this dream a reality for many of us!

[Paladin1]

Expecting ninjas? Isn't that like expecting the Spanish Inquisition?

Glad to hear that we're finally getting some official moderators, but it took you guys long enough. Yes, that's sarcasm...

[Amarus Cameron]

Gentlemen I do believe that they have been combing the boards and will chose their own, based on the posting that has been going on so far...or maybe they will just hire some. But I would like us to be able to save them a buck and community moderate ourselves, though this is official stuff that may not happen.

[Dymlos2003]

I'm a mod for the gametrailers forums. I have experience haha

[Mater]

i would love to help i can be here 9 hours a day ... witch i am reading everything anyways LOL

[Damocles]

Blake be praised.

[CoffiNail]

Glad to hear it! I am sure Kyle is being over whelmed here... and by his title I guess he is also busy with the actual development of the site itself... I would like him to work on that and not need to be using all his valuable time watching the forums.

As Amarus Said, why are you asking... is not the common rule of thumb is if you tend to ask, you get taken out of the lineup?

So far that would be the best candidate as he is relating experiance... if you WANT to apply for something tell them WHY not just say OHH ME!!! PLEASE TEACHER PIC ME I KNOW THE ANSWER!!

I, for one, are glad to meet our Ninja Overlords. As for volunteer moderators, I'm sure there will be information stickied somewhere about it in the near future. It really doesn't help to just jump with your hand raised going "Pick me! Pick me!". Remember time reveals all.

[RoundTop]

This topic is one giant pick me sign.

Personally I would love to say people in Vancouver should be picked so we can go to meetings, but I know that isn't realistic. Apart from that there should be some worldwide spread of mods so that it is not centralized in a few time zones. Although GMT-5 through GMT-8 are the majority of the market, there are plenty of players in Europe and Asia as well (If the German BT community is anything to go by).

Mods don't have to be prolific posters, however they have to know the difference between a personal post and a corporate post, and to mitigate differences. They keep the boards civil without becoming a censor. They help the newbies find the right forums and feel welcome.

Honestly if any of the mods from the Classic Battletech forums came over to this site, I would definitely recommend them. They know where to draw the line and are knowledgeable about the universe.

Just me $0.02
