GeffTW's moderator application

Application for Moderator:
1. Why you wish to be a Moderator?

I spend a lot of time online at this accademy, and though I feel that there are enough moderators, I want to help fill in the occasions where there aren't any online.

2. Any Previous Moderating at Academies?

No, but I have been a moderator in 2 separate coatrooms (links available upon request, I won't paste them here because they're adult rooms)

3. Have you read over the NADA Rules/Guidelines and understand the rules entirely

? Yes

4. How active are you?

I'm on multiple times almost every day.

5. If you were to become Moderator and you were called to handle a situation where a user is making fun of or deliberately telling a player they are bad in the chatbox how would you handle it?

I would give the user that is doing the insulting to stop immediately, and warn them that disciplinary actions will be taken if they continue, as well as ask them to revue NADA's rules and guidelines. Should they continue, I will kick them from the chatbox, take screenshots, and PM the Kizaru, so that the incident can be recorded. Should they re-enter, and continue again, I will ban them from the chatbox, take screenshots again, and PM Kaizaru again.

6. Any previous staff history?

Unfortunately, no.

7. To insure we can get into contact a Skype interview will be necessary are you prepared to do this.

I cannot do an interview via Skype, because I do all my YuGiOh work on a Chromebook. I can perform an interview via a google video call, if this is convenient. I almost always have my G-mail open in a side tab if I am available at all.

8. What can you do for the academy as a Moderator?

As a moderator, I can not only assist with dealing with problems in the chatbox and threads, but also help perform transactions, and in my opinion more importantly, help maintain a healthy, positive atmosphere in which everyone can enjoy themselves, and learn without stress, frustration or confusion.

Short answers do not translate well into percieved interest. I feel that eventhough you lack experience, you could have sold yourself with a show of excitement about the position. Also, some information should have been left out. The whole coatroom thing is unecessary and counter productive.

Application Denied

The "lack of experience" is always a reason on its own to not except someone because it leads to an infinite loop of "I can't get the job because I have experience becuase I can't get a job." Your activity is good like you stated, but the skype thing may be a problem with meetings. If you can install it on a phone or tablet ot something that'd be good, but the other admins and I might beable to discuss other alternatives to skype that may work, but no promises on that regard. I'm willing to give you a try and get your first kick into a staff position.

Application Aprroved

I'd like to withdraw this application please. Boss Brejo made good points, and I hope to try my best to both re-write my application, try to find a way to get onto skype, and possibly re-think whether or not I'm cut out for forum modding, as opposed to chatroom modding. I may re-submit in as little as a week, but for now would like to cancel.
