Which forum would you most like to mod?

Piste

I know that there are many budding moderators out there who feel they could do a better job than the current mods (lol!) but ironically because they cause sh!t for the mods they'll probably never get to me mods, but which forum(s) would you most like to mod and why?

Karl Hungus

Why are you even asking this question? What is the end result? Would you actually be interested in what anyone has to say on the matter?

Gone West

happy 3,999th Piste

Um, Im fairly happy to just mod surfing and nuim, but I'd secretly like to usurp AMP and control the nest for a day.

Yes, that is the precise reason I posted this thrread. Why would I ask a question I didn't give two fúcks about?

EKRIUQ

I don't want to mod any forum, does that ruin this thread??

TerrorFirmer

Horror....because I like that forum..:)

That is all.

Ditto - looks like a lot of hassle for very little reward to me...I'd love a nosey in the mods forum tho, lol!

GrumPy

The xbox forum, cuz I'm always tryin to help people out and I know stuff n' stuff.

Perhaps the very act of admitting you are

So it wouldn't be a good idea for anyone,

I think, just for fun it would have to be the

U could have some craic messing with

Dooom

Anything will do...what I wouldn't give to be able to have the powers of teh ban.

chamlis

Yeah any forum will do.

That's the only reason I think I'd ever want to be a mod. I'd feel like I'd be under pressure to go on all the time, everyone would hurl degratory names at me for sport and I'd be worried I might become drunk with power and ban all those who oppose me.

the_syco

TCN, or the Thunderdrome. Just to create hell.

The Galway City forum would be interesting.

Mossy Monk

tried it, didnt like it, now dont moderate

Pigman II

Nowhere. But if I had to choose I'd pick Star Wars as I know the subject and it gets about 2 posts a week so I reckon it would require practically no work on my part. Niiicccce.

Zebra3

None.

Couldn't be arsed.

bluto63

Something easy which requires little to no work on my part. For the reasons mentioned by everyone else

So far no-one has used the option of PMing an S&S mod so as to post without revealing their identity. If you were mod there we could change the rules to "PM a mod - but not tbh he can't keep his mouth shut"

Only forum I don't mod but would have much interest in modding is Personal Issues since it's forum that's not my watch that I spend the most time on. Beyond that there's a few I normally volunteer to mod when the mod is going to be away (one of the things s-mod's do) but wouldn't have much interest in having it as my watch all the time.

it's true, but I can give out information without anyone realising it

rainbow kirby

Something nice and easy... Nintendo or World of Warcraft Not really bothered much though.

Setun

Everyone wants to secretly be a jazz/blues mod. The special rewards from DeV alone...

Rabies

No real wish to be a mod of anywhere.

FlutterinBantam

I would like to be a Mod in the languages forum.

I would ban anyone who's spelling and grammar was consintently bad.




Where do you apply???

LOL. You wouldn't be the first mod to try banning themselves from their forum to see what happens (it doesn't work btw; only an admin can change the access rights of someone that is mod of the forum in question, it's a nuisance when an s-mod wants to join a private forum as the h-mod in question can't just add us as usual).

Diarmsquid

Humour, and then I'd make a rule that jokes there have to be really funny. So much wasted time just reading ****e.

Kintarō Hattori

Lego because it's ace and the people there are generally pretty cool. And on a tougher note Computers/Technology because I do have a major interest in that area and it's good to communicate idea's and info there. Lego on it's own just wouldn't be fair!

frobisher

The subjects's I feel where my experience and knowlege would actually be enough to warrant the position would be related mainly to food and music.

Kintarō Hattori

My understanding is that you don't get to be a mod if you openly express interest about it so......... don't get your hopes up!

sonic juice

It be cool if Mods were voted in by the people!

I'll answer that when/if Cloud asks

iFight

Probably music or something, portable media devices if I had to, wouldn't really want to.

Dooom

If any mods needed to cull a forum, say tcn for instance - get rid of all the noobs thinking they own the place. If I were to be bestowed with teh ban power for just one night...I'd give it back once I'm done, honest.
It just wouldn't be the most populated of fora afterwards.

Binomate

Prison, because it's the funniest forum on boards.

Haha, I'd give you a modship for that!

I'd like to mod a busier forum than L&E, if I got the chance. I'd adore modding the Harry Potter forum, particularly if it was busier!

Lurk

I'd prefer to own the site so I could watch telly all day.

Black Swan

First of all, I'm glad that some people want to be mods and do all the work to keep the forums and boards going. It would be pure chaos without them! But personally, I don't have the time or the desire to join the mod squad. If I did, TCN would be the first choice cause it's humourous and fun.

mountainyman

I think I'd be good at it. But I wouldn't mod at all. Seems like a big hassle. In a few years maybe when I have more emotinal attachment to boards.

Sleepy

Politics - just to ban all the ra heads :P

Rhyme

None, im contented to be a peon.

layke

Modding requires some form of responsibility.

Why would anyone want that?

Tar.Aldarion

I would only like/be persuaded to mod ones that I am interested in. The fora I like are; Agnostic/Atheism, Vegan/vegetarian, TCN, Spell czechs, KotRT, Etymology, English, Rock/Metal, Gigs/Events, Philosophy, Fashion/Appearance, Anime/Manga, Galway City, North West, Music, Literature and Physics & Chemistry.

r3nu4l

Well I would have said Literature (1st Pref) , Biology and Medicine, or News and Media but as I'm unlikely to be offered any modding on boards.ie and I've just agreed to be both Admin and Mod for another site that will be enough for now

Can't imagine myself modding AH :shudders:

Mods are voted in by the people. The people who own the website and let us all use it.
