How do I become a community moderator?

edited April 2015 in General Discussion (PC)
I'd love the joys of being able to read half of an OP, then decide it doesn't suit my opinion or "isn't productive". I'm assuming they don't get paid?

Just FYI: Opinions cannot be finitely measured. Facts typically can. Therefore, saying "This thread isn't productive anymore. Nope, not one bit." with no evidence of this is opinion. People can bicker all they like in general discussion. It's what forums are for. Show that you've actually done your job and prove there's absolutely NO WAY the forum could be productive to members of the community and devs alike.

I guess suggesting how one should go about their job is unproductive though. I'm sorry for wasting all y'all's time.

    Aw, I was hoping it was a serious question so I could ask you how much of an unreasonable b'stard you can be.

    Erm, I may not be improving the thread's survival prospects. :(

    To answer you question:

    Someone higher up must think you're able and willing to spin-doctor criticism and make sure that we all use a language they think the avarage 9-year-old amerikkkan would not find offensive while he's watching cops enforcing apardheit.

    Knowing that i'm right, im looking forward for the layer-404-tomb for this post or the entire thread :D

    How to become community moderator? Especially on several different game forums, like some of "our" moderators?

    Just have a "kapo" syndrome: you're always right and you must show your power in virtual world, cos in real world you mean less than a poo.

    i do quite enjoy the brief periods of freedom we get before the baton of brutal oppression is wielded once again.

    i think they mostly act out a sense of duty these days. any enjoyment or satisfaction must be a distant memory for those poor souls. we should pity them really. either that or they get a buzz out of abusing their powers in which case we should rise up brothers and sisters, rise up and rage against them and... oh... where did the post go?.
    uuuhhhmmm opression was definitely the WRONG word to use here. its way to strong .

    I've gotten to know more then a few forum mod's over the years. People like Cuppajo who was with City of Heroes for many a year. There is definitely more constructive ways and less constructive ways of moderating the forums so that they stay a place where you wouldn't mind your 9 year old coming and posting about the game he's playing. Now that being said moderation on the forums here seem to be more about taking out anything bad said about Neverwinter so that if new people check the forums here, they wont see anything overly bad therefor will sign up and end up putting money in the game before they realize what the game is.

    Now, opinions aside about whether Neverwinter sucks or not. If you people are truely this dissatisfied with the game. There are better places to post that then here. (And this is the part that will definitely get this post and thread deleted) Let Wizards know, I have...

    Also there are plenty of online mags dedicated to MMO's that would love to hear your opinion. That will without a doubt get more notice brought to your issues then posting here, a place where your comments get censured and removed before a single dev can even glimpse it.

    It's voluntary.
    They got freebies for volunteering.
    They exercise bias judgment.

    How can this be?
    Me - who has had numerous posts deleted - missing out on contributing until page 3 !!!???!!!
    THIS CANNOT BE!

    Now as for Moderator qualifications:
    Firstly you will need a good CV - doesn't matter who's it is, just get one from the web.
    Secondly in your online application, you must delete most of the questions as being inappropriate.
    In fact, it is most effective if you just put your name on a blank page, everything else deleted.

    Some pseudo-military service in questionable conflicts may also help to fill out the paragraph on being socially active.

    And the jobs yours!
    ...............vote for your favourite expansion..........

    Just play nice and respect the mods. They are bound by the rules, which are VERY lengthy, and yes, open to interpretation.

    They do not have an easy job and generally make good decisions about thread locks and deletes - but they are not perfect, nor are any of you, nor I. :)
