Sure, everyone who asks ain't the right type, but don't you think that someone who's intelligent enough to become a moderator also would be intelligent enough to know that he/she would become a good moderator?

Think about it.

True, but said user(The one in your example) wouldn't ask anyway. He'd know it's against the rules. Plus, it's just a common curtousy.

Me, I've screwed myself out of my chances to ever be a mod. I don't believe asking once, jokingly or otherwise, will instantly disqualify a user, but I've asked and demanded so often(Again, jokingly, but it doesn't really matter) that were I ever to be modded, it would cause a backlash of people thinking asking really does work, not to mention make the staff seem a bit hypocritical.

Yeah, but the one in my example maybe asks because he knows there won't be any chance for him to be moderated othervise, so he rather chance to tell it. Is that wrong?

Nah, if I could moderate someone and I knew a certain person should be moderated I wouldn't care whether they've asked or not.

If other people believe asking then do work, it's their problem.

No.

I can guarentee you, and you can hold me to it, if you like, that 90% of people on this site believe that they themselves would make a good moderator. Seriously, a lot of people might think to themselves, on a daily basis or otherwise, something along the lines of: "I sure would make a good mod. It's real wonder I haven't recieved the accolade yet. A real God damned shame".

The point is, nearly EVERYONE thinks their mod material. Most people believe their intellect warrents them a place on the list. The fact of the matter is, you can't trust people to be their own judge of character, mainly because, due to ego, they're always going to come off in a favourable light.

In other words, Sparky, no dice.

It doesn't matter if alot of people who believe that they would become a good moderator yet wouldn't.

Those who would become a good moderator and asks will yet not become a person that you couldn't moderate.

No, that's wrong. I know sooo many people who don't wants to become a moderator because they know they wouldn't become a good one.

As I said above, those who really would become a good moderator would also be good to judge themself.

I'm not going to get down and dirty with statistics, here, Rover. I don't know everyone on the site, nor do I pretend to. My point is, there's a helluva lot of people out their sitting with unattainable aspirations. False belief in themselves.

Besides, a lot of people that claim to believe they wouldn't make a good mod, do so in the hope that someone will follow up their post with a "NO WAY MAN YOU SOOO WOULD" type affair.

In any case, this point is redundant.

As I said above, those who really would become a good moderator would also be good to judge themself.

But how do you gauge who is a good judge of themselves and who isn't ? How do you seperate the power hungry from those with good intent ?

You can't. Once again, no dice.

My point would be better served with an example :

Let's say you've got 100 people vying for modship, all of whom claim they'd make good mods, all of whom say they can judge themselves accurately. Now, how do you pick from them ? I mean, they're all saying the same thing, which of them would be best suited for modship ?

Afterall, out of those 100, you're going to get a hefty percentage wanting to be modded for nothing more than power and popularity, which is the case with the vast majority of people.

Everyone is going to say they can judge their own character well, but who's telling the truth?

I ain't talking about people I've posted with.

You can't always separate the "power hungry" from the others. But that ain't my point and it does mean that those who would become good moderators still knows so.

My point would be better served with an example :
Let's say you've got 100 people vying for modship, all of whom claim they'd make good mods, all of whom say they can judge themselves accurately. Now, how do you pick from them?

You've missunderstood me, I ain't saying that an administrator could be able to know who's pure and who's not, but that a member who would become a good moderator also would know it.

Who said anything about raping the dead ?

There's a dead body invloved, yes, but it's not the one being raped.

Ask Denvish, I'm sure he'll clue you in.

Yes there should. Otherwise, who would ban the troublemakers, who would lock the spam threads, and who would delete the questionable material? The bbs needs mods just like the world needs the police.
