I know users always ask us if they can help out with the site, be a mod, etc. Normally we frown on users who request special status as it's usually a bad sign. Users that want power, probably shouldn't have it. So we have always gone through a nomination process, and then take the nominations to a vote. The ultimate decision is always that of the NG admins (usually myself), but I always try to go along with the mods.

So I thought it would be fun to ask the users this:

If you have spare time and would be willing to help out Newgrounds, what kind of moderator would you most like to be? If you'd like to be more than 1 type of moderator, say a forum mod and a review mod, then list which one you'd want to be the most, followed by your 2nd choice, and if you want 3rd and 4th choices. The choices are forum mod, review mod, audio mod, and icon mod.

Forum mods watch over the forums. They can delete posts, topics, and ban users.

Review mods watch over reviews. They can delete incoming bad reviews and they can also go through a list of reviews that have been marked as abusive and either delete the review, delete the review and ban the reviewer, clear the abusive flags and penalize the users who flagged it, or clear the abusive flags with no penalty to those who flagged it.

Audio mods listen to audio portal entries from non-approved artists and decide to approve them, or ban them.

Icon mods watch incoming icons made by the users (or themselves) and either approve them, or delete them.

So if you had the chance, which type of mod would you like to be? Keep the reponses professional, and on topic. Also indicate what time, or times, you are most active on Newgrounds and how much time you spend on the site. Basically your response should be like an essay, stating what type of mod you'd like to be, and why you'd make a good mod.

For those of you who would normally keep quiet about wanting to be a mod, because it's against the rules, feel free to let us know your interests here.

I can't promiss anyone here will be a mod, but maybe if some of you were brought up in nominations, the info you provide here could give the current mods a better insight on if you'd make a good mod or not. It may also introduce us to users we haven't considered that could make great mods.

Please reply 1 time only, so get it right. Do not respond to other users's posts. Anyone who posts an off topic post, or replies to other posts, will have their post removed and will find themselves banned.
