Forum mod.

I see a lot of crap, and I can tell the difference between crap and funny.

Fair bans, open for abuse reports and topics deleted or locked where nessecary.

I just think I'd make a decent mod. I'm on a real lot, although not many of the current mods like me.

I don't want to be a mod anymore.
I don't go to NG much since I went to 4chan.

I even skipped depositing exp a few times lately!

Fuck, I'm on all day from 5pm-6am. Then I go to sleep, then wake up for school. Don't you just love insomnia?

It's nice of you to make a thread like this.

I can just say that I'm not mature enough and I don't have enough time to be a mod, because of my studies :)

look how happy people are to answer :) makes me warm and fuzzy inside.

Both a forum and a review mod.

First of all, I’m very active on the BBS, at very odd hours too. I noticed Revenant was made a mod due to him being up at odd hours, we often talk late at night at IRC :) it's 4:05 AM here right now :0 anyways, I’ve always tried to be pretty much nothing but helpful on the forums. You can find me answering questions in General, Where is/How to (a wi/ht regular ;)), Flash, and the Art Forum. I know allot about Flash (and am very active in the flash portal as well!) so I can provide a lot of help in the Flash forum, as well as pretty much answering any newgrounds question. I was the newgrounds guru on the glock group, you can ask any glock, they all made fun of me, but I could answer all their questions for them, buahahaha. That’s another thing, I try to do a lot for newgrounds, not just the BBS. I love to make lots of movies, and submit them to movies (most of them go on muffin now a days, because I save the big projects for my BlueHippo account) I enjoy blamming and protecting, and helping out the portal, and I flag reviews (which is why I would like to be a review mod as well. I often see bad reviews, and have always wanted to be able to help out (its in my nature, we actually had a conversation about this last week with RL friends (RL?) but that’s not the point))). As you can see, my deity whistle is nice and shiny, but I guess that's not saying that much since the whistles are easier now ;) I’m on newgrounds every day, literally every day. I know it’s a little sad to some, and my friends tease me, but they love my flash, so they respect it ;) (woo jive machine!) I at least have to deposit on my accounts (as well as 7 friends accounts, BECAUSE THEY ARE LAZY) and I always get on the BBS. Currently I’ve recently graduated from high school, and have not entered college, so I have lots of free time. if you think it would be an issue with me going inactive in college, it wouldn't be, because I want to go to an animation college, and couldn't imagine ever leaving newgrounds o_O (no srsly) I hang out in the where is/how to lounge all day as well, and most of the wi/ht mods have left (kinda) :( newgrundling isn't around as much to lock the topics, and enforce the rules, because people often use it as a postcount+1 zone. Bumping threads with questions answered over 10 minutes ago with almost no help what so ever. It’s quite irritating. Also, I love the art forum. I’ve been the fan-art forum moderator on weebls-stuff since 2003, so it's something I’m cozy with. When art first opened, and all hell broke loose, and no one was following the rules, I wanted to be able to lock so badly, har har. I also enjoy the clubs and crews section, but I don’t think I’m mean enough to overturn someone’s club (unless they are way out of line) oh yeah, that's another thing.. being nice. I know newgrounds mods are known for their bans, but I don't know if I could find it in my heart to ban someone. haha, imp kidding, but I’d be a wuss about it. I’d be apologetic in the ban message, like the lame ass I am, haha.

::see edit::

Wade and Tom, you both know I love newgrounds. Wade, I miss paltalk, I could never fix my issues :( and tom, all my friends laughed when the found out that drunk Tom Fulp called my house.

Oh yeah, I don't want to give this away, but I guess I will, because I find it quite funny. at the end of The Final Vote (it was originally going to end with BlueHippo becoming EGSC and living happily ever after) but now, since I picked up this movie so much later (this movie was supposed to be done by may, I’m a little late) it was going to end and say "lets check on how BlueHippo is doing now!" and it explains how he was made a mod and became an admin of the site, and I (a blue hippo) was going to be smoking cigars with tom and wade laughing in fancy clothes, with money every where. Then it was going to say something about, YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN (one step at a time! BlueHippo for forum mod plz). Okay okay I know you're not supposed to ask, but I was hoping it would be so well done in flash I could win your hearts over with it :(

Damn, I wish I didn't go out tonight, and I saw this thread earlier, this thread grew SO FAST. But of course, who wouldn't want to be a mod?

<edit: yes, I had to edit my post, I had a mod delete my post, because I forgot information, so I’m not going to try to weasel it in, I’m going to tack it on the end. I’ve only been banned from the BBS once. It was for posting in a spammy thread, which I honestly thought seemed harmless. but I like to think that one ban (given at 2,100 posts) is a pretty good record, and that I’m a pretty good newgrounder ^_^ I also didn't get a PM about any deleted reviews from M-Bot either :0

I also forgot to mention how much time I spend on newgrounds a day. I’m kinda lazy, and sleep in till about 2 newgrounds time, but then I get on the site till about 2 AM NG time. Then I go out for a bit, and then I come back at about 5 AM NG time, spend about an hour on the BBS, then go to bed. That looks like 13ish hours. Wow, I’ve never added it up before, that's allot, haha. Oh goodness >_< (in all fairness, I’m like, infinitely grounded by my dad at the moment, and it's been like this for a while :P lots of NG time for me ;)

There was another thing I also forgot to mention, it’s a little late, and I’ve been out partying a little too hard I suppose :X it’s things like this that make me giggle, my little plans of eventually becoming a NG mod :3 I planned on finishing my website, and whoring out newgrounds on it, so eventually I could become an affiliate mebbe, and eventually become a BBS mod. I also know I don’t have a huge post count, but that’s good right? Post count is not supposed to be an important stat, I think the quality of my posts outbalances my post count (although lately I have become a post whore, and am a little ashamed of myself, but I love the BBS ;)) Ah, would be swell. I dunno, I’m sorry this is so long, but if you actually read all of it, I’m happy ;)

::at the end of that first paragraph, sheesh. I’m not quite sure what I was thinking, it’s a quite horribly constructed paragraph with almost no form. Hopefully that my writing from the heart is better than some silly English paper, sorry, I have very scattered thoughts, haha::
</edit>

Id love to be a audio or review mod. Mostly a audio mod(its what i know the most about!).

I'd liek tto be alll of them cuz it looks ckewl n i show it off to my frend and i said i am internepower monekys.

Seriously, no. Yeah, I'd love to give up my sparetime doing your work for a nominal fee of exactly nothing, and get an even bigger in-group of people who on the whole tend to go inactive after about 2 months.

First start cutting off the excesses of the current mod team before you go and make it even bigger. And the whole, we never demod people thing has been dated thrice so far, so that's a shit excuse.

forum cause i know whats against the rules cause ive been banned many times

Dear Mr. Wade Fulp

First off, I would love to be a mod. I have plenty of spare time on my hands, and I enjoy NG as much as I enjoy pie. And I love pie. Oh yes.

I can be considerate to people, or horrible, if needed. I laugh at funny things, and and I don't laugh at things that aren't funny. That's a giving.

I have great intelligence (I'm not saying this to glorify myself, I do), and this is needed, as a non- intelligent mod would lock good topics, and leave posts open, one worders like "lol, grillls r teh c00ll", then laugh that "hur-hur-hur" laugh. You know the one.

Also, my list of mod posistions:
1) Forum Mod
2) Icon Mod
3) Review Mod
4) Audio Mod

Hope I haven't missed anything,
-Lord Z

Okay...time I do a REAL mod application post.

Forum Mod Application

I wanna apply for a forum Moderator posistan for many numerous reasons. Firstly, I have been on the BBS for quite some time; and been posting activily since I signed up. Secondly, I make fairly decent posts; whenever I felt like making an intelligent, and somewhat witty posts. Thirdly, I believe in giving credit, where credit is due; because I've been going to the forums for almost three years, and helping whenever I can. I go unnoticed, and I often try to get a form of a positive reaction from my posts, so after 3 years, I kind of deserve a little recognition. Fourth, I'm an understanding person. If somebody feels they have any concerns on the forum, they can PM me for advice. I'm very down to earth in this case. Fifth, I follow the rule effectivly. I have memorised them, and do not need to re-read them. Whenever I do break one of these rules, and get banned; I don't bitch, and I respect the moderators full authority, because of this, I have never been banned for more then 3 days. Lastly, because I don't work, I can be a very effetive person on the BBS. I suffer from insomnia; however, because of this I can moderate for 12 hours in a day. I'm on from 5:30pm(PST)-6:30am(PST). Now, the rest is up to the admins.

Thank you.

Since I'm already a forum mod on the site in my sig, I would love to be a forum mod on newgrounds too. But then again, being an icon mod would be kind of fun. But modding is kind of a busy business and can be annoying at times. I might have enogh free time, but to get the inchiative to watch over the forums all the time is a bit annoying.

Modding is harder than you think, but if I were given the choice of being a mod on newgrounds, I would be a froum mod.

I'd probably want to be a Forum Moderator, i got a lot of experience with PHP, HTML, Javascript, and in a lot of commonly used BBs ( Invision Power Board, V-Bulletin, PowerBB, Phpbb, smf, etc.)
I also have a lot of experience in working on forums and deciding whether the topic really is a load of shit
Finally, hate to sound weird but i am a bit of detective. If a topic seems "Malicious" I'd usually google up the username or website for similar topics, and occasionally i'd find its mere spam and close it.

Honestly to god I would like to be a forum mod. I just can't stand those users who just sit on there ass all day and spam for example gangsta-unit

1. Audio mod - Im over there alot, and I find stolen music all the time
2. Review mod - I've seen enough 'billy ray cyrus' :( audio reviews
3. Forum mod. - Its gotta be somewhere :)
4. Icon mod - wtf

1. Forum mod - I used to spend most of my free time here, but a round about 3-4 months ago, I got tired of the constant "Your mom!" and flaming going on in next to all of the threads, so to be frank, I buggered off. Im still on my PC every day, but I just found the fourms to be full of the same crap, so I have no real reason to come on. However, I Havn't really checked back for about a month or two, so I dont really know the situation, but if it's the same (Im aware of all the things wade posted about trying to make the forums more mature.) I would gladly help out in cleaning up all the crap. I also TRY not to judge people by the number of posts the have, or how the "spel ther wordz" so if I were to become a mod I wouldn't be very biased. Regs and Newbies would be the same in my eyes. Newgrounds forums were what kept me occupied during the long summers, and I thank them for that. I just don't want to see all that go down the drain.

2. Review mod - Too many times do I see a JerryJackson falsh on front page, accompanied by "OMFG! This is shit! How the fuck...etc." And quite honestly, I find it annoying. If you don't get the joke, say so. Don't just post irrelevant abuse towards the author. Same goes for some popular flashes, just with igronant arses thinking they're "Hardcore" becuase they started insulting a popular artist.

However, I probably woudn't be good as an audio/icon mod, as with audio I don;t really keep track, and I simply don't have enough time to filter through all the icons.

Well, that's that. Cheers.

Forum moderator because I'll ban everyone and the BBS will be better for it and you can thank me with lots of love and money. GMT timezone lotso f time ok gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

gimme

To answer the topics main guestion, no, I wouldn't be a moderator. I wouldn't have enough time to do it.

But if I had to choose, I'd be a forum moderator.

I have had some experiance at the job, but only in some minor forums with a little over 100 users. I have a good sence what is abusive and what is not. I am always responsible and usually work, even if it is volauntry.

I would be somewhat strict, but still understad what is humorous and bend the rules a 'lil. My age is probably the biggest broblem, because I'm only 14 and can be immature at times.

I live in GMT + 2. And get on my computer at 4 PM. That would be 10 AM EST.
--------------

I know I write like crap, and I ain't english so it makes less sence. But I hope I contributed to the topic well enough. Also I'm sorry if I missed something and didn't answer

I also know my chances to be a moderator are very slim.

YES yes i wood like to be a mod

I think I'd make a good forum mod. I feel I can lead by example, which I think all mods should do. I have what I think is a good balance of serious posts and fun posts. I don't act like a jerk in my posts, and in turn, would be improper to do so as a mod. I'm respectful of others opinions (unless they have no basis to form that opinion), and I don't flame anyone whose opinion differs than mine.

I'd be a forum mod. I'm on here alot, notice more spam topics making through the admin's nets than being seized, and since i have free time (looking for party on Online RPGs), I can lend a helping hand.

If I was a forum mod, i'd probably do the same stuff as i do now on NG. Be active in the Flash (and nowadays also art) forums and help kids with their art while occasionally posting mine. Ofcourse as a mod i'd clear the spam and off topic threads out too. Though i don't have a 10000+ post count yet, i do daily (sometimes weekly) post but i just usually don't make 20+ posts per day. I'd be fair and square and not too strict but not too lenient either.
Since I'm from europe im usually on the forums when it is night/morning/afternoontime in the US. I never really had big ambitions to be a moderator, but since NG has done alot for me so far and I'v been coming here for almost 3 years, almost every day I wouldnt mind doing something back to the community

Oh goody :)

I would like to have some more responsibilities here. I've been coming here regularly for over a year and a half (?) and spend quite a bit of time here daily. Ususally I get online between around three and half five (GMT) and during that time I return to NG to check the forums and stuff at irregular intervals. I also see some time in the mornings between six and half seven if I'm not too lazy to get out of bed.

1) Review mod

I'd like to be a review mod most, probably. I have a good sense of when something is genuinely helpful, or at the very least not harmful, and can see when someone's being an asshole for no real reason other than having missed their chocolate milk or whatever.

I can appreciate that people can make mistakes or come across as more insulting than they actually mean to be on occasion (hell, I've been a real idiot in the past too), but also acknowledge that there are boundries which people should be expected to know better than to cross, and that lots of people are consistantly dicks.

I'm not the most consistant person in the world but I know to treat everyone with the same set of rules. I am not pretentious or the sort of person to see things in terms of some people being better than others, and know the sort of circumstances under which the rules need to be enforced.

I can justify whatever actions I take and would not go outside of the rules and guidelines set down, if I were to be made such a mod. In a purely hypothetical situation, of course :P

2) Forum mod

The forums are the part of the site I'm probably most active on, particularly in the Flash section. The regulars there are generally helpful when it comes to helping with problems, criticising peoples' things, and helping people there myself gives me a nice, warm feeling inside.

However, as with the other parts of the BBS, there are going to be times when people cross a line. Criticising somebody's attitudes towards others, the software e.t.c is all well and good, and there are plenty of negative comments with no real offence or venom in them, but equally there are plenty of unprovoked attacks or excesses of insulting behaviour. There are people who step out of line, and need to appreciate that their actions are not appropriate. The current mods do a great job, if slightly excessive on occasion, but they can't be expected to respond to every occasion where somebody is being a real arse and damaging the integrity of the forums.

If I were to be made a forum mod I would not do anything beyond what is already expected of mods. We don't need mavericks. Just extra eyes to enforce the rules and identify when people are being pricks. It isn't a case of a war between good users and bad users; some just need keeping in line when they start being excessively negative. There is a dinstinction between people with consistently negative attitudes and those who make occasional mistakes, and that needs to be maintained as well.

Again, I'm not the most consistant person, but if I were given extra responsibiliy I can assure you that I wouldn't do anything stupid.

Well, that was fun :)

When I look at all the other posts I know that I don't stand a change, but I'm going for it anyways.

1. Forum mod.
I usually lurk on the BBS about 5-7 hrs, much longer on weekends, holidays etc. My timezones differ greatly from yours, and I'm usually online between 11 p.m and 6 a.m. There's a minimal amount of mods online at those times, so I could watch over the forums. I've been banned three times, all for posting in a spam thread. I usually try to help people, it makes me sick when I see some assholes flaming some poor guy because he/she asked a "stupid" question.

If I'd be a forum mod, I probably wouldn't ban people so much. I'd be a huge wuss.

2. Review mod.
This would be my second choice, when I'm bored and lurking on NG I usually go to the abusive review thread and flag some reviews. I haven't flagged anything for a little while now, I'm probably going for the silver and gold whistles some day.

If I'd be a review mod, I would probably delete lots of abusive reviews, but I wouldn't review ban a lot of people, but I've seen some completely horrible reviews in the abusive review thread, and I would ban those users for a long, long time.

Yeah, this is an '06 user asking to be a moderator. I'm pretty much doomed.

Why I would want to be a forum moderator?

I’m a little tired of seeing posts in topics that don’t contribute to the topic go unpunished and see how many of these perpetrators of spam go free without a ban to do it the next day or even a few hours later. These include one line posts like “Ok!!!” or “LOL FUNNY.”

I also don’t like how topics started by obvious alts can go on for pages and pages and just end up being huge flaming fests.

I created the “Right Collections For Flash” topic which helped unorganized quality Flash get into their right collections. Meaning I spend some time in the Where Is/How To section.

My skills include being a great writer, researcher and I’m able to hold my own in a debate. I’m also skilled in editing in Final Cut on Macintosh and have made many TV programs from it (even though this probably has nothing to do with the BBS.) People even consider me the Weird Al of Newgrounds due to the excessive amount of parody songs I’ve made for the site.

I’m on 3:30-10:00 CST (which is 4:30-11:00 EST) during weekdays and nearly all day during weekends meaning I have a lot of time to watch over the forums.

I would like to be a forum mod because im on alot during the day and the night , regular but not alot of people know me , I hate seeing all the spam topics that go into the site and I would like to lock or delete them. I have always been too afraid to ask and I dont have alot of posts but I have got a good grasp of the rules and this is why I would like to be a forum moderator.

Thank You.

1) forum mod
2) review mod

Seeing as I am starting to fully comprehend newgrounds, I find myself an unlikely canidate. Given I have only been on here for a couple of months it seems I don't have much to contribute to newgrounds, currently. if I were to become a mod the only thing that would be wrong would be that I am not stern enough, and with my hectic shedule at home my logging on times would be undefined.

Beeing a review mod might be an easier choice but a bit munotunous, and somewhat easier than my other choice. though then I would be contributing a bit more than if I were a forum mod, I see that it might get dull sifting through the abusive review thread daily and seeing what has been marked. nonetheless it does not dampen my want to become a mod, instead it invigorates me to stay here carousing the forums.

To start making flash I must buy the full version, but with a shortage of money I cannot get to work on anything. I anticipate to get it roughly 1-3 years from now, after getting it I will work a bit relentlessly on my first movie, after reading through several tutorials. I am not a person to abondon a goal and hope to make something decent on my first go at flash.

I do not expect modship any time soon nor do I wish to become one just yet

please pardon any spelling and gramitical errors I might of made

I am free all the time usually. I would love to be a Forum Mod, or Review Mod.

I would definitely want to be a forum mod.
I live in europe, so when I get up in the morning (when the most mods are either sleeping or partying(?)) I see many threads against the rules.
Mostly inappropriate topic-titles, and at those moments I've always wanted to be a mod to be able to lock those and tell the topic-starter to restate the topic-title.
I'm not sure why, I guess I was born to like to obey the rules and to correct people. :)
I've read all the rules over and over again when I've been bored, just incase I got modded.
I haven't really though I would actually become one but just in case. :)

Forum or audio mod

Forum because I'm lurking the forum (even offline) a lot and I love it

Audio, because when I'm not lurking the forum, I'm checking the Audio portal

Audio Mod.

I love music, I think the current mods are letting to much crap get thru, and not really supporting the unheard of better artists. I also like to help people out, so if a submission never made it thru I would tell them why and so on, give them some Ideas on what's going wrong. There's load I would do.

GMT. 13.00 normally thru untill 4.00 am.
