To anyone who wants to be an ArmorGames Moderator: Answer me two questions. Why do you want to be a Moderator and if you were chosen, what are some of your ideas/suggestions for bettering(is that a word?) the ArmorGames Community?

There are many honors and privelges to being a Moderator.

-For one you can help new people which others feel welcome.
-Another thing is teaching the importance of kindness to others.
-Stopping unessesscary comments that may make others feel unwelcome.

Being a Moderator is important because it helps others and shows your seriouness to keeping armorgames safe.

To be honest, regular members are much more capable of doing these things than the mods. Being a mod, you have your tools, your weapons, and your spells, but you have this image about you. Moderators are the people thought best for the mod job. It is easier for regular members to help others because they reflect the community more than the mods. The mods reflect ArmorGames and when we help, people think we are just doing our job.

It is a common belief that only the best members can become mods. We are not the best members, we just know how to handle different situations correctly (more of less so). Don't worry about becoming a mod because you can still become a well respected member if you remain smart and helpful. Being a well respected member is much more fun than being a moderator.

Being a mod is hard work, yu have to be active all the time, you have to like see every new topic that is made, I wasn't a mod but it's obvious. I don't want to be a mod, ever.

Why would you want to Self-ban yourself? Sounds like loads of fun but why?

Why wouldn't you want to ban yourself? lol.

But I am actually a little curious as to what your profile looks like when you get banned. So if I did it to myself, it would be to see what it looks like when we have to ban people.

I remember seeing that Zoph did it once... either on the holidays, or when she had to do some work.
But the banner can put the reason for why the person got banned, and when they log in, that reason
shows up on the profile screen, followed by the amount of days.

I want to be a moderator because I want to help the AG community. AG is my favorite website and I hate to see it littered with bad questions, spam, and trashy threads. I'd actually be ecstatic and overly happy should I become a moderator, and I'm pretty sure I'd even go out, and give a hobo 20$ and a hug (after I sprayed him with febreeze of course).
I wouldn't have too much as far as Ideas, since I can't really think of anything. the forum search searched contents of a forum, so it could get just about anything, and fuzzy time is probably going to be implemented any time now. I really can't think of anything as far as good ideas except for maybe the club forum, but I've pitched that Idea a couple of times and it was shot out of the sky like a German plane in WW2.

I was an Admin once, it's more powerful than a mod...

The mods had nothing on me, and I could give and take away power at will.

We can ban the admins.
But of course, afterwards they can delete us...

I haven't received my share of them yet. D:<

*waves at Klaus* It's been a while. :3
