Yes! Looks like you know what im talkin bout! :beer:

Two things I want to address.

First off, by sending in the application to right-track you're giving him consent to post it publicly in the moderators forum where it can be discussed.

Secondly, many of you have asked what exactly a moderator does. Essentially a moderator is the enforcer of the standards that they impose on musicbanter (through the forum rules as well as that long waver you click 'Agreed' to when you joined but never actually read.) Outlined in there are rules against spamming (which a moderator would have to delete) and how to conduct yourself on the forum (failure to do so results in a ban.)

There's more specifics things a moderator does, such as a merging duplicate threads and duplicate posts and acting as the referee in arguments. It's a lot of bitch work I won't lie.

I used to be a Moderator in another forum alot like this one (at which I quit, but only because I felt unwanted and that I didn't need it anymore) so I know just about everything there is to know, I was there for about a year.

I'm a great appreciater and believer in the dugnad-spirit and think all internet communities could use more of it .. You know, members getting together and shining the place up. ;)

I said I wouldn't apply for the job, but now I have after all. Moderators leaving their positions can lead to more work for the others and of course a turnover in the social aspect of modding .. All this has potential of causing more mods to tire which in turn is not good for MB, so let's hope that doesn't happen and good luck to all worthy candicates.

And thanks to triple J and Cardboard for their efforts! :)

i could help you i know i don't have many posts but i get on about everyday for 2+ hours...i hate spammers with a passion just tell me what i gotta do and ill do it...pm me and/or quote with reply?

I know my vote doesn't count for shit but I say tore is the most qualified for this task.

Props to everyone that applied.

Your avatar cracks me up.

Likewise.

That avatar would make a great mod.

I concur and am a little surprised he didn't want to, however Tore you strike me as a man who's very dedicated to his schooling and for that I can both respect and appreciate.

I'm starting to think this whole mod application thing is an April fool's joke. The timing is certainly right.

I think you're wrong, seeing as they posted it yesterday.

The april fools joke is that as soon as they are modded we're all going to quit & make them do it all on their own.

What a cruel sense of humor

Remember that one year when Merkaba and I got into a giant fight? Classic.

:(

I think tore will be a great mod....until the polar madness sets in...:laughing:

right-track did i have a good app.?

True, but it gives more time to pick the right sap who won't question Right-Track when he asks for the new mod's credit card info to "ensure moderator integrity".

;)

Wait, so you don't need to submit your credit card number to be a mod?

I was wondering where that charge for 8 DVDs of farm porn came from.
:confused:

Closing time for applications ends in 2 hours time.

The response has been great and we've got shitloads to consider.
Mods will be deciding over the next few days.
The new mod(s) will be informed via PM.
Results will be announced shortly after.

Anyone who was only even remotely considering applying, should do so now.

:laughing:
Oh, you mean Donkey Dong 3?

Actually, that was purchased right before I gave them my credit card number ...

this has absoulutly no relation to the thread subject....at all....lol:bringit:

Ok, ok we'll stop. :D

Nyuk nyuk nyuk!

But in all seriousness...
I kinda want to apply, but I feel so douchey about it. I hated being a mod, but it's so strangely satisfying with all the cool new buttons. It gets old though.
I mean, I don't even know how long I'll be in this forum, much less be here with any kind of responsibility.

But, to the moderators who'll be on the judging panel, good luck picking. And seriously, the DVDs of animal sex is getting reported to Equifax.

I applied and I began feeling like **** for it, too. Especially last night after I got stoned and started thinking too much. I feel like I had no right to apply because I've been on MB but a week or two. I'd much rather see them play the seniority card, I guess. Even so, that won't guarantee a good mod. So, I guess we'll just have to see. I personally would like to see Mr. Satchmo back in action, but I don't know if that'll happen.

Meh, I'm not on the downside of the seesaw about the whole thing. It's not like an application for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition or anything.

Edit:
But that would be so cool.

Everyone who is interested in applying should apply. Even if you have been here for a couple weeks means nothing. I am sure you have a set of skills and talents that will be useful for moderating a forum. Don't feel bad about it lol. At least you gave in an application and are actually interested in the position. Good luck to you all.

Applications are now closed.

Results in...stay tuned.

Tore better get the job. He's done some really great things without even being a mod.

Yeah, I think he's probably the most deserving. Great contributor.

I miss JJJ :(

but yeah tore fo mod

I can guarantee you tore wasn't picked. We did a lot of thinking over a lot of applications and decided to go a different route in regards to picking moderators (and thinning the amount of nominations.) We decided to only pick members who joined March of 2009 (and February in one case) we feel it will give a breath of fresh air to the mod team and a sense of innovation to the forums. I know this might upset some of you but I'm excited for what the future holds.

Plus we get to mould them into shape.
Like putty so to speak...or our own private pack of dobermans.
We felt that if we could have total control over the new mods, then we could achieve a blueprint for the future of MusicBanter.

I just hope there active.

I'd like to thank all the female applicants for their bikini pics they sent , they were very helpful in our decision making although someone should have mentioned to coryallen2 it wasn't necessary.

They have no choice!

Musicbanter is their Gezamptkunstwerk.

That's the stupidest ****ing thing I've ever read in my life. :tramp:
