In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten
I am going to do it here if that is okay.
[Sounds good, buddy. Fill this out and we'll get back to you:
Forum Ninja Application
Please explain all answers.
1. User Name
spartain ken 15
2. Location
[CLASSIFIED, USA]
3. Why do you want to become a Forum Ninja (choose from below)?
a. Excellent salary and benefits
b. Hot chix
c. Naked pics of stosh
d. There is one specific user I want to ban and I am "rage-applying"
e. All of the above
My response: I actually want to choose non of the above, I don't believe in getting a position in power just to get "benefits". I would think of moderating Bungie.net would be a way to give back to the community I post in and help issues that people face on the forums.
4. Please rank the current Forum Ninjas from hottest to ugliest.
I don't like calling people Ugly but I here a lot of people describe Qbix has being attractive Norwegian woman.
5. Who is your favorite Forum Ninja and why did you pick Foman?
I don't really pick favorites. I do think the Slayer Bro is cool though. Your cool to Foman. :3
6. You are in attendance at a hotel party at PAX and notice that Yoozel is facedown on the floor and appears to be attempting to "swim" towards the bathroom. Do you:
a. Get him another drink
b. Film the event and upload to YouTube
c. Help him to the bathroom
d. A and B only
e. All of the above
f. Other (please specify)
I don't care who it is, I would help them. People shouldn't roll around on the floor intoxicated.
7. If you had to permaban one Bungie employee who would it be and why?
Well, Perma banning a Bungie employee seems counter-intuitive becuase they can un-ban themselves but maybe Stosh. he seems like the kind of person who would think it would be funny.
8. What is the best state-of-mind for moderating the forums?
a. Sober
b. Slightly buzzed
c. Drunk
d. Blacked out
e. Other (please specify)
Well you can't really monitor the forums blacked out so I will go with sober. I am 18 so I don't drink and I think that having my self impaired while in a position of moderation would cause unwanted and un-needed conflicts.
9. How soon should Private Message appeals be answered?
a. ASAP
b. Never
c. Other (please specify)
I would say all the time. If a user spent the time to make an appeal, they should be heard out. Doesn't mean to "un-appeal" it, a user should have that right. If it gets into a flame filled post or spam, DELETE.
10. Which of the following is an inappropriate reason to ban a member?
a. The user is Mythic and you want to "take them down a notch."
b. The user claims to be female, and is automatically probably lying.
c. The user just beat you in an argument.
d. The user is using the "avatar of the day" as posted in HFCS's "Automatic Bans" thread.
e. None of the above are inappropriate reasons.
I would say all of those are highly inappropriate reasons to ban someone. Any type of moderator interference on the forums should follow the code of conduct.
11. Please answer true or false to the following statement and explain why:
"I think that users need to be banned every once in awhile even if they are not breaking any rules, just to show them who's boss."
False, Bans are not fun for anyone and should only be used if a user continues to break the rules. I think by using self control, respect, and not being power hungry actually makes the mod feel more respected.
That is my 2 cents.
