Foman asked us to fill out all the information, I did based on how I felt on each question and the best to my abilities.I took it pretty seriously.

It will be flooded with request from middle schoolers aka little kids who wish to ban their friends because they made fun of them at school and wish revenge. Bad idea don't do it dude


I agree with the flooded part up there^^^^^^^

Besides, the system they have now(them finding you) seems to work, why change it?

Key

Those who put their name on the list of people who want to become a forum ninja are usually not the ones who are chosen.

It's best to be picked by the web team and then decide whether or not you want the position.

In short: do not want.

Also: Most people who want to be forum ninjas are most likely terrible candidates for the position.

What? If that was trolling it was atrocious.

Even if you're serious, Foman obviously wasn't, ken. How can you not see that?

No matter which angle you're going for you're doing it wrong.

I know Foman wasn't serious, I was just answering all his questions. I thought it would be fun and I know that is not how moderators are chosen.

If you knew it was for fun, why didn't you answer it that way? It really looks like you're trying as hard as you can.

You say that all the time, like you're giving serious responses on purpose but you're really just kidding. Give it up, Ken, we all know you're trying as hard as you can to get yourself noticed and that you want to be a mod. Downplay it all you want, no one would spend all that time writing serious answers to a joke survey if they didn't want some sort of recognition.

That's what I assumed as well, so I sent him a PM much like how you filled it out. I hope that he gets a laugh out of it! In all seriousness though, I think that the application he provided wasn't that... accurate.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

Just for you Fo; answers are bold, explanations are underlined.

Sounds good, buddy. Fill this out and we'll get back to you:

Forum Ninja Application
Please explain all answers.

1. User Name

Rokit - birthright

2. Location

Earth - every human lives on it

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

It's all that keeps me coming. . . Uhm. . . Back - yes that's it; keeps me coming back.


4. Please rank the current Forum Ninjas from hottest to ugliest.

Pics must be provided otherwise Butane wins for being the only combustible

5. Who is your favorite Forum Ninja and why did you pick Foman?

Foman formally introduced me to his mother

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
It'd just be rude to not give a man a beer when he's drowning in his own slobber - it's even worse not to share the lulz. Now rolling him to the bathroom, that's just a common courtesy.

7. If you had to permaban one Bungie employee who would it be and why?
Hal envy

8. What is the best state-of-mind for moderating the forums?
a. Slightly buzzed
b. Drunk
c. Blacked out
d. Other (please specify)

Nothing's gotta more entertaining than waking up and wondering what the hell you've done to piss off so many people.

9. How soon should Private Message appeals be answered?
a. One year
b. Never

They deserve a chance - I guess.

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.
"Just because" is the only inappropriate reason

11. Please explain why the following statement is true:

"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."

Explanation to Question 10 is false.

That would be interesting, I would fill it out.

While I did enjoy that you edited what I said, I would like to say that this isn't the point of this thread. Would I like to become a Forum Ninja some day? Yes, but so would a lot of other users. My point is that the selection process (if there really is even one) is sort of inefficient and my idea is, in my opinion, a better way of finding potential Forum Ninjas.

Bye.

Would you have the application public? So we could see exactly who has applied and maybe the community could have some input too? Or would it be entirely private with only the web-team, the mods and that guy in the trench-coat who seems to know everything?

I think the major flaw with an application system is that a massive influx of users would apply making the whole deciding process pretty hard and definitely tedious. I'm sure a lot of people would see the position as "Custom avatar and salmon text? Count me in!!!!" and not consider what it actually requires so a lot of people would be applying for a position they aren't suitable for.

Isn't Achronos fond of saying that the people that would actively seek it out like that are the same people that would do a poor job?
A great man once said in a novel written by a woman, "It is a curious thing, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well."
