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.


I myself wouldn't include the public in the decision making simply because they would make it a popularity vote. I would rather have the experienced moderators and employees make the decisions; this isn't my decision though.

As for the flaw that you see with this, I wouldn't see it being a problem if the right requirements were implemented.

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

Forum Ninja Application
Please explain all answers.

1. User Name
Squeak52 - Every woman on Earth loves mice. What noises do mice make? They squeak. 52 times. Then they die.
2. Location
[b]I'm currently mobile, riding in the ever classy mobile home, "Wanna-bang-o."
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" < This one. One of the forum ninja's banned me a while back I think, and seeing how I can't remember exactly who did it, I'll just go ahead and ban all of them.
e. All of the above

4. Please rank the current Forum Ninjas from hottest to ugliest. 1. Old Papa Rick, or whatever his name is. // 2. Duardo // 3. You.... That's all of the ones I can remember, I might get back to you.

5. Who is your favorite Forum Ninja and why did you pick Foman?
Papa, the one with the Dumbledore emblem... I didn't? Who is he?

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 < That one. Yoozel backwards is Lezooy, which sort of sounds like "Leave him" so I won't help him to the bathroom.
e. All of the above

7. If you had to permaban one Bungie employee who would it be and why?
It would have to be which ever one posts the most. Probably JSquared.

8. What is the best state-of-mind for moderating the forums?
a. Slightly buzzed
b. Drunk
c. Blacked out
d. Other (please specify) < letter d. I would only moderate after very negative life changes, such as being evicted. Then, I would have to go on a losing streak with everything I play. After this, I would return to my parents house only to find out I was adopted. Only in this nonsensical rage would I moderate.

9. How soon should Private Message appeals be answered?
a. One year < That way, they have probably forgot about being banned in the first place, and when I deny them, it will carry less weight.
b. Never

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 see nothing wrong with this list. I'm too smart to fall for your trick questions.

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."
Well, first of all no one is perfect. Everyone needs to understand this. Perma bans will be handed out every two or three days to members who have been lucky enough to get drawn out of a hat. I prefer being feared, rather than loved.

I gave up trying to bold and underline everything. Go ahead and figure it out yourselves.

Couldn't you easily say that when the employees and mods make selections for consideration it is still partly a popularity contest? There's more users than we could ever know who don't post but are on the site regularly and know the rules inside-out. They would make very good moderators but because of their lack of presence, don't get a vote.

What exactly would you set as a requirement? Account age? In my opinion that isn't the best way to determine a ninja. While it would filter out some users not yet capable of being moderators, it doesn't take into account those who have used the site but delayed making an account. They could be knowledgeable in all the rules and lore of bungie but because of that age rule, can't be considered for moderation duties.

Well, "popularity contest" can easily apply because for someone to be noticed, many may consider them "popular." I'll never be a moderator, but I can see that many I recognize on these forums may one day be asked to join the ranks of HFCS. Popularity is an odd term, as it has a slightly negative connotation in this context. We look at popularity as being a person who we all know and like, but really it's just one who is appealing to the general public. May I dare say that all the current moderators would fall under this? Sure, there are some who dislike one for this or that, but generally they are all well liked and respected.

So why, then, would it be unacceptable for the choice of a moderator to be determined in a "popularity contest" as that is what we need. We need moderators who know the rules, respect each other and fellow members, but who are also respected by the community. We joke about Qbix, but we respect him (or am I generalizing too far, I happen to respect him and maybe I'm just projecting that onto the faceless "member" of this site). When a moderator looses respect, that can be dangerous as respect for authority is...well, now I'm about to go into a rant about Cartman, but I think you know where I was going.

EDIT: Damn my rambling, forgot a few points I wanted to make.

I think that the choice to include a new moderator should be left up to whomever decides it already as it seems to work well. I do not think the choice should be up to the public as then it would become the negative form of a "popularity contest" where people only pick the ones that they are friends with and think that because of this that they will be treated less harshly than if they elected someone they did not know. This may actually be true, in many cases, but I still don't think the "vote" should be up to us.

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 don't see what you mean by this. An application system would make it so those kind of users would be able to be considered to be a Forum Ninja. Sure, it could still turn into a popularity contest, but I was thinking that the moderators and employees would be better than that.

I don't know the best requirements for choosing Forum Ninjas, but I would think that account age and ban/warning history would play a large role in this. You can come up with a possible scenario of someone being a perfect candidate for a Forum Ninja, but they didn't meet the requirement of account age because they didn't join until a later date, however they would most likely still be inexperienced with certain areas of the site if they didn't have a profile.

As EL said, "Your posts are your résumé".

Based on all we know so far, the Webteam seems perfectly satisfied with the way we recruit moderators already. These applications sound like they might be somewhat useful, but not that useful, and could possibly cause some disruption on the forums.

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

Forum Ninja Application
Please explain all answers.

1. My username is HOOBLA 911. [source]

2. ***CLASSIFIED*** [message for more details]

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

I'm going to go for C. My reasoning? I could later use this pictures and blackmail Stosh to do the things I want. Later on, when I'm retired, I would auction them off and make lots of money.

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

I don't really know all of them, so I'll name the ones I do know, from hottest to ugliest:

Foman
Duardo
True Underdog
Borrowedchief
Recon
Gods Prophet

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

I chose Foman for several reasons. One, he is hot (see above), two, his name has a nice ring to it, and three I is hot.

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

I'm going with D. here, for obvious reasons. Think of all the views I would get!!

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

Achronos. He's so mean sometimes. And plus, the look on his face when he's banned from his own website would be priceless.

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

D., other. For me, other is: Eating animal crackers and milk.

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

A., and that's being nice.

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.

B. There are no womenz on the internet.

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."

This shows the dominance of the Ninja and reminds the user that they have no right.


I will be expecting my promotion soon.

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.


Aw, isn't that precious...

I do apologise. I forgot you were referring to the hypothetical "private" application system. What I was talking about was the current system, which is slightly out of context to what we were discussing. I do apologise again. :"(

]I don't know the best requirements for choosing Forum Ninjas, but I would think that account age and ban/warning history would play a large role in this. You can come up with a possible scenario of someone being a perfect candidate for a Forum Ninja, but they didn't meet the requirement of account age because they didn't join until a later date, however they would most likely still be inexperienced with certain areas of the site if they didn't have a profile. I still don't see how a user who has been on the site for, lets say, 4 years, and only made an account a year ago would be in-experienced with some aspects of the site. Some people pick up the site layout and "spirit" a lot quicker than others. I'm sure there's people who have been here a long time and are still learning new things that someone learned in the first few months. I suppose, account age will be one of the more reliable ways to tell suitability.

So why, then, would it be unacceptable for the choice of a moderator to be determined in a "popularity contest" as that is what we need. It's not unacceptable, in the hypothetical private system, because that's basically how the current system works. The mods here are generally the guys who have gone out of their way to better the community in some way, be it guides or F.A.Q's, so they are going to , maybe not be popular, but have their names out there.

The public vote, on the other hand, will be the a shambles. Trolls will be bumped up and friends will vote for friends. The public vote will *almost never happen.

A random idea popped into my head earlier, and I thought I would just love to become a ninja

OP's actual point^

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.
I'm sorry, but you don't know the selection process, so you can't comment on its efficency.

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.

10/10.

You're probably the best troll I've ever encountered. ;)
