This guy is gonna make it far in this business, I can tell.
Even though he confused Dumbledore with Gandalf?

YOU SHALL NOT PASS HIM.


I think you confused Dumbledore and Gandalf with Old Papa Rich.
Point taken, yet I don't give a Fawkes.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I would like to submit my application. Please seriously consider me for this position.

Forum Ninja Application

1. User Name
None of your damn business. Frankly, I'm offended that you're delving into such a personal place right off the bat. I have to acknowledge my suspicions that this is less of an application, and more of an attempt to stalk us.
2. Location
This lends itself to my earlier suspicion. I'm honestly considering contacting the FBI.

3. Why do you want to become a Forum Ninja?
I don't feel like playing by your rules. As such, I won't answer your multiple choice questions in your preferred format. I'd like to be a Ninja so that I may obtain information on you, Foman, and counter-stalk you. As recompense.
4. Please rank the current Forum Ninjas from hottest to ugliest.
Absolutely none of you even approach what I'd call attractive. I in fact, find all of you quite revolting. Repugnant even. I am currently typing with one hand, as I use my other hand to hold my mouth closed, so I don't vomit all over my screen.5. Who is your favorite Forum Ninja and why did you pick Foman?I don't like any of you. I especially though, dislike you Foman. You're power hungry, ignorant, to quick to judge, and actually rather slow.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:
i'm going to simply ignore your scenario, because I could never stomach being in the same city as you, much less the same room. Instead, I'd like to once again express my general disdain for that Cube Headed Matt Damon. Matt Damon's head looks like a perfect cube, with hair. There, now I feel better.7. If you had to permaban one Bungie employee who would it be and why?What is Bungie?8. What is the best state-of-mind for moderating the forums? Uncontrollably twitterpated.9. Why is Lumpy pudding an essential necessity for all humankind? Explain, in detail, how its sudden disappearance would irrevocably lead to humanity's destruction.I took the liberty of inserting a better question here. I don't really care how you feel about it. Regardless, I still refuse to answer.10. Which of the following is an inappropriate reason to ban a member! I don't understand this question. So, I'm going to go back and delete the question mark, so it seems as though you're stating it, and also don't understand how English works.11. Please explain why the following statement is true:

"Everyone reading this did not bother to go back and see if I actually did replace the question mark?
That's not a statement, that's a question. You seem to have somehow completely misunderstood what precisely is a statement, and what is a question. Incidentally, your syntax is atrocious. I recommend you let someone else handle the application process.

No thanks.

From frequenting a few other sites - or even groups on here - those that want it are usually the worst picks. Not to mention - my god how many applicants they'd get (prerequisites or not).
People really need to stop saying that.

The ones they shouldnt pick are the people who, through their actions, constantly and consistently are manifesting that they want the position yet are in complete denial and give the answer you just gave along with a no whenever someone asks them.

I do not categorize you as one of those people but you need to get off the generic-reply-train.

Op - whilst I like this idea in principle, it would further add to the e-peen show-and-tell that the internet suffers from already.

I've met members on here with 5+ year accounts trolling newbies...

I've seen accounts with less than 1 year posting helpful / funny / community spirited posts that would have my vote hands down to be a Ninja.

At the end of the day, the current system works. The Ninja's know what sort of person could make a good forum moderator - sifting applications isn't the right way to approach this.

/my 2 cents.

I can see what you mean, but I just don't think people like that get noticed as much as the people with the flashy titles and the high post per day ratios; that's where an application system would come in handy.

I can't accurately say what kind of requirements an application like this should have since I don't really know the specifics of how the current system works, but I know that the requirements should probably be strict enough so that there won't be an overwhelming amount of applications to go through.

Forum Ninja Application
Please explain all answers.

1. User Name

I go by many names: ghost, apparition, spirit, phantom, poltergeist, shadow. But we are all one name.

2. Location

Hearing knocking on doors, investigating mysteries, blowing up stuff, facing Death with a torch blower. All in one sequence. Hey! That only happens in movies.

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

How about f: World domination? There's nothing more secret and diabolical than secretly compromising the Seventh Column plan and secretly rewriting it with my own secret interests. Whoops, I just made a mistake there... :3

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

No can do. I'm a lone wolf. I don't associate with anyone. I pick them off from a distance...

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

Because he made this application, giving me a chance to ask for something that has nothing to do with this application!

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

Get him another drink. Or Help him to the bathroom. I do not film anything other than my own endeavors. Oh wait, but then I'll be inadvertently filming the event. Yeah, let's go with All of the above.

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

Who am I to exercise great power unto one mortal? That power will choose for itself (and if it doesn't, after a 7 year wait, I'll use a sacred method to determine who's gone naughty).

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

Other: Invisible. I follow the Disembodied Soul in his activities.

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

One year. Might as well be generous. They are watching.

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.

None of the above are inappropriate reasons.

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."

Because there's nothing wrong with abusing authority... unless you haven't disarmed the users first.

And that is why I'd make a fine moderator. Make it happen or just make me an Honorable Member so I can feel contradictory to the title.

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.

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

Not to sound condescending or anything, but how are personal experiences with modships translated into a generic-reply? While my experience/opinion admittedly scream and shout generic, couldn't it be that the answer itself is generic for a reason?
