This is a very broad question pointed at any and all Forum Ninjas At Bungie.net,
What is it like... You ever had milled carbon fiber in your skin?
Do you guys find it busy, stressfull, hardwork?Yes, yes, and..uh, yes.
When you log on, what do you do? randomly go on a forum, look at new threads... I check the Mod Group for news, then I visit the Septagon, and the Underground, then I poke my head in the other forums for a few moments and then sit on the Flood.
if it interests you then you reply in it? Sometimes yes. Most of the time, no.
It must be tought banning, and supsending, and Moderating...all day long... Banning is a last resort, warnings and locks are generally first, I'd rather everyone behave so I didn't have to do any of that.
Or is it easy? Nope.
And how long did It take you hard working, post answering, Bungie active members to "become" Forum Moderators? I mean...I guess it would take awile, and you would have to be a highly respected member of the community...
I mean, back when Bungie.net was young *gasp!*, were you selected, or did you have special connections with bungie; or were you just average joe's that like Halo? We were selected because of contributions to the community and our interaction skills mostly.
also, Do you, the Moderators, have an "special" Archive of Avatars? or can you freely choose one of your personal liking, We can make a custom avatar, although it still has to fit the site requirements for size. Most of us retain a Bungie themed avatar, but Monty Python and pop music make it in sometimes.
In conclusion, how much of a responsibility do you guys think being a Forum Moderator at Bungie.net is on a scale of 1-10?
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10+!
Thank you, I hope someone reads this, and answers at least some of it...
also, If some thing are "secret" feel free not to answer. I wont hold it against you.
It's hard to measure responsibility like that for me. In my world, you're either responsible to any given aspect of your life or you aren't. We have to be responsible, because in some sense we represent a model of a forum user. To some extent we represent what Bungie wishes the face of the forums to be like. We were all regular members at one time, it was just behavior and social aptitude that caught people's attention. It's a doble edged sword though, because with the recognition and the power to protect the forum comes the attention of those who would wish the forum ill, and we consistently get hate mail and sometimes worse from ne'er do well (former) members.
