The Interview
-
Elects, please take note. this is where you will be tested for your wits, abilities, charm, sanity, reliability and all manner of virtues. it will take place until 21st October 2400hours. this is what will be happening:
All forumites (including elects themselves) can question the elects' abilities to be moderator and elects will try to convince us all why they should be moderator. personal attacks are unwelcome. elects may choose to show how they will handle the hot seat in any creative manner they want.
i hope this will be a light-hearted discussion. should things turn foul, i will cancel the elections and just proceed to choose a moderator with rainee.
thank you for your coorperation.
let the interview begin. -

first up, i have a few questions:
to Statice_Dream, Cinderella, The Emperor and hisoka:
you seldom come into Starblue's Heaven. how can you convince me that you will do a good job in maintaining the integrity of the forum?
to I_am_PeTe_Parker:
your posts are mainly... crappy. funny yes, but crappy. it does not give much credibility to your application.
to BadzMaro and The Emperor:
the use of rather vulgar and harsh language stands in your way to becoming a moderator. what do you have to say about it?
to hisoka, ^Haru^ and alexkusu:
i do not have a very vivid impression of you guys. give me a clearer impression.
to ^Haru^:
you said you are only wanting to moderator the forum for fun. that does not sound very convincing.
to StarPuppy:
you showed little confidence and it is unsettling. do something about it.
that's all for now folks. -
by the time everyting over,i tink 2007 already....
-
those who are trying to cause trouble, pls remember u r in our place and be a bit respectful. So what if we create a lot of threads to get our mods? Selecting mods is not an easy process k?
Pls help out by thinking of some intelligent and relevant questions to ask the applicants. Any irrelevant stuff wud be edited. -
this question is for the elects-

are you insinuating that all the people who went for job interview are also being played around with?Originally posted by beastieboy:this question is for the elects-

here is a model answer for them.Originally posted by starblue: i wonder how the elects will answer to this...
the question was
"as elects,do u all feel like ur all being played ard with?"
the answer:
no doubt the application and interview for being a moderator is generally not taken so seriously, this case is a different one. Being the 4th moderator of the pioneer of this famous and unique forums entitled "Starblue's Heaven", one has to outshine and prove that he/she is worthy of being part of the moderating team. With the careful thought process of the founder, she has scrutinized to the very details and wishes to enhance the potential in the fellow forumites in order to sift for the best candidate for being the 4th moderator.
Therefore, having said so much, and believing that the questions as deemed by other forumers, are useless and unnecessary, i believe that Starblue, having the forumers that visit this forum's interests at heart, wants the best for everyone that visits this forum. In order to do so, the questions that she has laid down for us, are bringing the team one step closer, to welcoming a new member to share the joys of being a part of the moderating community. I thus conclude that although there may be a tinge of feelings that the questions may be a little too sensitive, it is for the best of everyone, and thus, it cannot be considered as being played around with.
ok that was just 2 mins of crap typing. -

dont you c..? best way to fight clones n trolls.. is to ignore.. this is ur forum where u have the final say.. if they say anything offending.. either u take it with a pinch of salt.. or u edit their posts.. no questions asked..
on a side note, stellazio wasnt really in the fault in tt moderator topic.. at least tt's what i think.. -
He is not at fault, but he is doing it at the wrong thread. Already told him a few times to evacuate but still continued to spam there.Originally posted by ^HaRu^:dont you c..? best way to fight clones n trolls.. is to ignore.. this is ur forum where u have the final say.. if they say anything offending.. either u take it with a pinch of salt.. or u edit their posts.. no questions asked..

there are some clones that you can't just ignore...they will come here and spam more, hence the need to lock their threads and edit their posts, which is sth I dun like to do because I believe in freedom of speech. But too much freedom can also cause trouble.
So my question to you is, how do you know when to edit and when not to edit? -
can i pose another question back to u..? how can i edit.. when i'm not even a moderator here? u gotta let me try to see if i know when to edit and when not to edit yea?Originally posted by rainee:He is not at fault, but he is doing it at the wrong thread.

and see SH's philosophy... "For the excruciatingly bored", they are here to spam cos they r bored.. so frankly it's through no fault of theirs..
*shit, y e hell m i defending them.. -
I am asking, if you are giving the power to edit and lock thread, how will you know when to do that and when to not do dat? Because as you have said, this place is for people who are bored and want to crap and spam, but there has to be some ways to moderate them so as to prevent total chaos.Originally posted by ^HaRu^:can i pose another question back to u..? how can i edit.. when i'm not even a moderator here? u gotta let me try to see if i know when to edit and when not to edit yea?

Let me clarify myself.Originally posted by starblue:first up, i have a few questions:
to Statice_Dream, Cinderella, The Emperor and hisoka:
you seldom come into Starblue's Heaven. how can you convince me that you will do a good job in maintaining the integrity of the forum?
to BadzMaro and The Emperor:
the use of rather vulgar and harsh language stands in your way to becoming a moderator. what do you have to say about it?
First and foremost, it's not that i didn't come to Starblue's Heaven. I came here often just that I seldom post my topics as I'm busying serving in the NS and sometimes, just lacking in some topics. If the chief moderator doesn't understand this, please clarify with me before this interview with all these redundant questions.
Secondly, I've confessed about my vulgarities and tried hard to make ammendments and repentence. If you can't accept somebody who is willing to change, then I don't see the purpose of working together with someone who is unforgiving.
Please do not hold it too seriously against me for whatever reason. And also, if I were to be the mod, I'll still do my very best to maintain the forum just as I have maintained my previous forum from some other web sites this year. I may sound defensive here, because truly, you do not understand me. -
Question
If let's say one day Starblue's Heaven's rating is on a declining route, what will you as a moderator do to help it raise its bar again. Or another way to put it, will you run away and hide or will you keep on staying and pushing to the last? -
I as a mod will not run away from my forum. Y? Because it's mine and it belongs also to my fellow mods. I cannot, as part of the team be discouraged and let them down this way. I will fight side by side with them through it all. As said, I'm a man of my words, my word is my bond. As a man, I'll not run away like a child, but stay firm and hold out this forum to its very end.Originally posted by renorenal:Question

I've learned one thing in my previous jonb as moderator that, somtimes, it's not the ratings that matter first. It's the people being willing to contribute to the interaction in the forum and their strong mind of getting rid of trolls and harressing behaviours in the forum, that will make the forum a better place to be in. Thus, this will give rise to the amount of people logging in and eventually, the rise of its rating.
Ratings should not be the first priority of this purpose. The main purpose is to create a far better and more enjoyable place to be in, because this is the place for the excruciatingly bored. Bored people cannot stand constant flamings, therefore, trolls and flamers must be abolished. -
tis question is for the elects:
assuming u as a mod of a forum with a team of mods.
lets say a thread discussion between others who reply,ur team disagrees with the poster,but u know very well the poster is making sense n ur team is not.
