2024 Moderator Applications

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Here are some of my answers

I am a stateless individual posting from a Starlink in the middle of the ocean. No country on earth has jurisdiction over me.
I would be willing to moderate for negative pay.
 
Have modded before on a redboard. At that time you started as a submod, with limited powers. If you did well you were promoted to a full mod, more powers. Made full mod, served until board died.

Have made interest known here before, wasn't selected, no big deal.

Would bring a different perspective to the job, being further along in life and with different experiences than many. Believe the present crop of mods do a fine job. Takes a lot to be disciplined here and even more to be banned. Null and the mods show a great deal of tolerance, to say the least. Far as banning, etc, goes, KF is a quantum leap better then AlternateHistory.com, where the mods and the board owner seem to get a kick out of disciplining or banning people right and left, for seemingly anything. Suggest to any new mods they show the same level of tolerance as the present bunch, but always do the right thing.
 
Think of the Autistic Thunderdome users. Imagine them having moderation powers in their own threads.
Think of users who don't care about the forum and its culture. Imagine giving them power in their own threads.
Most of those threads will have shitty OPs and/or die in under a week. They'll rule over ashes
 
I pissed off Null, I missed that highlighted feature.
Cows accuse me of wanting to be a janny, that would mean that I would have to drop my passion of bullying degenerates and furfags.
Moreover just looking at @Trombonista having thankless and tiring job is hell for the nerves. I feel bad that janny and anyone who has to shepherd users and yeet retards.

It takes special type of narcissistic twit beg for janny position to get kick out of power trip. I have to let down my lolcow fan club and just see who wants sweep subforum for free.

Whoever gets in position I hope to God that they act and work to better Kiwifarms, I'm optimistic that this will be the case.
I was there when Spookybones sperged about Chris Chan. Please let someone who loves to clean up threads and help out users be the next Janny.

This can only end in tears.

Anyone who WANTS a position of authority is likely to be the worst possible person for that position of authority.
This has always been the case, janitorial positions should be handed out like freemason rank based on merit and character, sponsored by a current janny or get invited. Worked in blue and grand lodges.
And no, I'm not a fed or a freemason who is secretly nudging politicians towards free speech or anything.

I'm just case example of who you don't want in position of authority.

what a novel thought, i wonder if that's why i've always just hand picked people.

I don't have that freedom. The site's too big and I just need some people to handle the usual bullshit about thumbnails and multiposting.
 
I couldn’t win a kick in a riot, so I’m probably out. Good luck to whoever is successful, and I hope to see you doing good!

Started filling it out, but I wouldn't want using this website to start feeling like an obligation rather than a fun outlet. Hopefully the people who get picked are the best people for the position. Also, lol at this question:

Wouldn't be surprised if this gets your application sent straight to the trash.
The British applicants should only be moderators of the International Lolcow forum. It will allow them to relive their glory days in a sad, pathetic mimicry.
I think you would find that if you would allow the OP of a thread to have basic moderator privileges in the thread that he created, I think a lot of your moderation issues would evaporate.
Why on Earth would you trust someone autistic enough to write a thread to manage human interactions reasonably? Besides, don’t a lot of thread creators get outed as lolcows themselves?
 
I have never accepted applications before, so good luck
I distinctly remember applying twice.

This is your brain on DOTA.

Whos retiring? Ive wanted to be a moderator just so I could get to know Null
This is the worst way to do it. Staff doesn't use the Staff forum, and if they do it's not for socializing. All the real staff/user elbow-rubbing happens in the Spidermen thread on the secret board, tru fax

I wonder what his interview process is.
None. One of the few uses of the staff forum is asking active staff if a potential candidate is known to be cool or a problem somewhere. You either just become a jamny or not, there's one onboarding DM and some terrible training docs. I had to do a lot of experimenting to figure out the controls and still collab'd with Useful_Mistake, Absolutego & Francis York Morgan heavily for the first two months on the general UI and controls. Whomever gets picked, ask questions and be communicative.

Think of the Autistic Thunderdome users. Imagine them having moderation powers in their own threads.
It was great, I was able to clean up so many doubleposts and fix images BEFORE they became reports and entered the queue. I don't think anyone else was as proactive as I was, no one else has talked about it at least.

Hope we can get new mods for prospering grounds.
all mods are Proving Grounds mods, this isn't communicated clearly. Almost nobody takes an interest in that part of the site, if you think something needs to be promoted out ask the nearest janny that you think you're seen by regularly to take a look and explain why in about 2 sentences/elevator pitch. If there's a bad post or correction to be made, open a report.
