[QUOTE="horgen123"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] The few I have seen here haven't been exactly worth seeing......DJ-Lafleur

That bad? I wonder where they look to find it.... Or not

They probably just google "nasty porn" or something.

Not that hard to find disturbing stuff on the internet. :P

Or just hack in to my computer and search my HDD.

Too many cool people here to moderate. Less stress not being a mod, IMO.

No, because the majority of moderations given on this site are for silly little things like using the word "idiot" in any context, or telling someone what they said was stupid. I don't think I could handle giving out silly moderations like that multiple times a day.

Thats not what I'm saying. What I do think is this site makes a massive overreaction every time they see the word idiot used like it's a curse or something..

Am I not right though? What are your majority of moderations? Maybe a few censor bypassing, calling someone something, quoting someone and not saying anything?

Thats your job, but I couldn't see myself putting up with that..

By the way "inappropriately" was the wrong word there, so I changed that. If you call someone an idiot, that's definitely a moderation.

Changed that. Calling someone an idiot is a moderation, what I mean is anytime the word is used, it seems like the mods take that negatively no matter what..

I don't know, honestly. I'm not exactly a rule breaker here, but then again, I'm not a saint. And even though there is no technical limit, I think I'm too young for the role. I would accept a try-out however, if one was ever offered, based on curiosity alone. If I went all my days here and never became a mod though, I'd be perfectly fine with that.

That's what I meant. You have to admit though, when it is used, it is automatically taken as inappropriate.

Thanks, man. I think you have been a good sherriff in GGD. :P

I hope so. It is such a slow moving board that it isn't too hard to keep track of.:)

Yeah, one of the reasons why GGD didn't really sustainn my interest, and the reason why I migrated to OT. i might drop by their once again when the new Metal Gear is released. As for the topic question, I would reckon I would make a pretty good mod: my moderation history is fairly good, I've got a good knowedge of the rules, and I think I'm fair.:D

Well, I might be okay...I haven't received any moderations as of yet. But then again, that is likely only a small part of what they look at when deciding who should be a mod or not. At the same time, I do not really have a good understanding of how moderators work on GameSpot. For example, do they have allotted times where they have to moderate or do they do it on their own leisure?

It's all leisure. We're just regular members here with amazing super abilities that people tend to exaggerate (as in we are corrupted by our "power"). Personally, I'm a bored employee when I don't have a project I'm working on...So I do most of my time here from my actual job.

From my experience here, I have not witnessed any of the mods abusing their superpowers...Then again, I actually took a minute and read the ToU so that might be a factor, lol. That's actually kind of admirable that you guys take your own time to moderate the forums; you probably deal with many things that us normal users would never think of. I admit, it would be kind of interesting to be a mod...surely, it would offer me a different perspective on how the forums work.

Personally, I am a bored college student who should be working on Organic Chemistry but is instead posting here. :P

I'd leave that to the discrection of the other mods and admins that run this site. I wouldn't normally apply. There's alot of responsibility that would come with such a title, not to mention the reputation. I'd rather just post and enjoy myself then to have to babysit other unruly users.
