Hello everyone!

As you may have noticed all Global Mods have been reset to their default rank. When this site was made the former Global Mods were given their ranks as a show of respect due to their prior contributions to the community as opposed to their ability to actually moderate the forum.

If you're wondering why am I still head of the Mod Team it is because I was the only moderator still active on the old forum and it was agreed during the merge that I would continue to moderate the new forum. Since my promotion was not simply an honorary title, I continue to serve as the Head Moderator.


Now, onto the business at hand.

As I am now the sole Moderator, I am in need of a small team of Global Moderators to assist me. If you feel you are up to the task please continue to read the requirements and submit an application to me via PM. Applying via any other means will be ignored. Former members of the Mod Team are free to apply, but are not guaranteed a spot.

Requirements:
  • You must follow all rules and set an example for other members.
  • You must follow any direction given to you by me, the Head Moderator (, or in some cases an Admin)
  • You must treat all members with a high degree of respect.
  • Finally you must agree to not abuse your power as a moderator in any way.

The following is a list of Pro's and Con's that may help or hinder your chances of being chosen. Make sure to mention any that apply on your application. (Be honest)

Pro's
  • Experience as a Moderator.
  • Good English skills.
  • Able to distinguish a spam bot from a normal user.
  • Willingness to learn.

Con's
  • Previous rule violations.
  • Often unavailable to moderate.

The Application:
Please fill out the application to the best of your ability. Please note that an * denotes a mandatory field.

[spoiler=The Application]

Applicants are free to post in this thread stating that you have applied, but do not post your application here. Everyone else is free to discuss and voice their opinion and back an applicant.

Applications are open until I deem fit to close them.


Thanks for reading,
Head Moderator Zero

EDIT: I forgot to mention this, it should go without saying but, "Moderators will be required to protect and serve this community, therefore they uphold the principles and rules of this forum to the best of their abilities at all times and in all their actions."

Would mod powers work from a smartphone?

I don't have a smartphone so I'm not sure if they do or not, Crucias (or another admin) might know.

Tapatalk does not work for moderation. You can do basic things like edit a post, pin, delete and sticky things but not access the ModCP which you'll need for punishing people alongside other things.

Applicants should be aware that NOSK had trouble with Tapatalk when he had mod powers. It kept letting him sticky things and post in locked threads without him noticing, this lead to us being very cross and writing him a PM telling him how very cross we were.

So be careful with Tapatalk, I don't mess things up with the app, so it's more than possible to not step on landmines.

Now that said, you will need to use a browser to access advanced functions. Tapatalk is designed for casual consumption while mobile, it is not designed to replace a browser full time. A good idea might be to download a second browser on your device, and set the web page as the homepage and use that browser exclusively for the website

that is true but it did give me some of the abilities that needed to use, other than that "tapTalk" is another way to browse the forum from a smartphone!

p.s. i love my little pony :)

Immortalized forever in a screenshot and when Facebook stops being a pain to load I'll load it there ;)

Tapatalk is useful, just be aware of the issues. Now back on topic, moderation apps and questions only please.

Zero's decision but I would like to see 1 Global Mod per 50 members by the time Dark Millennium comes out. He gets to take it as slow as he wants, I gave him control of this department.

I plan to start with 2-3 new Global Mods and I'll keep adding to them as needed.

So what are the main differences between faction mods and global mods?
