Hey everyone, due to some of our great amazing moderators leaving (Thank you for your help Kishira, Weedanort, Cricket, Mystic's Apprentice and Ajexmi!) we are looking towards 3 more moderators to join! We hope you will be applying and trying it out, and I hope the best of luck to you all! Those that tried before can try again, it would be similar to before

What is a Moderator?

Moderators take care of the site. They are basically like security for the site. They help keep it safe and friendly environment for all members no matter what.

What do Moderators do?

There are a list of things Moderators do!

Fill out Reports.
- Reports are made when a member wants to speak to all the mods at once, and let them know if someone is breaking a rule. We can either take down posts or threads that are double posting, or we can delve into personal conflicts and make everything right again. Don't worry, you are never in this alone! Every mod will help and make sure we make the best choices for the situation.
We remove offensive remarks
- When you see a shitstorm you can see it going two ways. One way everyone is either enjoying it and going for a ride, or the second way where people are sad and hurt. We moderators don't want people sad so say "NO" to shitstorms no matter what it is.
Another way to contribute to your community.
- Yes there are news teams which are a great way to contribute to make this site what is meant to be, a fansite with Kingdom Hearts news and archives. But don't you want to also involved into the community? All these friends and people you see everyday where you can help them and make them happier and enjoy this site? That is one of the best reasons to become a moderator, you want people to be joyful and happy.

Now not to burst your bubble, but not everyone can become a moderator. However, this may be the few chances you'll get to become one so mind as well try.

We are looking for those who are able to complete the tasks above, as well as represent our site in the best way possible, being unbiased and being active. Once you become a moderator, I will explain to you much more on how you should act in certain situations.

If you wound up being an excellent moderator, I might even share my position with you into becoming a Moderator Team Leader.

---------------------------------------------

Good luck to you all and I want you all to PM me on how should you act in these special situations below:

These situations will be a spin on two characters named Adam and Mario, and even though it is the same theme, there are different outcomes.

1) On the forums, Mario is speaking about his opinion on a game. Lets say, he dislikes the game entirely, and he keeps bringing up his hatred against this game. Adam, another member, gets fed up and starts arguing with Mario on why he is hating on this game. What would you do?

2) On the forums, Mario is speaking about his opinion on a game. Lets say, he dislikes the game entirely, and he keeps bringing up his hatred against this game every chance he can get. Adam, another member, sees it happening and reports Mario and in his report he stated, "Mario is really getting on my nerves and is constantly bringing up his hatred on this game". What would you do?

3) On the forums, Mario is speaking about his opinion on a game. Lets say, he dislikes the game entirely, and he keeps bringing up his hatred against this game. He discusses the games flaws while giving little to no regard for the game's strengths. Adam, another member, tries to discuss with Mario about the game in each thread Mario brings it up in. They discuss on what makes the game good and what makes it bad. Another member, Allison, reported both Mario and Adam saying, "These two are arguing on this thread about 'Worst Games of 2014'." What would you do?

---------------------------------------------

There obviously more I can come up with, but I don't want to overwhelm you. Take your time with this application. I may ask more questions just in case.

If you feel this is too complicated or too hard, then feel free to try these situations. You can fill out both applications if you want, but if you find the first one too difficult but still want a chance then try this one instead. It is going to be same as the previous Moderator Application thread:

---------------------------------------------

Tell us through actions and/or words how you would react when you want to talk to a member if they are...

Depressed?
- For example, if someone was really upset that you took away a post or modded him/her.
Angry?
- For example, if someone was angered at the fact that you even decide to mod them.
Uncooperative?
- For example, if someone doesn't care what you tell them to do, and they will continue to do what they want.
Selfish?
- For example, they want things their way and their way only.
Ignoring you?
- For example, they didn't respond yet you know for fact they know the message exists or that they've seen it.

---------------------------------------------

Good luck to everyone! If enough people send their applications in, I will end this application at the end of this week on 9/6/14 EST. Remember, it is better trying than not trying at all!
