Ben being mod.. [Includes Mod Advice!]

[Curt]

Ben loves his status as a moderator, and would suck dick to keep it. He also wouldn't mind being an admin, so don't give his hopes up, or he'll constantly annoy you. Someone let him know he's doing a good job so far..

[13:00] <Ben> Curtis
[13:00] <Ben> clitoris
[13:02] <Ben> Curt
[13:02] <Ben> Curt
[13:02] <Ben> Curt
[13:35] <Curt^> what the fuck do you want
[13:36] <Ben> ok
[13:36] <Ben> umm
[13:36] <Ben> Does that $9 domain thing work to get emails?
[13:36] <Ben> If I make a domain
[13:36] <Ben> can I get an email?
[13:37] <Curt^> i dont know about that
[13:37] <Curt^> i cant get their catchall to work
[13:37] <Ben> k, because I don't want people impersonating me >_<
[18:52] <Ben> As I was saying in the channel...
[18:52] <Ben> I got mod, etc, etc...
[18:52] <Ben> It's been going well
[18:52] <Ben> and
[18:52] <Ben> I've gotten rid of all of the bad stuff like phishers and shit in the section
[18:52] <Ben> and I've done all the spam reports
[18:53] <Ben> but it doesn't feel like I'm doing enough.
[18:53] <Ben> And I don't want to be demoted even though I'm doing absolutely everything I possibly can
[18:53] <Ben> So...
[18:53] <Ben> How much is enough?
[18:53] <Ben> Just so I know?
[18:53] <Ben> How many mod logs a week, or something?
[18:55] <Curt^> just know
[18:55] <Curt^> that you being a mod is you being the admins bitch
[18:55] <Curt^> you get nothing from being mod
[18:55] <Curt^> but you won't be demoted unless you do something bad
[18:55] <Ben> Chance to be a global/admin...
[18:55] <Curt^> you're not getting admin
[18:55] <Curt^> ever
[18:55] <Ben> Still.
[18:55] <Ben> That's what mod means.
[18:55] <Ben> Finn is an admin.
[18:55] <Curt^> finn is not annoying
[18:56] <Ben> Still, my point is he started as a mod
[18:56] <Curt^> he never started annoying, only gay
[18:56] <Ben> what?
[18:56] <Ben> oh
[18:56] <Ben> misread
[18:56] <Ben> Well
[18:56] <Ben> How many logs is enough?
[18:56] <Ben> I know Darkspark was literally inactive for 3 months
[18:56] <Ben> and wasn't banned
[18:56] <Curt^> it's not about quantity
[18:57] <Ben> Isn't it?
[18:57] <Curt^> nobody cares how much shit you delete
[18:57] <Ben> What do they care about
[18:57] <Curt^> its about respect from the other staff members, if they see that you're helping people out, deleting shit, NOT BEING annoying, not being a go-getting suck-up moderator
[18:58] <Curt^> if they see you're up for a promotion, you'll get it
[18:58] <Ben> I'm not annoying as a mod
[18:58] <Ben> Just to the people I know/like.
[18:58] <Curt^> you're annoying in general.
[18:58] <Ben> I'm NEVER annoying on sythe
[18:58] <Ben> It's all sers bidness there
[18:58] <Curt^> you're immature.
[18:59] <Ben> Again...
[18:59] <Ben> I'm NEVER annoying on sythe
[18:59] <Ben> replace annoying with immature
[18:59] <Curt^> http://www.google.com/search?q=ben+...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[18:59] <Curt^> Look at first result
[18:59] <Ben> ben annoying matty?
[19:00] <Curt^> 24 of 36 says you're annoying
[19:00] <Curt^> http://sythe.org/showthread.php?p=4679083
[19:00] <Ben> ???
[19:00] <Ben> look who voted yes.
[19:00] <Ben> People who have never talked to me
[19:00] <Ben> ONCE.
[19:00] <Ben> Giddy was trolling
[19:01] <Ben> Verts says I may be annoying, but she likes me.
[19:01] <Ben> I'm sure i've grown on Darcy
[19:01] <Curt^> maybe people don't talk to you because you're annoying
[19:02] <Ben> or...
[19:02] <Ben> because I've never talked to them.
[19:02] <Curt^> or why else would they vote?
[19:02] <Ben> It's the spam forum
[19:02] <Ben> there was 3 votes for me at first
[19:02] <Ben> do you not notice the trends?
[19:02] <Curt^> well, it's fine if you don't believe me, I'm just telling you.
[19:02] <Ben> K
[19:02] <Ben> All I'm trying to do
[19:02] <Ben> is be a good mod...
[19:02] <Ben> and stay mod
[19:02] <Ben> that's all I'm trying to do
[19:03] <Ben> If I do all of the spam reports everyday...
[19:03] <Ben> Will that keep me in a good mod log stance?
[19:03] <Curt^> You won't be demoted if you're active.
[19:03] <Ben> K
[19:03] <Ben> That's all I care about
[19:03] <Ben> oh, by the way
[19:04] <Ben> I made some money MMing, so I can renew my subscription to TBN on time this time

Lol; Google "ben annoying"

 

[Benwise]

Lol... I didn't say I'd be an admin, you said there is no point in being a mod. I stated that there's that reason.

And as for the rest, I was reading some threads and they were saying stuff about logs, and I don't want to feel as though I'm getting behind everyone else, and not doing my share. :| I'm abit over paranoid like that.

This thread is supposed to help you..

[19:21] <You_Jew> Meh.. That thread isn't going to help him..
[19:21] <You_Jew> makes him look like a suckup
[19:22] <Curt^> how?
[19:22] <Curt^> he was talking to me, and I have no status
[19:22] <You_Jew> asking about global etc, still makes him look desperate
[19:22] <Curt^> He was asking me for suggestions to retain his status
[19:22] <Curt^> He never asked about global.
[19:22] <You_Jew> yeah, but posting that is idk :S
[19:22] <Curt^> He just asked on how not to lose his status

[19:31] <You_Jew> >.< why do you insist on posting logs every time.
[19:32] <Curt^> lol
[19:32] <Curt^> it makes my posts longer
[19:32] <You_Jew> .. never mind i'm just going to steer clear of you for today. :S.
[19:32] <Curt^> i thought we had <3

Ben, you do need to relax a bit.

As Curt said, you'll probably only be demodded if you do something against the rules, turn grossly inactive, etc.

For the rest, just do what you think. You don't have to ask for advice on every infraction, or count the number of posts you mod. The fact that you got promoted means the staff trust your judgment enough to give you a chance.

So far, you've been doing fine. But, you need to have a little more confidence.

 

[MegaMatt]

I sort of acted the same on my first day of modship (the first incident anyway)

Just have confidence in what you do, the rest of the staff can trust your judgement, if we didn't you wouldn't have been promoted

Alright. I'll try to boost my confidence, but I just wasn't sure about like a certain amount of things I should do.

>_>

Can't blame kids wanting to succeed.

Can't blame kids wanting to succeed.

It's partially trying to succeed, but more not trying to fail and let down people who put their trust in me.

Ben really was the biggest backseat mod, so it's natural for him to be modding good. He always reported people and always told a mod to look at it, he lurked every forum just to report people. Ben is a great addition.

Leave him alone, Curt. I don't see why you enjoy posting these logs you have with him because clearly, you're the only one that cares.

 

[Darkgroove]

[18:55] <Ben> Finn is an admin.
[18:55] <Curt^> finn is not annoying

HAHA. Wooo...
/me calms down

He's just excited that he's a mod now. I'm sure most of us went through that phase. It's not like he's gone trigger happy on the infraction button...

Leave him alone? What am I doing that's so bad, the logs look better for him as it seems like he's actually trying. What's wrong with posting the logs? I want people to know what he tells me, to know what he feels. I care? What the hell are you talking about, care about what?

Exactly

He's doing a fine job

Why take that away from him and increase paranoia?

What help did it do posting this? How does that help him or anyone else?

 

[Pshynosis]

Haha, thanks Curt .

How Ben wishes to act off site is entirely up to him, provided he's mature and sufficiently conducted on the site itself.
