lol can i open a new thread to become a staff in Main Site/Forum Feedback and Helpdesk? lulz.

what you should do is PM the staff/mod/admin in charge in the particular subtopic regarding your desire.

and i think you missed this - http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=faq&article=31 which makes me think somehow you are not ready enough for that job.
*

doh.gif you cant because you're not a good judge.

I AM.

anyway thanks for the tips...any nice staff/mod/admin that u recommend?

If you want to be a Mod.

Let the Mods/Staff Choose you. Don't Open a thread with the title " I want to be mod for Rwi. "
Even if the mod/staff did favor you, don't think mod/staff will favor you know after this thread wink.gif
Good Luck smile.gif

since i do not know any mods personally, i gotta attract some attention right? how else do i know who is the right person to approach.

and thanks for the luck.

By starting to ban people that go against you?

There's currently no moderator assigned for the RWI section and it is lead by forum staffs (MayAnne, fyire, and b00n), this shows how high the standard is in that section. If you want to be a moderator for that section you'll have to convince them first. We'll look at your posting history and conduct and discuss about it.

And to the others, Helpdesk is not /k/. And this is your final warning. :/
*
thank you for your kind explanation. So i guess there is no vacancy for RWI. Is there any other section that could use some help? i could prove myself in those. im only offering because i know i can be a very useful addition to the team.

Usually mods got elected because other forumers/seniors/mods nominated them; which shows how the rest felt about that same person handling the sections which he/she is being nominated.

can u nominate me please? blush.gif

i can help baronic out at Cupid Corner.

TS, rather than just making a thread asking for a 'promotion' and saying ur a senior member, why not provide links to which people agreed to your so called 'good judgments'.

you cant expect to make a thread and EXPECT the mods to elect you as one of them without expecting the all-too-obvious troll replies.
*
i do not mind the troll replies mate...i can handle their one liners with my own one liner comebacks.

Anyway what you suggested is good...that i should provide link..but that would be too 'perasan' dont u think? lol...anyway most of my stuffs are in the religion thread on RWI...havent post much lately though...just one or 2 a day...

and i also used to hang out at Cupid corner...answering problems and such...but stopped recently because its become very kopitiam-ike without an active mod there to get everybody in line. I used to like that place...even though i was given 40% warn level by baronic.

Added on July 20, 2010, 8:55 pmer...anyway...would it be more appropriate if i can bring my case to a personal chat with any staffs on msn maybe?

the best way to prove ur credibility:

1) provide links to genuinely intelligent remarks of yours.
2) get testimonials from fellow 'credible' forumers.

good luck in ur quest tho.

QUOTE(zstan @ Jul 20 2010, 09:53 PM)
i dun understand why do you want to be a moderator to be a 'judge'?

being a moderator is certainly not fun especially in this forum which is considered slightly more serious IMO(compared to mykopitiam etc) and my past experience being a mod.

so by being a mod,

1. trolling & spamming would have to be cut to a minimum to preserve your 'authority'.

2. every now and then you need to review your entrusted sub-forums, i.e. deleting old threads, closing useless topics, merging and moving threads etc.

so i dun really see the 'fun' of being a mod. i respect the currents mods & staffs as they are doing all this 'dirty' job to keep the forum in place.

but based on your intentions, you don't suit to be a mod IMO.

if your intentions were

' i wanna be a mod in RWI because i find the subforum very messy and i would like to help out to clear it, discussions are conducted immaturely where members are flaming each other for no good reason.i wish to step in and remind the members to debate properly and not treat the place like a kopitiam as i don't see much staff members/mods stepping in'.

then i think i would support you. /inb4TSsayingmyreplieswereactuallyhisintentions.

however i am all okay to support you for the 'elite' tag. cheers smile.gif
*

thanks, i do nt have any hidden agenda...i just feel that i can really contribute as a mod. Can put my excellent judgements into good use...even if its unpaid. was thiking up ways how i can help in real life u know...and then i thought...hey...lowyatt's is good place to start.

Another thing show TS not suitable because he is bias. He only reply to positive comments. If TS can counter response to negative comments with positive comments he gets my vote.  Worry later might become a bias mod in decision making.

If u search through the forum how mature mod/admin are when responding to negative comments. I think TS not enough mature to handle the section

No offense to anyone just my opinion
*

well no offence taken. Infact what u had brought up actually backs up my personality as suitable to be a mod...i do not get emo over baseless insults. i respect your opinions. but since they arent constructive, i cant reply to them....dont want to turn this thread into a flame war unnecesssarily.

seriously, uve gotta stop with the self-proclaimed 'excellent judgment' claim.

Anyway , if the team sees you that you're a credible member you'll be promoted. RWI is closely monitored by the 3 frontiers , fyire , boon and MayAnne. Heck even i as a staff do not moderate that section nor approve its topic. Unless an obvious spam or some trolling going on then I step in. The thing is that moderators are generally choosen by members of other moderating team. If you're nominated then you'll be voted. If you're in favour then you'll be promoted. This is how it works

What I would suggest you to do is to continue what you're doing currently. Who knows one day you'll be part of the team as well. 

To the rest of you guys , its helpdesk. Any more /k/ style spam here you'll be given some "time off".
*
hi prasys. i understand i'm probably not qualified for RWI...sorry for the title....but can i contribute in another section of the forum? im familiar with cupid corner...thats if...baronic wont mind,.or Phd...but Phd doesnt seem to require any mod involvements..so far its been good.

The secret to getting a mod tag is obviously writing a fat cheque to se7en. The more digits you put in the better the position. Wkkay literally sold his 3 bedroom house in the Melbourne CBD to get the admin tag. Honest injun!

But on a more serious note, usually if you're good enough, people will nominate you, not you nominating yourself. Might i add, it feels a little pretentious to say the least. If you are contributing the community at large will acknowledge it. That has always been the process and that will always be the process. The other way is to be nominated by a member of the moderating team who feels that you're good a enough, a closed vote is cast and unless a veto is put in (this was the process last i remember), you will be offered probate status and then after say 6 months, full mod status.

If no normal members are showing a majority of support and no mods have nominated you, you probably haven't reached the benchmark required. Tough luck, try again next time. No cigar for your efforts. I like to think that i'm goddamned awesome, but the painful reality is that i'm probably not and the same applies to you. All of this doesn't stop you from trying harder to better yourself thus being a more suitable candidate in the future, so good luck.

PS : Probably capitalization and superior grammer Nazi skills are appreciated.
*

Sorry for being ignorant of the 'process' for getting nominations. I just thought i'd do it the faster way...thats all. doesnt harm anybody, right?

Anyway thanks for explaining the proper process in detail...hopefully if there is any vacancies in the future, the mods such as boon, fyrie or who ever read my posts can give me a recommendation.

PS:ok, i'll try to improve my punctuations and grammar when i post.

i tot last time fyire boon mayanne all also mod what when they started har har har. anyways a PM would have been more humble then opening a thread saying i have good judgement. also you already got 40% warn b4. i tot u had to be squeaky clean when u got nominated?
*

I'd be squeky clean in a coupla months...when the last 10% warn level would be wiped off. Anyway, i did asked for the MSN of the mod whom i can speak to regarding this. its on the second page of this thread.

QUOTE(cherroy @ Jul 21 2010, 10:58 AM)
Forum is an open place for discussion.
As a mod, the duty is not to judge which post is wrong or right.

Forum place welcomed any posts, as long as the posts are in orderly manner, no personal confrontation, doesn't contain unnecessary points, or any other matter that not permitted by forum etc. As long as the post, comment is stick to the discussion point, it is deem ok in general.

There will never be total right or wrong especially in some serious discussion especially for the like RWI.

Even it is wrong in term of practical wise, morale or whatever aspect, as a mod, staff or even admin, you don't put a "judge" (example, delete or whatever) on forumers posts.
Even it is a wrong post or wrong opinion, it is still a good reading, by knowing what and why other people think in this way.

One may correct others so called "wrong post" aspect by replying the post and correcting it, but as mod you don't "judge" on the post, and taking action based on it.

Mod job is to take care the forum place so that it is in orderly manner, tidy, and ensure the forum place is functioning properly as its purpose so that for all forumers can enjoy reading and discussing and forum place become a good resources and useful/helpful virtual community. 

A mod job is not a judge to start with.  smile.gif
*

I absolutely agree with you. That is why i feel my penchant for being unbias and ability to discern what is disruptive to the flow of a discussion will be of immense benefit for the section i would be moderating(if im appointed la). I respect differences in opinions, i appreciate the odd jokes here and there (even in supposedly serious threads), i can tolerate questionable behaviours and personalities so long as their posts stick to topic etc etc....u get the idea. The mods/staffs who has seen my reports can testify to that, i think. unsure.gif

On top of that my good judgement can also be of use in a heated dispute between 2 forumers in a thread. To keep things in check, and to offer a third party perspective.

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jul 21 2010, 11:23 AM)
@teongpeng,
Your time will come; the local Moderators moderating the place you hang out much at will know if you've been helping and making constructive posts.  I haven't come across any of your posts hence am not at liberty to give you (or not!) my vote of confidence.

Like I said, if you see anything not right, just click on the "report" button and it'll be taken care of.
*

Thank you, i have been reporting a few posts, those that i read anyway...and feel that instead of troubling the existing moderators...i can contribute as a mod and make my self more useful on the forum. Surely an extra helping hand wouldnt hurt, especially if that extra hand is a trustworthy one.

LOL. u know i could have a jolly good time answering each and every reply here...but nah..

You know what? I've decided to let this idea slide...since the manner of which i would be appointed a moderator would have caused massive displeasure among the forumers. Everybody would start opening threads and asking for things ( they dont realize they're not teongpeng, they cant do things teongpeng can), and cause havoc for the staffs and admins.

So being the understanding and nice and humble and wise kinda guy that i am....i would like to say thank you to all those who show encouragements and also those who provided constructive feedbacks (even the mean ones)....and proceed to close this thread. sleep.gif
