New mods - Tunicle - 06-16-2017
As part of the continued process of getting active people and to try and avoid burn out in current "staff" it is that time again.
Please feel free to indicate if you would like to attempt to help sustain the community from the moderation angle.
So your name and a brief idea of what you think you can add and why.
In order to view the community in the best light feel free to comment on other people. That will help the selection, and if it evolves into a non-constructive Disco drama you will miss the end of the thread.

Consider me, 7+ years experience here.
Can be active on forums while at work
RE: New mods - Shelco - 06-16-2017
Oh I wanted to be a mod when I joined Disco, Orange is the new black.
Name: Shelco
What could I contribute?: Well, my Disco Forums window is constantly open all day (when I am home) and is automatically being refreshed every two minutes, therefore, having an eye on things is very easy. Apart from this specific thing, activity, in general, if things have to be done, I could do them, very quickly, even. I often see how moderation requests that are done in a few minutes are taking days, it most likely also is not the easiest thing but I'd love to do it and speed this process up. The reason why is pretty simple, I love disco, I love the community and I want to show that I care, sometimes it is simply not enough to be active as a player to keep the server number on one up, but also as someone who can help manage the forums. So, in short: Time, Will, Wish to speed things up.
Comments on other people: I could imagine Tanith (although he is probably too busy being an Unioner), Sombra (because she is very active herself), Reeves (because he is good member and also active), I would suggest Werdi but he wants to be a dev and probably a few more I just forgot.
RE: New mods - Foxglove - 06-16-2017
I would offer myself as mod. I personally am not a fan of writing walls of text advertising oneself like that, because I feel it can't do the purpose any justice. Last time, there were 'interview' sort of things, and they'll probably happen again so I'll reserve anything else for that.
RE: New mods - Misfit - 06-16-2017
I've been here a while and I know how the rules work (but then again so does like 80% of the community). I admin a Facebook group for my university with about 12,000 members and I delete anything that breaks the rules in five minutes or less if that counts for anything. I have plenty of time on my hands in a timezone when there's really no other mods around (except Wu when he decides to be).

RE: New mods - Fish - 06-16-2017
I have a few years experience moderating on other multiplayer game forums. I want this community to continue to thrive and I think that can only be done when people work together as a team.
PS sorry about the lack of text, I'm bad at "describe yourself" questions but I can surely answer any further questions anyone might have.
RE: New mods - JorgeRyan - 06-16-2017
I would be interested in helping out as a Mod as well. I'm online and lurking on the forums just about all day everyday, and I'd be keen to help out around the place, with the various duties of a mod. I feel I've gotten a pretty good grasp of the rules in my (somewhat short still) time here, and I'd like to get more involved in the community.
RE: New mods - Shinju - 06-16-2017
Ah ye... I used to be one of the most active mods back then. Had to retire as admin due to school but nowadays I have nothing to do so yeah.
RE: New mods - Aumont - 06-16-2017
Circumventing my probation now, again, because you asked for us to post here so others may comment on the applicants.
Been a member of this community since 2008, I've basically seen it all and experienced most of it myself.
I prefer to settle events unbureaucratically as long there's enough evidence at hand so the requesting party can always be held responsible (part of my actual work handling situations that way). Given a set of outlined regulations as on how certain situations are to be handled (and if that doesn't exist, someone should create it but I'm sure it's around somewhere), I can assure you that I tend to keep ways short. I can contribute enough time on the long run and for the fact that I don't like most of you equally, I therefor won't make a difference in how violations are dealt with or the treatment one receives.
Usually over the course of a day I browse the forums on a regular basis whilst on mobile phone and can pretty much easily address upcoming discussions/events/situations either right on spot or, and that's more likely, as bundle once I'm back home.
Contrary to what many may believe, I'm don't much care for particular persons and care even less who violated a rule/regulation. You broke it, you're going to pay for it - easy as.
What I do care for is the continuation of this mod/server. If anyone asks, I'm most of the time around to answer questions regarding most any topic, can direct people to the right spots and procedures to follow (although I know I had so far the tendency to not follow them myself, I'm just like that) and, surprise, I actually have an attitude© of helping people, albeit usually not in public, which we can change here and soon™.
