Moderator Applications

If they did indeed join last week, that is a determining factor in picking them. Sure, it can weed them out, but I'd like to think we're already restrictive enough as it is (clearly, seeing this thread).

Edit: And lol. Ninja'd.

dmaster out.
 
Just fill out your applications and stop speculating about everything. I'm not even reading this thread anymore - I stopped after my last post, whenever that was.
 
@juliacoolo: what I meant was that among the entire pokebeach staff, only a select few are that young and the ratio is probably going to be very similar on other forum websites.

@DarkLucario: I've seen many people who joined in 2006 or 2007 and have nearly 15 posts ever. They just forget about the site and leave once they achieve a goal or something (in this case becoming a mod).
 
I find it funny that sweet dawn berlitz has a huge point and the only people that don't agree with her are the people with under 30 post!

This thread fails so much now at this point that I can only agree and support your decision.

I find it funny that you aren't even using proper grammar in your post here. I spotted 4 mistakes in here (3 of which are grammatical).
It's not the number of posts that matter; it's the post content. Post count really doesn't mean much of anything; I highly doubt that someone who can't make more than a 2-sentence post will be nominated for much of anything. (As Aero Blitz said, if there were a post requirement it would encourage a huge spam flood that would happen this week, which is neither wanted nor needed.) Everything is being taken into account so I don't think you need to worry your head over who's going to get picked. The people who get picked are the ones who are the most qualified to serve in the position.
That isn't to say that everyone who gets picked will have a nearly non-existent post count, but if every single one of those posts was incredibly thoughtful and insightful, that would make that person a very likely candidate.
 
@EVERYBODY: POST COUNT DOES NOT MATTER! (lol caps) Seriously, if you want to see if someone's new view their profile and last login. Just because they don't post doesn't mean that they don't go online 2 hours a day. Of course, if your post count is low because your new then you're probably not going to get the position. The whole purpose is to find intelligent, mature, and experienced people on Pokebeach.

Can anyone confirm that AIM works on Dial-Up?
I can personally confirm it. At least I can mostly. I used to have AOL, and their browser. It had a built-in AIM, and it worked flawlessly. So I don't think there's much of a problem.

Yes, but maturity is a difficult factor to measure online.

In my post I was refering to online. But yes, I understand what you're saying. Being a mod is a big job, and the one who decides to pick the mods, has to be careful as to who they pick. Age will always play a big factor in things like this. But it won't matter if they're mature enough to have the job.

Best of luck to everyone though. Mods and Members alike.

So is this the surprise? :F

No, this is phase two. Phase three is the surprise! :p

I'm aware that WPM isn't really browsing this thread anymore, so IF you lied to us WPM and you are reading this, is dmaster's promotion the surprise? If not or I get no answer I guess I'll have to wait :(. I don't like waiting... :(
