Title: POST HERE IF YOU WANT TO BE CONSIDERED AS A MOD
Post by: Bacon King on July 19, 2015, 11:01:45 AM
Please note that there is no official need for a new moderator - it is entirely possible we might replace Sawx with another current moderator - but the fact is that literally a dozen people have already made their interest known to be considered as sawx's replacement. Since this is already happening anyway, I would like to open the door for everyone to apply even if they aren't comfortable with sending unsolicited PM's to moderators about it.

Serious applicants only please. Applicants, list reasons why you would be a good moderator (like a resume or something) to distinguish yourself.

Also if anyone knows any reason why any candidate would be a terrible moderator, please let us know. I would rather not see a repeat of the last incident.

I wouldn't mind having a shot at moderating if it could help run things more smoothly, but it would need to be on a board I'm active in. So I can't take up Sawx's duties as I'm going to stay away from the 2016 board until January.

Me too. I could be a sub for Hash on IE or help moderate IG, since Peter is no longer active and afleitch are a mod on several boards, but otherwise no.

I am a fairly low profile and noncontroversial poster who only joined in 2011, so I think I might be able to fill in the void for a newer poster to serve as moderator if there's any desire for that. I think I'd be decent to handle the 2016 board too since I often read it, but don't really have any bias when it comes to presidential politics (my focus with U.S. elections is on downballot races anyway). In addition, I have no desire to throw around my weight or anything like that just for the sake of it. I would not become a sideshow like we've seen with a number of former moderators on Atlas.

Knowing how long I've been on Atlas, I am probably the last on the list to modded or what have you but I'd take it up.

I've had a lot to say about what's going on around here which is I really a shame - I like Atlas and its community however the mod team is disorganized and various boards lack any cohesive policy or direction. I have led many mod teams on reddit and know how to operate and how to interact with communities I mod, in the case of LGBTeens, gayporn, and CookieClicker I grew communities and increased content quality. If given modship on Atlas I would attempt to do the same.

There is no reason why Atlas should languish with poor communication and worse enforcement of rules. That's why I'd like to be mod and I hope that I am at least considered for the position.

I just think a bit of an "outside hire" would do you guys some good :P

I still don't quite get what specifically the mods could do better with the tools they have. I also don't quite get how to improve posting "quality" without seeming to posters who get nicked for poor quality (a highly subjective concept), as being unduly heavy handed, and dare I say it, "fascist."  There is discussion about overall policy, but naturally, mods don't want to be told too much how to manage their boards either, so that has to be it seems to me a balancing test.

I'd be interested in helping out if you need someone. I'm a mod over at the dark place, and feel like I could do a decent enough job. Plus I think we should relieve some of the current mods of having to watch over endless boards etc. Regardless of all the talk of "lol look at how bad old Atlas is" I actually do care a lot about this place, and the people who post here.

I was also directly involved in the sawx/Snowstalker situation, so I do feel as though I have ties to that situation.

Although my post count is fairly low compared to other moderators on the forum, I actively keep up with new threads on most of the boards here. I spend most of my time on and quite enjoy the 2016 board anyway (shocking), so I can assure you that any situation needing a mod would be dealt with swiftly and fairly by a Moderator Castro. My goal is not to further some idea of modfascism, but to help this forum that I like very much operate smoothly and without chaos. I've been registered for a little over a year, and lurked for a while before then, and in that time I feel that I have developed the proper wisdom needed to run the 2016 board to it's fullest.

I hope you consider my application, and know that I hold this forum (yes, even the 2016 board) close to my heart and would try to do whatever I can to help keep it filled with stimulating debate and conversation. Thank you.

Way too new.

I wasn't going to apply due to my lack of qualifications, but one big one I can offer you: ability to handle sensitive information and not leak it out to the whole planet.
Too likely to leak information.

To echo what I sent Mr. Morden, I'm about to enter my fifth year of posting here and have a very low number of modified posts. Like two or something like that, and one was calling opebo "opervo" a few years ago. The reason why it was modified is something that still eludes me. Moreover, I'm an active poster and can be expected to spend a reasonable amount of time on this forum, sad as it may be. I serve as an "op" in the forum's irc channel and my usage of authority has been well-received (to my knowledge). In the real world, I am entering my second semester chairing an organization's judicial board, and my third overall term on it. It's a thankless job, and both my decision to run for re-election and the fact that I won should be indicative of my commitment and the respect I have from my organizational peers. I also serve or have served in other authority roles such as secretary, pledge class president, head of risk management, student government senator, etc. In terms of what policies I would like to enact as a moderator, I would mainly try to focus on quickly addressing obvious socks and pornography spammers, the latter of which represent a real threat to one's ability and/or willingness to function as a poster here. Beyond that, I think we need to draw a few consistent lines in the sand regarding acceptability. Where these lines actually are isn't as much of my concern as how predictable it is that they will be enforced. Aside from the clear and present enemies to forum life, I do believe we should exercise restraint in actions until it's clear what is going on and how best to respond. I'd deeply appreciate your consideration.
We have a winner, ding ding ding ding ding!

Post by: PPT Spiral on July 19, 2015, 04:05:28 PM
I'll volunteer interest in becoming a moderator.

I've been a member of the community for nearly three years now and have not caused nearly as much trouble as some of our more prominent members. Past moderators here have been personality-based ones that are prone to attracting attention to themselves while on the job, and that can be a detriment for them and the community at-large. An effective mod needs to have a balanced temperament and not dish out on their grudges once they acquire power. I would hope that my reputation on the forum has reflected that; I'm not known for starting fights and I believe that I get along well with most on here. Regarding past moderating experience, I have been a mod or admin in several forums over the years, including a relatively large one of over 6,000 members. I have also moderated several chats on places like Mibbit, Xat, and Skype. Everyone knows that malicious posters must be handled swiftly, but they aren't usually as much of a problem as the quality of posts. The 2016 board doesn't need as many celebratory circlejerks for hacks and their candidates, nor does the Individual Politics board need rankings of all presidents every two months. I regularly browse these sections, so I know what's going on there. Redundancy and spam have hurt the forum, and I would mainly focus on curbing those things. Everything I have heard from the Modcave suggests that the team is disjointed and works slowly, so I would also do my part to facilitate discussion and bring unity as much as I can.

Thank you.

I've been on the Atlas Forum for six years now (registered July 2009), and I believe I know the community rather well and can command it's confidence. Up until now I never desired such post, but Atlas is facing many problems right now, so I'm ready to offer my help. I had and still having great time posting here, so perhaps it's a time to give something back. Beside, I enjoy this forum too much to do something as stupid as Sawx.

Also, I'm Polish so think of diversity ;)

I'm not going to go and say I have all the experience of the fine users above. Nor am I a member of the old guard. But I do think I am well-liked and respected; yet thick-skinned enough to deal with becoming a a loathed figure as moderators are prone to becoming.

Actually, experience-wise: for two years now I've shown 6-12 year old children around nature reserves and museums. Perfect experience IMO for modding the 2016 board!

(I'm also on a different timezone to most of the other applicants, which could be useful)

OK, here it goes.

I have been a member on Atlas for 4 years now, and have been relatively uncontroversial in my time here.

I generally spend a lot of time on Atlas and would be able to spend time on the forum. The fact that my timezone is different to others would be a consideration to diversify the moderation team and also help fix potential issues if they happen overnight in the States.

I have a lot of exposure to most of the Atlas boards that have regular posts and also to forums in general and how they work.

I don't have the personal issues that sawx did to see his collapse, and it's unlikely that I'll be getting into bullsh**t that makes me look bad.

So yeah.

To be honest, I've always been interested in the behind-the-scenes of a forum, and have wanted to give the whole "mod" thing a try to see what it's like. Not going to campaign my way to it, I figure I'll give this the old Ron Paul "I have no shot but  it I'll do it anyway" run at it.

I'd like to join the moderation team. I've been a member of the community about a year and a half now, and since joining I've gained a deeper understanding of how the Atlas works.

The moderation team needs a breath of fresh air to ward off any perceptions of insularity. I like to think I can provide that change while also looking to uphold a fair, consistent policy of moderation guided by Dave's directives and the terms of service.

Moderators should also be meaningful contributors. The academic value of this website is its defining and strongest asset. Moderators should support increasing the academic value of the forum in order to continuing to set us apart.

Additionally, if chosen as moderator, I'd like to follow the lead of some past moderators in having a fairly transparent moderation policy. Giving explanations behind actions will go a long way to rehabilitating public opinion surrounding moderators. I believe that the controversial bans and decisions made the moderation team have been kosher and good for the site, but I think the public affairs aspect could have been handled much better.

As a moderator, I would draw upon two examples of big decisions made by the team in my handling of moderation issues. The banning of the Update was a huge and dramatic change to our forum community and, more directly, to the Forum Community board itself. BK handled the new policy very openly and explained the decision, resulting in a stunningly low amount anger and dissent within the community. Sure, there was opposition, but it was nothing compared to the epic levels of butthurt brought on by the long, drawn out process of banning Opebo, which still draws criticism today.

TL;DR: As a moderator, I'd like to be a breath of fresh air that really places an emphasis on increasing the academic value of the forum while also looking to handle moderation policy more out in the open with explanations and reasoning, like the Mods did with the Update ban, instead of insular, controversial, sporadic decision making.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I don't have any major rivalries or "enemies" or whatever to lead to a lot of personal drama. I've done a pretty effective job at separating my political views and personal relationships.

If it's not me then I think Cathcon or CrabCake would be great (and many other posters as well), but I would like the opportunity to take on the role, and I think I would fit the position well. Some additional info about me: I'm a poly-sci major, I work in the Senate, and I play the ukulele. If my uke doesn't seal the deal, I don't know what will.

Seriously though, I do have experience as a moderator and have been active in running and enforcing rules in other online areas years passed. I've also been active here for nearly a decade and have pretty much kept my nose clean. I think I'm detached enough to remain objective.

Otherwise, Turk and CrabCake are the obvious best choices. Edit: Didn't see Cathcon or morgieb, also should be considered top pick. 

I should add that I do work full time and so have to fulfill lots of responsibilities and deal with managing people all day there. That serves to illustrate both that I have a necessary skillset.. but also that I'm not drowning in free time. I'm more than willing to dedicate some free time to this place (I already do) but I might take a little while to take action. So that's a possible negative. Or positive, I guess.

I think it would be a great show of humility and a step towards healing this community if Leip appointed someone who opposed opebo's banning. The forum was split 50-50 on it, and yet the moderator team apparently supported it unanimously. It's this sort of out-of-step arrogance and unwillingness to engage with the forum community that's caused the moderation staff on here to be such a destructive and negative presence.

Reading through the leaked modcave stuff reminded me that one moderator actually opposed banning opebo, he was just out of town the week we voted.

Sorry to ruin your villainous image of him but that moderator was Torie

Pretty sure the last thing that is needed is more mods. You have enough as it is. Not only have you had a new mod literally self-destruct this week but your entire mod board was leaked to the public. Focus should be placed on cleaning up your department first.

If the 2016 Board needs another mod, throw Dallasfan or Joe or Hash or someone on it.

of the previous applicants i think crabcake, türkisblau and cathcon are the best choices. preferably crabcake, as the mod team in its current state is significantly to the right of the forum as a whole

Finally, a voice of reason. Granted, I don't know what level of work the (active) current moderators can reasonably expect to handle, but the moderator:post ratio is already high compared to any other forum I am familiar with.

Yeah, it seems reasonable. They do have experience in the job, something none of the would-be moderators got.

Also this site's moderators aren't really site-wide moderators. They tend to stick to policing the forums they frequent, as opposed to the site as a whole like most forums I've seen. It's not really a fair comparison.

I'll go ahead and Lincoln Chafee my name into the ring in case you're looking for an outside-the-box choice. You probably don't know me, but I've actually been here for like four years. I'm basically a long-time lurker but infrequent poster. I've always tried to make a point of speaking truth to nonsense, and I have a lot of experience fighting trolls across the internet. I'm online frequently, and I basically never sleep, so I could respond quickly to trouble on my board any time of the day. I would be just and reasonable in my moderating, but would smite the real trolls with righteous fury. I am the moderator you deserve.

That is not quite right. I was absent and had opposed it prior to being absent, and it was really a Dave intervention, that brought about a basic consensus sans myself because of a concern that opebo's antics were threatening his business model. But unlike you, I accept the ban decisions that are made in good faith, even if I oppose them. One does not always get one's way, and you win some, and lose some. I opposed the CCSF banning too, for that matter, although I considered it a difficult and close case. Such is life.

I wonder how many really still want to be a Mod after the recent unpleasantness? It hasn't been fun - at all.

lol, so Joe is not a Democrat but AndrewCT is a Republican?  anyway, why are you randomly limiting this to US politics?   The relevant question is how moderators treat posters according to the ideologies of those posters.  Left-wing posts are treated more harshly than right-wing posts by no moderator (not even Ernest I don't think) while compare the numerous posts on here calling for death to capitalists that no one has any interest to infract, to your wars against CCSF or jmfsct.  Longtime right-wingers on this site are on average slightly better at tolerating the presence of views that they strongly disagree with; given that we are a minority here, we have to be.

Mods seems to be mostly moderately centre-right. I agree right wingers are generally judged harder than True Leftists, but I think it is mostly because True Leftists are not being taken entirely serious. Some defenders of Left Liberalism are allowed to be nastier than people with other ideologies because they have the standard ideology.

Post by: JA on January 29, 2017, 04:42:32 AM
I'd like to be considered for any current or future moderator openings. I think I'd make a good moderator for the following reasons...

• I'm on Atlas way too much and often overnight (EST), which seems to be a low point for most moderators. So I'd essentially be filling a gap.
• I don't hide my political affiliation, but I would be fair to every poster, regardless of their politics.
• Following the rules by the books (with some reasonable flexibility) is how I conduct any role I fill.
• I don't think I've had any reported posts of the nearly 1,000 I've made so far. People may dislike my views, but they can't say I violate any rules.

Post by: Pericles on January 31, 2017, 11:49:55 PM
I would like to register to be a mod. I am active on this site when the other mods are sleeping, so I can quickly crack down on spammers. I do my best to be kind to others, I have never had a post reported, and I respect people of all political views. I am in a different time zone from the mods so I can, if made a mod, quickly ban and delete the spammers.

I would be an excellent moderator since I'm active here so much (45 posts per day and only rising) and often make sure to look through all the threads. Also, I always have an instinct for knowing when something violates the rules and when it doesn't. I am also often awake between 11 PM and 3 AM. My preference is for the econ board, since I have an econ major and read many econ blogs regularly. I have no tolerance for spammers or death threats. I am also an R-MI, like Cathcon, who was also made a mod via applying here. I desire for this forum to be great.

Post by: Kingpoleon on February 15, 2017, 04:36:23 PM
I wish to be considered. I have served well during my time here. I can be fair and impartial. My main flaw, in terms of moderating, is that I understand both sides of an argument/discussion/point and be a bit overly compassionate in terms of responses to things. I would intend to moderate with a sturdy hand, however. My guiding philosophy would probably be similar to Torie's - minimal intervention to all non-trolls/obvious bad post(ers/s). Finally, I believe I can react appropriately to situations. I appreciate any consideration I receive.

Thanks,
Kingpoleon

I, firstly, understand that this thread doesn't matter any more.

I also understand that there's no chance of me being considered because of my age, relative newbieness to the forum, and anti-mod sentiment. However, I am incredibly active, bring fresh ideas, and don't put up with bullsh**t. I also happen to think I am more mature than many adult members. For those reasons, I hope you put my name into consideration for any mod post that may come up soon.

If someone offered me either of the newly open Moderator posts, I'd happily take it...especially Elections What-Ifs...as that's a rather underserved board as it is in terms of actually needing moderating.
