Lol, only one so far, or only one, total?

And congrats MS.


Thanks!

There's some paperwork to be done before a moderator is all set. Chances are the second candidate isn't done with them just yet. happy
Oh right, that's cool. It's awesome seeing new mods!

I know you'll do a great job, as from what i've seen of you, you're a great person! peace

I don't understand what the point is on doing the proof of age stuff. All it is is a moderating position on a forum, it's not like you're submitting a resume to work for the company. I've modded on the 2 biggest wrestling boards on the net, absolutely gigantic and they never asked for proof of age because there's nothing legal about selecting someone to watch over a section.

Congrats to MariaSunderland, by the way.

That's true... Some people tend to get scared of moderators for some reason. Like "Oh my god, if I say the wrong thing I'm gonna get banned.. I think it's best if I don't reply at all.", and when the mod in question logs out, "That mod is sooo boring, only cares about following the rules. I hate that kinda mod".

Hopefully, that won't happen to Jess.

I'm not too worried about that, to tell you the truth. If it happens, it happens, s'all. happy I've been a mod and admin in other forums before, and I've seen quite a lot, but it also helped toughen me up a little bit wink

It takes a lot to get to me lol

Because Midway is a corporation - a corporation that could be sued if one of the moderators violated the Privacy Policy and gave out IP/e-mail/rl information on any of the users here. For that reason, a moderator has to sign a contract stating basically that if they do anything malicious, they are legally responsible for the consequences.

A minor (someone under age 18) cannot legally be held to the terms of a contract. Therefore, all moderators here must be over age 18.

I believe Dv8's the one who uploads renders on the main site, hence why he has additional information.

I don't think I'll get this type of info ever lol
