I'd agree *somewhat*, terrellsubby. For instance, if I'm in IM with my friends, I may not be so compulsive about capitalization.

However, when I'm representing a company in an official capacity, you can bet I take every care to do things properly, so I don't reflect badly on them - even if it's "just the internet".

It always sort of puzzles me when people PM me to basically ask for a "job" (as in a moderator application), and they don't bother to put their best foot forward and do the best job possible - especially because this is a job that depends entirely upon the written word. You'd think they'd be wanting to show they can communicate well and professionally - but more often than not, they don't, and so I pretty much disregard their entire application, after scanning through it and seeing "i" instead of "I", or "u" instead of "you". If they can't be bothered to put at least some effort into the application, I really can't be bothered to put in at least some effort reading it.

I guess I'm mean that way. tongue


Pwn them n00bs Sheyla.

It's not being mean..just being professional lol. Besides I would want all of my employees to behave in a professional matter as well, just because whatever the employee does reflects the company itself. I honestly don't care sometimes for correct grammar here though lol, I do when I have to or trying to get a point across.

I am not so much hung up on forgetting an apostrophe or two, but when you get little kids on these forums pushing you around for spelling it gets annoying. I just ignore the situation.

Albeit that my work schedule is set to change the prospects of such a position seem heavily tempting to me. As I do meet the said requirements.

I do have a question.

Via the announcement posted:
4) You need to be mature, with a willingness to help out other users and show customer service skills, and put up with all of the documentation/paperwork/recordkeeping for your moderating actions.


In terms of documentation of moderator actions and activies, how is that process documented and kept track of. IE. Word processor programs sent in nightly? Specifics would be great to know before hand.

That is all done on the forum software, and must be done at the same time as any moderator actions.

And actually, what I said is that I usually can tell if people are underage, not how old they are.
