to be completely honest after what you just said in the fetish thread i don't feel comfortable with you having any power of authority over minors

I dont think that should be taken against him at all, what people like in that sense is more personal, and I doubt it would make a sway in his judgment if he was a mod. I mean, I am a stylist who likes cutting hair and enjoys the feeling of brushing the hair of people I like. Does that make me a bad stylist? Not at all, what happens in my privacy and on my work are two different things.
I dont think he would be affected in his judgement.
i can't actually express enough how uncomfortable with it i am like physically sick feeling uncomfortable
you'll be a mod and you'll bloody well like it!

Its fine, there's no need to defend me. GreenZone is fine to have his opinion. Although I will reiterate just to ensure clarification that what was posted only applies to drawings. If that doesn't make you any more comfortable, there's not much I can say.
On topic to the thread, I think whoever is chosen for the moderation position should be active in the forums. I feel like constantly reading threads and being around to confront issues is most important.

I don't trust Piche as far as I could throw him to get a competent mod team.
Not even worried about it anymore.

If you’re going to have publicly posted art depicting sexually active cartoon children, maybe being a mod on a site without an age restriction isn’t the best place for you.
This is something we do take into consideration when bringing on staff. Being banned itself is not a reason to deny someone being a mod but it can be. People get suspended for different reasons, and sometimes people make mistakes. We try to take into account the nature of why action was taken, and if the person was up front and just about it and learned from it. Even the best people get can roiled up in stupid drama and take things too far. It's definitely not the best look when applying for a mod position, mind you, but it happens.
People make mistakes. Sometimes it's the "why" a person made a mistake more than that they did.

I would like to express interest in the possibility of a temporary position in order to assist in upkeeping the forum rules as a neutral, non political, friendly party.
I have been working to provide healthy and engaging content for online gaming communities in the past, actively engaging posts with a clear, neutral tone.
An example of this would be my contributions to Snail Games, an industry leader abroad in online gaming.
An example of a few of my helpful threads are listed below:
Age of Wushu • ✪Harper's Guide to Tech Issues✪ (Read for common errors/fix)
Age of Wushu • PROPS TO HARPER
Age of Wushu • Game cant start after the "Snail Protect Game" appeared
Age of Wushu • Exe file error and copy fail error
Age of Wushu • Retired [Harper leaving forums]
I had over 4,000 forum posts before a forum wipe had occurred on that forum alone.
I currently work active duty in the US Navy, and have recently returned from deployment. If there was any interest or desire to gather more hands to resolve basic tickets, I am more than happy to lend a hand.
I am in HST. I cover a medium between the US and abroad timezones.
I have found myself after deployment with some considerable free time after hours, and have always enjoyed this kind of work. It is often thankless, but the real passion for me is to have the satisfaction of a job well done.
I hope to use this post to see if it garners any interest.
Thank you for reading.

@Dragoneer please reference how this individual is experienced maybe a trial is in order
that can change though i have weeks where i may finish before noon or just get told there's nothing for us to do there might be other times where i'm doing 18 hours a day Military is not predictable and in periods of a lot of downtime they tend to come up with continuous training or even Re-training unless you are still in your decompression period after deployment

Why are you always so damn negative? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you make a post where you’re not incredibly condescending and narcissistic. He knows his schedule more than you do.

Thank you for responding. I hope you'll look over the rest of the thread as well as this has actually been a rather productive discussion.
The way I personally see it, while good people can get banned for "mistakes", they still made enough mistakes to get them banned. Banning is not a small punishment. There are warnings and infractions first before a ban occurs. If a person can get so riled up by forum drama that they ignore repeated signs to stop... maybe this job where most of the day is filled with forum drama ain't for them.
Like, if the ban occurred because a mod was being salty or there was a misunderstanding, fine. Otherwise, I'd still be more comfortable with someone who has never taken things so far.
As for them learning from it, that is exactly why I proposed the 1 year window. Give them time to really prove they've shaped up and learned something rather than just paying lip service to good behaviour.
Ginza you're in no position to be commenting on anything about military life so shut up
what you said genuinely fucking pissed me off cause we don't follow a schedule because that's not how the job works its often done on the fly you can be told you'll have an 18 hour day doing something then turning up and told you're only doing 6 hours because an asset was learnt out or some one qualified in something specific is sick or what ever else
the military is not McDonald you do not have set in stone "rosters" you have a training schedule but that's a few days out of the entire month

My point wasn’t that you were wrong, but that he knows his schedule more than you do. Jesus Christ man, calm your ass down.
If something that someone random on the internet says, pisses you off this much, maybe it’s time to step back and turn the computer off.
the military is the same everywhere Ginza for fuck sake do you know what a decompression period is? do you know what continuous training is? do you know what down time is? do you know what re-training is? do you know what battle a ready phase is? do you know what a stand down period is?
no you don't so don't call me negative i'm talking to a fellow service members not you

I understand completely your point over scheduling.
On deployment -- I have faced the constant change of hours, and understand personally how hectic and unexpected that can be.
However in my current duty station aside from deployment, my days have set hours. I have weekends off as well. My day does not deviate from those hours due to the personal preference of my command, and the nature of work that I do.
If you would like to know more, feel free to message me directly. let's keep the thread back on track for now. =3
Speaking @ OP. I personally agree that certain bans should keep you away from the position.
However, I believe I have an idea if the team found somebody who was good natured and qualified for the position that had possible drama or a small infraction in the past.
It could be possible to make a separate account for forum moderation.
This keeps the position neutral. As it would keep the identity of the potential moderator anonymous. Which could be helpful if somebody had mixed reviews.

Again, this is why I propose the 1 year time frame, to show that they've moved on from the infraction.
While I like the anonymous mod account idea for keeping the mods from getting harangued while they're just chilling on the forums or from people getting salty about who was chosen and who wasn't, that doesn't quite negate my original point. Just making someone with a ban under their belt anonymous does not wipe clean their history. All of my concerns about them would still stand, I just wouldn't know to be concerned. Make sense?
Perhaps a compromise would be a probationary period if we really must hire someone with a recent history of bans. Have a senior mod shadow them and check their work to make sure everything is on the up and up. Over time, make these checks fewer and farther between (though I don't want to get rid of them altogether, all mods should have their work checked from time to time to keep things honest and as unbiased as possible imo).
As a reminder, comments on this forum should be made in a polite, civil fashion a with respect to other users -- whether you agree with them or not.

On that note, public relations might be important too. I would prefer someone without a sexualized sona or sexualized public artwork running a forum where minors are allowed. Can’t have your cake and eat it too. Also if someone’s uncomfortable with the words “shut up”, internet probably isn’t the best place for them.
