Short Answer

1) Have you ever moderated a forum before?
1.a) If so, which one (please provide link), for how long, and are you still there presently?
Yes, many actually. I've modded my own forum, Fatal Pudding, though honestly that forum was more for screwing around than serious discussion. Besides that though, I was an admin over at House of Happyness for a good while, both HoH I and II, for around half a year I'd say, and I was also a mod/admin over at Sephiroth's Lair. The SL's were deleted a while ago, and I currently don't have links to HoH, though the site is still up. Truthfully, these were all mostly petty forums with a few active members, but I think I did a good job.

2) What are your reasons for wanting to join the EoFF Forums Staff?
I've been a member of this forum for over 2 years, and I have witnessed a great deal of people come and go. I'd really like to leave a mark here, or some kind of lasting contribution as a token to all the memories here, and I think I could do a good job of upholding the status of the forum.

3) If you were asked to participate in a Staff Orgy, how far would you be willing to go?
How far are you willing to take me? I'm there for the ride.

Long Answer

1) Imagine the users of LOCP decided to invade the forum, registering many accounts and spamming it up. What would your actions be in this situation?
First, I would assure the spam posts are cleaned up or deleted. Then, I would begin to issue severe warnings to the spammers, if the actual spamming is not too severe. If they would continue to do so, I would ban them. After awhile of people registering and spamming, I would begin to instantly ban those who spam continuously in an effort to prevent anymore people from signing up, thus demotivating them. Also, I would issue a notice to the headmaster/admin of the site to keep his/her community in order.

2) Describe the perfect way to catch Raistlin slipping up so he can be banned.
Instead of getting him forum banned, I have a better idea. I shall fly down to his trailer park in Florida and wait outside at night. Once he leaves for bingo night, I shall make a very brave and daring entrance using a key found under the welcome mat. Then, I shall locate his computation device and insert my flash drive containing provocative pictures of Rye and upload them. Finally, I will telephone the local police alerting them of the presence of a 100 year old man living in a trailer park who has child pornography on his computer. Wesley arrives home from another disappointing night of bingo to find five middle aged men in uniform waiting for him at the door. His computer is taken away, and his internet privileges demolished. No computer = no internet = no Raistlin.

3) Detail what you would do to promote the forum in other venues.
If I would happen to come across a community who appear to be gamers, or enjoy the Final Fantasy franchise, I would be sure to recommend EoFF for topical discussion, or just general discussion of gaming. I also would be sure to link to the forum in my signature and profile on other forums, as well as start threads on it.

4) Detail what you would to heighten the enjoyment of the forum for existing members.
I'd try to be a lenient, fair mod who doesn't pass judgment on certain members. A more liberal staff create a better atmosphere, as members are not so afraid of messing up, and thus they generally have a better time. Granted, there is a limit on this, and I'll try to keep within that limit.

Besides that, I would try to bring about more interactive experiences with members, such as more competitions, elections, etc. Although there has been improvement in this area recently, I still feel there is more that can be done to accommodate newer members as well.

5) Tell why or why not you would be willing to work with the Front Site Staff in bettering the Front Site ( eyesonff.com ).
I would certainly be willing to work with the Front Staff. Though I'm not too sure how helpful I could be, I think maintaining the front page is a key element to the site's success, as many come simply for the news and game information. I know this because that was the original reason I came here, and that eventually led me to the forums. I find writing to be one of my specialties, so perhaps I could type up information for the front or organize it into cohesive parts.

Subjective Section

What makes you so special?
I'm covered in goo. That, and I'm not your typical 16 year old. Most kids my age aren't concerned with half of the things I am. I write, philosophize, question our ultimate existence, and analyze things people take for granted. Yet I am also a fun, nice, easy-going person who simply wants things to be peaceful. I think the fact that I can balance these two aspects out in my life gives me a certain distinction that is uncommon for my age, and hopefully an advantage in my life.

I just want the powers-that-be to know that if I'm elected I will act on my personal vendetta against character pronunciation threads. They're ridiculous. It's possible the member base could band together and rise up against my holy war, but I don't think they're smart enough.

Short Answer

1) Have you ever moderated a forum before? Yes
1.a) If so, which one (please provide link), for how long, and are you still there presently?

Vvardenfell.com (A Morrowind forum)
http://www.vvardenfell.com/
About nine months
No, it's long dead.

And I was offered a place at Final Fantasy Republic on a few occasions, but always declined. (I think.)

2) What are your reasons for wanting to join the EoFF Forums Staff?
It would be epic lulz and I could cause the most ghetto drama.

3) If you were asked to participate in a Staff Orgy, how far would you be willing to go?
I would kidnap, torture, and murder you all. None of this would involve any kind of sexual under or overtones, contact, intercourse, or anything else of the like. I must purge the world of your sick perversions.

Long Answer

1) Imagine the users of LOCP decided to invade the forum, registering many accounts and spamming it up. What would your actions be in this situation?
My first reaction would be "Who the hell is LOCP?" Then I would Google, and discover; "Launcher Operation Control Panel". That sounds bad, so I'd hide behind someone who knows more about the inner workings of the intarwebs tube, such as Stabvark, or Spaceman Ryukishi.

2) Describe the perfect way to catch Raistlin slipping up so he can be banned.
Restore Cloud No.9 to active posting status. Start a thread re: econimics. Allow to simmer for 1 to 3 days.

3) Detail what you would do to promote the forum in other venues.
I'd get EoFF tattooed on my pecs, and I'd graffiti my town up.

4) Detail what you would to heighten the enjoyment of the forum for existing members.
Nothing whatsoever. They deserve to suffer, just like you do.

5) Tell why or why not you would be willing to work with the Front Site Staff in bettering the Front Site ( eyesonff.com ).
I would not be willing to work there because nobody uses it, ever.

Aww, some of them aren't so bad. Like the Cait Sith one. The Ellone pronounciation thread was a little rediculous, though

I hate those threads! Even if I don't venture into the sections where they're residing, an therefore I don't see them, just knowing they exist bothers me.

Forum Name: Hambone

RFN: Jonathan

Age: 13. I'm young, but don't let that discourage you. I'm very serious.

Years gaming experience: 10. I was three when I started. I wasn't very good, but I knew how to play.

Years of Final Fantasy Experience: 8. It started with FFVII

Favorite FF: Hmm...10

I haven't moderated a forum but I know it takes a person serious enough to take the job and I feel I am one of those people.

Reasons for wanting to join the staff: I'm a very controlled person and I would feel more noticed on here if I were a CK and I also think that I could do a fine job of bringing order around here.

Staff Orgy: No.

LOCP Scenario: I'd warn several of them, and if they continued, they would surely be banned. Everybody deserves at least one chance, eh?

Getting Raistlin banned: Follow his every action.

Promoting EoFF: Running around naked holding a banner that says "Join EoFF!!!!!!"

Adding enjoyment for existing members: What is...enjoyment???

Why I would like to work on the staff: EoFF has a lot of cool features, people, and info. It would be an honor to help expand our enjoyment by adding to the features.

Why I'm so special: I'm not like most kids my age. I'm young, but that's not to say I wouldn't enjoy the company of Bach's and Handel's finest works on CD. I'm controlled when needed, and I push myself away from conforming.
