Moderating or being an Admin means you have to stop posting to a degree. You have to be much more careful about starting topics and what you post. Basically, you go from being a poster to an observer. People who tend to volunteer for this type of position, are usually community minded. So it really comes down to what you want out of a forum. Personally, I mod on 2 forums already. I hardly even read them anymore. I like reading DP. Being staff would take all of the fun out of it for me.
They are... which is absolutely scandalous considering their workload (well, the active ones anyway). I'm sure they're only too willing to help out voluntarily but Shawn should really be taking the initiative to offer some sort of reward.
Heck yeah! I would love to be a mod here... all the fun you get to have, all the torture I think the King of Da Wackos could be mod, he's close to Shawn already... I bet he knows where he lives
Neither would I. Its a tough job and seriously I wouldn't have time to edit all referral posts , to give infractions , to ban users
Nope.I don't have that much time to moderate a big forum like DP and I think won't get any chance too
I would, I've been a moderator loads of times and still am of a big movie site I have lots of spare time and that helps a lot.
I would there are too many people getting scammed here on dp and if I could help put a stop to that I would. I hate scammers, and will do what I can do to stop them.. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=762254
Well ring dumb is a new rode, passion overpowers the lust for money, I don’t think everything is about money, money, money.
Nope, how can one say it’s a lot of work if they’ve never done it? Here is an interview with Shawn, it’s not a big deal but it’s kind of silly estimating something of uncertainty to something else, here is the link to thee interview: http://www.theadminzone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10684 It’s time for a New Direction, lol. _______________________________________ [Q] Are the DigitalPoint Forums difficult to manage? [A] Nope, not at all. One person could do it by spending 10 minutes/day in the forum.
And the ones that said yes are the dumb ones? What if you want to contribute and you have a lot of spare time so you can actually be an effective mod.
