Congrats, whe're glad to have you as a mod!!!
Us mods chose him to become a mod due to his excellence in the forums. Actually, noone expected the supermod status to happen at all, it was all just a big surprise that came out of nowhere really, lol.zwelgbelg said:But how did you manage to achive the title of moderator anyway?
Yes that is very true. I know that there would be people here who dont like me, I accept that since it's part of the mod job. I fix up double/triple posts, warn people about spam, etc... I know that i'm pretty blunt when it comes to my replies towards people, I only do that to get the point forward, im not really a mean person, lol. As long as you are nice to everyone, follow the forum rules and dont ask complete n00bish questions then i'm happy with you I'm happy to answer PMs sent to me from members about TCG questions, which many members do already, but anything in general is fine, as long as it has a point, lol. If someone wants to get a mod onto a specific thread to fix it up, then PM me and i'll be there in no time to sort out any situations.DocRobot_K-176 said:I guess people fear moderators because many activities associated with moderation result in negative interactions (don't double post, please don't reply to dead topics, stop insulting other users, I'm closing your thread... bwahaha, etc). I do not want people to fear me (except for people that are offensive, or intent on causing trouble of course). In fact, I want people to be able to talk to me and freely be able to ask meaningful questions about the forum or anything else that concerns them.

Dont fear me, lol, i'm friendly
Wow... a super mod linking to a thread started by lil' old me... That's almost as big an honor as WPM personally closing a n00bish thread (what was the best card you got recently? For mw, Metagross EX) I started!!! (all in only about 5 minutes after I posted it!!)DocRobot_K-176 said:To be quite honest, I am kind of surprised by the quick changes. I was once a normal user who didn't want to become a moderator or admin whatsoever. My favorite activities on this forum have always been participating in discussions, and I thought that a position like that would interfere with it, which I found out wasn't the case.
I don't necessarily agree with that. Sometimes, it is not entirely clear when a rule is broken. Other times, people break rules without realizing it. Reviving dead topics is a common mistake that is easy for many people to make, especially if the topic in question is still on the front page. That's why I try to be understanding as much as possible, and try to make sure to the hardest of my ability that they understand what they did wrong before further action is necessary.Lionheart said:Mods should be ruthless when rules are broken, and make an example of the person, so other people dont follow.
