    Hello everyone, I may be new to forums but most of you know me on war. I seriously am wondering if I'll have a shot at moderator and no, I don't mean right away, because I know I'll have to be more active on TS and forums, but until then I need to plan ahead:
    How should I act differently?
    Should I, if no moderator is on, act out against mc-war violations?

    Please respond, I need feedback and if this wasn't clear, just tell me what I NEED to work on in order to help the mc-war community.
    Thanks
    -Sly

    EDIT: If I do something un-"modworthy", please let me know

    First, welcome to the forums!

    Second, a 300+ (correct me if I'm wrong) post count is reccomended to apply for mod. You don't always have to have this unless your posts are always on topic and very helpful.

    Third, always try to be helpful. Just because a mod isn't online doesn't mean you can't step in and tell a player who's breaking the rules to stop.

    There are many other guides and threads explaining what the admins are looking for when they hire mods, so be sure to check those out! :smile:

    You should act maturely and helpfully. If someone is breaking a rule on mc-war and no mod is online, you should: tell the player to stop, get a mod on the server, and/or report the player is necessary. Also, read this if you haven't already.

    Being a moderator is down to your natural mindset, if you push yourself into being something your not, it'll stick out like a sore thumb to the higher ups.

    Not everyone can be staff I hope you acknowledge. Don't try too hard, just relax, and if you're the right person, then the result will correspond. :smile:

    No. You need to post a bit more on the forums and get to know the active forum users. Most players say you need 300+ posts, however that really isn't the case. Just be active and post quality, helpful posts. Your grammar seems alright so that's a plus. Try to come on TS and talk to the community more. Finally, be active on War and report any rule breakers.

    Good luck!

    As Robbie said, this role isn't for everyone in the community.
    These are a few things that you'll have to deal with, so you can see if it would suit you or not:

    - Deal with rule breakers
    - Calm down people in chat
    - Keep up work hours on Teamspeak and In-game
    - Post helpful comments on the forums everyday

    If there is something there that you really wouldn't want to do, then I wouldn't recommend applying.

    Get more posts on the forums, (300 recommended) as well as going on Teamspeak, as I have never seen you on but this could be due to timezones.

    Thanks for the tip!

    Thanks, and I'll be sure to read it

    I 100% agree. I'm not driven to the title of mod, persay, I'm just driven to help out the community as much as possible, and moderator status will help me greatly achieve the goal

    Thanks. I'm VERY active on war, and since I just started forums I will post ALOT more. I will try to fix my computer audio to be able to TS
    Tell me about it XD

    I am able to do all of these things. I'm on everyday and my timezone is EST. time (Ontario, Canada) It is 12:30PM as I'm posting. I will continue to work for the requirements as well as improve myself in order to achieve

    Best if you don't apply for moderator. They're just Chap's slaves.

    Hello. This is not the place to apply more mod. You also have to be on ts all the time, and you have to have over 250 messages If I'm right, and you only have 8... If you would really like to apply go here https://www.brawl.com/forums/68/
    Good day. Good luck.

    He's not applying yet, he's just asking for feedback.

    As a former staff member, I can tell you that aiming for staff isn't easy. You have to deal with many things in ts3, in-game and the forums, most of the time they are very tedious. There's a lot of different factors that come into play as a moderator (such as work/play hours, rule breaker reports, etc.) but if you're an all around active and helpful player you will have no problem adapting as a staff member.

    My personal tip to you is to be patient; get your ts3 and forums activity up, they're the fields that matter the most.

    I was wondering the same thing. Thanks to everyone that commented this was very helpful.

    I appreciate all the mods and their service to the community.

    @YxTimxY is still my favorite Mod, he handles the role well and maintains the law.

    Thanks Mods!

    I would do my research Striker_Sly, the turnover for mods is high, many don't last long, and there are a lot of unglamorous parts to the job.

    It's not all unicorns and rainbows.
