    Sup Mods,

    What does a day in your life look like? I think it would help potential applicants to understand what you do and don't do.

    Your pal,

    Evil

    It's kind of obvious what a mod does. If you mean an admin, that's a different story.

    Day in the life of me:
    Wake up
    Check forums on iPad, (if needed lock necessary threads and such)
    Get out of bed and walk to computer
    Open TS
    Open MineCraft
    Get spammed on TS
    Kicks/mutes/bans said player
    Play war
    Kicks OOMers and rule breakers
    Everything else is normal from there, but getting spammed on TS happens every 20 minutes or so, gets kinda annoying.

    It's tedious and repetitive, especially on servers like war, warz , party, etc. The only good part of brawl is the forums imo.

    Wake up.
    Check forums on smartphone.
    Breakfast. (Check forums while eating)
    School. (Check forums during breaks)
    Lunch.
    Check forums on PC.
    Play on Brawl (Check forums every 10 minutes)
    Dinner.
    Check forums on PC.
    Go to bed.
    Check forums on smartphone.
    Sleep.

    As you can see, I'm mainly capable of moderating the forums :wink:

    Jokes aside, I really check the forums a lot because you can do that from anywhere with your phone, but of course I also play and moderate on Brawl and make sure everything on TS3 is alright.

    Yeah, not really. People in the community think they do a lot of different things and I think a lot of them are assumptions. You know what happens when you make an assumption right?

    Thanks for all you do Mods.

    I think you helped provide a lot of clarity into the work you do.

    My guess is that the repetitive nature of the work leads to burnout.

    I meant only the part about their moderating job, not their personal life. When I mean kind of obvious, they're normal people like the rest of us: eat breakfast, go to school, play video games, etc.
