Moderator Application - Coders Paradise

[Papercup]

Hello RaGEZONE,

About me
My name is Sean Davies and I'm 15 years old. I live in Wales and have been a member of RaGEZONE since November 2009. I like to go out and socialise with my friends and when I'm at home I like to debate on forums and do front-end website development. I've been doing front-end website development for about 2 years whereas I've concentrated really hard to achieve something. I took Computing, Graphics design and ICT Systems in my options and in my recent controlled assessments/exams I had a Distinction in Computing, C in Graphics and B in ICT.

The section I am applying for
I am applying for the Coders Paradise section because I am active in the section and currently have a rather popular thread in the Showcase and Releases section. I like to offer my help with front-end (and some backend) threads within the section. The section is currently only moderated by one Moderator. I feel I can make an extra contribution to the section and as I'm active on the forums (I could attempt to resolve cases as soon as possible). I don't always tend to post in the section, but I am active and constantly viewing new threads and previous ones in the past. I understand that I am a young age but I feel I have a strong level of maturity and have the potential to Moderate the forums in a professional manner.

Infractions
I've never received an infraction on RaGEZONE over the years I have been here. I have only received two warnings for posting in the wrong sections. This occurred a few years ago now though and I've learnt my way around since then.

Experience
I will be honest with you, I'm not completely experienced with the vBulletin system but I feel I would be able to grasp it and get the handle of it quite easily. I am familiar with Xenforo though so I have experience in a Moderation/administration background within forums.

Kind Regards,
Sean

It's popular in comparison to all the other threads in the section. Twice the views and 5x the replies. The reason I'm constantly posting in that thread is also because It's a development (which I am very proud of) and motivated to work on therefore I am constantly sharing updates and new features with the people who are interested in the project.

You have like 7 posts in that section (except for the ones on your own thread)... Why not try helping more people out?

 

[El Jamie]

I'll be honest - I wouldn't vouch for you. After working with you in the past and my experience with your astonoshing lack of knowledge on a lot of things. Remember that time, only a few months ago where you were saying all terrorists were Muslim, none catholic and whatever and then point blank refused and continued making childish remarks about it? I feel that because I've found out you're somewhat hot-headed from experience with you, that it could be held against you on the forums as a moderator and outbursts could prove costly.

Hi El Jamie,

I appreciate your comment but I've never worked with you before and I'm not familiar who you are either. I'm against racism so wouldn't make such remarks either so I didn't really appreciate that comment.

 

[Mike]

I appreciate your comment...

...so I didn't really appreciate that comment.

Wait what

 

[Papercup]

I mean remark sorry. Please can you show a level of maturity and stop making pointless little comments on the thread as its against the rules.

7 posts in the section, a not a very good review from a staff member I trust, coupled with the fact Coder's Paradise is that dead it doesn't need two mods, it's a no from me.

Thanks I understand. Although I've never spoke to Jamie before so I think he has mistaken me for the Sean Davies on a rival forum who is not me.

Agreed

I don't understand... These responds aren't a good way to argue. I think would be cool if have a bit more of Organization, and respect... Sean (Papercup) is a good person, and can't be treated in this way.. If you won't he become to that, say valid arguments, and not make him sad, more than he is now. If you guys say at least what do you feel about, and not what do you think, would be a great way to prevent this situation. He is a good person, and he would be a good moderator. I ever think about what some persons said some years ago to me about ragezone... This aren't like a long time ago. I'm a long user from here (not with this account), and, I really think, the good persons go out from here, and the bads keeps... Just some good persons are really here. I can't mention that, but, I think you, what is reading that, know that.

 

[Papercup]

I wasn't in this for a joke and I really thought I would have had at least one positive comment within my application as all I had was vouches before the rollback. But just for all of your information for me as a person, Jamie has mistaken me with somebody else. I am not racist and don't want people assuming I am.

Thanks,
Sean
