Full Name:
Unfortunately undisclosed due to the highly controversial nature of what I do.
Age:
Upper management know I'm old enough. ;-)
Why am I applying:
I have been contributing heavily over the last few years.
Regarding this section; when the 2 primary release threads opened, I immediately jumped in and started imparting my knowledge and support.
Obviously without a section going to indepth would only clutter the 2 threads and Community members would be immediately confused.
I have far more knowledge regarding this section than anyone else, I've also already been in Moderator positions.
Contributions:
Anyone that has taken a moment to search, would be hard pressed to not find my name readily enough.
Other projects that I've contributed to in the past:
Dragona
WarZ
Iris 1.8
Aion
Jade Dynasty
7DaysToDie
SWGEmu
EverQuest Emu
EverQuest 2 Emu
Heroes of Thessalonica
WoW
Ultima Online
Lineage
Lost Chaos

A good forum moderator needs to be fair and needs to be able to stand an argument without becoming heated. They need to have a good amount of common sense and they need to be able to handle having harsh words tossed at them. They cannot go easy on any one member and they must treat all members fairly. They need to understand their position and not take advantage of it or abuse their powers. Another good quality would be consideration. Good mods need to be considerate.
On that note, some have felt I was too harsh in the WarZ section by enforcing rules while not actually arguing, rules were voted on and they were merely enforced. Keep in mind 95% of the time infractions were "warned" about being handed out, but I generally gave the member an opportunity to rectify their befavior without being as harsh as people believed I was acting. Again, a moderator cannot play favorites and there are rules by which they base decisions. Some people may not like the rules or even bother to read the rules, this is no excuse for having broken the rules themselves. Keep in mind that as a member you have the opportunity to PM a moderator at any time and request additional information as to how you broke a rule, how to avoid breaking rules (alas, this is easily rectified by following the rules), you may request modifications to the rules (as long as everyone, including upper management agree with the said rule modification(s)), section layout or functionality modification requests, etc. A section does not have to be set in stone, if modifying the section or its rules benefit the Community and are accepted by all (including upper management), there should be no reason why a section cannot be functional while being nice looking during your stay.
You moderator isn't here to nit pick every little detail. They are here to keep the section clean, free of arguments, to format information so that it is easily found and useful to the members of the section.
They are here to help you all enjoy your stay.

Thank you, for your time and patience while you consider my application.

I know I already mentioned this, just going to post it again for reference (not that I doubt you recall it), thanks bro.
I would like to keep my Developer Rank and Color. Considering I wont only be Moderating (if selected), but also helping throughout the Development life cycle.
Attached are Rules for review (prior to even having the section / getting accepted), hopefully they are reasonable as well.

Attached are Rules for review (prior to even having the section / getting accepted), hopefully they are reasonable as well.
Please note that these are subject to change without prior notice.
You are responsible to keep yourself updated regarding these rules and any rules found in the sub-sections.
Unless you want to end up being infraction banned (3 infractions / sometimes 4 depending on rank can cause an infraction ban).
Please also note that the RaGEZONE forum rules still applies in this section, you'll find those here: Forum Rules - RaGEZONE forums
1. Do NOT advertise in this section. There's a advertisement section used for that, and all post related to this subject should and must be placed there. You should also know that it's prohibited advertising your server in your signature. You could however, link to the advertisement thread. Advertisement section: Private Servers - MMO Zone - RaGEZONE forums
2. Do not double post. If you have any valid/additional information to add, please feel free to use the edit function and include the information you left out.
3. Do not necro-post, or revive old threads. If you have questions regarding a old subject, use the help section and link back to the thread(s) your question is related to. Any post posted after 4 weeks from the last reply will be considered necro-posting.
4. Constructive criticism is fully allowed, but to a certain extent. Flame wars, insults and troll posts will not be tolerated and will result in immediate infraction.
5. Any showcase threads and/or development threads can be posted in the development section. Please however, use the following tags: [Development] / [Showcase]. A development thread is something shared to the community, which in the end of the development process/phase will be released.

6. Refrain from posting warez/cracks/bots/hacks. This is prohibited.
7. This is an English speaking and posting forum; all communication in public on this board should be written in English. If you are unable to speak English, use a translator and provide the translated text in your post.

9. Please also refrain from going off topic to the original thread. Going off topic and spamming will be considered as a rule violation.
10. Releases without active links will be closed, so keep your download links working. Also, make sure you have some information regarding the product you're releasing, and if possible screenshots etc.

12. No racism, abusive comments, flame, troll.
13. Any sort of "thank you" / "non-contributional" posts are not allowed. Use the Like system, either click the thumbs up or thumbs down under a post. Do Not explain why you did so.

Exclusive tip, to make your stay here A LOT easier:
The search function is your best friend throughout your stay at the Cryptic (STO / NWO) section.
Creating a help thread asking questions that have already been answered many times before is only a waste of time.
Doing a proper search however, only takes you a minute or two. As a result of that, you won't have to wait several hours before getting your question answered.
Lastly, please use common sense while posting on this forum.
I won't be listing out every obvious rule violation in this thread, so think before you act.
-------------
If you have any further questions or feel that a moderator needs to be contacted, feel free to contact a Moderator from this section using the private message function available for you.
-------------
Thanks for staying up to date on the section rules.
It'll be a lot easier and a lot more fun if you managed to follow them as well. In fact, you have to.
