VGI substitute moderator program

[phsycical(A)]

Hello, I'm starting a new program. It's essentially what I've been doing for a while, only now it's more "official".

Here is how it works.

1. There will be a list of approved "substitute moderators".

2. Any co owner may make any approved substitute moderators a moderator only while they are watching. That means if you are an owner, you can make someone on the substitute moderator list a moderator while you're watching, then as soon as you can no longer watch (IE you have to go to sleep), you de-mod them.

3. If a substitute moderator abuses power/break rules, the person who made them a moderator will be held responsible. If you don't like this, don't mod anyone.

4. If a substitute does well, they may be made full time mods.

If you are interested in becoming a moderator on the VGI chat, fill out this application, and send your application in a PM over the forums to me. You may PM me here. Don't apply in this thread.
Read the whole application, or don't apply

Hello, below there are a few questions that you may fill out. Filling out the questions are optional, but whether or not you do will greatly effect your chances of becoming a moderator.

If you choose to apply, and your application is successful, you will be put onto a que, and may or may not be selected for moderatorship the next time this chat is in need of moderators.

Example of a good application :

To phsycical and to whomever it may concern: you may know me as Derrick Shmoe, and I'm eighteen years old. I have been participating in video-game-info forums and chat for numerous months. I pleased to be able to report that on no account have I been, banned, or kicked.

I am of the belief that I would serve as a good moderator, and be a valuable asset to this site, this is attributed to some of the following factors. 1. I tend to visit video game info during 3:00 AM, to 11:00 AM, Eastern Standard Time. This is important seeing as that there tend to be far fewer moderators around this time, I frequently find there are no other moderators online at all. If I were a moderator, the rules of the chat would be enforced even during these "off-times" when the majority of VGI's moderation staff is asleep. 2. While I do generally am opposed to needless boasting, I do feel it's important to point out that I have the ability to speak Spanish and Turkish; which are some of the most commonly used languages besides English. This would allow me to inform users who are unable to speak English to use the translator, or leave in a more lucid fashion than the current moderation staff.
3. Perhaps you could call me "old fashion", but I still take the rules seriously, I believe I would be able to enforce them well, and keep the chat an enjoyable place for everyone, as any moderator should.

Now, as to why I personally want to be a moderator. While I generally try to be nice, I won't lie, people who break rules anger me. What frustrates me more is the frequency that these people tend to do so while the other moderators are offline. My warnings, while helpful, are often ineffective to these users. I feel sometimes it is necessary to put my foot down, and prevent these users from further adversely effecting the enjoyment of other users of the chat. I think being a moderator would help me keep the chat a jovial place for not only me, but the other chatters to. That is why I would be happy to become a moderator here sometime in the future, thank you, and lets help to keep this chat jovial for everyone.
