Proud member of "the most paranoid group of people in the community"
I would like to be one of the first to apply. With the convienience of a smartphone, im always on the website. Aside from that, I have years of experience in web development. In the course of those years, I've moderated quite a few sites, and administrated even more. Most of my modding expertise comes from using IPB, so the moderation functions provided by this site is easy for me to use.
Why should I be supported? Well, ifyou want someone that will keep the forums in order while the admins are gone, im that guy!
Mature, experienced and level headed moderator/admin and developer for a number of years in FL.
Very active in game, admins could check my ISP logins, could add m,ore back to community.
Virtually OCD when it comes to fairness.
Impartial to the nth degree, irrespective of who you may be (hopefully).
Sanction free and manage to avoid the destructive raging that sometimes clogs up the channels.
Need an active sweep and monitoring of the boards? Then you could do worse.
I have done many wrong and right things alike, but I still am around on the forums more or less all day. I try my best to be fair for both sides of the matter and try to remain as neutral as possible.
I have had some experience in forum moderation on a technical level (Not an Invision board, tho) and I have been a part of the community for years, knowing which places on the forum cause the most issues.
I have enough patience to explain things to stubborn people and I am not afraid to take action if it means making the forum a batter place for newcommers.
That and I am fed up seeing newbies post valid questions and get trolled.

I've been around here just over 1.5 years. I know my way around the forums as well as anyone else here, I guess. Unless there is some hidden section that contains all the mysteries of the universe. I haven't been there yet, then.
I'm on the forum pretty much every minute of my being-at-home-ness. I check every section regularly already, and like Spazzy, I dislike trolling. At least text-based trolling. Real-life trolling is pretty cool. But here it isn't.
Sadly, I don't have any previous experience with moderating forums or other boards, except for (if it counts) a handful of Facebook groups. Yay.
Anyhow, I just want this place to be a bit better, less trolly, and - most of all - more newbie friendly. It's a pity to see so few newcomers here.
More or less important edit: Sent you guys an application PM some time ago. In case I forgot something here, there might be more app-stuff in there.
I've had a long time to see the ebb and flow of this community and the RP of the FL universe.
I haven't really played on the server for years and so have no conflict of interests with any players or factions...including the Admins and Moderators.
I read the forums everyday.
I like helping others, supporting nice people, and skillfully handling negativity and drama.
38yo. Still married after 19 years. Occupation: Nurse Location: Philadelphia, PA
Have actively been involved in RP for about 30 years. Including PnP's, MUD's, and MMORPG's.
Spent my formative posting years in the 80s & 90s learning how not to be a douche bag on alt.magick
Heya
I've been around for 2.5-3 years now..i know a bit about Invision, and am pretty patient nowadays, in contrast to when I first started. I'm (usually) level-headed and am very unbiased (at least I sure I am, I'm sure others have different opinions.) I also use a smartphone, and get on the forums very regularly. While I can lose my temper, it takes alot to manage to do that.
I have been damn easy trollbait since day one, so I extremely dislike trolling, like Spazzy and Toaster up there. A good chunk of people know I'm pretty fair and willing to help out to the greatest extent I can in my current situation.
And most people I know complain how much of a forumlancer I am, so I know this site almost as good as the back of my hand.
I have been contemplating where I want to get with this game for some time now, and I have decided it is time to put my name forward to become a Moderator. My ultimate goal in the game is to become a part of the administrator team, but as I would like to understand all aspects of how the game works as well as it does, I believe a Moderator would be a perfect first step towards my goal.
After 18 months of being an active member of both the forum and in game, I have the knowledge, and the influence when it is needed to help Disco continue being what it is. I have been part of many different factions and independent groups, as well as assisting players who are new to the game in learning the ins and outs of Role Play and the rules. After being a part of the Angels in the past (And although inactive due to personal reasons) being an Angel again now has given me a valuable in site into a different area of the game, and as it genuinely interests me, I wish to take this further still. Although, I do not have much knowledge in forum moderation, I am a quick and eager learner.
I have also got the experience in 'real life' to know I will be able to cope with any situation I may come across in the forum without being bias toward anyone. I am currently attending a course which has a section in Administration skills, covering all aspects of how to cope and solve problems before they escalate, and then how to diffuse an issue if it reaches that point. Being eldest in a large family, and working in child care has also provided me with a vast amount of skills that are considered helpful on the forums. I have the ability to stop and explain a situation without becoming impatient, and I am able to offer assistance without 'trolling' the question no matter how small it may be.
I have patience in any situation and am very level headed. This, with my ability to be non bias in any given situation, and being easy to talk to are what I believe should be found in a Moderator. The other advantage I can offer is the time zone I am situated in, being in New Zealand I am in the ideal area to be active where many are not.
I am aware my home situation has caused some problems in the past, but I can assure you there is no need for concern, I am aware of the responsibilities this will entail and take this very seriously.
Please let me know if there are any requirements needing to be met, or if you would like any more information.
My name is Nikola and I'm coming from Serbia, not very popular place for many west cultures but I can't hide my true face. I have 23 years but for only 14 days because my birthday is coming.
I used to be a rocker but things have been changed over years and now I'm slave to the new electronic sound, but good thing is that I like to take all new changes that are willing to take me and of course good reasonable decision are always choosing only good.
I like people to learn more about me by talking with me, hate to talk about myself.
Reasons for applying:
Greetings Discovery administrators I would like to post my application here because I think I can handle job such is forum moderator, I have many experiences with server and forum rules, I've runned my own web site with forum for almost a four years in row and basically I know how whole PHP scripts are working.
I'm not power greedy person and I really am doing everything to help this community, that could be seen from the day I joined the angels on Discovery server. Why am I applying? Well simply because I visit forum every day and I'm willing to give my time for the benefit of the community.
About koske on this community:
I've been on Discovery forum and server for almost full three years, actually this year in a few months will be birthday of my forum account. So far I've managed to be in several official factions (BAF|, MM~, =LSF=, Order|, LPI-, IC| and [C] - former official faction), all my interests are been forwarded to =LSF faction from the day I joined, an effort lead me to the leadership position, the same I'm willing to give for my future work if accepted.
So far I managed to get several sanctions on this server on the start of my disco career but nomn of them where on forum because of my good behavior in this great community.
Final word:
I'm always trying to handle any kind of situations that are facing me, so far doing that as faction leader of the =LSF= faction and willing to do same on this community if my application is accepted, however if not I wouldn't change my mind and will stay proud member of Discovery. Things are not changing me, they only are making me stronger.
I'd like to be considered for a spot on the Moderation team.
Admittedly I've no experience with moderating websites or anything like that, but I'd like to think I've been around Discovery long enough to know what's kosher and what isn't.
I also feel that I'm a pretty levelheaded person and that I'd be pretty good at taking both sides of an issue into consideration without any sort of bias to influence my actions, I also think there's more than a few people around here who'd agree with the above statements as well.
I care a lot about Discovery GC, and the people in it. Disco's been my internet home since 2008 and I'd love to give back to it in some way.
Maybe this is kinda flimsy, but I've said my piece and I think it's to the point, Again, I hope I'll be considered.
