    Hey guys!!! CaptainCheesy here. I just wanted to ask everyone their opinion on me being a Moderator on ECC (when I get [Mayor] of course). I've pondered the question myself, and kind of thought I would be terrible. Let me know what you guys think with the Poll!!! :D

    You would have to be a Mayor+ to apply for Moderator.

    Well, ECC gas over 50 Rules, and to memorize them all is a big feat for me. Not only that, but I've been quite a jerk to some ECC staff recently...

    Not only all that, I think other people's opinions could help me make the right choice.

    There isn't a right choice. If you want to, really want to, get mayor and toss an app in when Staff Apps open. In the end, the only opinions that matter are the ones you won't get here, and those are that of the current staff.

    I don't think a correct term would be "toss".
    Don't try to memorize them. I would suggest flipping through the ban appeals/complaints section, it may help you pick up rules. Of course you will have to memorize them at some point but I would first suggest getting familiar with the more common ones.
    You can always use edit on your post to add something.
    As nicit said, you probably won't find the winning opinion here. The player's opinions are all biased and based on popularity. The majority of the time they +1 the people they are familiar with and are popular, much like student council elections. This is why the decisions aren't the players, its very biased and most popular people don't make good staff members.
    If you want staff member's opinions than you won't get them. Wait for another staff choice and see who gets picked. Ask a friend what they think the users picked have that you don't and evaluate yourself. If staff doesn't flow naturally for you and being a leader involves memorizing 50 rules I really think you wouldn't like it in the end. I want staff that are serious but have fun with their job and enjoy it. Nobody wants a grumpy old teacher that is in it for the title or because its a popular rank.

    I would suggest checking out this thread: http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/how-to-know-if-youre-right-for-staff.45125/

    You need to be mayor first, then you can apply.

    We've established this already knears2000. :/

    Honestly, you don't always need to be right. 2nd, I was just thinking of writing down a whole bunch of rules ina note book, for quick reference.

    There's only two problems with you being a mod
    A. I would say looking at the mods now at least 90% of them are president+
    B. You're still a resident.
    However you are a 9 month veteran which is promising which may get you some points,but still sour not quite there, but keep up the hard work

    Just what AgentHare said in this quote. If you really have to ask that means that you are not either
    A.) Not confident in yourself.
    B.) You feel you are not ready but want to see what other people think of you.

    But still i will tell you this. Good Luck!

    Well, he's kinda right. As I've tried to explain, I do not know if being a Mod is right. Not only that, but Mod Blue looks hideous on my Name... Now, if it was like this: CaptainCheesy, I wouldn't have a problem with it.


    My Biggest Problems with becoming a Mod:
    + LOTS of memorization (so I've been told)
    + Getting [Mayor] (thank you knears2000, and TheDarkFlame11, for your obvious statements)
    (other than all that, I think I'm ready to be a Mod. Watch me in Chat sometimes. When I have nothing better to do, I'll watch Chat, and see if anyone needs help.) Thanks you guys for your opinions!!! :)

    Shoutouts:
    + nicit6 (you seem to help me everywhere [coincidence??])
