[Election Week I] Administrator Vote [OVER]

Aizen wrote:Position wanted: Admin.

Reason why I'm qualified: I've been an administrator on Nightmare from since it's creation, giving me a good amount of experience. I always try to solve problems in the nicest way possible. I listen to the members, I always take there ideas into consideration and if a member is in need I always take my time to ask them what they need. Members don't hesitate to ask for help with a concern since i'm pretty approachable. I'm a very active member since I have a lot of free time. Even when I lost internet I always tried to make an effort to come on here as much as possible. (Went to the library every day to check on you guys. :]) I'm patient and I don't get mad easily, I have never abused my powers on my time here. I post frequently and I love to share RMT's with people. I'm a gym leader, I own clan heroes, and I run a Battle Dojo with Leo. I'm one of the people who recruit the most here, (Ex: Lucario, BuckTheFuffalo, Moo, Masterdude) and I continue to recruit whenever I can. I participate in most tournaments, and i'm a pretty nice guy overall. I always try to be as happy as I can and I always try to befriend new members so they can feel more welcome here.
Thank you for reading. :]

Position Wanted: Admin

Why I'm Qualified:

I've been a member of this site for nearly half a year, and lemme' tell ya', it's been one heck of a half-year. I've made several great friends and become a regular here, both on chat and on the forums. Heck, I've been active on the forums since I first came here, when they were about 75% smaller and all we had that was decent was general discussion :P It was mostly myself, Saf, and Evan that started forum reform many months ago, which gave birth to sections such as anime, games, and many others, which later caused the forum to evolve into what you see today.

I always tried my best to help out, even when I was just a member. I mostly gave feedback on small things such as whether a banner was good, different sets you could use for battling, stuff like that. However I also spoke my mind on bigger issues, such as the previously mentioned forum renovations. So basically, I was a help to the site (and happy to do it) even before I had any sort of staff position. I remember when Saf was made mod a couple weeks after I started visiting this site (he was newer), even though I was also an option to Aizen. Where most members would have had anger, I took it with grace and continued to help the site in any way I could until I earned mod, then admin, and I still do my best to help out today.

How do I aide the site, you ask? Well, firstly, I post in the forum. A lot. And nine times out of ten, they aren't just little snippets. Paragraphs and paragraphs of writing that takes immeasurable effort, sometimes taking an hour plus, which I'm very proud of.

"But, how is that relevant to anything"?

Well, it shows that I care about this site and what I do on it. I don't try to make my sentences flow well or edit them for my own pleasure. I do it for you, the member, because I care. I care about this site. I care about the forums. I care about the chat. I care about the people who inhabit it. Want some examples?

Remember when there was that massive reaction to the "three posts a week" thing? Who was there, almost constantly checking it, answering members' concerns and questions, listening to alternative ideas that the members had, and giving their take time and time again, even if it meant they had to repeat themself? That would be me.

Take a look at nearly half of the posts in this thread, at the end. If you look primarily at the ones in the beginning of the thread, you'll see that I helped proofread them (along with others as well). Not only does this show that a lot of members feel they can easily come to me, it also shows that they trust me and rely on me to do a good job. I know of others that are going to be doing the same with their applications, and I'm more than glad to do it.

Every week I make sure to get out a part of my Let's Play, which, by the way, is the only regularly updated LP we have right now. Even though it takes a huge amount of time and effort, I still enjoy doing it, again not for my own amusement, but to provide some entertainment for you guys, because I know how much many of you love it. I get a sense of satisfaction every time I see that someone has posted on them, because I know that it most likely gave them some kind of enjoyment to read it. I'm not saying this out of arrogance either. I've received absolutely zero negative feedback on it so far.

Although it's not a huge deal now since the League isn't as big a deal as it used to be, I'm also an E4 member for what it counts. I typically help members out in the RMT section provided it's OU, since that's what I actually play.

For those of you involved, remember when a certain member made a very offensive post about this site on another forum? I do. Remember how I made that post that consisted of 10+ paragraphs defending this site, my fellow staff members, and even the non-staff members? Now, I'm not trying to bash the person who did this, for those of you that know. I've forgiven them for what they've done, and I hope you do too. However, the point is that I cared enough about this site to make a gigantic post that was purely written by my heart and soul, spending a total of about two hours on it. If that doesn't speak for my dedication, I'm not sure what does.

I listen to what members have to say, and help them out if I can. I'm also usually on every day, so I'm very approachable. Many-a-time have I advised members to PM me if they had an issue, and for those that have come to me ever for an issue, do I not try to help you out best I can?

Now, some of you may think I'm mean or evil or whatever. However, the simple fact is that I'm very passionate about many issues concerning the site, because, again, I care. I want what's best for this site, and I believe that I can provide some change to this site that will benefit it greatly. Of course, I'd be sure to listen to the other staff members as well, just as I always have.

I have one more issue that's very specific that I'd like to cover before I finish up here, that being the "three posts a week to get into chat" rule. I admit that it wasn't the best way to go about things, but just understand that I supported it because I thought it would be for the best of this site, so we have something more meaningful to discuss than what goes on in chat. However, if elected, I won't push that rule to be enforced. Instead, I would try to find an alternative by discussing the issue with the new staff that would benefit the forum, while still allowing chat to be available as much as possible.

In conclusion, I know that some of you felt (or may even feel) that I was/am little more than a replacement for the last admin who mysteriously left us, Roaming. However, I hope that this post and my previous actions, the time and dedication that I've put into this site, convince you otherwise.

Thanks a billion for reading. I know it's a long post even by my standards, but I feel that only further supports my dedication to the quality of what I do for this site, as well as my love for it.

Reason why you should be given the position: I think I deserve the mentioned position because I am patient and I have a good relation with people. Thanks to that, I’m good at discerning what is a joke and I’m able to keep my temper and think carefully before making a decision I would regret later if taken on the heat of the moment. In addition to what I’ve said before, I always listen to the members' ideas and try to accomplish them to make the site a more enjoyable place to members, as this place was made for them. I also have been Administrator for some time, so I have some experience about situations I might face. These are the characteristics that differentiate me.
Besides that, I’m active on Nightmare: I have a gym; I’m part of Battle Tower and one of the top posters on the Forum. I always voice my opinions even though most people could be against it and try to come to a middle term, trying to please as many people as possible.

Reasons why I'm qualified:I believe I meet all the requirements, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I'd like to run for admin because I believe I can be a good, positive influence on the site. I'm generally good at solving problems, and I feel as though I'm trusted by members. I have been an active member virutally since the beginning of Nightmare's lifespan, and was one of the founding member's of it's predessecor, EPT. I have plenty of admin expierence, as well as forum expierence. I run a gym, always offer a helping hand, and I attempt to lighten up the chat when it gets to for serial. I also founded many topics on the site, including, The original set of the week, the workshop, several Interactive Stories (the timing was rather poor, the site was in a depression). I (along with Safi) also founded the Clan Wepkier, as well as gave the idea of restarting the gyms and clans in attempt to make them more active. I am also an Elite Four Member, a gym leader, and am always willing to help, if asked. I am also a spriter, participate in most, if not all, tournaments, and I think I am well recieved as an admin. I will be starting a new part of the Battle Dojo soon (the Battle Factory), which will hopefully go into multiple tiers as well as give some nice rewards.

I know when there's a time to be immature and there's a time to be serious. I hope that you'll let me lead you foward. Thanks.

Edit: I will put chocolate milk in the drinking fountains. :3

Reason why you should be given the position: I have recently been trying my best to help out the forum in any way possible. I offered to make a banner for the forum, and got a good feedback from it. I want to be more than just a member. I am a dedicated member of the Heroes clan and current replacement for Saf's water gym leader position for the time being. I have met all the requirements need to become an admin. I am very honest and understanding. I have changed a lot since I first joined. I no longer get mad so easily and rarely if ever start arguments. I did this to make the forum less hostile.

I want to make this site become great again. I have followed the new chatbox rule and started to post more often. I will do whatever it takes to make this forum successful and I think me being an admin would help clear up the clutter around here. I will dedicate all the time I can to this site if need be. I will make good incentives to make the forum more active and healthy. I will be fair and honest to all members so that everything runs smoothly. The forum has been like a second home to me, I love coming here so that I can enjoy everyone's outrageous outbursts and get good laughs. I will not let this site die.

Thanks for your time.

Why I think I'm qualified: I meet the criteria to run in the Election, and most importantly, I think I deserve the position because I'm a good member to the site, have done MANY things in my reign of Adminship, and is someone you could rely on.

In the site's days, we have all experienced, massive amounts of tension. Stress, on a Website. A Website designed for fun. I can understand why there is so much tension in the site. I'm stressed at the fact of this as well, and I feel that I haven't done much to stop it. With this new election, everything starts clean, and I feel I could kick it up a notch if you are well nice enough to vote for me. I want to fix the site, in every way I can, and can fulfill your needs. I've helped at almost every instance when a Member would need assistance, and I'm glad to do so. I love working for such a successful site.

Another reason why I think I should deserve Admin is because, I've done so much for the site and I have experience in this sort of thing. Do you see all the colors on the text of the Forums? That was me. Remember those "DTs" you all trade and use on the Forum? I was the one who brought it back. (I'm also in charge of them if you need anything concerning them.) And MANY more things I have done. I have also been here since the 2nd day the Website was even created and is online every DAY. And I'm thankful for the Admins and the rest to have kept this site running and alive since nearly 11 months ago. Again, I still want to help.

I am also one of the MOST active posters in the whole Forum. I'm #2 on the Top Posters to be exact. I love to exaggerate the posts to make them interesting as possible. If I am elected to keep my position, I will try to renovate the Forums, make them more interesting, and organize them.

I believe that the site still has a chance now, even though it's at this state. I am extremely willing to change that. I will fulfill ALL your needs and I WILL become a better Administrator for all of you. This whole post is nothing but a persuasion. If you think I should stay an Admin and is able heighten the strength of my current duties, consider voting for me.

Hope you have a good day.~

griffin★ wrote:Position wanted: Mod or admin~ Whichever one seems more fitting o3o
Reason why you should be given the position:
I'm not really much the type to write out long and boring explanations, so I'll try to keep this short and simple~
Experience stuff: I have over 3 years of experience in running and moderating forums. I know all the ropes and boundaries between positions and have used Forumotion in the past. Solving problems and helping people has become second nature to me with my job~ Though I am generally laid back, if a situation arises that needs action, I'm not hesitant to go into LG Paladin mode and whip out my hammer and boot. Starting and operating contests is also one of my strong suits~ Oh, I also have "professional spy" in my job description o3o (Yes, I have done under cover operations to solve problems on forums before.)
About myself: As you've probably noticed, I'm not much the type to go into crowded places. For the most part, I'm a creeper when I'm on the outside and only say something if I have some thing to say. But lurking around without anything interesting catching my eye is a bit sad =w=" I certainly wouldn't mind starting some official contest to get some activity going~ It's true that I'm not much of a battler; I'm terrible with strategies XD Being a pokemon battling master isn't everything~ Another thing... I am "a horrible person. I'm serious, that's what it says: A horrible person. We weren't even testing for that." "Don't let that 'horrible person' thing discourage you. It's just a data point" and holds no importance~ Nah, I'm not all that horrible unless somebody is being really and I mean really insubordinate o3o
There's probably more I want to say, but I just can't remember XD Sorry for failing at keeping this short -w-" Hope you enjoyed my analogies and allusions at least xD

Reshiram wrote: Position desired : Administrator/moderator

Reason : I have wanted Administrator or Moderator and have always tried to help the site, I have had many ideas and know how to work the site and I hope i can be a part of the Administrators or Moderators.

Why I am qualified : I have had some ideas for the site, and am willing to help the site. I also have a very high IQ and can solve problems and puzzles. I can find solutions to things that help the site as a whole. I have a forum site and know how the administration panel works, I know how to give members status, ban and take away status, and a lot more.

Drawbacks : I will be honest with this. I have been in arguments on the site, though I don't really like to argue. I am not the best at making banners, but I don't think that is a very big deal.

I know Administrators and Moderators have a status to uphold and I would have to be respectful, as well as avoiding fights if possible. I am aware of this and I will act accordingly as i should. Though I will still be my happy perky nice self, just without being stupid and arguing or making a big deal out of small things.

I understand others may be more qualified than me but I still hope I can get the position, and I will not let you down.

I know I have done some wrong here on nightmare, but I would like to make up for it, if you all will give me a chance.
