hi.
I'm going to be a dick now.
I don't think Zang would make a good moderator. I love the kid, but ... no. I like that he can take a joke and have fun instead of being super serious all the time, but as a representative of the Tribe meant to keep order and interact with new members? no. He causes disorder (not that that's a rarity for most of us XD), displays a general lack of care for the Tribe (and basically anything that doesn't involve him or his interests), and constantly has a lazy, indifferent, "can't be bothered to do SHIRT properly, if at all" attitude (e.g. not completely reading threads and posting in them anyway).
Actually, it's kind of hard to be a bad moderator. I just think there are other people who not only deserve it more, but would do a better job.
I just wonder if some of you are even bothering to properly read candidate's posts or take the time to assess whether or not the way they behave would make for a good moderator. Are you just voting for the crazy, fun kids whom you recognize because they've been here a long time (which, by the way, makes no one better for the job)? :/
Go on, hate me more. It's nothing new.
I don't intend for this to turn into a hate/love on Zang-fest, I just wanted to express my opinion, however negative. You don't have to feel obligated to express your disapproval/approval of my opinion or start a debate with me. I just wanted it to be said. End.

You realize I'm not taking this seriously, right? This is to all of the tribe. In my opinion, a mod is just a janitor who occasionally helps people if they ask. Moving stuff, locking stuff, etc. Representitive of the tribe? That's the admins. Not the mods. That's at least my opinion on the matter.

...You're not taking it seriously? >.> Argh. A moderator is part of the staff. If you're part of the staff, you need to take that seriously. The job of the moderator is to MODERATE. Moderation goes farther than just pressing a button to lock a thread, or pressing another button to move a thread. If it was just that, anyone could do the job. Holding an election would be utterly pointless. Moderators represent the Tribe, too. Again, if you're part of the staff, you're representing the Tribe. What if you have a colored name? That colored name tells people you're ready and willing to help them. It doesn't really seem like you are. This is what I mean. You don't take things seriously. You shouldn't be a mod.

1. I agree with Bree. No offense to Zang. And not just because I have been nominated too. 2. You should totally make Rob announce the mods in video form like upload it to thepogotribe or something. It would be way more exciting

Not exactly what I meant. I'm not taking the election seriously. Obviously the job is serious, I believe jobs are a privilege and to be taken serious, no matter what the size. I'm saying that I don't think they're as much as a representative. That's not what I signed up for. I'm obviously willing to help tribe members. And now I've started this and have no way to end it. Pinatas!

To me Zang seems like the class clown...
Funny and more popular... but would never be given prefect (or W/E they are called)

Going back to the direct topic...Nominees...You know, it just occurred to me that I don't think I've seen a single QUESTION posted by any members of the moon toward the nominees. (Or atleast not in public on the forums) Kind of odd considering in 2 days we'll have our 3 new mods, and it'll be who knows how long until this democratic opportunity comes up again. Just a thought... Representitive of the tribe? That's the admins. Not the mods. That's at least my opinion on the matter. *facepalm* No offense Zang...You're awesome...But this isn't.

Ahem, dear noms.....(rob I was just gonna do that)
What will you do to make this tribe better?
Do you have any past experience?
How can I see you care about this tribe?
What makes you a better choice?
(and one fun one) What would be your first thing done as mod?

Just a thought... I more or less asked questions way back at the beginning of the nomination process. It was sort of like, "I want this, this, and this in a moderator! Are you these things!? :O" but no one really answered. XD Then again, I did phrase it in a rhetorical sort of way. Yeah. Oh well!

Just a thought... ^ + it actually surprised me how many 'members' have voted already seeing there are only a handful of people 'discussing' (the) moderators plus the majority of those are either the admins, mod nominees or Picnic... [\thought]
