Good day everyone, and thank you for reading this through if you have. And yeah, I'll just give reasons like every other candidate for this on why you should vote for me, remember this is your choice if you do vote for me thanks if you don't that's all right I'm not forcing or bribing you.

Who am I? 
I'm basically the average 15 year-old person, who has a psychotic love for flamingos and I ruin people's life in chat (only Furret) 
I like to try and resolve issues and conflicts whether they reside with my friends or just random people I find (ask my teachers) 
I'm pretty much a nerd so you got me there and I have many interests whether it be watching RWBY or playing a video game and making a review off it.

Why should I be a mod at all? 
I un-like some of these great candidates have never been moderator before, which means will I actually be a good mod at all? Will I be good and fair? I applied for mod as a chance to learn and grow, to put new opinions and perspectives into conversations and situations on the modding-team. I have little experience modding as I have only been a mod on a forum if you lot remember Thing1's "Youtube and Twitch" forum, but I understand most of the duties and responsibilities regarding threads and users. 

I feel being a mod actually helps you communication as well as you always need to talk and converse with your fellow mods and those who are higher ranked. It gives you a sense of "I need to be calm and rational these are my friends and my fellow mods I need to be able to converse with them clearly and nicely, we need to be able to work together not fight against each other". 

I'm also a person who always is ready to talk to people if they have a problem or want someone just to share a problem with.

I've been pretty active on vizzed for the past year so I'm pretty caught up on what's being talked about and what's going on. This will also help me to be more active than I've been post wise. Hey, I'm just another person who's willing to help and make a difference here, I just want to help people and work with some cool people. But, with that said there will be times where I will have to state the rules and put my foot down, I don't want to be rude about it though, I want to be able to resolve issues nicely and smoothly with both sides happy and forgiving.

Thank you for reading this. Now aren't you guys supposed to start "interrogating" *cough* I mean giving me some questions?

Q and Slay! Give me your thoughts everyone I will be here to answer them the best of my ability, don't be afraid to ask me anything

Sounds like you'd take the position seriously and treat it as a learning opportunity and that's good, but there is something I would like to ask:

1.You mentioned not having as much as experience as some of the other people applying for local moderator, what do you feel would make you the better choice compared to the other candidates applying?

2. You mentioned wanting to try and resolve issues with both sides being happy and forgiving and that is something I feel you should strive for but as a mod you will likely encounter situations where people might not be as willing to do that. How would you deal with a situation where that resolution might not be possible.?

Alright, where were you the night of September 3rd, 1997 at seven PM??
Well I suspect the correct answer is "not born yet", and for that I hate you and your youth I can't blame you. Also on to my actual questions.

1. Do you think you will be able to meet and/or exceed the Post and CP quota for Local Moderators each month? Will it be a struggle, and if so, will you be quick to adapt?

2. You mention being nice and loving to resolve issues for people. You also said "where I will have to state the rules and put my foot down, I don't want to be rude about it though, I want to be able to resolve issues nicely and smoothly with both sides happy and forgiving." I love that attitude as it's how I try to approach not only Moderating, but all issues with people in life. However, after nearly three years as a Local Mod, being a youth pastor on two occasions, a private school chaplain for a while, and a child's guardian, I've learned that you cannot always reach such a resolution. Sometimes you have to be not only firm, but strong with your actions and words (some might say harsh, though that isn't a good word for it). At times you find that someone won't hear calm reasoning and you simply have to be what many would call mean and just say "It's going to be done this way, because that's the rules". Those times are exceptionally difficult for people with a temperament like the one you and I speak of having. My question: would you have any hesitation at all about doing so if and when such a situation arises (because it will)?


EDIT: Zlinqx kind of Ninja'd me. Lol Please view my question as a separate question from his, as it is different in some key ways. Namely that he refers to people being angry and not being willing to make a peaceful and happy resolution, and I refer to people that simply won't learn or perhaps just won't back down to rule enforcement.

Zlinqx :
1. What I think I'm able to bring to table? Well I think maybe having another different person (me) added into the conversion is helpful because. You are gaining all my opinions and perspectives mixed with all of your's, which of course many different sides and opinions is always healthy to good discussion. I won't answer the exact question of "What I think makes me the better choice" But, I will say that I feel I'm a good choice as I like to absorb as much information about a conversion as possible always noting and making sure to listen intently on what's going on and after the conversation is basically completed and my thoughts are needed. I like to study what I learned and what was talking about in the discussion so I can get a clear view of what both sides are trying to say, and based off what I compile I try to put forth an answer on that.

Eirinn : (Little do you know I was at your window at 6:59 PM I'm guessing you found me out , I was secretly a ghost and stalking you). Now for me to be serious. Thanks for insulting my youth by the way "Eir-senpai noticed me" <3

I think I'll be able to answer both of your number "2" questions with one large response I will treat it somewhat the same but you guys will see where I start to talk about them individually.

   I do know there will be times where both sides will indeed not be happy with the outcome and some might still be mad or plain un-happy on what happens in the end. That is of course to me is a given, there will be a few situations where someone won't be calm and rational or situations where most might not be that forgiving to one another. In the moment, when the situation where my resolution is almost non-obtainable I won't just give up there as there is still something those two sides need to talk about so I will definitely go out and talk to them and try to reason with them to come to a consensus or at least get them to be at least on neutral terms where they aren't at each other's throats or still angered at one another. But instead I would try to make it so they can tolerate each other and at least try to dissipate the dislike between them, so when are with each other they are able to have a calm and reasonable conversation together. 
   
   Now, in the situation where I will have to put my foot down and the other party dislikes that idea and won't take it as an answer. I know there will be a difficulty, but even so I will try to make it as clear as I can for this person to understand what the issue is and why it needs to be treated this exact way so they are able to understand why I'm telling them what I'm telling them what needs to be done and why it has to be this way. Of course this doesn't work in every situation I've seen it not work before for others but I want to be able to show this person what it has to be dealt this way so they won't be angered or mad at me for what I had to do. So no, I will not have any hesitation I will just not let my emotions interfere with an affair like this and let the person vent on me if needed so I can see their reasoning to this so I am able to speak to them why they thought it this way and why I have to do what I did because of that. As it is the job to enforce rules and regulations I'm no tyrant I want to know and hear the voice of the person, I want to know everything they have to say as it's always helpful to me in how I can deal with that situation I want to make sure they understand it clearly even if it may sound harsh or rude but I know if I'm able to talk to them about it maybe they will have a change of heart. (circular reasoning )

Now to answer your first question Eir. 
   The quota of course will be difficult for me I may not make my first month quota, but I know I will be able to adapt to it pretty quickly as after the first month I'll think of it more strategically, I know with CP it won't be that hard for me, but posting I have a feeling will be a threat. So once again, at first I will of course struggle won't we all it's something to get used to and I'm sure I can adapt quickly to it as I've learned to adapt to many things. So I think I will be able to meet and maybe exceed the Post and CP quota for every month, I will just think of it more like a game of chess so I can think of how I will make my quota and manage my time around it so I can complete it within the deadline as I don't want to be a dead weight.

You sound very politically correct, so this role could be easy, but it could also be a challenge.

I'm going to give you a basic philosophy question, and I want to see how you answer it, please answer it 100% honestly.

A train is going 100MPH, on a track that can go one of two ways. It is currently on track to hit one person, who is of great worth to Vizzed, let's say geeogree. You can divert it away from geeogree, but if you do, it will instead hit 1,000 newbies. There is no way to save everyone, someone will die, either geeogree or the thousand newbies.

Now, let's say that the situations are reversed, the train is on track to hit the 1,000 newbies, but you can divert it away from them to hit geeogree instead. What do you do in each situation?

Beyond that, all I really have to ask is what the biggest difference you hope to make as a mod is. What do you hope to change?

SPEED LEGGY : Is there a way to hit both? Oh... that's not a question for me...


Ok ok... serious question time.
How much time do you spend on vizzed a day?

Is there anything keeping you from posting more than you currently do?

Sorry, I took so long but I felt these were pretty important questions and I really wanted to think about them clearly and try to answer them the best of my ability.

Vanelan :  
How much time do you spend on Vizzed a day?
I feel I spend 1-2 hours on Mondays because of the responsibilities I have IRL, On Tuesday-Friday I can get about a good 2-4 hours because those days I have less to do School-wise, and on the weekends if I'm playing a game or in the chat rooms I will usually be on for a good 3+ hours, unless something distracts me or I finish what I needed to do on Vizzed. In conclusion, I spend a pretty good amount of time on Vizzed I think considering I try to be on whenever I'm able too. 

Is there anything keeping me from posting more than I do now?
I don't really feel there is anything exactly keeping me from posting per-say I just don't find many threads to be of my interest and if I do have a thought I'll usually just talk to that person via profile or what not. I don't exactly post but if need be I can easily post about a good 8-12 posts a day that are of good quality. Finally, there is really no issue keeping me back at posting as I'm a person who has a lot to say about the things going around me whether they concern me or not so if there is a post quota I feel that I will be able to make it. 

SPEED LEGGY :
1. Ah philosophy, I've done a question based on what you're telling me right now and the basis of the answer to this question comes down to pure ethics. So let's break it down, on one hand I can save Geeo now I know him pretty well and I know he's a really good hard worker. But, on the other hand we have 1,000 newbies and some of which I may not know of, this kind of brings in the topic of bias correct? In most cases I should/would be inclined to save Geeo because I know him but if you think about the situation and bring in the theory of Kantian ethics in which "All people deserve to be treated equally, bias shouldn't be a factor" (My teacher). With that said you can also bring in the topic of Consequentialism ethics where every choice we make has a consequence so if I choose Geeo all those newbies will die, but, if I choose the newbies Geeo will die with me so far? Now, this brings in the topic of Virtue ethics basically I want to make a choice where everyone is able to happy, but this situation says I cannot correct, so how do I make a choice? You have to go back to Consequentialism and Kantian and try to weigh out what's being lost, am I able to bring into a new factor to protect both Geeo and the newbies but, then what's the consequence of me doing that? Either way, someone is going to lose and in reality the site is the loser because I'm the one choosing the outcome of this event and either way the site will lose a large asset. I know Geeo is great and amazing but I'm starting to lean towards the 1000 newbies only because I don't know their potential yet, they could be very great and amazing people themselves I can't deny that and the fact they outnumber him greatly but his achievements and acts also outnumber theirs. But, in the end it still comes around 1000 vs 1 what seems to be more logical saving the 1000, because you are indeed saving more people but in the end you’re losing a great asset. In conclusion, I really can’t decide like I said before in the end we still lose so in reality I don’t think there really is a right answer to this. (I could make this a larger argument and I still wouldn’t be able to choose one or the other)

What's the biggest difference I hope to make as a mod? What do I hope to change?
I feel a difference I want to make and something I want to change is that, I want to make Vizzed’s forum quality better in a sense. Now, I’m not saying that Vizzed isn’t good already nor am I saying it needs to be changed because it isn’t what it used to be no, I’m saying I want to make it more healthy than it already is. Lately, there has been talk about how Vizzed is turning into a boring buzzkill and is slowly dying out. Basically, I want to try to end that type of speech that has been going around as I feel nothing has really changed over the past few years I’ve been active sure a few users have come and gone but to me that’s all. I feel, as a mod I can show everyone that thinks that way that Vizzed hasn’t died off and it still can be fun and exciting it’s just like anything else you have to at least try to have fun and I think that Vizzed these days has actually been trying harder to be more active competition wise and what not. Finally, I say once again that the change and difference I want to put on Vizzed is trying to take off this negative sense and show how fun and interactive Vizzed really is and I want users to really have fun and be active. If they see a mod having tons of fun I feel like that can make a difference considering to most a mod looks like a “government law enforcing bore” and I want to show them that a Mod is just like any user and they can have fun like everyone else. (Virtue ethics àUse your power for the greater good to make a happy ending for everyone.)

Edit: I'm literally crying that I fail summoned Leggy.

Sorry, I took so long but I felt these were pretty important questions and I really wanted to think about them clearly and try to answer them the best of my ability.

Vanelan :  
How much time do you spend on Vizzed a day?
I feel I spend 1-2 hours on Mondays because of the responsibilities I have IRL, On Tuesday-Friday I can get about a good 2-4 hours because those days I have less to do School-wise, and on the weekends if I'm playing a game or in the chat rooms I will usually be on for a good 3+ hours, unless something distracts me or I finish what I needed to do on Vizzed. In conclusion, I spend a pretty good amount of time on Vizzed I think considering I try to be on whenever I'm able too. 

Is there anything keeping me from posting more than I do now?
I don't really feel there is anything exactly keeping me from posting per-say I just don't find many threads to be of my interest and if I do have a thought I'll usually just talk to that person via profile or what not. I don't exactly post but if need be I can easily post about a good 8-12 posts a day that are of good quality. Finally, there is really no issue keeping me back at posting as I'm a person who has a lot to say about the things going around me whether they concern me or not so if there is a post quota I feel that I will be able to make it. 

SPEED LEGGY :
1. Ah philosophy, I've done a question based on what you're telling me right now and the basis of the answer to this question comes down to pure ethics. So let's break it down, on one hand I can save Geeo now I know him pretty well and I know he's a really good hard worker. But, on the other hand we have 1,000 newbies and some of which I may not know of, this kind of brings in the topic of bias correct? In most cases I should/would be inclined to save Geeo because I know him but if you think about the situation and bring in the theory of Kantian ethics in which "All people deserve to be treated equally, bias shouldn't be a factor" (My teacher). With that said you can also bring in the topic of Consequentialism ethics where every choice we make has a consequence so if I choose Geeo all those newbies will die, but, if I choose the newbies Geeo will die with me so far? Now, this brings in the topic of Virtue ethics basically I want to make a choice where everyone is able to happy, but this situation says I cannot correct, so how do I make a choice? You have to go back to Consequentialism and Kantian and try to weigh out what's being lost, am I able to bring into a new factor to protect both Geeo and the newbies but, then what's the consequence of me doing that? Either way, someone is going to lose and in reality the site is the loser because I'm the one choosing the outcome of this event and either way the site will lose a large asset. I know Geeo is great and amazing but I'm starting to lean towards the 1000 newbies only because I don't know their potential yet, they could be very great and amazing people themselves I can't deny that and the fact they outnumber him greatly but his achievements and acts also outnumber theirs. But, in the end it still comes around 1000 vs 1 what seems to be more logical saving the 1000, because you are indeed saving more people but in the end you’re losing a great asset. In conclusion, I really can’t decide like I said before in the end we still lose so in reality I don’t think there really is a right answer to this. (I could make this a larger argument and I still wouldn’t be able to choose one or the other)

What's the biggest difference I hope to make as a mod? What do I hope to change?
I feel a difference I want to make and something I want to change is that, I want to make Vizzed’s forum quality better in a sense. Now, I’m not saying that Vizzed isn’t good already nor am I saying it needs to be changed because it isn’t what it used to be no, I’m saying I want to make it more healthy than it already is. Lately, there has been talk about how Vizzed is turning into a boring buzzkill and is slowly dying out. Basically, I want to try to end that type of speech that has been going around as I feel nothing has really changed over the past few years I’ve been active sure a few users have come and gone but to me that’s all. I feel, as a mod I can show everyone that thinks that way that Vizzed hasn’t died off and it still can be fun and exciting it’s just like anything else you have to at least try to have fun and I think that Vizzed these days has actually been trying harder to be more active competition wise and what not. Finally, I say once again that the change and difference I want to put on Vizzed is trying to take off this negative sense and show how fun and interactive Vizzed really is and I want users to really have fun and be active.

deg2000 :

I take philosophy, so, you didn't need to explain all of that. I just wanted an answer.

A gun is to your head, and if you don't choose between one of the two options, not only will you die, but so will everyone you've ever loved. The point is, you have to make a choice here. You need to tell us YOUR values. Yes, it is arguable from EITHER perspective, but I want your perspective in specific. Try again. If you can't choose one or the other, how can I expect you to make a tough decision as a mod?

I don't really have any further questions for now. This is a vital question for me.

When you say if "something distracts" you, is that something that could impact your role as a mod?
Without getting too personal, what kind of things do you feel are a distraction? Would you be able to overcome some of these distractions to be on the boards more?

As a mod, you are expected to try and bring in activity to your forums. How would you do that?

Vanelan :
1. How will distractions affect your role as mod? What is a distraction? Can you overcome them?
By distraction I mean't homework assignments and yes, they shouldn't be an issue and usually when I do homework I'm on the board mostly refreshing the New Posts too see if there are any threads I'd like to check out after I finish. I don't think that homework will impact my role as a mod too much considering the classes I am taking might actually help me with issues concerning problem solving or guidance is needed.

2. How would you bring activity to your forum?
The process I would use to bring more activity to my forum would be too, definitely make some interactive threads stuff like an "ABC, or Elimination, etc." Or just make threads that might get people thinking or something they can relate too and would like to speak about. Things that would make that person interested in posting their opinion. Making the forum, so users I guess are able to fun but serious games and have breathing room something not so restrictive, threads that always allow the users to have something to speak about and converse with each other. Basically, I think threads that will get people to be interactive and converse with each other, and that will get them interested in speaking their minds. But, to do that there might be issues inside the forum that might need to fixed or changed to make so users are more inclined to post in that particular one, basically we should get good conversations starting for people to look at and get interested in the subject.  Maybe have a competition or two, something to get people going.

That sounds more like obligations rather than distraction. ^^;

If someone is spamming the forums and you don't see any global+ users logged in, what would you do?

How often will you check the forums that you will watch over?

Do you think that, despite your nice and loving demeanor, you will be able to act when  you see people breaking the rules?

Vanelan :  Check their posts to see how their spam looks edit the posts and give the user a slight warning asking them to not spam, ask them to please keep their posts relative to the topic of the thread or ask them if they could be nicer. Mostly depends on what they say.

A vegeta of this :
Edit: (Let's just say I struggled trying to type your name correctly)

How often will I check the forums I'll watch over?
Well, if there are specific forums I am assigned to watch over and mod, I think I'll pretty much be living there trying to make good fun threads and nice posts. "Big conversation starters!"

Because, you have a kind demeanor are you able to enforce the rules when someone breaks them?
I definitely think I could, if someone was purposely breaking the rules I will be able to act forth whether it's a friend or not I will act in this type of situation.

Hmmm... perhaps I didn't make that clear.
A user (not of this) is spamming ALL the forums (including ones you don't moderate) and no globals+ can be found.
He/she is posting hateful things and doesn't seem to be the type that would stop from asking politely.
How do you deal with that situation?

Vanelan : Oh sorry, well in that situation I think the first thing I would do since it's clear the user has obviously broken the rules and won't listen to reason. I think the first set of action I would take is see if any other locals are online (The ones of the other forums) and converse and show them how this user has been acting by making a thread in the Spam and Abuse forum. Basically, confirm with the other mods on what type of "punishment" that user will get for breaking the rules like that. Afterwards, I'd edit the posts and fix any damage that was done to harm other users, etc. 

Sorry for the sandwich

Degkins.

I have a couple of questions for you.

1. If you were prime minister of the world what laws would you make?

2. Do you think the local election race will become a popularity contest?

3. If a person came in the chat in a crisis, let's say, a suicidal gesture, what would you do?

Snowdeath :
1. If you were prime minister of the world what laws would you make?
If I was prime minister of the world what laws would I make? Well I think I a lot of the laws right now are okay, I'd make sure Marijuana is still legal, I don't really think I'd change anything cause right now I think all the laws are doing fine I mean we got marriage equality and everyone seems to be pretty happy. But I would try to make, a law that declares human rights universally cause there are places and people who need their rights spoken outward and I don't everyone has their opinion heard or they're ignored because of gender or whatnot. The right to practice their own religion/ belief as long as they aren't offending or bringing harm to other human beings. Make laws for more environmental safety for recycling and renewable sources, try to fix our legal system as it can be corrupt sometimes. Basically change a lot of things for the better cause for the people.

2. Do you think the local election race will become a popularity contest?

I really hope not and at this point I don't really see that happening. Considering we really haven't had voting yet and because this is for something serious like local mod and the point everyone gets to have a say and vote I think this will go pretty maturely and fairly into a good election instead of a popularity contest. So far, I think this will have a really good outcome of choosing a good local mod and fairly. But, with that said I think the chances of this becoming a popularity contest are slim but it could happen if something happened to turn into like a popularity contest.

3. If a person came in the chat in a crisis, let's say, a suicidal gesture, what would you do?
I just have to say this is a really difficult and sensitive topic for me but I will try to answer it the best of my ability. In this type of situation, I think it definitely would be good to contact Global+ about this since it is a VERY important issue for a user and it really shouldn't be something to be joked about. I would try to assist this user in any way trying to see if a user online is harassing them or if there is a Vizzed or IRL issue and try to help them through this the best I can. As these kinds of things can be scary to most people especially it could be to those who witnessed it in chat and of course I would like to talk to them if they know anything or need talking to as well. The person who made the suicidal gesture just needs some talking to and comfort, and time and I feel as a local mod we are trying to help everyone we can and that's what I want to do help vizzed and users in need.
