-I would like to be a moderator because I can enforce the rules of the forum without being biased or taking sides. I also can get onto the forum at times during the school day that others cannot including hours 7AM-2PM as my school gives the students laptops
-I have past experience as an administrator and moderator on the forum Halo Trial Mods
-I would like to moderate any forum that is opportune for you to have me moderate.
--In the area appointed to me I will browse for any misconduct of the rules and will enforce them to the best of my ability.
--I would accept any area that you would need me most at because I feel that I shouldn't simply choose a forum area but be appointed to one that the admins feel needs another moderator at.
-I have will bring more member support with activity and rule enforcement
-As stated before I am available in early hours and also available almost always during the hours of most activity (3PM-9PM)
-On a side note, not only as a moderator will I enforce the rules but encourage other members to do so as well also bring more ideas to the community as I already have.

My name given is Elizabeth, though Liz is preferred. I am seventeen years of age, though I have been told that I am much more mature and responsibile than many teens my age. I wish to join staff, for I feel my maturity and rationality can aide in keeping zB running in an orderly fashion. Regrettably, I have no formal moderating experience with vBulletin forums. However, I have administered many a forum via ProBoards and InvisionFree, and I am rather quick to pick up on the functionalities of.. essentially anything, really.

As for sections to preside over, honestly, I am not all too picky over where you decide to place me. I suppose I would prefer Music, General/Life Discussions, Serious Discussions, and/or Zewbies, as I frequent these sections more often than others, but wherever you feel I would be of most help, I will commit to my duties to the best of my ability. What I can bring to the site is what I have been bringing to the site, that is pleasant conversation, comfortable chill, educated debate, and overall a friend to the people of the community, but amplified by mediation, rule enforcement, and house cleaning. Due to the lack of a decent social life on my part, I have always had countless hours to devote to zB. I am always on.. I do not know if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but it is true.

My sidenote: regardless of whether I am approved or not, I will always look to zB, its staff (yes, Troggy, that includes you ), and its community with the utmost admiration. Ever since my joining in late December, I have always been proud to refer to myself as a member of such a magnificant community.

-Why you want to be a moderator
Well, first off I love zune and this site. I want a way to contribute even more, and I'd love to help keep the forums running well. Now that I finally have a zune, I feel i'll be able to contribute not only to moderating, but to helping more as well.
-Past experience
As far as past experience goes, I've been recently moderating for Gotzune.com forums, and although there has been minimal forum traffic, I've got a feel for moderating with VBulletin.
-What forum(s) you want to moderate
Zmedia, Zune gaming, and/or anything else.
-How you can help that area
As far as forums selection goes, I'd love to help out in Zmedia, being I use that forum section a lot. Also zune games would be great, being I see no current moderators for it and I am quite interested in zune gaming. Other than that, I have no preference. With Zmedia, I've been working on cropping/uploading some new backgrounds as well.
-Why you want that area
I pretty much stated that, but I love the Zmedia forum section, and I plan on using Zune gaming more regularly now that some news is beginning to trickle in on Zune games.
-What you can bring to site
I can bring new info, being I'm generally up to date with zune info/news.(I write for Gotzune.com). I also have a good amount of free time to dedicate to helping.
-Hours available to be spent moderating
Most likely around 2-3 hours a day, depending on what sports I have that day. I generally would be able to get in about an hour around 2:00(being I have typing class) and some time later in the day after sports.
-Any other comments
I have a lot of experience with zune boards, +1100 comments, and I've been a member for a few months now. Overall, I love zune, and I'd love to help out so I hope you consider my request. ; )

-Age - 25

-Why you want to be a moderator - I'm on here all the time anyway so I figure that I may as well be productive while I'm at it.

-Past experience - I'm currently a moderator on the official As I Lay Dying Fansite forum through fansiteproductions. It's very small in comparison to this forum but i imagine the principle is the same considering I would only be moderating a section or two vs an entire forum.

-What forum(s) you want to moderate - Religion (to start with)


-How you can help that area - I'm fairly knowledgeable in that area all the way around. I think that since I have been a member here I have made a large contribution to that section and I can continue to do so.

-Why you want that area - I spend 90% of my time on here in that forum anyhow. I enjoy debating religion and listening to what other people have to say. However, I take the subject very seriously as this is an aspect of life that has the largest impact on people more than just about anything else.

-What you can bring to site - Perspective, knowledge

-Hours available to be spent moderating - I would say at least two or three hours a day. Most times more, depending on what I've got going on at work. Like right now I'm at work and I've done nothing but screw around on here.

Name: Zach

Age: 19

Why you want to be a moderator: I'm usually on at ALL hours of the day and I have past experience with vBulletin Administration and Moderation.

Past Experience: Used to own and Admin an online Programming Community for All Microsoft Programming Languages, and Delphi... hosted on vBulletin 3.6.5 & Upgraded to 3.6.8.

What forum(s) you want to moderate: Gamez & zMedia are the ones I see most fit for myself. They happen to be the two forums I visit the most...

How you can help that area: I can mainly help by keeping "Important" or Helpful threads alive, removing intolerable garbage, and posting my own creations/artwork *when complete*.

Why you want that area: Gamez, because there are currently no Moderators of that section, I'd be happy to help, and zMedia, because I, myself, am a Photoshop Artist and Comic Book reader. That particular forum meets my best interests.

What you can bring to site: My personal ZuneGames (once completed), more members, as I've done with a few already, and my custom Photoshop works, whether they be Wallpapers, zSkins, Avatars, Signatures, whatever...

Hours available to be spent moderating: Anytime during the day or night, varying upon my Military Weekend Drill Schedules. (I will inform of days I cannot Moderate a week in advance)

Any other comments: Been with zB since the beginning, keeping loyal. I'd be more than happy to help.

I'm on here anyways, may help out whilst I'm here.
Well, honestly, none. But I could use it if you want to give me the chance.
Games and Serious Discussion.
Too many people don't know the rules of those forums.
I'll help them out
A respectfull and honest person.
Probably 2-3 hours a day now that it's summer.
I'm better than Pierce. Because I have a cooler Walrus.

• During the summer: Almost all day, School year: Half the day, and I have mobile web on my phone, so I can check in here and there when I'm out and about

Why

I feel that I could be a useful staff-member to the site. I already help out with graphics.

Past Experience

I've led and helped moderate several Gaming Unions on GS.

What Forums

Graphics Corner.

Why

I'm a designer and spend a lot of my time here viewing that board particular anyway.

What can you bring to the site

Graphics and help with those who want to learn how to design. I'm already on the GFX Team and I consider myself very helpful and generous.

Hours available

I'm on a couple of hours everyday since I'm always designing and on the Internet when on the computer. Plus, it's the summer and I use reading and the computer to fill in those boring morning hours.
