Global Moderators : Respond to this thread with your admin application. Tell us why you should be an admin on this website. 2 admins will be selected from the 5 global moderators and those 2 admins will serve a 6 month long term and then we'll repeat this same process again in 6 months.

Can we also vote in this thread? There are only going to be 5 "applications" so it won't really be worth making another thread for it.

[edit] I didn't realize this was in General Chat.... maybe we'll wait for the applications and then have a proper voting thread....

Kind of surprising the apps were hosted in an open forum. Let's hope it's not a mistake and it was intended for the apps to be here.

I personally prefer the apps here, even if the voting is restricted to certain ranks. Openly throwing an app means full transparency, and I think it's something we need in this new path we're taking.

Who will be the two users to discard the poop coating in favor of caffe latte coating?

This may or may not come as a surpise to people but I don't really have any intentions to apply for the position.

There are a few reasons for this, I think I can accomplish most of what I want while remaining a global. Ultimately it also comes down to the fact that I don't feel I have the additional time needed due to off site endeavors. I think there are other people on the global team who are more interested in and capable of taking on the role.

Good luck to those applying. Though I am unsure how many are actually intent on going for it.

This looks like it might be a flop though it is still early on in the application process. So far one global has replied and he doesn't want the job. I think it might be a job no one really wants but I could be wrong.

I will apply for administrator position, back-end admin that is not really interested in front end. I can remain in my same Site Staff role if you want, I need access to the site codes and a database though so I can go to town on all the issues we are facing here. I think many staff would agree an additional back-end administrator (someone who has access to database and site code) would really help out this site. Leaving it all for Davideo7 to do is too much.

I would like to run for Admin.


I'm gonna be straight with everyone reading and say I don't have much to add to what I said in my running for Local moderator, but I'll restate it here. What I have to offer as moderator manager is someone who'll listen. To my team, whom would be much more than just advisors and work horses, and to the userbase, for constructive criticism.

I like to believe I'm a very reasonable person. I've spent nearly all my time as a moderator for Vizzed getting between people in arguments and fights, doing everything I could to try and get some communication where there otherwise wouldn't be any.

I don't really have an agenda. Some may come to the conclusion that a lack of an agenda means I lack a sense of direction for Vizzed, and there might be some truth to that. However, instead of pushing for what I believe is the best for the site, instead of making it *my* site, I'll be more able to listen to what the users want and help people compromise on changes.


Thank you for considering me for the position and good luck to the other candidates.

Ever since I started moderating here at Vizzed, I've very much wanted to be an Administrator because I think it's a role that I would be perfectly suited for.
 
Experience - I have several years of experience as a Global Mod. I think this will help me understands more deeply the responsibilities and leadership roles of the Admin.
 
Compassion - I believe I've always shown a very good balance of doing my work properly and being empathetic with the users. For example, this one time a user was repeatedly posting the same post over and over again, but it had content relating to suicide and depression. Many members got annoyed and thought he should be warned, but I responded like so : https://www.dropbox.com/s/3pjjq7ted53qnzv/Compassion.JPG?dl=0 (the username is not shown, and they are inactive)
 
Fairness - It is clear that I have ALWAYS had Vizzed's best interest in mind. I have never used my power inappropriately, and on one occasion when the mod team had been accused of "protecting" a user in chat, this was my response: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mlbgaj9b7uhi0nv/Favoritism.JPG?dl=0  (again, no username, and they are inactive)
 
Teamwork -  I think my actions in the past speak for themselves. I never boss the mods around, and I always get the perspective from several mods before taking any course of action. I've posted this example before, but here is how I communicated with the Vizzed community about the roles of Mods : https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=68978
 
What I plan to do - Honestly, I think all good decisions come from group discussions with the mods, so I don't want to enter this position thinking "I'm gonna do 'this' and 'that'". One thing I think I would like to do is pay forward to the other mods the power David is giving us. I would want the globals and locals to have enough authority to make many decisions without having to run it by the Admins or David unless necessary. David is busy, and I would want to make the Mod team mostly autonomous. 
 
Other things includes the idea of setting up teams to work on specific projects, like newbie welcoming, creating games and activities, and supporting members. But as I said, all this should be fleshed out with the team, not just me.
 
Please consider giving my the Admin position, I'm know I would do a great job.

Hypothetical question, if neither Furret or Minuano apply or do not want the position of admin what will happen? Will LK and m0ssb3rg935 be fast tracked to admin with no voting or will we allow locals to apply too? This probably won't happen, but what if it does? I'm curious what we would do in such circumstance.

JigSaw : If only 2 globals applied for admin, they'd probably just get promoted to admin without a need for any voting.

EX Palen :
geeogree : I was going to have the admin position be a public voting just like the moderator positions were. Having the community help choose the 2 admins helps avoid any staff bias and it also helps ensure that the community continues to agree that we're doing things as fairly as possible. Basically all of the reasons for having the moderators chosen by the community apply to this as well.

I've thought about it and I've decided not to run for admin. I might in the future but right now I'm content with where I'm at.

I feel like there are some who both want it more and deserve it more than I do, and while I do believe I would make a good admin I'm not going to run against them when I'm not 100% sure if I can take on more than I currently do.

Good luck to m0ss and Light Knight, and Minuano as well if he decides to apply. All of you would do a great job as admin.

I think I'll add some spice and apply! What's the fun in only having two applications???????

On a serious note, I had been debating this for a while and I had decided I'll actually take a shot at applying. Like m0ss, admittedly I don't have too much to add in terms of experience or whatever from my local application. I do have one thing to say, however.

When we were discussing who would become global, I had stated that I trust the entire team to take the direction of the majority rather than their own agendas, regardless of who got the global position. Let me state this - I don't have an "agenda". I don't have "goals" that I want to accomplish as an admin - the idea is that I work for the majority rather than just my own ideals. There are definitely some things that could use some fixing that could likely be accomplished by an admin on their own, but I imagine it's in everyone's interest to have them patched up.

What I'm getting at is this - I think the user base needs some representation in what they want done with the site. If you choose me as an admin, I would be working to help solve the issues that everyone wants solved.

However, I think (and I hope) I speak for the entire mod team on this issue (also judging by the fact me and m0ss have pretty similar applications hahah), so I hope your vote goes to the person(s) who you think can most effectively lead this direction that we're trying to take, even if that isn't me. There's nothing that I can really say here that would likely convince you one way or the other when it comes down to that. I will trust everyone's vote is the right one, no matter the end result.

Good luck to the other two applicants!

So, since 2 of the 5 Globals has decline to become Admins, how are you going to do this whole voting thing for a new Admin go now?
Still going to stick with the 2 new Admins plan, or go with just 1 new Admin?
