Thats right, its that moment that a few of you have been waiting for... something almost as exciting as watching paint dry... yes Newschoolers.com needs to recruit some new moderators!

Traffic has grown on us, and the shit-talking is out of control...

Do you like to quash free speech? Do you like thousands of kids hating on you and wishing your death? Do you like the color green?

If the answers to some of these questions is a slight nod, then you should try to convince us that you deserve the power to make Newschoolers.com a better place to be.

Please send an entry of some sort to makemeamod@gmail.com and we will put you into an extensive voting system to see if you make the cut.

Believe me if your entry is stupid, or just doesn't have an substance to it, the delete button isn't hard to use, so put some thought into this if you really want it.

Include the following information:
-Member name
-# of hours per week on the site
-Your opinions of the public usage of the word f@g and the N-bomb
-3 ideas for how to make the forums of NS better
-Where you live
-What doesn't make you a douchebag
-Age
-Opinions of free speech on Newschoolers.com

You'll know who we choose when some new people turn green.

I think that a novice should be a mod, not a noob but someone whos been here more than 2 years.  Just to balance out the 10,000 post mods with the 2,000 ones.  It would bring a different aspect to the moderator system.

yea, J.D.May said that that isn't the full list, there are other people. but anyone can send in an application to be a mod. those are just people that sent something in. only a few of those will actually become mods.

It drives me crazy that I keep thinking of things to say differently and things I should have said originally. It's nice to see that there has been that kind of recognition so far. I hope it persists...
good people on that list

Haha yeah it didn't help that I sent mine in at midnight on Thursday night while I was doing a chemistry paper, whatever... I'm sure whoever they pick will be a good choice.

The only person I've never seen on that list before is "Wilkesyachtingco" and I searched in the members for that name but nothing came up?

Nope, not necessarily at all two of those five.

For those saying they don't know who people on the list are, that's why we don't let you vote. Everyone on that list is legit, mature, intelligent, responsible (in ns.com terms, anyway), and have someone on the staff who has faith in them. In fact, the fact that you don't know who they are is probably a big selling point in their favour. However, Prophet is also known as Crystal-Needs-A-Park, if that helps.

Just because they all dont have uber bling to rock the top of the list and post "jea" all the time doesnt mean they arent online reading shit.

not to be a negative input here...

put i would liek to see mods that are active rather than just reading...like you...you always posts good quality shit and it is worth reading...

personally i would rather have a mod that is like you, than someone who is online just reading

John, does Josh want to be a mod? I'd ask him, but I think he's driving back from Hood right now.

I just talked to him. He says he's down if it ends up being him. Are you sure he's driving from Hood? Cause I'm supposed to ski with him tomorrow.

Update, by the way; one spot is more or less taken (one guy has twice as many votes as anyone else so it's pretty much a done deal) and one spot is still very much up for grabs with everyone else being really close in votes.
