Why should you be chosen as Mod: (Use some IQ for this answer please)
APPLICATIONS ONLY all others will be deleted & banned.
Beggars will be removed & banned. So don't beg or solicit people to 'support' and/or thank your post
Known trolls & flamers need not apply..
Keep in mind.. this isn't to kill general, but rather clean up the spamming, flaming and trolling.
For example, we had 20+ threads about VB4 and people's opinions. A mod's job would be to clean spam and flames, merge those threads and keep order through use of infractions and bans. We hope to bring back intelligence to general.

Are you staff/special member in any other website: Donator on a non-hacking counter strike: source server/gaming forum
Why should you be chosen as Mod: Because I'm the ultimate general member, constantly on and checking via mobile. I visit this section more than any other webpage on the internet. I've calmed down and stopped my spamming/flamming to do my job correctly and to not be a total retard. I believe I'd be perfect for this position because general is my home. My favorite section of all, my creator and my taker. I would clean this section up so good you'd think it wasn't MPGH anymore. It'd be much more user friendly and 110% less spam. But still vibrant and with lots of valuable discussions.

Activity by hours: I am on my laptop every evenings during the week, I can come on my laptop during my breaks during the day, and for the week end, mostly during the day + the night.
Are you staff/special member in any other website: Never been staff somewhere else.
Why should you be chosen as Mod: I think I was a pretty good minion. Yeah I rage quit, but it was cuz my grand-father died, and it doesn'T happens every day. Like what I said, I'm always online during the week. I can clean while talking to people in mpgh chats. Its not rare that I see stupid posts/threads that we should delete. I would seriously love to help this website some more. I think that I shouldn't have resigned, since I sincerely loved to help MPGH. I've never been a spammer. I think that's a good point that could differ me to some other people. Anyway, Good luck everyone.

Why should you be chosen as Mod: Because I've been on MPGH for a long time already. I know the rules, I could clean up this section. I can go to MPGH anytime with my psp. I just love MPGH. You can see I dont spam from my post count. I'm online alot at MPGH RS clan chat msn and MPGH chat . Hope I get the position .

Are you staff/special member in any other website: NOPE
Why should you be chosen as Mod: I can safely say, out of all the minions and mods, I have the most experience. Granted I don't have to manage attachments, but so far I've been mod/minion for around a year and a half. Plus general doesn't have many attachments to approve anyways, so you could say I'm not overqualified. I believe I was destined for this job. During my time as Mod, I gained the trust of everyone, enough for you guys to give me banning powers, a first for anyone in the GFX Section, and I never abused it, every ban had a justification, and I'd always tell them the reason personally.
You see me as one of the people who complain about multiple threads, much like the vb4 threads, in fact I made a thread complaining about them, so you can see I share your passion to clean up General. I do believe that General is where the fun happens, and I little bit of banter here and there is healthy to achieve a dynamic community, but I do know where the line is. In the GFX Section I am always trying to diffuse tense situations as I would rather members to not be banned/reported but for their attitudes to change instead. I'm sure you guys share this attitude.
MPGH is the site I visit most often, and General is the section I visit most often. I go to TAFE from Tuesday-Thursday at 9 in the morning and come home at 12 in the arvo. The rest of the day until around 6-7 is spent on MPGH. On Mondays and Fridays I spend around 11am-7pm on MPGH. The weekends is where my activity will drop slightly, however due to my timezone Ill be back online on Sundays (for Americans).
Rest assured this is the position I've been hanging out for. Not sure if I should say this, but I was notified that I was the prospective GM in 2010, but I lost that because I had to resign from my position as Mod due to personal reasons. Now I've gotten Minion back I'm loving the position, but due to the activity in GFX compared to other sections, it would've been hard for me to progress without me venturing into other sections which already have established communities that I am unfamiliar with. General is the only section I'm fully comfortable with outside of GFX.
I'm also pretty sure I'm the most liked person out of anyone. Besides Austin and Vini .
Best of luck to everyone else applying for the position.
Name: Ian Age: 19 Location: MI, USA Activity by hours: 5-7 hours, can do more if necessary. GMT -5:00. Available anytime EST 2pm - 11pm. Are you staff/special member in any other website: No Why should you be chosen as Mod: I'm online everyday. Since last year, I've always been online everyday at least once. Today, my average time online is 5 hours but I'm willing to spend more than that if necessary. I always lurk at General section. It's the first place I check when I log in. I may not post a lot but I read almost all of the new threads I see in General section. I also report posts which is a clear indication that I look out for posts and threads that break forum rules. Most of the times, these reports are not taken care of for an hour or more sometimes. A lot of people are active when I'm online. I want to moderate the forums at those times. I've been here long enough to know about MPGH and how it works, especially the General section. I know I may not be known personally because I'm not in MPGH1 but feel free to ask me questions at anytime. Yes, I do have MSN and I use it also. (mpghian@hotmail.com)

Activity by hours: 24 during the week and 20 every second weekend.
Are you staff/special member in any other website: Used to run my own site.
Why should you be chosen as Mod: Well, I will be spending alot more time on MPGH now that i finally have access to a computer with internet. I came back from the dead about 2 months ago and alot has changed. I hate all those advertising threads appearing because there are no mods/minions online. Not that they're bad minions, they are just probably asleep or fixing another thread
Anyway, hope you consider my application and even if i dont make it in, i will help in any way i can because i love this place
Name: Dylan
Age: 18
Location: Canada
Activity by hours: As of now, I'm on about 3-5 hours a day. If offered a position on staff, easily 6-8 hours daily.
Are you staff/special member in any other website: No.
Why should you be chosen as Mod: As you can see, I'm currently a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. I reside in the Royal Canadian Light Armored Infantry (Aka. Dragoons - or RCD for short). Because of this, I have very strong leadership skills, high attention to detail, sensitivity training which means knowing how to react under pressure WITHOUT bias, and situation control tactics which is basically how to properly deal with two or more aggressors at once in verbal (in this case, visual-verbal) confrontations. I can swiftly make decisions based on the actions of said aggressors as to what punishments are suitable as warnings, serious infractions, and in extreme cases possible long-term bans. As such, I am able to respect authority and fellow staff to a high degree, and I am not afraid to ask for help if there is something I am not 100% sure of. I have been a member on this forum for quite some time, mostly residing in the Combat Arms section, but on and off delving into the General 'realm' I like to call it. Fluent in English, and I attempt to maintain proper grammar at all times. Well written English means well understood English, and as such, I believe less mistakes and misunderstandings are to be made. My recent employment in the Military has shown me a great deal of maturation, and a new respect for order vs. chaos. I took a break from this site previously, specifically because of how chaotic certain sections had become, often thinking "Hell, if I had the opportunity to help, I'd jump on it." Now I do have the possible opportunity, and I would simply like to offer my support in any manor it may be required.
Good-luck to all those applying for this position, I'm certain that the most deserving applicant will gain the position.
Thank-you for your time and consideration, and thank-you for offering your members the opportunity to be something more in the community that we love.

Are you staff/special member in any other website: I wouldn't still be here.
Why should you be chosen as Mod: Been MPGH GMOD before, and scaling my mod actions to a userbase of my generation's size proved that I was a good choice before. On top of that I've been used to helping others out as GMOD/VIP support (didn't have vs back then) as well as middle man before MM was a position. Honestly I've been an active member for the last 5 and a half years on this board, and I believe myself to be the most trustworthy person on this site other than the brothers. MPGH has always been and shall always be a part of me and my daily life and thus I believe it would be fitting to once again help this land expand and grow in a mature and no nonsense manner.
Name: Dean Age: 17 (Soon to be 18) Location: New Zealand Activity by hours: Most of the day (5-7 hours) Are you staff/special member in any other website: Nope Why should you be chosen as Mod: I believe I can help out around the place and as proven I can do well (atleast I thought so) I'm able to be super active from now on, I only resigned from my former position for a few weeks to take some time out and focus on studies. I know have ample time to spare (about 4 months of holidays) in which I want to do SOMETHING of use for this community. Whether I get this position or not I'm still going to strive to do what I can to help out the community and give back. General is pretty much my home, after CF and before the GFX section, so I may aswell try my hand at moderating here, right?

Activity by hours: I am online constantly especially with my soccer season ending I find myself with a lot of extra spare time on the forums.
Are you staff/special member in any other website: Only this one
Why should you be chosen as Mod:
I feel that I could help put an end to the vast amount of issues on how members are treated in the general forum and would be more than willing to undertake the task of helping cleaning up the general forum. I understand why there needs to be change around the forums and what needs to be done to start that chain reaction. I sincerely do care a lot about these forums and I would love to see it transformed back to its old glory, not a simple place for people to get on and lead another persona but rather to get on and be able to get away from their real life and be able to continue it on here without being judged and or made fun of. I know where a member draws the link between friendly play and harassing another member and that is not the experience I want anyone have to endure.
I feel that this section could be the root of why the forums have changed dramatically over the years, and that fixing this problem would later lead to fixing the rest of the problems that went along with them. I monitor this section along with the sections I am in charge of as well of staying in touch with the community. I actually think before doing things I don't simply jump to conclusions nor do I have a bias opinion over many debates, and opinions that our members have.
Good luck to rest of the applicants, hopefully the forums are given a fair and non bias moderator to look over the general section.
