Volunteer Forum Moderator Application
Nexon Forum Volunteer Forum Moderator Qualifications
To be considered for the Volunteer Moderator program you must meet the following criteria in addition to completing the application.
-Criteria-
1. The applicant must be an active positive, member of the community. This means the applicant visits and posts 3 to 5 times a week across all forum aspects. Posts are constructive and/or contributing to the community. S/he demonstrates experience and an understanding of the game and game community.
2. Forum account and game accounts must be in good standing. If your forum account has been previously temporarily banned, you may still apply for the program. You will need to explain later why you were banned and what have you learned from it. Your game accounts must not have any prior history of abuse. Any found history of abuse will be an immediate disqualification.
We still encourage everybody to apply if they are not exactly sure where they fit with Criteria #1.

Answer the following questions:

2. Why do you want to become a Volunteer Moderator?
3. What do you feel you can bring to improve and guide the community?
4. If there was one thing you can change about the forum community what would it be? How would you do it?
5. Have you been previously suspended from the forums? If so, what was the reason? What have you learned from it?
Scenarios
1. Forumer A has made a thread on the forum asking for game advice. Forumer B comes onto the thread to tell Forumer A s/he has bad grammar. Forumer A posts back angrily grammar does not pertain to the thread topic and indicates to Forumer B not to post if s/he isn’t going to help. Forumer B returns and they both go at it. Forumer C posts to tell both A and B to calm down. What do you think it’s the appropriate course of action or do you take no action at all?
2. Forumer D creates a thread calling Forumer E a hacker. There is no solid evidence on Forumer E besides a personal video montage that may be questionable depending on who views it. What do you think it’s the appropriate course of action or do you take no action at all?
3. A troll has appeared on the forum and harassing other forumers. He managed to get forumers to flame back and create multiple threads about him/her. What do you think is the appropriate course of action or do you take no action at all?
4. A new patch has added some controversial content to a certain game. Several players have created threads voicing their opinion on the matter. While each thread has a similar subject line, the Original Post in each thread has a truly different perspective on the situation. What do you think is the appropriate course of action or do you take no action at all?
5. A new exploit has been discovered in a Nexon game. Forumer F posts it on the forums, including step by step instructions to repeat it. He then posts pictures of other players doing this exploit. The tone of the post is that it wishes the GMs to be made aware of and take appropriate action against the exploiters. Forumer F explains sternly that they have only done this once on an alt. account to verify. What do you think is the appropriate course of action or do you take no action at all?
6. Forumer G creates a thread entitled “New Patch SUCKS!” In the thread, the forumer lists, in bullet point, everything they believe is “Wrong” with the new patch. Their response is well worded, precise, and validates its own points; it also contains several references to Nexon being lazy and forum members being “suck ups”. The post ends with the threat to quit. What do you think is the appropriate course of action or do you take no action at all?
Again, copy the entire form into an email, and answer all the questions. Do not post your information on the forums. Send the email to [removed]. Please make the subject line: -Volunteer Forum Moderator- <Forum ID Here> . If it does not have that subject line followed by your name, your application may be lost. Serious applicants ONLY.
