i always wanted to see what the moderator bootcamp was like but now i'll never get to and im kinda sad about that
the mods gave you an assignment or two each week. I think I was in it for 1 or 2 months only. Then they pulled 4-5 of us out (Me, Little Rude Girl, Unloved_Angel, LUCIFER!, and maybe one other person) because we were "ready" and they needed mods badly, so I wasn't in it for too long. For a task example, I think they chose me because early on, they started a discussion on enforcing rules and talking about mods authority. In the thread, 2 mods basically said the users had no input on moderator actions (in a REALLY long post) and asked what we thought of user input, critiques, etc.
I basically said that's bullshit (in another long post), which apparently impressed them because they debated me and I didn't back down. so that was what we were meant to be doing I guess, to show we gave a shit about normal users and that we weren't afraid to go against another mod's statement.
then another example is the video you linked.
so, assignments were stressful. but i made several new friends, which was awesome. it was probably the highlight of my gsm time. and then my batch of mods had to keep it a secret for weeks because they took forever with our badges, which was killing us.
omg!! it sounds fun
