One of the main reasons you are saying you want to be promoted is because you don't get a lot of respect as a moderator and that people don't care or listen to you "because I'm a mod". As a moderator (and staff in general) you have to earn your respect. People aren't going to listen to you just because you have a staff badge whether it be moderator, admin, or super-admin. They are going to listen to you if they respect you and you have to earn that respect. I know many moderators that do not feel they have this problem because people respect them and they have worked towards that and earned that respect. Moderators like Octocat, Alleycat, and Deadly Reflex are well respected by everyone whether it be players, staff, and the peoples F1's they handle. Yes you are going to get the occasional completely defiant rule breaker that you will have to handle we all do. But as for one of your main reasons that you want to be promoted I don't feel that is a very valid reason. Respect is earned not given as you have all the tools necessary to handle rule-breakers and defiant players as a moderator.

You seem to contradict yourself here as you clearly state in one defined sentence that you are power hungry and want the power and control of the admin rank. Then in the next paragraph you state you are not in it as much for the power and that it is about the respect. As I have responded above I do not think your reasoning that you should be promoted because you want people to respect you more is valid as you are the one that earns the respect regardless of rank. I have pointed out moderators that have a high amount of respect and do not have a problem with people not respecting them just because they are a moderator.

All in all I think you need to revise your reasoning as to why you should be promoted to a moderator as I do not find those very plausible reasons. It will be a -support from me until you improve your application with better reasoning as to why you should be promoted as I do not agree with the current ones you have given.

[quote="hopking1" post=67314]+support I dont always support people.[/quote] You should at least give a reason as to why you are +supporting [quote="Joe Duggs"] In your average F1 I constantly get users who don't cae or listen because i'm a mod. Say I now get an admin to come to the F1, its a completely different story, the user becomes more easy to work with and doesn't interrupt. Now I bet your thinking i'm being a bit harsh saying about respect and I might sound snobby but it's true, people give a lot more respect to admins than moderators.[/quote] One of the main reasons you are saying you want to be promoted is because you don't get a lot of respect as a moderator and that people don't care or listen to you "because I'm a mod".
