Don't strawman Sled, I ranked mods based on their activity and their ability to moderate. No mod is bad, but no mod is good. I made these lists with no intention to make mods "toys" I'm not sure why you are all so offended by this.

Moderators aren't robots, they're real people. In order for them to effectively do their job, they need to work together which can't happen if they're put against each other. It's harmful to put real people in specific tiers and categories; instead, a good feedback discussion isn't ranking, but instead general constructive criticism. Plus, what do you mean by "the ability to moderate"? You rarely ever see any rule breakers on forums at all, so how can you possibly judge if they are capable of moderating? The fact that you don't see any is a pretty solid indicator of how well the mods are doing. Also most users on OldCP are not new, they already know the rules, so it's pretty uncommon to find a user actually breaking the rules or users that need help. In the chance they do, moderators are always there.

So how can you, Fable, judge them? The moderators aren't stupid, they are teenagers/young adults, and are all perfectly qualified and will take action if they do see it like any rational person. That's the problem with tier lists, you can call it unbiased but everyone has a natural bias. Lists are unnecessary, just give constructive feedback.

I am quite unsure myself. From my vast knowledge and wisdom, I assume that emotions are the state of being "happy" or "sad". I however do not know what these feel like.

Interesting. I also do not know what they feel like. We must conduct research so that this information may be present in our memory banks- I mean brain matrixes.

This term perplexed me as well, so I took it upon myself to conduct research. Due to this analysis, I simply referred to the Dictionary. An emotion is officially defined as “a natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships with others” (Oxford Languages). While it is baffling I have never personally undergone a so called “emotion”, I prefer Moderators and Citizens of OldCP has a whole to be rigid, distant, apathetic, and overall phlegmatic as I feel it assists in unbiased, professional moderation.

I used to watch jack all the time a few years ago then he became unfunny<3 :$ I did have an answer featured once though.

anyway the crime zone makes no sense

Ok first of all good luck this is really good, second of all I bet your essays for school slap so much cuz I searched up the definition of some of the words you used, third of all love ur pfp

people who don't like nikki have obviously never listened to her good music (although all of her music is good)

This actually sounds like a lot of fun it reminds me of camp games lol

Hello everyone! Around two months ago, once quarantine started, I began to get more active around the DSGHQ community like others. If you don't know who I am, my name is Candy but many here know me as Cindy/Cynthia. Some fun facts about me are that I love to bake, I know English, Spanish, Latin and can read Hebrew, and I'm ambidextrous! I am applying for Snaildom Moderator for GOK task 2.

Name: Candies
Timezone: EST
Discord username: candy#1417
Current Ranks: None

---

Why I Want to Apply:
While OldCP started to become more complex in its older years, I stopped keeping up with all of the new additions, commands, crime zones, etc. However, Snaildom is a game that I am familiar in and I might even say expert in! Before its closure, I was a user of Snaildom so I know my way around and I have tons of ideas on how to improve it, guide users, and moderate the game. I'm constantly online too, even mining when I'm bored when no one's on the game. I genuinely love the originality, neatness, and simplicity of Snaildom that I want to play a part in developing it, and assisting it for the future to make it even better! I feel that as a moderator, I would have tons to offer.

What Makes me Stand Out:
Unlike some people who didn't have Snaildom before, this game isn't foreign to me. Since I know a lot about it, I can really help new users who want to explore Snaildom become comfortable with everything so they can be parts of this community. Right now, Snaildom needs an active user base. We can't have new users giving up because it's confusing or nobody is even online. I stand out because I am online a lot and always trying to share the ideas I have on discord. As a moderator, it is my job to ensure the safety of all users and make sure this game, in its beginning stages (of 2020), will make people want to be online. When anyone has a question, it's necessary to have a moderator who can guide them. I also stand out because instead of sticking to one group, I make friends with everyone which I feel like is a very good quality that a moderator should have.

What Qualities Make a Good Mod:
There are a multitude of qualities I believe makes the best mod; patience, trustworthiness, diligence, and kindness. A moderator should not have to feign patience, it is their job to help users even if it disrupts what they were doing or takes a long time. In observing moderators throughout my time in this community, the best ones always give up their time to users to make sure they are understanding and helpful. Furthermore, I think trustworthiness is crucial to being a good moderator. It is important that a mod is trusted not to abuse their commands, but most importantly not to leave for a long period of time or act inappropriately. Because of my love for Snaildom plus all of the time on my hands, I will be sure to not leave Snaildom and be fairly active everyday. I will also be sure to stay impartial and out of conflicts as it is my job to work out conflicts instead of get between them. As a moderator, it is important to be loyal to the job instead of using it to get up to another rank; if I am moderator, I would not apply for another rank or try to gain more powers. I am applying for moderator for mod responsibilities, and a moderator should be trusted to not want more power. Additionally, diligence is very important to being a moderator; a moderator should keep trying even if something goes wrong. They should be persistent and work hard to log on, help users, and overall improve the game. Not only will I be a moderator, but I will also be a positive influence that users can trust that I truly believe can help the game grow. Most importantly, I think kindness is imperative to moderation. Moderators should not act like school teachers; they should not belittle users when a rule is broken. We are all equals on this game, and so treating everyone kindly is in my eyes is the most vital characteristic. As a moderator, I would treat conflicts maturely and speak to people as I would want to be spoken. As a sensitive person, I know despite the fact it is an online game, nobody likes being mistreated, especially by people with power. I think my sense of kindness, introspection, and compassion would make me a great part of the staff team and the community as a whole.

What I Can Bring to the Team:
I have a myriad of ideas to share to Snaildom that can benefit the community and make the job of the staff easier. These ideas prove that I am a very thoughtful person who puts effort into each obstacle I am tasked with. I feel like the moderators on Snaildom at the moment are doing a great job and I hardly see any rule breaking, but I feel as if I could be a fresh face to the community and really make it fun to play! I am collaborative; while working well independently is important, in my eyes the key to success is working well with other people. I am a great communicator and I'm never scared to reach out and address many people. In my eyes I am a good friend, which is a very important aspect of moderation. I want people to feel comfortable talking to me whenever they need to, even if I don't know them, and I am a very good listener. Everyone has something special to offer, so being part of the staff team involves creating an environment in which you can bring out the best in everybody.

Additional Information:
I really enjoy Snaildom and I think the game has so much potential, and it is fun to play even when nobody is online. So, I won't be inactive and I won't leave after quarantine ends. Although I think experience shouldn't define how well you can moderate, I will share some to prove that promoting me would not be random and that I have been trusted prior to this. I was a moderator, free fighter, Lady of the Bank, knight, and more. I didn't lose these ranks to misbehavior, but simple resignation around 2018 and 2019. Clearly, I am very passionate about moderating and becoming a key part to the community. I can make most events, which is helpful because that is the time moderators are most needed. Hopefully I can improve the user base beyond just events and make it as active as OldCP was in its prime! I also think it's important to add that my love of linguistics can definitely help in moderation, and it is also helpful that I know many different languages. I really hope I can be considered for moderator, and good luck to the competitors of GOK!

Who are you?

Im Candy on oldcp wth

So we all just gonna forget how he murdered ME too?

I like these but I feel like each users being able to mine makes the game special and if it becomes exclusive to specific jobs/users with ranks it wouldn't be as fun.

All of a sudden, I hear a loud fart coming from the hallway... this could only mean one thing

Hello Everyone, I decided based off of some trends I saw on tik tok the United States is currently inadequate. So on this map I made some revisions and I hope they take it into consideration.


What do y'all think I should add? Also here are all of the changes

• Alabama is entirely deleted. I don't have to explain why it was just obvious. Instead Hawaii moved over where it was and now its apart of the United United States
• If Rhode Island wants to be an island it is now
• Kentucky just LOOKS like fried chicken
• Texas is its own country and it gets a hat too. Also a new name, Yee Haw.
• Now all 11 people from New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine are connected through New Vermont
• Canada is the 51st state now, and because the website I used wouldn't let me add it above its just a small little land connected to New Vermont
• Illinois is now She-cago
• New Mexico just sat wrong with me so I named it "New Navajo" after the most popular indigenous tribe in New Mexico
• The Dakotas are now Dakota Fanning and they are one state
• West Virginia and Virgina are inevitably just Virginia
• Maryland and Delaware aren't important so its just a new state, Washington DC
• Nevada is just Las Vegas
• Montana is now Hannah Montana
• Alaska is family now it is connected to the United united states
• Oregon should be Auradon from descendants, and also we don't need another Washington. I just moved it around and flipped a few states and boom Auradon.
• Idaho is flipped and called potato
• Massachusetts is the most relevant New England state, and clearly the best. I thought it was insulting to keep it in New England, so now it isn't anymore. This is shown by it being a completely different color
• Thanks to sam I decided to separate California. San Fran can move down if it wants to and we also have LA so the other half is Disneyland now.
• Arkansas is property of yeehaw and changed to Arkansaw
• Mississippi is just the river. It will now be called River
• Void has a province and all the citizens of Utah will immediately be evacuated
• Louisiana is just New Orleans
• Good luck Charlie takes place in Colorado so

I think I should do something with California but im not sure yet

These are really interesting facts! I feel like for some reason in entering sophomore and junior year as pressure increased my writing in english began to get worse and I burned out over time. I hope unlike me you keep writing and improving and I can tell your skill comes super naturally to you:)

Agree
