You of all people should know that staff often just up and leave.

 

 

 

It must be WoW: it's the only possible reason why a staff-member would want to leave TIF.

 

QFT!

 

 

 

 

 

Look at The_Sith...hahaha. He probably posts on the WoW thread (he has it in his sig!) more than the actual RS boards. I suspect other mods (who left or are about to) have quit for the same reason.

Look at The_Sith...

Why would you make fun of him/her for enjoying a game and posting in a topic about it?

Excellent idea guys. Who better to mod the community... then the community! :P

Sent mine in... who knows? :) I'm always ready for the challange. :wink:

 

 

 

No matter who gets chosen, I'm sure the community will benefit a lot.

You were a former mod?

 

 

 

Goodluck everyone. :) Well I wouldn't say it's luck that gets you in...

On Scapeboard, yes. And true - luck isn't going to help you in this situation :-s

Well I sent mine. I hope I get in. I haven't been active long, but I hope I've been a good enough member with a good enough application to get it. Only one way to find out. :D

wish me luck tip.it :D

Oh, a question to mods and admins. What is with the need for a "Secure computer". Do mods and admins of this site get hackers trying to get in through their computers or something?

People of authority tend to get more attention of the mallicious.

 

I personally never ran into such people in over a year of it...

No but also yes, it's to be safe anyway, you need a secure computer, cause if you don't, you'll probably end up getting hacked within the month, which means damage can be done to Tip It if you get promoted. It's also quite normal that Staff Members are more targetted to get hacked then the average Runescape player.

Ahhh ok.

 

 

 

I'm fairly safe. I do use antivirus/firewall/spyware searchers, but even then, I rarely get anything. I dont download anything or go to any sites that would give me that stuff. I pretty much keep to my home sites.

yeah, i would think that people would target people in a high position would be targeted by malicous people

Only thing my computer gets is the odd Tracking Cookie or twenty. They don't pose much of a threat, and I always remove them.

 

 

 

I hope this doesn't affect my application. Of course, since I am essentialy behind two firewalls, I am hacker-proof. \

It's not just that we're targeted more, but also that if you get keylogged randomly, what will they do with the information. Perhaps a better way of thinking about it is if we had to choose between secure comps and unsecure, why would we want to take the chance on someone breaking into an account and deleting half the website for example.

He's not making fun of him for it.

 

 

 

 

 

I was almost finished with the questions for the app personally and then decided not to do it. I'm not on the forums as much because of school now and am more involved with Lineage II than taking time to moderate.

 

Of course, since I am essentialy behind two firewalls, I am hacker-proof. \

 

 

 

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better.

Then what's up with the "Look at The Sith....hahaha." :?

I send mines in. I hope I get picked. I do find it to be rather fun to moderate stuff and make the forums a great place for everyone to enjoy. The only problem is, well...I'm sorta like a new forumer, but I do understand the rules quite well and I am more than happy to work around the tip.it community. I do feel like I could handle moderating the forums. :)

Hmm, same with me.

 

Every week I get this 1 minor tracking cookie

 

But I always remove it :D :D

Alright goodluck to everyone, I will be glad to see some new/more moderators :)

Thats what I said. More firewalls don't make things better, they just make it harder to get in. If some one wants in... they will get in.

Being part of the staff isn't only full of glory and glitter. It's not like you'd be in extacy every time you logged in. Leaving is part of the normal situation: nothing lasts forever and people have different reasons for leaving. Like I said, when I left after being a mod for around 3 years, I current lifesituation didn't give me enough spare time to work here and my motivation wasn't good enough to continue. However here I'd like to point out that even tho I've seen many staff members to leave their post, I haven't heard of a single situation where the reason for leaving was personal problems with other staff members.

was asked to be a mod before but my old computer let me down :P I'll wait until i'm asked to be a mod again though as it seems kinda cheesy to apply to be one after all these years of saying people who ask to be mods will be ignored :

Nice! I just sent mines in a couple of minutes ago. I hope I get picked. :)

You've been a forum user for 2 days and I think that's not enough time to prove yourself as a staff member here, isn't it?
