Ah, for a moment there I thought it was for games, not boards. Wishful thinking.

I would like to apply but keep my name anonymous for personal reasons. Is there any way to prove my dedication so that I do not have to disclose my name?

I applied but even if i dont get selected, I just wanna say that I really like that you guys are doing more stuff like this. It shows that you guys care about these boards and I hope you all, new wardens included, keep it up.

I have one question, though. I don't see very many posts made by arbiters or wardens. And I know it's probably because they're so rare compared to normal boards members, but I wanna know what I'm getting myself into. So is there some type of limit on posts arbiters or wardens can make?

Edit: I forgot to put this in my application but I'm working on my education in biopsychology and I want the experience of moderating these boards. I think some experience here will help with my studies in the future.

Just a few questions about this...

  1. Is there any kind of age requirements/preference? I think I'm a bit young compared to many other people who use the boards, but I don't want to let that ruin my chances.

  2. Do Wardens get to delete every yasuo post in existence?

I've had a few fuckups in the past (to be transparent, I had a two week chat restriction back at the end of 2015, and I've quarreled with a few people in CaC before), which I've since apologized and moved on from, but otherwise I'd be 101% willing to volunteer as a Warden for CaC / S,A,aS. I'd also nominate a few other quality CaC posters like Echoing, Raxistaicho, fugertech, and Arakadia. I'd vouch for these four in particular and I hope they'd vouch for me. I'm an active poster in CaC and have judged contests there before.

I'm guessing this applies only for the NA boards? EU and the other boards do these seperatly for themself, right?

Quick question, what do you mean when you say "What would you do to foster your selected sub-board community?"

I have a couple questions. If anyone could answer them I'd appreciate it:

  1. How does the mod flair work? I'm assuming it just auto-activates in the relevant sub-board?

  2. This summer I'll be at work from 6AM - 4pm pacific (I'm on central time) so I'd end up helping out after and around those hours. Idk if anyone is up except player support at that time. Would that be ok?

Thank you in advance,

Thanks for taking the time to make this, and thanks for caring about the community--it's easy to forget that this game has real people playing it when you're just staring at models and text on a screen! [slayer-jinx-catface]

What's the difference between a Warden and an Arbiter?
