From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands
Peering behind the curtain...
Published on January 4, 2008 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

WinCustomize came into being almost 7 years ago now.  In that time, we've registered over 3 million users, processed tens of thousands of skin uploads, participated in countless forum threads, answered emails, PMs and more.  The life of a moderator is always a busy one!

And while we've always tried to be transparent in what we do here, sometimes our job may seem a bit mysterious or confusing.  Normally you could just fire off an email to one of us with a question, but sometimes you might hold back because it's not about a specific skin you uploaded, or may not be all that pressing an issue.

In the spirit of ZubaZ's Ask a Master article, I'm going to start a spin-off; Ask a Moderator.

I'm seeking questions from the community that you'd like to see the moderator team here at WinCustomize answer.  Do you wonder why they moderate the queues they do?  Do they have a favorite skinner?  Do they have an innie or an outtie?  You get the idea.

Post your questions below, and I'll pick out my favorites to ask the moderators.  Please, no questions about why your specific skin was moderated a certain way, or recieved some rating.

_How are you feeling when you must rejected or add a low rating to something just cause it doesn't work correctly but could be really cool  (i don't mean rip or porn or whatever. Just things not build correctly and not working)?
_Why do you wanted to be a mod?
_What's your feels when a friend make something you can't allow in this site?
_When you begin your day on wc what do you do first? second?
_Do you keep skinning on day basis or do you not have the time now that you are a moderator?

I would like see real questions i'm pretty sure (as i'm a recent mod) that some of you have questions about being a mod, how the site is moderated/administrated so go head ask your questions

seriously..

#1. How many hours a day are required for a mod ?
#2. Are there other requirements for becoming a mod besides the obvious "being dedicated to skinning"?
