Modcast: Suggest Questions!

[The Funslinger]

Some of you may be aware of the dual series Communicast and Failcast we're currently running on the Escapist. After the current Failcast schedule is cleared (so, mid December) I am hosting a special episode, the Modcast.

On this show will be TimeLord, Marter, and Community Manager, Nasrin, hosted by me. Some mook you've never heard of.

Since we're setting aside a special episode, it's prudent that I take potential questions you want me to ask the mods. The most interesting or popular ones, plus any I feel like asking will be put to them in the midst of the banter when this does happen.

Suggest as many questions as you like, and point out questions you agree would be interesting!

Edit: Anyone wishing to appear on our regular podcast should check in here [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/CommuniCast]

As a moderator, what is the hardest thing you've had to smash the banhammer on (offensive content, a sobering fact that was delivered the wrong way, a joke that was too hardcore (that you might have laughed at))?

Besides putting Yakkity Sax in everything (or Guile's Theme or The Fresh Prince of Bel Air Theme Song), What is a song that if you put it with your favorite game would make you love it that much more (Example: I once played a game of Limbo to the song "Starless" by King Crimson, and it made the game that much more hauntingly beautiful to me)?

What are your opinions on Grigori Rasputin?

If your favorite band got a video game tie-in, What genre would be the most fitting for their type of music, and what would the game's story be about?

A lot of people on here tend to post silly answers to lots of questions, but what is the one forum post you would answer with a straight face due to what's being asked?

And finally, What's your favorite movie from your childhoods? What was your least favorite, and has your opinions on those movies changed over your life?

Or a more serious one:
"Do you listen to music when you're handling the report queue, and if so, what kind?"

How many hours a week do you 'moderate' for?

I second Topaz's idea, it'd be interesting to hear how much time the average mod spends modding since I've heard it often isn't as glorious a role as it sounds on paper.

OT: A couple of other possible ideas: roughly what percentage of reported posts are actually infractions? What's the most reports you've ever seen a single post get (and what was it?)

In one of the A Thing About Stuff panels that we pubclub members get to see it shows the distribution of lightsaber colors throughout the Star Wars saga.

Spoiler: For PubClub member eyes only

Shouldn't Phantom Menace have 2 red squares next to it, since Darth Maul had a double sided lightsaber? Or does that still just count as one?

Revenge of the Sith should also have 2 reds, one for Count Dooku and one for Palpatine.

And modest, you forgot to include modest.

OT: How do you deal with the mod queue outside of just going through it - do you wind down afterwards with a violent game where you picture your opponents as the offenders, or maybe you prefer something soothing. Or maybe you play something build up a state of mind for modding? Or something else altogether?

 

[Sassafrass]

How many times have you looked at a random user and though "Why can't I just ban this guy?"
I may or may not be serious about that one.

If that's no good, ask Marter about SK3 and why it's so awesomely awesome.
Also ask TimeLord if he actually is the son of David Tennant. They're identical twins nearly. 0_0
Also ask Nasrin if her cat tries to kill her in her sleep. All my friends who own cats have woken up to one sat on their face before. <_<
Also ask everyone if they've play The Walking Dead and if they enjoyed it. >_>

...RANDOM EMOTE TIME! 8D

If this goes down well, I'd happily set up another modcast with a different rotor.

Well there's that one mod, don't know if you know him or not, he is really cool, has Doctor Who avatars all the time. Maybe you should invite him!

I hate that guy.

OT: How do you replace your batteries? Is this myth of human mods is true?

But for srsz: Is it boring to be mod? How much of the reports are actually infractions? And what's your favorite TV show and film?

Nah, I hear he's not really attractive in the slightest, hell, I hear he's pretty damn ugly.

And he smells like elderberries.

Leukemia.

Props go to Fappy for that one.

OT: My question would be... "What sort of relationship do the mods generally have with eachother?" It would be interesting to get an insight into what its like in the mod community. Does it count as a community...?

For a second I thought you were making up that I had said that, but then I looked at the original posts time and realised it was a while after the drunkcast. Whoops.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

Why do you mod? To do what is right? To give back to the community? For the powertrip? The money? The Bitches?

 

[Fappy]

Cats or Dogs?

This is a very serious question!!!

Ooh, I like that one. We'll get to find out which mods Nasrin secretly hates things about people.
