This interview was so late that I could've posted it for the upcoming week's interview. This week was a busy one. Every time I found free time it was destroyed by people. Crushed into debris... Anywho let's not talk about me, let's talk about One! Yes One, our fine Moderator :D. Enjoy:

 

 

 

DD: "One, why is your name One?"

ONE: "I pretty much chose the name because it wasn't taken. When I joined this site was fairly new so I thought I'd get a good, short name to go by, and this is what I thought of. Nothing exciting, lol."

 

DD: "But you're number One! Like Smitty Werben Yeggerman-Jensen! That's very exciting. Can you tell everyone how long you've been a Moderator here?"

ONE: "I have...no idea who Smitty is, so i don't know whether to take it as a compliment or insult, I'l go with both.

I have been a mod for 3 months maybe? I can't remember what I had for dinner last night so I don't even know if I got that right."

 

DD: "It was a Spongebob reference, just ignore that completely. I know Fire will understand if he reads this haha. On a very serious note however, before, there was you, Vitamin, Fire, and GSD playing the sneaker beaver on the Mod squad. Now GSD's out of hiding and Fire is no longer a Moderator. Are the Mods still looking for a spot at the moment or do you think 3 is enough?"

ONE: "right now, I'm not going to say if there is a mod spot open or not. I can say however that at the moment, I feel as though the site has a very capable group of moderators. But, it wouldn't hurt to have more."

 

DD: "I think we are fine with or without a new one. It's good to hear the viewpoints of a time like this from a Moderator's position though. How do you feel about the new Staff change around we had recently?"

ONE: "While it is sad to see Staff go, the reasons are always justified, so there is no need to get worked up about the changes. But while we lost staff, we also gained 2 great assests to the team. All the staff do a good job and I know they will continue to do a fantastic job."

 

DD: "I agree with you there. Shoutbox misconduct has been a growing problem over the past few weeks, with you being a Moderator it's very important to get your views on this. Do you think shoutbox misconduct is minimizing or is it still continuing?"

ONE: "It seems like, from what i hear and see, it still continues. The shoutbox is the instant thing people see upon opening the site, and we need to make sure it looks good. The mods try and make sure this happens, but there needs to be effort on the members part too."

 

DD: "That's disappointing seeing as the shoutbox conduct thread was made a few weeks ago. For the readers who haven't seen it, please read it here http://www.343indust...for-moderators/. I've heard more than once that being a Moderator is a tough and sometimes thankless job. What keeps you on the site as a Moderator?"

ONE: "Well, seems like I'm the only mod that signed the contract saying if I leave they kill my family....

But no, I stay because there is no reason to leave. I enjoy my time here and hope to stay for as long as this site remains up. You can't get rid of me easily!"

 

DD: "That's a great attitude for a Moderator to have and I'm sure you're not alone on that, Vitamin and Shep most likely feel the same way :dog:. On average how many PMs do you deal with on a daily basis?"

ONE: "uh, honestly, most days I don't even get PM's, lol. How many do people think mods get? :P"

 

DD: "Billions. I thought Mods get PMs every day about awards and complaints and a whole bunch of other crap. Anyway haha what's your favorite thing about coming onto the site :stuart:?"

ONE: "I'd have to say the best thing about this site has to be the community. It is one of the best I've experienced."

 

DD: "I love that answer when the guests give it. The community is what this site is all about, it's so much different than every other site it's great. And what do you like to do most when you're on this site?"

ONE: "I probably use the shoutbox more then anything, so I'd have to say I like that the most, it's nice to just have a place where people can IM chat on site, rather then have to use PM's, I don't see chatboxes on sites much and think it's a fantastic addition to the site.Except when people spam emotes....I hate those things."

 

DD: "I think everyone's a fan of the shoutbox and that's right, not a lot of sites have one. Ok One, to conclude this please give a final message to te readers: words of wisdom maybe?"

ONE: "Me? Wisodm? Hah, that's not right.

Anywaaay..um...I'd have to say, trust what the mods say. If they do something it's been thought out, you'll generally lose if you challenge them."

 

 

 

 

Ah another one down. Great final answer if you ask me, I think that's something members should all keep in mind. Thanks One for taking the time out to do this and being patient while I was gone. Thank you 343i Community for being awesome because without you all this would not exist. The next interview is going to be late, I'm just going to come out and say it now. There's no avoiding it haha. Look out sometime this week!

Great, Drizzy, but one thing I don't get....

 

Who are considered to be "stars"? I thought everyone to be equal, really.

 

That's a good question. We really are all the "stars" but these are merely my opinions. People that stand out a lot to me and most others on the site
