Bitcoin Forum

Moderators on CoinChat get 1 BTC a month.

How to be a moderator:
1. Have a high maturity level.
2. Be active and provoke thoughtful discussion.
3. Don't ask to be a moderator (this hurts your chances).

u got PM

I'd sy I'm exceptionally reputable with the people there :)

I'll try for the job

I am good for the job.

How long should it take? 1 hour per day? Less? More?

I still can't figure why you invest some much time and money in that project.

I've been spending a lot of time on coinchat actually, especially on researching and testing out automatic client to client encryption. :P

No.

Not TF, but I assume there aren't so much any rates of how many hours you should be online per day, but you should just be active enough to effectively moderate in your timezone and you don't neccesarily have to chat and be active, I'd assume you'd just have to keep an eye out on the chat and moderate it, but I wouldn't do it just for the BTCs, you'll need to have some actual motivation, i.e liking the site, to moderate effectively.

Just my two cents, and again, I'm not TF but that's what I assume is needed/wanted.

Love this thread.   :D

Same. I wouldn't even qualify for the spot I bet, so writing here doesn't really hurt my already tiny chances.

Cool. I'll keep this in mind.  8)

haha, when I read the thread title I thought you were taking bribes in exchange for giving people mod status.

So how exactly does CoinChat handle over $100 per month? Did they get so big that they get $100/month in ad money alone?

I don't think so

He believes in his website and is investing in it.  He doesn't need to make a profit immediately - he can have reserve funds allocated to the project.

Nice site but how do you plan to monetize it?

I would like to ask one thing:


How many moderators are you planning on hiring?

+1

+2

The goal of the OP is to get people contributing lots of thoughtful, mature and not-about-being-a-mod content over at coinchat. So it would seem the main goal is to promote the site, not hire a mod.  :P

I'll try out.  I am mature (If I do say so myself.) I may not be that active when chatting, but I will keep an eye out. Besides, It is already a pinned tab on my browser. I can be on for at LEAST a hour on week days.

For the record: I am NOT asking, I am simply stating that I may be interested.  ;)

Send me a PM. (If I don't get one I may PM you)

Also, How many mods are you going to hire?

My page here at work is blocked when I visit your site as Fraud lol.. I guess I can't apply.

Private message sent.

If not to late I'm in pm sent

Ugh! Too nervous. I will send a pm.

Wait! No I am not. I am not going to ask. I must not for a chance.   :-\

Didn't read the rules first so excuse the pm and can't believe I'm just now finding this thread.  I planned to be more active on coinchat so it is a win win situation.

Hey TradeFortress I'm not able to log into my account on CoinChat. The password I'm typing in is apparently wrong but I don't remember changing it. Is there any way you can help me retrieve my account password? My username is : The4ner

Sorry but please make a new account.

LOL, you don't have password recovery?

kinda like party of apathy

Email recovery is very difficult to do right. Compromising a email account should absolutely NOT mean you just compromised every account of the user. I've been working on advanced recovery wizards involving the information that only the person would reasonably be expected to know, along with request analysis (IP, useragent, OS, browser) down to even if a user uses the tab key, hits buttons with enter, etc.

This is not something that will be used for coinchat, a small web chatroom. If you can't do something right, it's better to not do it at all.

Well you just gave away all your security measures, so now I can circumvent them.

Feel free to, that's the info you could see from clicking on "View Source". And if you're trying to compromise someone else's account, you'll need to know what OS, browser they use, where they access it from, etc.

I think the idea can be good, but what would happen if you switch OS and use a new browser? Or, your computer breaks and you buy a new one, and that one would be another OS, and another browser, would you still be able to use the forgot password function?

Well if you get a new computer, change your punctuation/browsing habits, and forget your password all at the time, you can't reset your password.

Sounds like a prime target for behavior phishing. E.g. create a bitcoin faucet: multiple forms to fill, browser headers available, IP address, down speed, etc etc all available.

Though I guess you could then send them an email :D

It just sucks because I used my prime email address to create that account now if I create another account I"ll have to use some throw away email address.

TF has around 9 mods at the moment, I assume he'll only hire more if there starts to be time zone gaps without moderators. Might not be true, though.

Protip: PMs I get in relation to this thread is how I filter out those that shouldn't be a mod :)

A good practice. I consider moderator status to be a lot like political office: those who want it the most are usually the worst candidates for the job.

I find chat to be a waste of time. Unless I need to talk to someone in real time.

I've moderated and administrated forums before, so I know that people can get pretty pissed if they're constantly being asked by people if they can be mods.

Just some general tips if you want to be a mod on CoinChat (I speak from administration experience myself):

• For God's sake, don't ask to be one. As an admin/mod of multiple forums, I can say that unless you've been told that people are allowed to make applications, you shouldn't be asking for mod. I'm pretty sure TradeFortress has this view too - if you ask for mod, you don't get it.
• You don't just become a mod and then check in for 10 minutes daily, this is at ~2 hours at the minimum daily, or you're going to look like you're taking the piss.
• If you see the 1 BTC a month and that's the only reason you want to moderate, then you shouldn't moderate. Ideally, you should actually *be liked* by most regulars of CoinChat.
• That means you need a reputation.
• Which means you need to chat quite a bit.

Edit: Going to keep an eye on this thread, not going to PM you of course.  ;)

* whiskers75 waves his moderator flag about happily, in sudden realization!

Epicness of what happens on CoinChat in the average day:

Me and lordson decided to go tip-mad today, another reason why you should use coinchat  ;)

And of course, the almighty DiamondCardz vs the World battle. Where the mods try to fight me with their powers, while I try to fight them with...tipping.

(of course these periods don't last long, otherwise the whole chat would be submerged in a tip vs 0mute war xD)

And that is your average day, as well as all the other chatter. ;P

Well this is certainly interesting, having been a very active mod on coin chat for several weeks up until the very recent past. (Moving house.)

I will definitely be returning to my former level of activity!

You're going to be more active now?  ;)

I declare this thread an

http://cdn2.holytaco.com/wp-content/uploads/images/2010/11/epic_win.jpg

I would like to apply to be a moderator.

I'm responsible, reasonable, friendly and I've moderated before with success.

Nnnnno.

I don't think you get the joke, lol.

whiskers75 - you aren't being unbanned, or made into a mod, EVER AGAIN, unless you shut up.

Oh really? :D

Well, never is hard to say, but your chances are quite low most likely =P

Well I hope I meet criteria for the job have own website been in the filed for a long time also manage own websites and other projects and have over 4 years administration skills and 10+ years mod skills from many different websites in past and present.

What you said about yourself does not matter, 'specially with no proof. It matters what you do here, and now, on CoinChat.

Damn, I should write that down.

coinchat is epic fail with only 15% of a decent real user base left and a ton of alt bots makin people extra monies and look at that!! its near the end of a contest and boooom the chat dissapears lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCAM!!!

Ermh, the chat hasn't really disappeared, there's just an error , might just be something wrong with the server. Stop making assumptions.

I wonder if the Admin already works on it or posts here a statement when its available again..since its down hours now..

O_o

He's in Australia, so probably still asleep. From this time, he genearlly wakes up in a few hours. I'd expect it to be up by tomorrow/tonight-ish.

alright, lets see :)

Thx for info.

applying some logic here....as i am actually allowed there, unlike you...i see the user base growing :) where on earth do you find 15%?! since you guys left, people come and stick around now they feel more comfortable.

the bots belong to different users...if you weren't a dick, you could've made one for yourself.....yeah, that's a scam....yawn  ::)

"It's near the end of a contest".....and, what are you saying? so T runs off with shit loads of referrals.... omg killer deal man! have you seen the exchange rate on referrals?!...it's free to join and they give you btc.....yeah, that's a scam...yawn  ::) there was other referral incentives in place before this contest...he didn't run off then did he?

It's a shame your guys chat is so quiet you manage to get the time to post so much crap about CoinChat.
note its not done back to you?
It's not something we would a) want to or b) stoop to tbh

Time to get over it guys. Maybe find something else to do with your time? You just come off looking like total saddos tbh and you do realise it is to the whole community?
You are damaging any future endeavours you want to have because people will remember all this and won't want to work with people that do that. Just a thought.

Peace guys, well from us anyways :)

I'm sorry, you're not allowed to use logic sir, this is the internet. Only flame wars allowed.

:))..logic is logic and money is money..i have just coinchat :))..very funny..i hope i will be the mod soon :)

 ::) silly me, totally forgot. Thanks, filed away my logic for other uses  :D

Thirded. I thought that at first also.  :P
