Re: Ask The Mods!!

 

That could well be the best thing i have ever seen.  so on my shopping list, Frog Handbag, green hair dye, and some wooden clips, to clip cloves or something... would green hair go well with an afro?

Re: Ask The Mods!!

Have any of you gone through low points in your lifes where you just seem to lose interest in everything and start giving up and isolating yourselfs from the rest of the world?

Re: Ask The Mods!!

@ Mulletino

If you could be any existing SuperHero which one would you be and why?  Probably Mighty Mouse, remember that one.  Im sure you can come up with a You tube link to the theme tune Mullet :smileyvery-happy:

 

@ Cooltails

Who makes the tea in the mornings? Those who actually drink tea make the tea, and I think thats MB and Moshii.  Moshii trained me on how to make tea but I got out of thehabit of making it :smileyvery-happy:

 

Also if it's not good,what happens then to whoever made it??? They get to spit out their own tea :smileyvery-happy:

 

Also are the chairs really made from recycled ps2's in the cafe?? There's a sign up in next doors office (10 Great marl street) which states that so it must be true, also BongoFrenzy told me at my interview that the chairs we were sitting on were made from PS2s so it is true.  We use office chairs at our desks though, the PS2 chairs are just for the meeting room.

 

@ Pin Pin Ire

 What qualifications do you need to work as a Mod? I think I heard somewhere that MB did a Law Degree but it could be a rumour.

I think MB stated in his intro that he studied law.  I don't think that knowing a thing or 2 about law was essential for HIM, but some sort of degree would have helped him and the other CTLs.  As for us mods, nothing specific as far as qualifications were lined out on the job desc, but I did state before that good communications skills are needed for this job, plus experience in other online communities.  Also the fact that I was an MVP before must have been a great help in my case, but so far this has been unique to me.  As far as I know no other MVPs have gone on to becoming mods, unless you count Bongo who went on to becoming CTL a couple of years ago.

 

@ads659

Is your desk messy ? The desks go in this order from tidiest to messiest, Alize > Yaster > Moshii.  None of us are as bad as your picture but Alize likes to lock away EVERYTHING, I leave out the odd thing like my fallout Bobblehead and maybe a pencil, then Moshii has a lot more collectables like anime figures and whatnot lying around.

 

 

 

 

 @ Milnerant

 "Do you drink whilst playing games (alcoholic beverages).  If so does it improve your performance?"  (i notice I play KZ2 a lot better) I think I said before that i don't drink as much as I used to, not that I had aproblem before,it's just part of growing up I guess.  For me it makes no difference to my performance.  And obviously we can't drink here in the office :smileytongue:  (I dont think so anyway).

 

 

"When you ban beta trial members, does their badge go into space?  Or do you sell them on ebay?" They all go into Mojos drawer and we send them to Wee Jimmy Krankie so he can put them on his blazer next to the Blue Peter badge :smileyvery-happy:

 

Also "What's your favorite KFC meal?"  Probably their most basic chicken meal.  I'm not too sure what exactly they have to offer but I always order the most boring thing in fast food places

 

 @pacman_ownage

any of you........... your favourite emote, .. doesnt necessarily have to be from here (mines clearly :smileyindifferent:  Perhaps :Thumbs: I used to visit a site where people would use that emoticon to confirm theywere able to attend even...

@HennyFarthing

What does your work place look like, what do you have on your desk.

Our workplace is it a nice office block with plenty of space.  As for my 

desk I have a rubbish PC, work phone, 60GB PS3 and a cool HD TV for

moderation of course. 

 

@Bearskopff

No, i would never do that to MB..............

 

@ Pin-Pin-Ire

What qualifications do you need to work as a Mod? I think I heard somewhere
that MB did a Law Degree but it could be a rumour.
I don't think you need to have qualifications for this job but it helps if you want to

move up within the company.

 

@ads659

Is your desk messy ?

No its so clean you can eat off it. Thanks to the cleaners.

 

@hennyfarthing

Shorts or trousers?

Both, sometimes I wear both at the same time

 

@milnerant

What do you normally drink at the pub/bar/club?
It all depends what i'm in the mood to drink, sometimes I'll drink some shots 

sometimes I'll drink some cider, sometimes some mixed drinks etc Vodka and coke

 

@Kingfox

is there some kind of initiation you have to do when you got the job??(kingfox)
Yes, its different from person to person mine was a few drinks and SingStar

and it was not pretty :Ill:

 

who is the biggest potty mouth in the office??

LOL Mish Mash and MB

You know all them free games and promotional goodies you get, the ones that just end up cluttering your desks and barely get used.... How would you like to send some my way?

@ Milnerant

Who has the most presence when they walk into the office.  Moshii, only because of her mad hair.

 

@ Henny

To all mods: Shorts or trousers? Everyone wants to know  Trousers, but with shorts underneath

 

@ Antho

Can I have a job? Ta. (After I have finished all apsects of school)  Lol, you'll have to finish your homework first as this will take up ALL of your time.

 

@ Crimson_Bullet

who keeps a eye on the mods on the forums :smileyfrustrated: you know what I mean all the shenanigans you get upto. Lol, there's no shenanigans happening in work to be honest.  it;s in the outside world we need watched :smileyvery-happy:

 

 

@ Narrator

Yaster! have you ever felt sorry for someone you've banned? If so, why? If not... Why? There's no easy why out of this question, clearly. There's no one who doesn't deserve it :Evil: seriously though it should not get to the point where you regret it as there has always been a reason.

 

 @ Milnerant

What do you normally drink at the pub/bar/club?    Again with the alcohol!  I think i mentioned before that I drank Kronenburg?  so just pints really.

 

@ Kingfox

s there some kind of initiation you have to do when you got the job?? I had to take part in a sausage eating contest

 

who is the biggest potty mouth in the office?? MB's always effing and jeffing and I'm sure Sslust is always swearing in dutch.

 

do you think its fair MB has gotten away without answering question? maybe a ask the community team next time not just the mods?? Actually....http://community.eu.playstation.com/playstationeu/board/message?board.id=608&thread.id=219664

 

@ nerdlegend

Anyway @ all how did you come up wih your usernames ?  I've mentioned this somewhere before.  Yaster was a word I thought i made up but it turns out it's someone second name.  i know, because he e-mailed me once as he was tracing his family tree.  I used to call myself Yastura online as there was a band in Glasgow called Urusei Yatsura who were a bit like Sonic Youth and Pavement.  They were named after one of those japanese comics/cartoons and after they split people would assume that I was this massive anime fan (sorry anime fans, but you're best talking to Moshii about yr Gundams and yr Ranma 1/2s) so I went about changing it to something that sounded similar so Yaster came into my head.

 

@ Mullet

Daddy or Chips? Well Daddy would always be the one who would pop out to the chip shop for us :smileyvery-happy:

 

@ Kingfox

 how is the last to buy a round in the pub?? I avoid round buying

 

would you ban spam or would you miss laughing at it?? When spam's funny it's not spam

 

how you ever had to mod something that think that person is just sick??  If you're meaning images and whatnot, I think I've been lucky so far and haven't really been shocked by anything yet, I can't really elaborate over the forums on that side of things, what happens in here stays in here, just unfortunatly sometimes after you guys have seen it :smileyindifferent:

 

@ x-AL-x

What games are you most excited about this year? Probably Uncharted 2, MAG, Modern Warfare 2 if it delivers.

 

@ firefox

How much kudos do you lot have :smileyhappy: Apparently I have 56


& why did you pick to work for Sony ?
Lol, because they were the ones offering the job. Obviously as everyone knows I was a consumer before working here, I did the MVP thing for 2 years and I've always owned some sort of PlayStation branded console for about 12 years now so it's great to finally be a part of the process now.

 

@ Dr_Kung

Have any of you gone through low points in your lifes where you just seem to lose interest in everything and start giving up and isolating yourselfs from the rest of the world? Aww jeez, this day was going great until this :smileytongue:  nope, I'm pretty much always on the ball

 

@ pav4n

Whats your favorite movie theme?, sci-fi, horror ect. I dont mind a good comedy,drame, thriller or just general action to be honest.  I'm not terribly too much into the "enthusiast" genres (like the examples you gave) but there are some exceptions.
