Name: Firroth
Age: 26
Experiences: I have real life experience dealing with people. Many of you may know that I am a working junior barrister/lawyer and as such part of my job description is to deal with people - the fussy, the stubborn, the angry, not so friendly and etc. Other than that, I have been exposed to forum activities since my teenage years and I believe that I have all the basic understanding of how a forum is run and the skills to manage it.
Have you ever produced articles on the internet / newspaper: On the internet yes, but they are law articles available on the online legal research websites such as Westlaw and Lexis Nexis. Drafting legal documents, legal advises, opinions, official letters, submissions and etc are some of the things that I do everyday.
Have you worked as Forum Moderator on the internet before?: Unfortunately, No.
Rate your english speaking abiity: I would say somewhere between average and good, but you can be a better judge in this.
Do you think you have enough charisma to to interact well with members?: I would like to think so. I can get along with pretty much everyone as long as they don't creep me out. I believe that I am well trained in the aspect of interaction and communication with people, especially since social skills is an essential element in my line of work.
(Please be In-Depth) Why do you think you should be the new Forum Moderator of Ambrosia Community: Well, firstly is definitely because of my activeness in forum, which is due the amount of time that I spend on the internet. Be it at work or at home, I am constantly on the internet working, surfing the net, playing games, reading news and etc. My biggest motivation however, is my foreseeable future. In the next months or so there will be a strong likelihood where I will be given more responsibilities at work and as such my time playing games will be very limited. Whether the reason is work or age, I will eventually have to give up gaming altogether. Being a forum moderator however, I will still be able to contribute to the community and this will, in my opinion, be more appropriate than being an admin in the servers. To lay a few benefits that I can bring if given this position, as someone who is of a more matured age, I can offer views and opinions from a different perspective. As a legal adviser, I am trained to see things through an objective standpoint and this will allow me to offer objective, impartial and rational opinions when dealing with complex issues. My legal background will also be an asset in maintaining order within the forum and when executing the rules and regulations laid by the legislators. From the perspective of a player, my experience playing the game for more than 10 years is certainly another advantage that will assist me when resolving disputes, as the saying goes:- "can't fix something you don't know". Lastly, if I may add, one of the reasons for my application is due of the encouragement of a member thus, I would like to say thank you to him for his motivation and belief, you know who you are
