Fellow Primates, I wanted to ask for more moderators to help us moderate the boards.
We have a small group of moderators now and they are doing a good job but it is tough to keep up so I am looking to give moderator status to 10 of the more responsible users with a clean post history to help with the following:
Keep forums in the proper place. Interview questions need to go in the Get a Job forum, not Investment Banking forum, for example.
Delete double posts or useless comments.
I am also going to start blocking the IPs of some of the more egregious trolls on the board. While they can provide some comic relief from time to time, I think a lot of their jokes are getting old and they are detracting much more than they are adding.
So I just wanted to give the trolls their fair warning. Your IP won't get blocked automatically (yet) but consider yourself on probation if you are one of the Soiled Monkeys.
Thanks, Patrick
Rid the board of soiled monkeys.. Its annoying
where do i sign up?
haha it seems like almost every user is on that 'soiled monkeys' list
They are obviously trying to be funny. I mean look at the first post. On a side note, I wouldn't mind being a mod.
I'd be happy to moderate here. PM me.
Edmundo - watch out you are one vote away from cracking the top 10 on that "soiled monkeys" list. Patrick's got you on probation :P
I was thinking the same thing; guess I need to learn to play well with others.
MMBinNC, you'd make a good mod. Sign him up, Patrick.
heh, " wallstreetoasis.com " is on there too. so is SAC, and he's an extremely valuable poster on here.
Very appropriate photo.
Thanks Patrick, I think this will improve the site greatly!
This is nice to see, the trolls have seriously detracted from the site and made some interesting/intelligent unbearable to read.
I was about to pm you regarding the trolls, you know they're really getting out of hand when they have more posts than legit posters.
im down to be a mod too, if you need one more
i heard timothy geithner posts here regularly, he trolls though
I'd be down, if you need another mod
I like the idea of eliminating some of the more boring trolls on the board. I'm getting very sick of hearing the PJ/FTP jokes and the "BB or Bust" attitude is pretty short sighted and childish. Goodluck to the new mods.
PJC can actually be quite entertaining, at times...
Please block these guys if they keep trolling:
1styearbanker, FTPiper, and PiperJaffrayChiang
I would be up for moderating as well.
In my opinion, Moderators should be those who have a King Kong or better rating. Great idea, ban those who curse. Let's make this a prestigious website for individuals that are:
Goal oriented, persistent and resilient.
There are only 11 people at King Kong level or above....not enough to moderate a board of this size
I would like to be a Mod as well, since I come here almost everyday now.
i must agree. he seems to have gone through some kind of post-rehab... he even gives advice sometimes.
I guess this means piperjaffraychiang has been served.
Patrick, I will help out as moderator as well. PM me with any details.
Glad to see this is being done Patrick. While they can be funny, it's getting to be a little too frequent. We need to keep WSO business oriented.
will being a moderator get me a star by my name? its seems like only people with stars get love. im feeling a little low on the appreciation here. i know i talk sht sometimes, but i feel like i give good info and advice. i dont have a BB addy anymore. what else can i do? sorry to get off topic a bit. PM if you have time patrick. thanks.
Star means you are certified which means you provide Patrick with a work email so he knows you are legit. More info on it is on the FAQ's section.

I'm down to be a moderator.
why do u guys have WSO hyperlinks in your signature block. do u guys help revise resumes or did u guys actually purchase these services?
Patrick requested their inclusion in an attempt to drive revenue to the site.
I've purchased the interview guides, and would definitely recommend them. Because the site is useful, I was happy to include the links.
I think people with 500+ points should be considered - not all of these people asking to be a mod with 100
poor logic bkm125 and helphere, i hope you dont need me to explain why. you should be dinged as moderator otherwise.
as to anthony/drexel. clearly i know the rules since i mention not having a bb addy anymore, indirectly ask for my posts to be checked and am trying to expand my options for getting a star. its called subtlety and negotiating. i think it could be a fair trade off and i have nothing to lose. its up to patrick.
clearly, i would rule w/ an iron fist and a glove of vulgarity. do i get dinged for that? doh!
Obviously you don't make someone a mod solely based on the number of posts they have - these trolls have way more bananas than most people. My point is that I would rather have someone be a mod who has been posting for a while on this forum instead of somebody with 65 bananas.
el-oh-el... tres marrant
sign me up
Honestly, this has been a long time coming. I've seriously decreased my site visits / participation on the forum due to the degradation here on WSO and this place is really a great forum when people really help out. Glad to help.
if you still need one more, i'm game patrick
