Thank you.

Absolutely. Wouldn't be a staff member of ForumCoin if I did not enjoy it or I didn't think the community has a lot of potential.

Duties: Removing Spam, Encouraging high quality posting, Moving Topics/ Posts, Making suggestions and generally helping members on the forum (especially when they have questions in the ForumCoin discussions area).

Do you have any plans to start providing hosting services again?

[Sam]

Do you have any plans to start providing hosting services again?

I have the perfect domain for it:

[+] Spoiler

Code: Select all

webhost(dot)black

... and I did investigate starting something up again (with a lot of lessons learned from holderhost). At the moment, however, I have to be focused on other things.

What is the biggest challenge you face as a community moderator here at ForumCoin?

TIA

[skysnap]

1. Are you a student or working?

2. Are you a programmer?

3. Have you tried making money online? like say blogging or tutoring or video?

Do you find it stressful overseeing spam on ForumCoin?

What sorts of things you like best to do to de-stress?

[Sam]

Thanks for all your questions- Keep em coming!

What is the biggest challenge you face as a community moderator here at ForumCoin?

Giving negative reputation. I'm happy to give out both positive and negative reputation but a member or two hasn't taken too kindly to it.

1. Are you a student or working?

Student studying Commerce (Finance & Accounting) and Science (Computer Science).

2. Are you a programmer?

I wouldn't consider myself one (yet). I know OOP Python and have been learning web development languages (javascript and PHP). I'm actually still doing a stage 1 computer science paper (I'm doing my final stage 3 Finance and Accounting papers this semester).

3. Have you tried making money online? like say blogging or tutoring or video?

I ran a very small hosting business that had >300 clients and a decent amount of revenue to match. I've tried other things in the past and after that. None of which have been particularly successful. I do plan to do some web development stuff.

Do you find it stressful overseeing spam on ForumCoin?

Not particularly. It's often reported and very easy to remove.

If by "spam" you mean Low Quality Posting... then yes that's a little more difficult because you have to arbitrate a standard.

What sorts of things you like best to do to de-stress?

I've found this video to be particularly good:



I also read, go to the gym and go for a walk when I am feeling stressed out.

How long have you been with ForumCoin and how did you discover it?

[Fergal]

I have the perfect domain for it:

That's a great domain Sam, sounds like you have plenty to keep you busy at the moment. I hope your studies are going well and that you are still enjoying them.

Thanks for your speedy answer, @Sam I imagine giving a negative reputation is not something you enjoy doing, but which sadly comes with the job. In your position, you obviously just have to put your foot down in some instances and that's inevitably going to upset some people. But let's face it, you can't please all of the people all of the time. You can't always win, but you do have a job to do.

How long have you been with ForumCoin and how did you discover it?

I joined Sun Sep 01, 2013 9:47 am (NZT). If you look at the member list, I was member number 10. memberlist.php. Fergal invited me on ForumPromotion. He explained the concept of ForumCoin and asked about me selling hosting for FC$.

Why you block in your Q&A. I just put a link to what I have written and failed to write it in my own words. It is already long overdue and you've not lifted that ban from me. And in some site that you're the admin or moderator, I am also banned in joining which has nothing to do with me. Are you that kind of person who cursed anyone for life?

[ceci]

This answer made me shocked as I am from Malaysia.

The site does not exist. You were banned for copy-pasting answers (i.e. plagiarism). I'm not sure how many times I have to repeat that.

My apologies if I did cause any offence. Typo. I should have said "Malaysia Airlines" the company specifically rather than "Malaysian Airlines".... I'm sure that other Malaysian operators have impeccable safety records.

What would you say is your favorite tv show, book, or movie?

[suny]

Sam- do you have any plans to open your forum for normal members like me (Like you did a couple of months before)?
