Hey man, I'm not going to do it, I already dealt with the chat and discussion dudes and I don't even know jack about Content Mod duties. Either you, Dio, or G1 have to test I'm Lynda and UTC Scrappy. Though considering they don't visit the chat, we'd probably have to arrange a certain time for them to go into chat PMs (if not, then some other form of private area or form of secure testing) and take them.

Guess you don't know how it works so I'll just explain it for you. Basically it's a pre-test asking them about knowledge they already know or may not know about to Content, and is obviously based off the Rules and Guidelines. You have a ton of material to use for ten questions, so it shouldn't be too hard to develop one. It will be a formal test, meaning they would have to respond directly, nothing silly like multiple choice or anything.

I'll use my Discussion Mod template as an example here:

DISCUSSION MOD:

This Discussion Moderator Exam will be divided into one example question following ten different questions that test you about your knowledge about the Rules and Guidelines. You will be timed for three minutes on each question EXCEPT for the upcoming example question. If you are answering to a question that pertains to a response to a violation, please be specific and do not answer with just "Ban". Be aware that there are different kinds of ban lengths and terminology for reasons a person would be banned. Know that since Discussion Moderators have powers similar to Chat Mods, you may receive a few questions pertaining to chat.

EX: When a user delivers a death threat another in chat, what is the appropriate response?

1.) Give one example of a two-word comment that abides the rules and one that does not.

2.) Give three examples of words that are completely unacceptable in serious debates.

3.) How does the three-strike system work in chat? (There are two different known forms, so you can probably answer with the one you're familiar with or heard of.)

4.) A user leaves a (regular) threat on another user's message wall. How long would a block be issued for?

5.) A user in a thread comments "You suck!". What is the appropriate response to this?

6.) How many one-three word comments can a user make before given a warning.

7.) Two users find a page that they find questionable. User A posts a JonTron .gif that displays shock. User B posts a .gif of a person fake-vomiting into a bucket. Which user has violated the Rules and Guidelines?

8.) Please give one example of a /me action that is NOT roleplaying and one /me action that is considered roleplaying in the chatroom.

9.) Five users suspect User G of being a sockpuppet after witnessing fishy events and ensue their own search and interrogation. Is the gang of five users or the suspect at fault?

10.) User A and User B are arguing about politics in the chatroom. It has been going on for five minutes. What is the appropriate action?

Depending on their scoring, they will receive different lengths of Mod training afterwards. Here's your basic key:

10 - 8: 3 Days worth

7: 5 Days worth

6 - 5: One Week's worth

4 - 3: Two Weeks worth

2 - 1: One Month's worth

0: Whatever you feel it should be in length beyond one month. However, you can switch to the third candidate and test them, rather training them than the failing candidate. But you still have to train the failed candidate and re-test them after you finish with the third candidate. Seems highly complicated, but it will probably never happen.

tl;dr Derp stop avoiding me, we need to get these done.
