I have yet to see a mod who wasn't agreed to by the Devs, which makes perfect sense.
There's a difference between being chosen by a Dev (a la Duuring/Marks I believe) and being accepted by the Devs (everyone presumably).
No idea what the deal was with other mods before me, but I was asked by Blob as a favour.
Anyway that's neither here nor there, as the CR isn't a Mod (at least a full one) and thus the "application process" or whatever is very different.
Personally I'd like to see a larger mod team, but there aren't exactly queues of applicants. We'll see how this goes, but I'm sceptical that it will make the slightest bit of difference. Still, worth a shot.
More or less same here, i was asked by Reje in jan of 2014 to help assist, I decided not to do it until December of that year.(blob approved) The mod powers are also handy for admining na1.
i too would like to see new, capable mods.(which, afaik all you have to do is PM durring an application) I also do not see a reason to remove good mods because they are busy or need a break as i have seen suggested. Been working for the official servers for years. Even if they are barely active, it is still something positive.
I also hope that this CR thing helps but we will have to see. All it takes is one person to run for the wrong reason for it to fall apart or hurt it badly. I am curious to see how many fights/issues get resolved due to the CR or if the majority of people will even care what they do or say. you just never know until you see it in action.
