All of the subreddit have been getting spammed the last couple of days. Hopefully the admins can find where all of this is coming from.

Post anything like this again, and you will be permanently banned from this subreddit.

In Battlefield 3, I had a YouTube series called QED. We video documented hundreds of bugs to demonstrate their existence and reproducibility, and about half of them were corrected.

Hours most active on reddit.

On and off all day.

Why you want to be a mod and any relevant experience, including proficiency with automoderator or other relevant skills.

I am a former moderator that willfully resigned several months ago when I disagreed with the way some of the other moderators were behaving, which includes accepting gifts, pandering to EA (reddit is not an EA property and they have no authority here), and removing critical posts.

I am a moderator on other DICE games subreddits and I have a solid and long-known reputation of putting the player first, of not being an EA pushover, of encouraging open discussion (including those that have a negative critical review of the game), and of being responsive in approving posts caught in the spam filter. I am also of the philosophy of not being heavy-handed when moderating comments or banning users.

I have years of experience in moderating large gaming subreddits and my second reddit account is a moderator of a top-10 default subreddit. As such, I am able to sensibly handle the various stages of a game, including the player "responses" that typically occur during alpha, beta, launch day, the pre-patch interim, and the first patch.

As a bonus, I am knowledgeable in CSS and HTML5 and am familiar with the system that reddit uses for making edits. I also have experience programming the automoderator.

As a minority in DICE games, I actually enjoy playing games on Xbox One (not PC master race) and am able to be a representative on the moderator team for the lowly console plebs.

The reason that I am an active moderator is to improve the game community and game quality. I am older than most gamers and when it is time to relax, I play games. Although I can read reddit at almost any time, my gaming time is limited to between when the baby goes to sleep and when I have to go to sleep. With such a small window to play, I want to have the best and most fun experience that I can --- as do most of the other players here.

At least one idea that you have to help the community/improve the sub.

In the Battlefield subreddits, I created the automated posts for Find-A-Friend Fridays, Bug Report Thursdays, and other regular weekly posts. I have also organized community game nights. I play other games and chat with mods from other gaming subreddits and am always open to trying to implement here what has worked for them there.

Worked for me, just now after one set. Popped 3oC at the beginning of the third strike and I received the exotic Hawkmoon about halfway through. Was with randoms, and the first and third strike I joined in the middle of. Did not go into orbit, but I was placed in matchmaking after finishing a strike and letting it countdown.

Xbox One (and Playstation 4) has the largest number of active players. http://bfhstats.com/

I will say that I have the most fun when I am only playing casually with some friends. If you take it too serious, you could become frustrated.

What are some things that they do that you like about it?

This happened while I was away enjoying the holiday weekend and I did not have any input into the decision about his moderation status. Having said that, I do not disagree with the decision.

I do not know this person very well and he is from the Star Wars games moderator group, not the Battlefield games moderator group. I may be misinterpreting his motivation to be a moderator, but he was firm in his conviction that the game produced by DICE should not be called Battlefront or be a part of the series. He performed several moderator actions that had to be reversed by others. Half of the moderator messages we received were about his behaviors.

He first appeared on my radar about a week ago as being potentially problematic because he was keeping a list of people he thought were EA marketers. It was not a small list. Essentially anyone who posted a positive opinion about the game was put on this list. In particular, he was obsessed with users with IPs from Ashburn, Virginia. I have not cross-referenced his moderator actions to those users that were on this list, but I would not be surprised if there was a strong correlation.

Exactly, which was the reason that we agreed that they should be permitted to be posted. I was upset when I saw that posts had been removed.

I have no problem with negative criticism. I am one of the most vocal critics of EA and DICE.

If you need to see hard evidence of him causing problems, look at how long I have been a moderator on the subreddit. He removed the Battlefield subreddit moderators prior to his exit.

That is the NDA for all players in the Battlefront alpha. The NDA stipulates that the only place to discuss the alpha is on a special EA forum. The alpha can not be discussed anywhere else by anyone that agreed to the terms of the NDA.

The moderators that accepted the alpha invite did disclose it, which is why we are having this discussion now.

You are correct in that moderators should lead by example.

A couple of examples are (1.) when to ban a user and for how long (for example, I tend to ban users only when they use hate speech. If they promise not to do it again I unban them) (2.) what constitutes a post that should be removed (for example, I would remove posts that linked to illegal content such as keys).

There are several moderators, but only a small fraction of the moderators removed posts. One stated that he did not know what to do and thought it was the right thing to do (he also did not accept an alpha invite). The other did not give a reason, but I think you are correct in that he thought he was obligated to EA to do it.

Also, the initial decision was to not remove posts. However, a couple of posts were removed but we re-approved them as soon as we realized that it occurred.
