“Assorted” Collector
Although I have many ideas about what to do if I get a position in the site staff, I wouldn't want you to get your hopes up if you want me to be a moderator. They're only gonna accept users that filed an application to be one. I'm not gonna file an application for one when they open up again because of a few reasons. First of all, my parents and grandparents wouldn't approve of me doing so. I am very loyal to them, and I wouldn't want to disappoint them. That, and I am still in college, I plan on taking a harder class, and I take the rules too seriously. Second, I have gotten in trouble on the site before, and I can get easily aggravated. Third, if I were to sign up for one, I would do it for some of the privileges other users don't get, which are larger avatars, blue usernames, ability to reset the count, and free TBT Fair collectibles. And guess what, if you are willing to sign up for mod just for the perks, you're basically rejecting what being part of the staff means. I would sign up for other reasons, but if you would sign up for it, don't go for the perks. You have to show that you're responsible enough.
However, if I were to become a moderator, I would at least like to implement some of my ideas. Only the admins can make these changes, but the staff as a whole would review these ideas. Here's what I would suggest:
However, if I were to become a moderator, I would at least like to implement some of my ideas. Only the admins can make these changes, but the staff as a whole would review these ideas. Here's what I would suggest:
- Bring back the interest system - very early in my membership, the staff turned off the interest system for two reasons. One of them was that people abused it by pooling in TBT and collecting interest. Another is that what they had in mind only benefitted the rich while practically having no use towards others. It's been down for 31 months now. But I came up with a solution where the maximum interest you can make at once is 25 TBT, can be collected once every 168 hours, and you get 1 TBT for every 100 you deposit.
- TBT Fair - introduce collectible house - I thought of a new event or attraction for the TBT Fair, which is the collectible house. That's where you can win collectibles not in the shop at the time of the TBT Fair. There's only one drawing a week, 7 winners with random collectibles given, and an animated collectible for another raffle at the same collectible house.
- Introduce astrology collectibles - a while ago, I thought of a new monthly collectible called astrology collectibles, just like how we have birthstone collectibles. They can be exchanged once, and you can have only one of each, just like the birthstones.
- Introduce user emblems - back when I was on TV.com, users had emblems that are based on user level or achievements. I would like to see something like that here. Each have different characters or items as pictures, and they are based on achievements and interests as well. Some are level-based on stuff like user status (ranging from banned user to administrator) and number of TBT bells owned, some are based on achievements you made (like have 50 blog posts or a wi-fi rating of 50 or higher), some are based on special achievements (like winning a contest or being a member before ACNL came out), and others are based on interests (like if you're a Pokemon player or what your favorite town fruit is). I have a full list of what I had in mind, but I'll post that later.
- Introduce AC guide - I know Nookipedia and Animal Crossing Wiki exist, but I think TBT should have their own AC wiki like that. I written a few guides on GameFAQs about Animal Crossing, but I think this would be good for TBT.
- Run a fall-based or apple-based event - you know me, I am an apple-obsessed user. But I do like site events, and I would like to be part of the event staff. And we didn't have too many fall-based events.
