I am requesting to become a forum moderator because I'm an active participate and have answered many users questions on the forum related to the games and wiki in general. I already watch the forum for misconduct and most of my posts are helpful and not only in the Off-Topic/Role Playing boards. I also have prior experience moderating forums on [another website/wiki] and have the time to devote to this position. Jarjarkine (talk) 00:53, November 28, 2013 (UTC)
