Whoooa, hang on there Sophie. =/
There's a three week period in effect that requires a member to be on the site for that long with decent enough activity to be able to take the mod test. And Yumi must wait six more days before she can do so.
I'm going to lock the thread until such time, so don't fret Yumi, but we have these rules for a reason.

That's my fault, Dani. I never copped that and promoted her to a Trainee Moderator. I should have also reminded people of that in my announcement. Sorry for the inconveniences guys. The test can proceed next week. I'll leave Yumi stay as a Trainee for a while. It couldn't hurt for her to take a look at what we've been up to.

It's no worries Andrew, there's been a lot of things happening so no one's at fault really. ^^
Just gotta stick to the system to set a good example. ~

Why do you want to be a Moderator at ZapdosZulu?
There are many reasons why I would like to be a moderator on ZapdosZulu. Firstly, even though this is the first roleplaying site I’ve been on, I have enjoyed it a lot. I love coming on and hopefully being able to post. Because of this, I could be more active. The second reason I want to become a mod, is because I love to volunteer and I’d be really happy to help out here. The final reason I want to be a mod is that I love writing/typing.
Are you an active member of this site and do you have some understanding of the rules and procedures of the site to be able to moderate threads?
I am very active on this site. I’m always logged in, and the site is open on my computer most of the time, even though I am not often in the chat box. Basically, the only time I wasn’t on for a few days was when my computer was being replaced with a laptop, and I couldn’t use it. I understand the rules 99.99%. There’s a few things that I don’t quite get for modding, but I am a fast learner, and if I reeeaaally need help, Sophie Martin, my sister can help me.
Have you had any past experience as a staff member on another roleplaying site or have you taken up a role of responsibility in the past?
The most experience I have is that my sister and I are making a site and I’m one of the admin, but it has yet to be up and running. So basically, I have no mod experience.

Why do you want to be a Moderator at ZapdosZulu?: I find moding fun, and because being a mod here means more rping time, I can build up my pokemon muse more than I can as a member. I love all the mods I have met so far and want to help them and anyone else who needs it through their threads.
Are you an active member of this site and do you have some understanding of the rules and procedures of the site to be able to moderate threads?
Yes, I have been on this site every day (except weekends where my schedule doesn't allow and this past week where i had no wifi, but i was on three weeks straight before that). I have watched many of the mods go through replying and read through test threads. I know when to ask permission to do things and trust you all to set me straight when I do something wrong. I know how to respect others, and understand how the site works. I just have to figure out the coding (and I know I can fix that in my test) and I will be completely set.
Have you had any past experience as a staff member on another roleplaying site or have you taken up a role of responsibility in the past?
Yes, I worked as a mod on a site called 'Fallen Paradise' for a year, which by then I had to leave due to the fact I was moving. When I came back I found the site had collapsed, but I've talked to the admin and she's said that she will always have a staffer place for me if she creates another one. I take care of a diabetic grandmother almost 24/7 and know how to take charge when I see something spiraling down the drain. I have tried creating my own site, but can never seem to get enough people to get it off the ground (even after advertiseing like a mad-woman) But I took care of the people that did join until I had to leave and have plenty of refrences if you need them including the admin for the board I spoke of and the co-admin of hers. (the co-admin is on more often)

Okay, Im going to go ahead and disregard that three weeks rule, just this once. Im going to reopen Yumis test thread. Vixi, youre also accepted. Please proceed with your test here.
Announcement Weve had an overwhelming amount of requests lately. Although we love your dedication to our site, we cant allow everyone to become a moderator. It has been talked over by the existing staff members and we feel the necessity to close this off before anymore applications are posted. We think it would be best for us to concentrate on training up the newer members of staff before we accept anymore.
We need to make sure that everyone has been guided properly and is aware of what is expected of them. That being said, this will open again eventually, so dont be disheartened. Once the member base has grown, well gladly take on some more applications. We also have some inactive staff members and at some point they may be replaced. We dont want ZapdosZulu to die out, after all. Well, thanks to everyone for reading. I really hope our reasons for this are clear.
--Andrew.
