How long you have been a member on SR: 1.5 Years. (18 Months.)
How did you hear about SR: Stumbled upon it when searching for my first ever scooter
Why you think you are qualified to be one of the new moderators: While I haven't been part of the SR community for as long as I'm sure other candidates have been, I have become extremely familiar with the forum rules, due to my own experience with how myself and others have deviated from some of these rules in the past. I have seen many different situations where a Moderator has stepped in and carried out the tasks they do to keep the forum a good place, and therefore have a strong knowledge of what each rule specificly implies. I visit the forum every day and night, to keep up to date with what's happening in the world, but I also observe the behaviour of fellow forum members, and learn from their mistakes to constantly make me a better person. I am confident at stepping in to any situations and always look for sensible solutions to a situation, no matter what the magnitude of the solution.
What is something unique you can offer that no one else can: I would say my main quality is that I am willing to listen to others. If a fellow member were to encounter a problem with other members on the site, I would be more than willing to try and resolve the problems between them and make the forum a happier place, I feel approachable. As a forum member, I am obliged to an opinion within debates/arguments. However I would always put my job before opinion and resolve problems without committing my opinion and risking even more inappropriate use of the forum.
Your biggest complaint about SR currently: The velocity of which arguments scale due to the constant addition of opinions of others. It causes a certain dislike amongst forum members to the point where one may be a victim of bullying/social exclusion.
What you like most about SR currently: The amount of information to be discovered for one thing. There is so much more to be learnt about our sport as it progresses ever so fast, and there will be no place to hear it first before SR! I also love the amount of new friends and acquaintances you can meet through either happening to live near them, or simply sharing the same interests as them. I mean we all ride scooters which is one common interest! I have met many new people just by finding out about events and gatherings with people from my area.
Things you think need to be changed on SR: The speed at which arguments/unnecessary threads are ended. The current Moderators and Administrators do an excellent job but they are possibly hindered by the lack of staff that visit the website each day. It fluctuates. By having more staff (Especially from different time zones.) there will always be somebody on hand to see to problems and situations occurring throughout the forum.
Your plan for changing these things: I think the main thing I will do is just make a regular appearance on the forum consistently. I live in the UK so I may be on the forum while the majority of members are off to sleep for the night. I can therefore keep watch over the happenings of MY daytime while there are not many other Mods to step in. This will keep the forum running smoothly all times of the day.
Anything else you would like to add that you feel might qualify you more for this position than someone else: I have on more than one occasion been caught in a situation where I deviated from the obvious option of backing away. However those days are now behind me and I much want to make up for my past mistakes by not letting them happen again in the future.
Many Thanks for considering my application.

4) City: Wilmington
5) State: DE
6) Country: US
7) How long you have been a member on SR: Since 02-21-2005 on this site. Previous to that on the oldd one!
8) How did you hear about SR: My friend steve schumann and I back in the day got into it when martin, kc, and silas henderson we're putting out videos.
9) Why you think you are qualified to be one of the new moderators: Getting back into the sport now that I've got a house, work, wife, dogs, etc. and starting to ride more. I'd like to stay around and give good feedback to riders, keep pushing the sport, and be an encouragement for the sport.
10) What is something unique you can offer that no one else can: A deef file of scoot knowledge and a friendly personality. Some assets like an extra bedroom if people are in the Philly, NJ, DE area and need a place to crash.
11) Your biggest complaint about SR currently: Occasional drama. Obnoxious kids. Always will be that way though when the majority of members are probably under 15 still.
12) What you like most about SR currently: That more and more kids are getting involved but SR stays solid in pushing the sport further.
13) Things you think need to be changed on SR: Making more available to the public about updates on big pushes for the sport. Not much overall though.
14) Your plan for changing these things: Trying to keep knowledge (thats not confident to teams or riders of course), out in the open.
15) Anything else you would like to add that you feel might qualify you more for this position than someone else: Just being decently respected by the people that've been on here a while. I'd like to get more into everything again and I think that by having a couple responsibilites to check up like on here would be one factor to keep me more focused.
Thanks!

Rob, are you sure you don't have access to it?
Admin cp > vbulletin options > vbulletin options > user banning options ?
But yeah, he uses a bunch of different IP's, I tried just the basic string "75.25" and anything after that, but there were a few of his that didn't start with that.

2) SR User Name:Matt Rittler
3) Age: 17 soon to be 18
4) City:Brookfield
5) State:Wisconsin
6) Country: USA
7) How long you have been a member on SR: April 2009
8) How did you hear about SR:Josh Nathan told me about Sr in fall of 2008 I was just to lazy to make an account.
9) Why you think you are qualified to be one of the new moderators:I know many people throughout this community and throughout the last couple of years being on SR have not had any problems with anyone.
10) What is something unique you can offer that no one else can: I have lived throughout the country during the last couple of years and have met many people who love riding as much as I do. While moving around I have been forced to meet new people and have treated everyone of them fairly I feel like I could help the community by using these same skills on SR.
11) Your biggest complaint about SR currently: My biggest complaint about SR at this time is people still finding the need to fight over the internet. Also, people putting down others when they ask a question that seems "Noobish".
12) What you like most about SR currently: I enjoy that SR is becoming a one stop spot for all of your scootering news. On SR you now have articles that are posted fairly often on the home page that are well written and keep us as riders up to date.
13) Things you think need to be changed on SR: I believe that the community itself needs to be more excepting of their fellow riders. I also believe there should be more sponsors on SRs banners and such. In turn I believe that there should be articles written on these new sponsors.
14) Your plan for changing these things: I would like to speak to Andrew about if he has gotten offers about expanding the amount of sponsors. Also I believe that the way to solve the problem of riders putting their fellow riders down is have stricter rules regarding just being mean to others because they can.
15) Anything else you would like to add that you feel might qualify you more for this position than someone else: I feel that I am an Adult moving on into real society so I feel I can be mature and keep and even temper always.
