Let's say "Bob" ran a server and had a post on here. Will Bob be able to keep his server post and be a sectional moderator?

Yes, sectional moderators may have servers, or even administrate other servers.

We're doing applications in "batches", the process works like so:

1. We enable the message at the top of the forum that says about how we are looking for moderator applications
2. We wait for enough applications to be submitted and then remove the message
3. We import the applications into the management system
4. Moderators and administrators vote and leave feedback on each application
5. Administrators decide which applications they're interested in and mark them as considering/accepted
6. If the administrator decides they want the user to join the moderation team for their section they contact the user
7. After all applications have either been denied or accepted we run the "completion" process which updates minecraftforum.net applications to their status on our management system

We're currently at stage 6 for this batch: we're going through the last few applications but we accept the next batch.

Just to clarify, if you send in an app in between batches (like right now when the message isn't appearing that they're looking for moderators) do you need to resubmit once the message appears? I submitted mine while they're in the process of contacting users and asking to be on their teams.

Also how long do they batches generally take?

is there anything special that's supposed to go in the "application title" box? searching through a few pages of this thread hasn't turned up anything.

I also found out today that [apparently] quoted text doesn't count against the "one word posts" rule

Congrats to all the new mods that were accepted. Good luck to the rest of you. Hope you make it.

Are applications always going to be accepted or is there a deadline in which you will stop accepting aps?

AFAIK we have all applications now processed, it's just up to admins to mark the applications on here with their correct status. If you have not had a response I'll guess you're not being considered. SORRY.

So after three weeks of waiting, my Moderator application was denied. Is there any way to find out what the reasons were?

If we have to explain to 500 people why they were denied we'd be sitting here 24/7

Is there a new place where I can apply for moderator? Because the current application link no longer works.

The moderator applications system was taken down when the forum moved to its current software, we do not have a new system in place yet, if and when one of the admin need a new moderator for a section they will seek out a suitable member and offer a position to them,

This may change in the future.

ah...that explains why I haven't been able to apply since the day before yesterday. Well I'll be hopeful that either I'm found suitable enough or the application system is reinstated
