This competition was very hard, and was by no means a walk in the park. It was rough on me emotionally and mentally but I feel like everything I went through turned me into a better person. Every little bit i learned during the competition, turned into this big improvement and I feel I've made myself ten times better than I was before. Kronoz is very much qualified to be a moderator, don't get me wrong. But I feel I am just as qualified to mod this site as he is, and I really don't understand why he is put on such a high pedestal. He is guilty of some of the thing i was persecuted for, but no one really called him out on it for some reason. Kronoz has really shown us he can be condescending. Everyone was calling me out for "thinking I had it won" but Kronoz does the same thing. He has been cocky and rude in certain instances. And you were eliminated. You have no voice at all, your points are invalid. Nothing you say means anything. Run along. your reasons for disliking me are absurd. I'm too perfect?I apologize for being better then you at everything I do. I'll take your advice and wipe my robotic ass with it. I may have just won two challenges but each one was due to an immense amount of effort I put into them. Both challenges I won were not only do to me putting in effort, but also putting personal problems aside to work someone i disliked. Yes i have been in the bottom many times now, but I put 100% in and fought my way out of every one. Most people get eliminated during their first time in the bottom, but I SURVIVED 5. Every time I get thrown in I just come back stronger, and i'm glad it happened that way. If I was never in the bottom i wouldnt have know what to improve on. Its not impossible to get better after being in the bottom alot. Brandi M did it on charm school. Like i've said before every time I was down in the bottom I came back with a lesson. Dlove's elimination taught me that I had to treat people with respect, regardless if i liked them or not. From Ghostie's I learned that keeping your emotions in check was a gigantic part of being successful. During Clay's elimination I saw that maturity was a major component and showing immaturity can make you look bad to some people. Also from Clay and Ghostie I saw that just contributing to the site is not enough. You have to be more than just a contributer in order to be a mod. After Raheem was eliminated I saw that respect and being reliable is so important because how can you work with a team if you are unreliable and you don't respect them? I also learned the importance of being on time because you also must be punctual and prepared to get the job not just done, but done well. In the RS & VH1 Quiz challenge Kronoz knew little to nothing about our history. Everyone targeted me during that challenge because i was the strongest player on my team.I know more of reality skanks/vh1 history and I feel that I'm a little more acquainted with the community than he is. I've been with the veterans for almost a year now and Kronoz has only known them for two weeks. But it is not just about the veterans which is why I also reach out to new members as well, whenever i see an introduction thread. Saying Kronoz has the community backing his is really a false statement, because we don't know how the people rooting for Raheem would have voted if it was just Kronoz and I. For all we know they could have all voted for me if it was just and I could have won. Contrary to some people's beliefs I have contributed more to the site than just buying the domain and setting it so you can just type in realityskanks.com and be directed to the site. I've contributed suggestions, graphics, videos, i run the myspace and I'm not even a mod and i wasnt even asked to do it. I do it to promote RS and bring in members. It's very clear that I care, because if i didnt I wouldnt put in so much effort in. Most of this effort was put in before the game as well, so saying i only do it for the game is completely wrong. These are not the ONLY reasons I should be a mod though, because I have so much more to give. I do post on topic. I mostly post in Bad Girls Club and Celebrity Fit Club because those are the shows that I watch and i usually am the one to start the discussion of the new episode. It would be illogical to just go post randomly into show topics that I don't really watch and not make any sense talking about them. That would make me a troll. I basically think myself and Kronoz are both ready to mod. But Davie can only pick one, so the smart thing to do would be to look into the future. Thats what this game is about, the future of Reality Skanks. So lets say Kronoz wins this competition and a couple months later the community grows exponentially and a new mod is needed. What are we going to do? Throw someone with little or no modding experience into a community of crazy reality tv addicts? The smartest and best thing for the future of Reality Skanks is to put someone like myself with not much modding experience, but who is trusted by the community, in the mod position while the community is still young. That way I can grow with the community and get experience as I go along. When the community is big and we need a new mod, then we have someone like Kronoz who can deal with the larger amount of people right off the top since he has prior experience. He also can use this time in between to get closer with the community and really, whats the rush? He claims that he's not going anywhere. Blue started as a mod when we had very little members and he grew into the great admin he is today, it didnt just happen overnight. So why waste the oppurtunity to let someone who needs the experience to learn and grow, on someone who claims they have plenty of experience to begin with? This game was about CREATING a good moderator. Making us better. Kronoz was supposedly "the perfect mod" from the beginning, aside from him not being trusted. But the competition was not about being perfect it was about growing. If it wasn't about growth Davie would have just picked Kronoz in the beginning. I feel i have grown more than kronoz and i still have more growing potential than him. You can take it for what it's worth but I truly feel that I've put more time, effort and heart into this competition than Kronoz has and I've grown more than him and I will continue to grow. Kronoz would make a good addition to the team as well, so in the end I will respect your decision, even if it doesn't go my way, but please give me the opportunity to be the great moderator that Reality Skanks deserves.

When I first joined Reality Skanks, I knew something about it was special. I couldn't quite place my finger on it. Whether it be the many boards of shows I enjoy discussing, the active community, the colorful banners and skins, or just the fact that I felt comfortable posting here. But whatever the case, I really enjoyed Reality Skanks from the second I joined. After a few days of joining I noticed there was a search for the next moderator competition, at first I was skeptical of this method to find another moderator. But after experiencing this competition first hand, I can tell you myself that I feel like the best possible mod I can be. I can say without a doubt that I have learned and grown the most out of this entire competition more so then anyone else.
Having done consistently well the entire course over this competition. without ever declining, I can proudly say I have grown with each lesson, and understood each lesson to the fullest extent. Winning the first challenge, the interview. I understand what the staff and community requires from their mod. They need someone who is active, can communicate well, is respectful, and intelligent. As you have seen, I am all of those traits and above. I excelled at the event challenge, having won that challenge as well. It was a chance to show my creativity and design something fun for the website. As you can see from my campaign I haven't given up on my idea for "Reality Skank of the Week", and win or lose I will still pitch for the idea to be added to the website. To my dismay, after giving my absolute all on the Game Show challenge, I was eliminated.
However I stayed loyal to the site, and didn't rant and rave as others have and was offered a spot back in the competition. Being brought back to the competition, I was so incredibly grateful, and realized I would have to step it up even more. Going from 100mph to now 200mph and steadily increasing, my peers, the staff, and the community all agreed I would be the best fit for a mod but I was "too new". During the restoration challenge, I was the only person to fully prove I've been restored. I was the only one to know the problem they have and work on it before even being told. From the beginning of the competition, I worked on getting more active in the community, getting to know other members, and put myself out there. And because of all the work I've been putting, I was safe that night. For even further proof that the community wants me as the next moderator, I won the campaign.
I have taken not only my own critiques but others and have applied it to myself. I noticed a main thing in this game was "is this person here for the game" and "is this person emotionally stable". These two things I've kept in mind the entire time. I came into this competition, not viewing it as a game at all. And when people call it a game, it makes me cringe. This competition is not a game, games are enjoyable. This competition requires blood, sweat and tears from those who want to be a moderator. I also never intended to play any other message board games. When Clay had first asked me to play his I Love Money, I told him no. Why? Because I knew it would look bad if I had a ready interest in these message board games. You may be thinking, why am I signed up now then? Because I am someone who keeps my word. Clay offered to do my campaign buttons and banner if I played his I Love Money, so I accepted. However, if I was asked by the staff to not play because it would interfere with my moderator duties, I would quit without thinking twice.
Another growing trend was people having emotional spasms left and right. The constant critique was "is this person stable?". For five out of the final six, it was proven they weren't. I was the only person to be level headed, cool, calm and collected and ready to work without having my emotions cloud my judgment. We have seen again and again, these moderator hopefuls snap out of their professional face, and emotionally slip up during the competition. Ghostie, someone who was thought to have my current spot. Came into this competition and viewed as the biggest threat, but completely failed and lacked all of the credentials that a moderator needs. Clay, someone who was consistent, however his immaturity was what destroyed him in the end, and Jrox, he is constantly at wits ends struggling to survive each elimination. I still don't understand how he's survived these past 5 eliminations. Each of these people I learned something from. You need to be mature, stable, and able to understand that at times your friend will be your superior.
But other then what I've learned from the competition and my peers. I truly just want to be a moderator because I love this site. I know I have what it takes to prove to everyone that just because I am new to this site, that I can successfully moderate this forum. I will push for equality on this site. And make it more newbie friendly. I will push for this site to be the best reality website period. I know I can do this because I have broken all boundaries laid before me. And If I can break this last boundary set before me, I know I can lead this site to go above and beyond. If I am to become a moderator, I will push, and shove to get the better for this website. Did anyone else in this competition ever speak of becoming an Admin? No? Well I want to be one after I become a moderator. I want to prove to everyone that this momentum, this consistency and speed I've set, is only going to continue growing, to be strong and better. I will lead this site to success.
So I pray that Classic, Blue, and DAViE that you believe in everything I've said, believe that I can lead this community, this website into something bigger and better then it is now. Choose me as your next moderator.
- KronoZ

Not to mention when he was talking about my family. He tries to make everyone look bad. Go Jrox!

But you said yourself that you have gotten Newbies to vote for you. And everyone posted on there was a veteran. All the vets either voted for Raheem or Jrox... I apologize, I must have missed the note that this site only caters to it's veterans, and not new posters. As I said previously, I messaged newer members because the veterans did not trust me yet. I am more then confident that I can gain their trust as time went on. I also doubt Jrox got any votes from veterans, with 4 votes I can probably guess 3 out of the 4 of them. You, your imaginary friend Manny(who always does what you want), and himself. Yeah My Imaginary friend Manny cussed your ass out. And I told him not to. If you want I'll take a picture of his ass and send it to you.

*Thinks to self*
What's the point of being a moderator if you claim you're going to do it when you're not one, anyway?
Ahahaha.......huuuuuh

As a former intern and a super contributer of Reality Skanks I care about the best for the site so here is my opinions.
Jrox - I feel like you have grown from this. I feel like you started off a threat, then you went down to the bottom of the barrel, but slowly climbing higher and higher each time. I feel like you do want this, and Its obvious that You want this.
MY Doubt about you? : You say that being in the bottom each episode has gotten you stronger, however there are LESSONS inside each episode, and being in the bottom 5 times ultimately means you failed those lessons.
Kronoz - the noobie that shocked us all. So many people thought different things when you joined this competition, but nobody expected you to shine like you did. You have completely handled each situation with class, and handled it with great skill. I honestly feel you would be a GREAT mod .
My Doubt about you? : Honestly, I feel as though if you do not win tonight, you will continue posting for maybe a few weeks, but come summertime or so you will slowly back away from Reality Skanks, and eventually move on to another site, being a faint memory.
Overall, I feel like they are both great choices.
The first half of this competition was about the SKILLS needed to be a mod, and They both passed that.
The second half was about the community and how you would FIT as a mod, Kronoz you passed that, Jrocks you did not.
Kronoz you have been COMPLETELY consistent and shined , which is why its a hard choice, but if I had to choose, I would choose you to win tonight.
