Hi all my name is Doug. Im 58 years old and I'm the oldest dota player I know. You've seen me around of late as I've been helping out with ban requests for dota games. I have found the experience very enjoyable and thus would like to apply for a position as moderator. I play only two games on a regular basis (dota and gem td), but since I have become interested in moderating I have been playing others. If I'm selected I will be more useful if I can moderate more games than just dota. I played a game of civ wars yesterday and got thoroughly trounced.

I have been playing warcraft and dota for ten years now. I learned the game with my three sons, and although I'm too old to ever be good at it I do enjoy it immensely. One of the things I like about moderating is I can participate in a game without actually losing ELO :)

I'm a retired Emergency Room doctor. In september after 30 years I decided enough was enough. So suddenly I have lots of well earned time on my hands. My playing times can be all day at this point, and I live in california so I'm on pacific standard time.

I have no moderating experience as it relates to warcraft or online gaming. But I was the assistant medical director of the last emergency department I worked in. I chaired the patient satisfaction committee, the palliative care committee, and I was director of the hospital scribe program. These duties required me to moderate various groups and personalities including doctors, nurses, administrators, and patients. Im a good listener, patient, and a problem solver.

Here are some of my ban request posts:

I would like to become a moderator because I love the game, and ENT provides the best platform for its play. I dont like when people cheat, or ruin the game for others. I have found it very satisfying helping the moderators clean it up a little bit these last 2 weeks. As a newly retired person I have lots of time to invest in this, and look forward to learning more about the game of dota, and how to protect its integrity.

If selected I will bring passion for the game, wisdom in resolving disputes, and I will relieve larz from being the oldest dude here.

In conclusion, thank you all for taking the time to teach me. This is a terrific community and I like being a part of it. I would love the opportunity to serve, and look forward to that prospect.

Formatting aside, I can say that I fully support this application and recommend that beerlord be granted the position of game moderator. Not only has he provided assistance on the majority of dota ban requests the last two weeks, but his judgments of the vast majority of cases he provided aid in were accurate and correctly proven.

He has demonstrated proper usage of all the tools of moderation (FCD, DRM, replay logs) and has a solid understanding of the rules. He has also demonstrated more than adequate experience in judging circumstantial maphack cases. I have only disagreed with one or two of the decisions he has offered on the dozens of ban requests he helped in over the last 2 weeks or so.

Haven't had the chance to process any of his reviews so far, but I kept an eye on him and helped him best I could, and I can say that the information he provided was most of the time accurate.


child basically said everything I wanted to say.

+ Activity
+ Tools usage
+ Curious about rules and willing to learn
+ Very nice person


I think he is ready.

I processed some of his requests and the things he said about it were correct in nearly every case. In the beginning it was a little blury sometimes but it got better and he provides neat reviews of the games. Especially when it comes to suspicious moves in DotA in MH request his reviews were pretty good. He's spending a lot of time in these requests and his reviews were always a big help.

I support him. Would be a good addition to the Staff.

Aside from the extensively helpful assistance beer has provided on the forum, I've seen him in game quite a few times. He's a very level-headed player and a great person to have around.... even if he prefers beer to whiskey. #support.
