Become Kotaku's Next King of Comments

It's been almost six months since we were fortunate enough to discover Witzbold and appoint him, with your blessing, as the Kotaku's Commenting Czar. In that time Wtizbold has ruled with an iron fist, wielding the ban hammer to dispatch Trolls, Flamers and Asshats in a flurry of bans. But now it's time to let Witz pass the hammer to his successor. No one can be expected to ban, and welcome new commenters for ever, not without shortening their lifespan.

So we're on the prowl for a comments moderator of sorts, a gatekeeper to Kotaku Tower, if you will. Someone who will prowl the posts and comments on a daily basis, weeding out the bad, helping out the conversation, anointing new readers.

We can only pay $200 a month for your help, but you do get to wield the mighty banhammer and will be given the keys to the commenting gates. If you remain interested, hit the jump for how to apply. Yes, there is a contest (of sorts) involved.

Kotakuite BrynnFlynn let us know that there's an eBay auction going on currently for a Disagea Prinny ... or is that a Witzbold?:

I was looking for something new and unique to crochet, and so I thought "Hey, why not make a little Prinny?" A few hours of mad crocheting and accidents later, I had a Prinny from the popular video game series Disgaea. Then I thought, "Hey, why not make it into a Witzbold?" Another hour of messing around with different yarns later, and I had a little replica of the infamous "Banhammer Wielder" from Kotaku.com, the most popular gaming website on the internet.

And there's even a crocheted ban hammer to go with it. Awwww. It can be yours for the current low low bid of $5.99, which is way, way cheaper than most of the crocheted curiosities we post.
