We're recruiting (Read 746 times)

[admin]

We are looking for two new moderator positions to be filled on the forum, which would require applicants to:

• Have previous forum moderation experience, especially YaBB forums, though this is not essential
• Have been regular or semi-regular readers of this site for at least 90 days and have 100 posts or more
• Can be decisive, fair, consistent, and mature in moderating forum posts
• Expect to participate actively in the forums themselves, at least daily
• Have a passion for personal growth
• Are at least 18 years old
• Have strong English skills (people from all countries are welcome)

The main reason we're looking for people with previous moderation experience isn’t because forum moderation is technically difficult. It’s because moderation requires a certain degree of maturity and wisdom, and those qualities take experience to build. The moderator’s decisions, or lack thereof, can make or break a forum. So even if you lack specific forum moderation experience, feel free to apply if you think you have equivalent life experience appropriate to the task.

What does moderation involve?

Basically you check the forums at least once a day and use the built-in moderation functions to handle any problems that come up. You’ll automatically receive a notification whenever a forum member reports a problem, so in many cases you’ll be alerted to problems before you even visit the site.

Your privileges will include the ability to delete, close/re-open, and move threads and posts.

If you decide you no longer wish to moderate, you can quit at any time. I just ask that you give me reasonable notice (two weeks) to find a suitable successor.

Why become a moderator?

Anyone who’s moderated a forum already knows how rewarding it can be. If your goal is to fill an ego-based need like status or popularity, you probably won’t make a good moderator. A good reason to become a moderator is that you love helping people and are looking for an outlet to contribute. If there’s anything you’ll get out of being a moderator, it’s that you’ll build stronger communication and leadership skills.

How to apply?

Click on the following link and fill out the details required, then sit back and relax whilst we process your application. This will take between 5 and 10 working days. We will notify you either way, whether if you have been successful or not.
