Steve Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 It's that time of the year, folks We are in need to fill one of our moderation spots, which is full mod, but here's the kicker, we need someone that would be active on the Chatroom as well!. Here are the guidelines, (directly extracted from another topic). Either me or Redeemer will handle the applications, so the pm should be sent to us, not DZ. SFO Staff Selection Procedures: 1.The Lead Forum Admin will determine that there is a need for additional staff. 2.The Lead Forum Admin will announce to the community which positions are available, and will post the appropriate set of qualifications. 3.Members will submit applications via PM to the Moderation Admin. 4.Applications from members who do not qualify or who continuously beg for staff positions will be discarded. 5.The remaining applications will be posted to the staff board. 6.The staff members will voice recommendations as to which applicants are suited and which are not. 7.The Moderation Admin will select an appointee from the applicants. 8.The Moderation Admin will create a poll in the Announcements board for confirmation of the applicant. 9.The poll will remain open for one week (seven days). 10.The appointee will be confirmed as a staff member if more than 50% of the votes cast are for confirmation. 11.The new staff member will be given a copy of the staff guidelines. 12.Upon acceptance of the guidelines, the new staff member will be given access to all needed features and boards. Qualifications: Full Moderator: * Must be an active member for at least six months. * Must not have gotten into any major trouble with the staff * Knows the board rules and follows them * Has a good attitude * favorable reputation in the community Alright, remember, make sure you are qualified before applying. Remember, send the applications to me or Redeemer, not DZ. Application: I, _______________________________, hereby apply for the position of Full Mod at the Starfox-Online Forums. I understand that my application does not guarantee my acceptance, and that acceptance is based upon my qualifications and the choice of the Lead Administrator (DZComposer) or Moderation Administrators(Steve, Redeemer). I agree to follow all forum rules and abide by all staff guidelines, which will be provided upon my confirmation. I agree that I will continue to be an active member (at least two posts per week) of the forums during my time as a staff member.

sroberson Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Just curious, but is there a comprehensive list of rules regarding communication through the forums and the chat? Also, since it pertains to chat, about how often would this admin have to be in the chatroom moderating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Not all day, of course. We know how much you guys dwell around the chatroom soo, we are taking that in consideration . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Just to make it clear, I have delegated moderation staff selections to the Lead Moderator position, which is currently held by Steve. Thus, as he said, he is the one leading this. He and Red are handling it, but if an application lands in my inbox, I will forward it along. But, it is worth noting that failure to follow directions may negatively impact your chances of being selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidi Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Just a question out of curiosity; is age a factor when it comes to choosing moderators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 In theory no, but remember, you can't apply for mod unless you have been around the forum for at least 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidi Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 In theory no, but remember, you can't apply for mod unless you have been around the forum for at least 6 months. I had no intentions of doing so. Worry not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberson, did you take my posts and divide them? Or did you look at the posts I made this week. I kinda set myself a personal goal of making a ton of posts, but I do that on a lot of forums. Ah well!
