New Admins + Forum Mod Applications

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Mon Dec 22, 2014 4:55 pm

Post by mith »

With Flay stepping down as an admin, and with my wedding keeping me away from the site in the coming weeks, I have decided to add two new admins to the group: Thesp and zoraster.

Their primary role initially will simply be to have admin powers when they are needed (account activations, permission/group settings, that sort of thing). However, I would not have chosen them if I did not trust their decision-making and their desire to make this site a better place, and I fully expect that their roles will expand over time.

Additionally, we are looking for a new Forum Moderator, and are re-opening applications for that position. Please read below, and then PM me if you are interested, detailing why you are interested in the position, why you feel you are qualified, and how you feel your moderation style would mesh with the current group.

Considerations for All Positions:

  • If you have a flaking incident in your past, you need to have been back and active for a while, and convince me that you aren't going to randomly disappear again.
  • No problem behaviour on the forums; am willing to consider users with past problems that they have distanced themselves from, but you'll have to start small.
  • Looking for users who are reasonably intelligent, well-spoken, and respectful of others. If I've noticed that you are terrible at reading and following directions, I'm not going to trust you to keep things organized in a position that requires organization. If you are rude or obnoxious in communicating as a user, I'm not going to expect something more positive if you are given a position of responsibility.
  • Negatives: Immaturity; Grudges; Inability to act objectively.


Forum Moderator:

Responsibilities:

  • Monitor discussions in the non-Game forums (including Mafia Discussion) to ensure the Forum Rules are being followed.
  • View reported posts and take action as appropriate, including sending warnings and short-term non-game bans.
  • Delete or edit inappropriate posts.
  • Coordinate with the admins regarding larger or repeat problems, and recommend further action.
  • Recommend sub-forums as needed for particularly popular topics.
  • Participate in site policy discussions as needed by the administrators.

Qualifications:

  • Positives: Calm and reasoned posting; Respected by the users.

Let me be the first to say in this thread (since it's open, I presume we're welcome to do so here) congratulations to Thesp and zoraster!

Now, I haven't actually seen Thesp that much, but I know you do a fair amount of important stuff and everything I've seen from you is professional. And for you, zoraster, you were basically already an admin as far as I was concerned with how much you were involved with the site before and all the wonderful work you've done and how you've interacted with others and spoken for the moderators, so I know it's well-earned and long-coming from you! :) I think mith's made excellent selections indeed.

This feels like something that was done in private, saulres.

I'm just curious about why there is only one entry under qualifications?

I'm not really respected by the userbase, otherwise I might try my hand.

That is true. Depends on whether or not I can find a reasonable tethering data plan. I do have internet during christmas since im with my family.

Not applying is probably for the best.
