Unofficial Staff Application

[FallingSnow]

With a bit of shuffling around in the staff team as many of you have requested, we are looking for additional global moderators to help manage the forum. We have been discussing potential candidates for the open positions, but what we want to know is which of you are actually interested in taking on this job.

Some Job Functions:

• Moderating the forums! (Of course)
• Moving and locking topics
• Warning and banning users
• Contributing to forum discussions

Basic Requirements:

• Visiting the forums frequently
• Speaking politely to users
• Keeping a positive, constructive attitude
• Being able to accept criticism
• Have been around long enough to know generally how the forum is run
• Have a desire to help improve the community, whether through your ideas or modding ability
• Ability/willingness to frequently visit the Chat

Think you meet those requirements and are interested in the job? If that be the case, I would like you to send me a PM with your answers to the following questions. Your answers will go on to the rest of the staff to help in our decision-making on the new staff members.

1. Username:
2. Length of time in the community:
3. Any previous modding experience:
4. How often you visit the SMBX forums:
5. Generally what time of day you visit the forums (in Eastern time or UTC):
6. Why you would like this position:
7. Why you are a good fit for this position:
8. One thing you want to be changed for the forum:
9. How you would suggest that change is made:
10. Describe a situation you have been in that shows the qualities we are looking for in a moderator:

As the topic title says, this is an unofficial application. I asked for permission to handle this out of curiosity of who would be interested in modding here. I'm personally in charge of this topic, and all PMs should be sent to me.
This is not a topic for you guys to suggest who you think should become a moderator. I want those people to take it upon themselves to informally apply.

[Danny]

I sent in my application.

[Waddle]

I'll send mine soon, though I doubt I'll be chosen.

[Mable]

Done but it's probably poorly done like always... well, it's worth a try.

[Shadow Yoshi]

I added "Ability/willingness to frequently visit the Chat" to the requirements list.

[h2643]

You can send him an IRC PM, by typing /query <name>
Also, I think that we need more European staff, rather than American, in terms of staff activity.

[Vinyl Scratch]

I sent in my application.
If anybody does get moderator, then congrats to them.

I thought you left the forums.

This will give me reason to come back.

[Shadow Yoshi]

"I'm not going to be active unless I'm a staff member" is, uh...a good way to not get the job.

The way you make it come out to be makes me seem kinda like a spoiled child or something
I just want a reason to come back here maybe(?)

Eh it just looks weird at face value is all. If you think you can help out, by all means send an app in.

I'll send in my application sometime today even though I said I'd leave. I don't stick to my words very well.

[Zeldamaster12]

sent mine in late last night

That's not what I meant, but I see how you got there.

If being a staff member is the only reason you have to be active, then you shouldn't be a staff member. Does that make more sense?

I can sort of see where he's coming from, since to be quite honest there isn't much to do around here besides post things about SMBX or partake in Mafia. Most discussions are idle banter anyhow.

[JupiHornet]

Application sent!

Good luck to everyone else!

[Vinyl Scratch]

Sounds like a better way to put it Joey, thanks I guess
To be fair to myself though, I've been semi-posting as of lately, as in I'm here, just not here 24/7 like I usually am with most forums

[John The White Yoshi]

I'll send mine in ASAP. We honestly need some new staff members.

[JupiHornet]

When will the new mods be revealed?

[Zeldamaster12]

This isn't even an application to actually pick new mods, it's to see who's interested.
