  • Call for Extra Moderator's... ~CLOSED~

    ~~ Applications CLOSED ~~


    Pradopoint is getting to a point it is getting too large to handle comfortably with the amount of current moderators we have. We all have personal lives and for some finding the time to help out is getting harder and harder.

    We are therefore seeking expressions of interest from PP members that may wish to help out moderating the forum.

    This is IN NO WAY offering you the entrance to the following: PoWeR! / a boys club / Clicky group, whatever...
    More it is a time consuming job, that has to be taken seriously and with a totally un-biased reaction to most situations.
    It is not fun, i can tell you, it is easier with more active moderators, but there is still plenty of work to be done.

    YOU will need:
    • Experience with internet forum software (PHP BB / VBulletin etc). [/*:m:13abxvko]
    • A sound understanding of the internet and computer skills.[/*:m:13abxvko]
    • Good grammar. [/*:m:13abxvko]

    • Patience when dealing with people.[/*:m:13abxvko]
    • A calm manner and clear communication skills.[/*:m:13abxvko]
    We seek people with the above criteria to help out with the following positions:
    • New Member approvals moderator.
      [/*:m:13abxvko]
    • General board moderator.
      [/*:m:13abxvko]
    • For Sale section moderator.[/*:m:13abxvko]


    Training online will be supplied to you as well as online support thru the ADMIN area.

    We have decided to have certain moderators that can only access certain sections, this will make it easier as you wont have the entire board to over see.
    EG. For sale will only have access to For sale and ADMIN forums in their moderator mode.

    If you feel you have the skills required (AND TIME) please PM your information to me. The PM title is to be: FORUM MODERATOR POSITION please.

    Make sure to include your past history and experience with PHP BB / approximate time you access the internet per week / skillset and anything else you feel may help us out.

    Thanks.

    Questions may be posted in this thread

    Will be closing this one off for applications on Xmas day.. (Yes I have no life)..

    What amount of time per week spent moderating would you see as being the norm?

    Cheers,

      It can vary, in my position an hour a day minimum.. A moderator once we sort the ppl out into various dedicated areas, maybe an hour a week. Or less or more, its difficult to estimate sadly!

        If its anything like the other forum I help moderator, it can be 5 minutes one day, and 2-3 hours the next day. I really depends on the masses and if they plan to behave or make life difficult for the moderators. It also depends if there is a controversial thread on the run that needs a lot of watching, action, etc. At the end of the day, how long is a piece of string?

              Dave, it is very easy. If I could do it anyone can. You will make a very good moderator.

                            OK.

                            7 of the applicants have been added to a new group (Approval's Moderator)

                            They will notice they have a new section they can access at the bottom of the site (Admin control panel) if I have set it up right!

                            I am stretched right now but will PM you all to show you how it all works and what we expect of you. (Probably later tonight).

                            If you notice anything now workingplease PM me.

                            Cheers

                            TP

                            Note: We will be adding some more mods for other features shortly or moving some around. More to come!
