Think you have what it takes to help SBG? We need a moderator!!! You will work closely with admins and other mods here.
… have previous forum moderation or posting experience, especially with Vubulletin forums although it is not necessary
… have been regular or semi-regular readers of this site for at least 30 days
… can be decisive, fair, consistent, and mature in moderating forum posts
… expect to participate actively in the forums themselves, at least daily
… willing to help make SBG Grow
… are at least 18 years old
… have strong English skills (people from all countries are welcome)The main reason We are 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 often and use the built-in moderation functions to handle any problems that come up. You’ll automatically receive an email 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. You’ll also be able to send private messages to members. The forums will require registration with an image-based verification process for all members, so you shouldn’t have to worry about automated spam attacks.
Depending on how many qualified people apply to be moderators and how popular the forums become, we could have multiple moderators per forum or multiple forums per moderator.
If you decide you no longer wish to moderate, you can quit at any time. I just ask that you give is reasonable notice (two weeks would be great) to find a suitable replacement
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. Great moderators are active in their forums, and they love seeing their communities blossom. An active moderator has tremendous influence over the type of community that evolves. 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
Send a PM to R1Gurl or L♥VE or Playfulgod or Sic-0 with
some basic info about yourself
previous forum moderation experience you’ve had (or why you’d make a good moderator)
which particular forum(s) you’d most enjoy moderating
why you’d like to be a moderator We have no idea how many people will apply, so we don’t know how selective we will have to be, but once all the moderators have been selected, we will train them in using VBulletin’s moderation features as needed (it’s fairly straightforward and easy to learn).
Good Luck and We can't wait to welcome one of you to our team!
