Now accepting moderator applications

Dev AndrewGarrison  1.8 years ago

Edit: We have enough applications for now. Thank you everyone!

Now that summer is in full swing, we would like to add a new moderator to SimplePlanes.com. We are looking for people with the following qualities:

  1. Active on the site
  2. Knows the site well
  3. Must have a level head. You must be able to prevent and resolve conflict....not participate in it.

Here's what the job looks like:

  1. Check the mod queue often and deal with reported posts and comments
  2. Ideally the job will take less than 30 minutes per day for all moderators
  3. You get the cool red mod flair
  4. This is a volunteer job. You can quit any time, just give us a heads up!

If you are interested, please fill out this application. Thanks!

Edit: We have enough applications for now. Thank you everyone!

    Well joke or no joke, as I said to asteroidbook345 this is a serious job, being a mod you have the power and choices to make, it's not a oh yeah well you need to have problem solving, good communication skills, keeping a cool head your self and lastly being a mod is to also show the community that hey even though we do have to deleate posts, ban users and all of that that we can have fun as well but in a responsible manner. @XtarsAgency

    Yeah bots are bots. The main point is as you said the bots have to be programmed and if people are going to go to the extreme lengths of programming bots, what else do they think? @asteroidbook345

    @Numbers2 bots wouldn’t be able to apply for moderator positions since they’d have to also be programmed not just to upvote but to fill out Google forms, and you had to put your name, email etc so they’d have to go to incredible lengths

    @asteroidbook345 It may look a stretch and I do agree but you never know what people think these days, just knowing my experience with bots on the site such as that lawyer user and the other craziness that happens here.

    @Numbers2 eh maybe, that seems like a stretch though.

    I wonder as well if people have set up "fake accounts" (people who never wanted to be on this website as a user) and put in a mod application. Whilst there is 66 upvotes some of them are either mods or devs and 55+ more just users, then you also have a countless of other people who look at the post, but the number of times your forum gets looked at never shows, so this would be interesting in terms of the real amount of applicants. @asteroidbook345

    If they do that's abuse of power and you don't have to worry about that all the mods are selected very carefully @XtarsAgency

    @Bellcat I am very very aware of that, I know personally a lot of people who would just want to be a mod to ban everyone they don't like

    @Bellcat I asked Pedro how many people applied, a lot of people did, it will probably be another day or two until someone is chosen, and a day or two after that for it to be official

    @asteroidbook345, @V, being a moderator is considered a prestigious job by parts of the community and brings a lot of privileges not available to normal users, so do not be surprised when a number of applications were made by users who want nothing but power grab.

    I’m betting this will go to another well known plat player.
    And rightfully so
