DZComposer Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Rule number one about becoming a staff member: DO NOT BEG. Beggars get their applications deleted without consideration. Staff members are selected based on need and openings. If you want to be a mod, the first thing to do is check the staff roster thread for positions marked "OPEN." That doesn't mean that they will be filled, but if you want to be a full mod, and there are no OPEN spots, then sorry, it won't happen unless the community grows to a point that more mods are needed or if a mod resigns. Once you have determined an opening, wait for the announcement. When the announcement is made, an application will be posted. Fill it out and PM it to me. IF THERE IS NO ANNOUNCEMENT, THE POSITION IS NOT BEING FILLED. ONLY MODS CAN BECOME ADMINS! SFO Staff Selection Procedures: 1.The Lead Forum Admin will determine that there is a need for additional staff. 2.The Lead Forum Admin will announce to the community which positions are available, and will post the appropriate set of qualifications. 3.Members will submit applications via PM to the Lead Forum Admin. 4.Applications from members who do not qualify or who continuously beg for staff positions will be discarded. 5.The remaining applications will be posted to the staff board. 6.The staff members will voice recommendations as to which applicants are suited and which are not. 7.The Lead Forum Admin will select an appointee from the applicants. 8.The Lead Forum Admin will create a poll in the Announcements board for confirmation of the applicant. 9.The poll will remain open for one week (seven days). 10.The appointee will be confirmed as a staff member if more than 50% of the votes cast are for confirmation. 11.The new staff member will be given a copy of the staff guidelines. 12.Upon acceptance of the guidelines, the new staff member will be given access to all needed features and boards. SFO Staff Qualifications: Full Moderator: * Must be an active member for at least six months. * Must not have gotten into any major trouble with the staff * Knows the board rules and follows them * Has a good attitude * favorable reputation in the community Fanwork/RP Moderator: * Must be an active member for at least six months and active in RP at SFO or elsewhere (Proof must be provided) for at least three months. * Is willing to read through RPs and Fanfics, even if they are not interesting * Must not have gotten into any major trouble with the staff * Knows the board rules and follows them * Has a good attitude * favorable reputation in the community Administrator * Must be an active Full Moderator for at least one year. * Performed all duties autonomously and with good discretion * Abides by the Staff Guidelines * Has not used mod powers in an inappropriate manner * Has Good Attitude * favorable reputation in the community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Julius Quasar Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I personally don't think I have what it takes to be a mod, and I don't think I want that kind of responsibility... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonicDaMan Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I would like to be a mod, but I probably and up breaking the rules myself. Also, some people would think of me as this big giant **** that has nothing to do all day but give them warnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 We are only looking for a RP mod right now and probably someone to fill my old position as well ( in the months to come, I assume) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Right. There are no openings now. I just posted this as a series of "How Do I..."s to populate this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlliedDan Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 ohh not my forte. I enjoy simple membership and the freedom to post when and where I see fit. also it requires quite a bit of work. so yes I am unfit for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy simple membership and the freedom to post when and where I see fit. also it requires quite a bit of work. so yes I am unfit for the job. Same with me...plus, as mentioned before, I got too many skeletons in my closet, I could never be...a cop, a boss, a teacher, a politician/statesman/official, a parent...a celebrity/actor, etc. I sure as heck can't be a mod or admin... but...meh, I still love it here, I joined because I love Star Fox, and this is a safe, civilized online community...no trolls, cyberbullies, etc. there are some online communities I've been to where the most unqualified, meanest, most horrible people ever born get to be mods, admins, etc. But that ain't the case here, thank God. :krystal: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner/Technical Admin Sideways Posted June 22, 2009 Owner/Technical Admin Share Posted June 22, 2009 This place is relatively quiet. I'm disappointed that some of the members I knew when I joined have disappeared into the void. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Para Astaroth Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I know I've done some bad things that were inflammatory, so I know my chance at being a mod has been shot from my hands.(I know, the date exceeds 30 days, but I had to have my say in this. Sorry, guys) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Actually, having a second RP mod to backup Sideways wouldn't be a bad idea, at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Para Astaroth Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Oooh an RP Mod you say? What's that? (Sorry, I don't get out much, [i live in a barn, just kidding])It's like one of the mods on this website, but keeps a VERY CLOSE tabb on the rp's. It's like what Sideways does about approving, and disapproving, certain RP's the members here request. Ex: Starfox: Quantum Flux requested by RedPhoenix, later excepted by Sideways; Starfox Starfleet (I think that's the title...?) Forgot who requested it, Sideways accepted, and took part in it.

DZComposer Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 this isn't supposed to be a discussion thread...If you want to discuss adding more staff members, please create a thread for it in the form sub-board of the SFO Stuff board.
