First off, we would like to give a fond farewell to @Quicksilver. He has decided to step down as a moderator and is off to save the world! His words, not mine 
That being said, we would like to welcome @Merida (previously known as Belle) to the moderator team! Give her a warm welcome, and be patient as she learns the ins and outs of being a moderator.
CHECK THIS OUT: We would also like for anyone who is interested in being a moderator to please resubmit a new application! While moderator applications have not been closed since May, we realize that a LOT can happen in 5+ months and we'd like for everyone to resubmit an application.
Here is a checklist of things to keep in mind:
-->You should be able to spend at a minimum of two hours on the forums on most days. Some days you won't need to be on more than 30 minutes (off and on throughout the day). Other days you might need to spend more time.
-->You should have a good understanding of the English language; all of what we do here on the forums is in English, from writing up infractions to reading things posted by forum members.
-->You will be required to be professional and courteous when dealing with issues that arise on the forums. This means being able to write a reply to a concern someone might have about something on the forums and doing so without spelling errors or coming across as sounding mean/condescending, etc.
-->You must be comfortable with technology. You will have to learn how to use XenForo, infract members, handle reports, remove spam correctly...all kinds of things! We'll teach you how, but you need to be comfortable learning new things.
-->You must be okay with being anonymous, and good at keeping your identity a secret.
-->If you got bored halfway through reading this and ended up skimming most of it, working as a forum staff is probably not a good fit for you. You must be able to spend time reading lengthy posts made by members of this community. Not interested in reading how JaneDoe123's dog Spot ran across the street and was almost hit by a car in a 4 paragraph post filled with typos and unspoilered GIFs? Don't apply for this job!
If after reading all of the above and you are still interested in becoming a forum staff member, please fill out the application below in its entirety.
Please make sure that you fill out EACH SECTION before submitting your application! There are TWO (2) sections and THREE (3) scenarios, for a total of 5 different sections to fill out.
**NOTE** Even if you applied in the past, this is a new application, so please re-apply here again! You can re-apply with the same answers you used in the past, but feel free to update/change as you see fit!
Please post the application here:
Forum Moderator Applications
You can title the new thread "Forum Moderator Application [username]" and insert your own username.
DO NOT SHARE YOUR APPLICATION ANYWHERE ELSE. Do not post your application on this thread!
Anyone who does either of these things will be disqualified from a forum moderation position.
We are not planning on a specific amount of persons to hire, nor are we saying when we will hire someone. When we do hire someone, an announcement will be made. And remember the word "hire" here is used loosely, as we are all volunteers. If you have any additional questions, please ask on this thread.
Thanks so much for your interest in being a forum staff member and your participation in this community!
