Hello everyone!
Since having the forums restructured, one thing we have wanted to do is get new moderator applications for the forums. As we need additional help, we will be able to choose from current applications. There are a few things you need review, to see if you would be a good candidate for being a forums moderator.
Here are a few examples:
That being said, we would like to open applications to everyone. If you are interested, see the application below. Make sure to fill out all sections. Also, remember all staff members are volunteers.
Please submit your applications Here, by creating a new thread using the format: "(Your Username) Forum Moderator Application" for the thread name and insert your username where specified! Remember, DO NOT share your application with anyone else and DO NOT comment about it in this thread. Doing so will result in your application being VOID. The last chance to submit your applications will be Saturday, April 30th at 11:59PM EST.
We look forward to reviewing them all, and thank you in advance to all who apply!
Since having the forums restructured, one thing we have wanted to do is get new moderator applications for the forums. As we need additional help, we will be able to choose from current applications. There are a few things you need review, to see if you would be a good candidate for being a forums moderator.
Here are a few examples:
- Can you dedicate a good amount of time to moderating the forums and helping keep it a fun, safe, and appropriate place to be? A good amount of time would be considered around a minimum of 2 hours a day, although you wouldn't have to be on for 2 hours straight most of the time! Just as long as you can be on throughout the day at different times or whenever able!
- Do you feel comfortable being completely anonymous? Are you able to keep your identity secret from all of your friends, as well as other players, no matter how tempting it may be?
- Are you comfortable with technology? You will have to learn how to use the forums software quickly. This includes handling reports professionally, controlling spam, making sure members are following the MyVMK Forums Rules, infracting members if necessary, etc... the list goes on! Don't worry though, we will teach you the ropes and offer help along the way!
- Do you understand English fluently? This is the only language used on the forums for writing up infractions, responding to anyones questions, reports, and most importantly, reading and understanding what members post.
- Can you read threads all the way through without getting bored and wanting to skip a few posts? If not, then this position probably isn't for you. Part of being a forum moderator is reading threads completely to make sure everything complies with the MyVMK Forums Rules.
That being said, we would like to open applications to everyone. If you are interested, see the application below. Make sure to fill out all sections. Also, remember all staff members are volunteers.
