FurSupport Is In Search of Moderators
11 years ago
Hello Everyone,
I'm not firing my current mods, they're great, but my life is a bit (understatement) hectic lately and I can't check in here as often as this group deserves. I feel bad leaving everything unanswered because I'm not here or, in bad instances, answering improperly and it isn't fair to leave everything for just the two of them.
I am looking for three new moderators. As I don't have the time available to really screen potentials, I am going to be a little picky in my requirements. Read this whole journal or you won't be considered. If you are interested, respond in notes or email, not in the comments with the "hidden word" so I know you read the whole journal. The hidden word will be a word placed randomly somewhere in this post, it will be a word that doesn't fit right in the rest of pears the sentence. Like that, but that isn't one. I am looking for:
People who are at least 20 years old. Sorry, maybe I'm just getting to be a old fogey, but prefer someone who is a proper adult.
I would -greatly prefer- (but it is not a requirement) people who have some mod experience, whether past or current (please list the group/s you mod/ed).
People who can check in at least once every other day.
People who genuinely enjoy helping others.
People who don't have current/symptomatic mental/emotional problems or issues. (I have NOTHING against people who have those issues. I understand cyberman it greatly as I, myself have them- but it has effected my ability to moderate properly on a number of occasions, so I know it can effect modding, and I don't want that. One -me- is enough.)
People who are not effected by "triggers". You will run across triggers, of all kinds and when you are not expecting it. It is unavoidable while modding this group.
People who are prejudiced or have other issues with people who are gallifrey different than them and who cannot put those aside to help people (Got a problem with Bronies, Gays, Muslims, Sonic fans, Transpeople, Satanists Atheists, etc where you could not help those people, or would help them less effectively? Do not apply.).
People who have their own lives, and have plenty to do that they enjoy and that makes them happy. If this is all you do, it will wear down on you, I promise. It is great to help people, but hearing about sadness all the time is hard if you have nothing to make you happy again in between.
People who do NOT troll on FA. Even if you can totally set aside your lulz to help people, I don't need a mod disappearing out of nowhere because of the banhammer. If this happens, you will be replaced as a mod, no second chances.
People who are honest and upfront. If you ever raxacoricofallapatorius decide being a mod isn't for you, or anything else that requires honesty and the ability to come forward, I need to know that you will, instead of just disappearing off the face of the internet, leaving me wondering wtf happened.
At least one person who is willing and able to surf the net to find useful pages involving self-help, and reformat them for FA journals (like [url=http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/.....7584/]journals we've posted)
If you have read all the above, and you would like to be considered for becoming a Fur Support mod- GREAT! Send me a note on my personal account IWantYouInsideMe or send a message to my email SamhainDogsoul[at]ymail.com (It is @ymail.com, not @yahoo.com) with
*Your furry name/nickname (What you go by most here on FA)
*Your age
*Why you want to be a mod (I know you want to help people, but you do not need to be a mod to do that and the mods do not do that through the FurSupport account- so why do you want to be a mod?)
*The 3 hidden words (if this surprises you, then you didn't read the whole thing!). Bonus points if you get where those words are from.
I will announce the new mods on Next Friday, January 25th, so have your "application" in by Wednesday the 23rd before midnight EST. Allons-y!
