Howdie Folks!

Are you looking to become more involved here at WotR? do you spend a lot of time on the boards? More importantly are you a team player?

If so, we are looking for a few good men/women to assume the role of Moderator here on the boards. We have a few forums available at this time in need of moderation. They are: Poets Corner, Art, Music, and Gaming Haven ( All 4 forums in the Haven are available!).

I've listed the guidelines for moderation below. Please review them and If you are still interested, then here's how it works:

Send me a Private Message indicating which forum(s) you are interested in, and why you feel that that particular forum(s) would be a good fit for you. Please include any previous Moderator experience that you have if any, and what site it was at.

I will then post your qualifications in the Staff area of the Forum(which is hidden from regular members) and let the staff screen the qualifications and assist in the decision making process.

When accepted and assigned, you will be notified via PM, and an announcement will be made in the Announcements forum. Also, replies to this post, and or nominations will NOT be accepted as a valid application.

Here are the guidelines:

1. Review the forums that you are responsible for at least once per day.
2. Always be courteous and polite even when reprimanding people. Try to persuade gently at first rather than barging in. If in doubt get someone else's opinion.
3. Do not allow any swearing
4. Do not let people get too off track with topics, this can ruin a forum, especially for those going in to read a thread later.
5. Keep an eye on people's signatures, do not let them be too long or use anything offensive there as well.
7. Watch for spamming.

Please bear in mind that as moderators and administrators we are the public face of the site, and so have the responsibility to lead by example. Our treatment of our members, and our behaviour within the forums reflects directly on the site as a whole. As such, we should always treat others with the same respect and consideration that we expect for ourselves.

Fatty, myself and the other Admins cannot be everywhere at once, so we value our mods and count on them to keep the place running smooth. Bearing this in mind, please apply ONLY if you honestly feel that you can dedicate the time necessary to do the job.

As always, there is no monetary compensation, but we do have other bennies like custom titles and avatars. The real reward for working on War of the Ring is the satisfaction from doing a good job and being involved in what we hope will be a great site!

I would love to be a mod. please. I know I am supposed to be helping out with the Elijah stuff... but obviously that doesn't require being staff... and I would really like to be an official part of the site... I'd appreciate it.

hello Illu. i was wondering about something. i was looking at each of the vacant spots, and I noticed that the roleplaying area does not show a moderator. is there a moderator for this one? catz posted in there once, so maybe that is the mod? just curious. but, you probably would have mentioned it above if there was a vacancy for it.

Hey Firith!!

Actually, what I posted was that the ENTIRE Gaming Section is available! lol

Sorry I wasn't more descriptive, but that means that ALL fourms in that area are available for moderation.

In fact, I am keen on having two mods minimum for each forum so as to provide decent coverage!

Drop me a line ifin your interested!

Well Lissuin,

I really don't think so. A member in good standing is a member in good standing.

Please feel free to apply! :cool:
