Now accepting applications for Moderator Positions

[Illuvatar]

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:
Gaming Haven: ( PC and Console Games, Trading Card Game, and Tabletop Battles are available!) (2 mods needed ).
Library of Minas Tirith: (All 5 forums are available!) (1 mod needed to work with MirkGirl)
Bag End: (The Professor, Art, and Fan Fiction are available!) (1 mod needed per forum to work with existing mods)
Dagorlad: The Battle Plain: (All 4 Armoury forums are available!) (2 mods needed to cover the Armoury in Orc's extended absence)

For the above forums that have multiple openings(Library, Gaming, Armoury), we don't actually need a different mod per forum. For example Mirgirl moderates the entire library, so when I say "1 mod needed ", that could very well be one person to be assigned to all the available forums, and would be the preferred approach.

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.
8. Be prepared to initiate topics on occasion (more important within "specialist" forums i.e. Armoury, Gaming).

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!

Will do, Illuvatar. I'd love to become apart of the staff, so this forum is a present from the Valar. Rock on my supreme adminastrative friend!


~BB~

[Bellilmadia]

[Illuvatar]

But keep your eyes open...you never know! :p

[Bellilmadia]

[RavenWingsofDarkness]

I'll keep my eyes open also......
@.@ I would like to a member
of the staff.

Raven

[Saruman]

It's a pity they're all filled at the moment... It takes the fun out of it! lol

[Friend of Maglor]

ya.... i'll have my eyes open too ;)

[RavenWingsofDarkness]

Yeah, it is a pitty that there all full but who's going to
get the job first........??????

[Friend of Maglor]

well you asked fist ;)

besides, we have to apply :angel:

[RavenWingsofDarkness]

Oh, were do we apply???
*stupid confused face*

[Friend of Maglor]

oh here, but there is nothing to appy for yet lol
i only meant that the admins pick from the applications.......

[RavenWingsofDarkness]

Oh, lol

[HobbitFriend]

Right, when there's an opening, Illu or one of the other administrators will post what forums they need moderators for. Then, if you're interested, you can PM your application to him :thumbs:

all the rules and how to apply etc. are posted on the first page ;)

[Adunauriel]

Yea, that's how you do it, thanks HobbitFriend.. Please, don't spam in this thread.. It's only for the posting of available Staff/Moderator positions..:grin:

[Radagast]

I have a question...

Purely curiosity... what do MoD's do.. I read what they do but.. tell me about a... everyday thing MoD's do?...

The only way y'all will be searching for new MOD's will be if someone resigns or theres a new Forum coming up right?

[Adunauriel]

Yes Mods are replaced if one resigns, or if a New Forum is created.. So you'll have to wait to see if a position needs to be filled.. What we do, is make sure that redundent threads arent created.. If a double posting happens we edit, or delete if necassary.. We also edit, if posts are concidered improper.. It's not really that difficult, and alot of fun...;)

[Radagast]

Oh okay Adun.. Sounds great.

[Nibinaraniel]

Hellu!!! I am here to apply, even though there seem to be no openings....

Do I take a number or something??

[Illuvatar]

lol.......

Well......you are correct....there be no openings at the moment.

However, when one does open up, I always post it here....and no....you need not take a number......all you have to do is apply. :p

[Nibinaraniel]

What do you need for applications?? Just curious....

[Adunauriel]

There is a rundown of what you need to include on the first page of this thread Nib... But I'll quote Illuvatar for you..;)
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 hope this will be helpful for you in the future..

[Feebeefi]

Do you have to be a certain age to be a moderater????

[Adunauriel]

I don't know for sure.. I don't think you have to be a certain age.. I do believe we have a moderator (Bonos-Girl) who's 15.. So I would say there isn't an age requirement..;)

[Bonos-Girl]

yeah...i thihnk i'm the youngest...i was a mod when i was 14...only turned 15 less than a month ago! there are some staff position (such as fan fic editor for the fan fic section) which require an older age because of the kinds of fanfic they might receive.

[Nibinaraniel]

*sits and waits for a opening.....* Lalalalala..... dododododo......dedededede........dumdumdumdum.... *twiddles her thumbs*

[Bonos-Girl]

yeah..i know its frustrating when there aren't any mod positions for a while...but good things come to those who wait ;) lol

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

I actually think I was 14 and 3 months when I was 'modded'... ;)

Okay...

I hope everyone that wants a modship gets on...There should be open positions soon...

[Feebeefi]

good good i'll keep my eye out for them;)

[RavenWingsofDarkness]

lol *sitting around next to Nibinaraniel*
Wow look at those dust bunnies fly!
:)

[Adunauriel]

Well, I don't think the wait will be too long.. Alhtho, your not really supposed to spam here.. So maybe you guys should just stop until Illu posts something..;)

[Illuvatar]

Howdie Folks!

I know that a few people have expressed interest in becoming part of the team lately! :p

If you haven't...... 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:
Behind the Scenes : (1mod needed to work with Hobbit).
Language : (1 mod needed to work with Wilwarin)
Roleplaying : (1 mod needed to work with Dawnnamira Nerwen)
The Professor: (1 mod needed to work with Periantari Andruil)

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

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. The set maximun length is 4 lines.
6. Watch for spamming or pointless posting.
7. When contacting a member in an official capacity, please identify yourself as mod, admin, etc.
8. Be prepared to initiate topics on occasion (more important within "specialist" forums i.e. The Professor, Behind the Scenes).

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.

[Nibinaraniel]

I would like to apply for the Behind the Scenes moderator position please...

[Frodo's Love]

Nib, you have to send Illu a PM with your application. :)

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.

[Illuvatar]

Thanks FL! :thumbs:

Yea....the applications must be via private message. Applications posted in this thread will NOT be considered.

[Illuvatar]

*bump*

[Feebeefi]

The people that apply but don't get the job, are they told or do they have to check it out in the Announcements forum??

[Illuvatar]

Once the application process is completed and positions filled, I normally try and contact the rest of the applicants and let them know that a decision has been made.

I also make the posts in the Announcements Forum so that's good as well. :p

[Feebeefi]

ok thanks Illu!:thumbs:
Also how long does the application process take??:)

[Illuvatar]

I plan to have this round of decisions completed not later than the 1st week of Decenmber.

[Dawnnamira Nerwen]

Which is next Monday!

Usually the process moves a little faster then this though

[Feebeefi]

OK THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!:grin: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

If so and you are interested in Tolkiens books, we are looking for a good man/woman to assume the role of Moderator here on the "Library of Minas Tirith" section of the boards. If the books aren't your thing, just keep an eye on this thread for future vacancies!

Formaly the position looks:
Library of Minas Tirith (All 5 forums available!) : (1mod needed to work with Mirkgirl (i.e. me lol).

We'd prefer one mod to cover the entire Library, with all the 5 forums, but of course partial applications will be considered as well.

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.

Osgiliath: Citadel of the Stars - General Cast Chat and I Love .............. : (1 mod needed to work with Adunauriel ) (we'd rather have one person for the whole forum instead of two)

Bag End - Poets Corner (1 mod needed to work with Lady Ashley )

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 (NOT Illuvatar) a Private Message indicating which forum(s) you are interested in, and why you feel that that particular forum 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. When correction is necessary, especially for a new poster, try to keep it private (through pm's) if at all possible.
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. The set maximun length is 4 lines.
6. Watch for spamming or pointless posting.
7. When contacting a member in an official capacity, please identify yourself as mod, admin, etc.
8. Be prepared to initiate topics on occasion (more important within "specialist" forums i.e. The Professor, Behind the Scenes).

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.

The 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 that comes from doing a good job, and being involved in one of the most popular Tolkien sites in the world!!

[Eldarin Princess]

I'm thinking about Osgiliath, but what if I can't come here every day, what about every other day?

Let's not be hasty.....:p

[Eldarin Princess]

[Mirkgirl]

[Lady Melanie]

[Nessa the Dancer]

Thanks for the intrest Andy ;)
All the mod positions have been filled for now, if more postions come up they will be posted here :)

[Ivanhoe]

What does a moderator actually do?

[Nessa the Dancer]

Moderators oversee specific forums. They generally have the ability to edit and delete posts, move threads, and perform other manipulations. Becoming a moderator for a specific forum is usually rewarded to users who are particularly helpful and knowledgeable in the subject of the forum they are moderating.


This is the Faq overview of what a moderator does, basically overseeing forums and making sure all is well and that threads are on track etc. also moving threads that have been put into the wrong forums, and using their knowledge in that area to assist members, so there are specific jobs that go with certain forums, in the Roleplaying forums for example the mods keep the Role plays and Out of Context threads on track, in the Games forum there are specific guidlines which the myself and Ami have to monitor, we also bring back old games that have fallen into the archives and revamp them and we also send out reminders to members about posting new questions or checking questions etc, so you can see that it really depends upon which forum a mod is to what their specific duties are.

Edit: I forgot the Moderator guidlines that will give you and idea as well

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. When correction is necessary, especially for a new poster, try to keep it private (through pm's) if at all possible.
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. The set maximun length is 4 lines.
6. Watch for spamming or pointless posting.
7. When contacting a member in an official capacity, please identify yourself as mod, admin, etc.
8. Be prepared to initiate topics on occasion (more important within "specialist" forums i.e. The Professor, Behind the Scenes).

[Ivanhoe]

sounds like fun

[Andy]

sounds like fun

It isn't. Well it depends where you mod. If it is somewhere with alot of arguements etc then it can be a tiring and stressful job. Places where I have modded seem to be more quite and peaceful which is what I prefer because being a mod isn't my primary task on a forum, posting is

[Laurelin]

It can be rewarding too though. ;)

[Andy]

It can be rewarding too though. ;)

Editing posts by accident an added reward :p

[Laurelin]

lol Well, hopefully that doesn't happen to much. ;)

[Andy]

lol
It seems the mods here don't have to deal with flame wars much as everybody seems to get along, which I prefer

[Laurelin]

Yes, you are right about that Andy. We don't suffer fools in that area. Flames are put out quickly that way all can enjoy the serenity and friendliness of this place. veryhappy Hostile environments are not fun to be in methinks. ;) We always try to make this place better and in doing so we try our best to be open to suggestions.

[Andy]

Exactly, I like how you have a section for vacancies and site information where members can help. and suggestion threads. Very good idea. Plus, the mods to a good job for what I've seen of the. About the fames, I have seen a few threads where members actually hold back for saying something because they know the consequences.
Sorry for going off topic!

[Nessa the Dancer]

Thank you Andy :grin:

Well the topic of this thread is really to post any moderator vacancies ;) since there isn't any at the moment and the question posted here has been answered it might be best to leave it there.

[Nala Greenleaf]

is there a certain age you have to be in order to help out?? :huh:

[Nessa the Dancer]

No. Some area's of the site ie the Fanfiction area (not the forum) require the workers there to be over 18 because of content of some of the fanfics that may get submited, and other areas my require certain knowledge but for the forums no, there is no set age for that.

[Nala Greenleaf]

so if there is a vacancy i can get a place???? WOW that is sooooooo cool!!!! i would love that!:grin:

[Nessa the Dancer]

You could apply certainly, and your application would be considered along with the others.

[Nala Greenleaf]

thats fantastic i will have to kepp my eyes wide open and send in an application as soon as possible! :grin:

[Illuvatar]

We have an opening for a moderator in our Language Forum. This is a specialised area of the boards, and we are looking for someone who is proficient in the Sindarin language to fill the position vacated by Wilwarin.

The reuirements are as follows:

Applicants should have at least 6 months of Sindarin study, either with the Sindarin Course at Council of Elrond, or the one at elvish.org. A description of your Sindarin learning: where you've learned it, for how long they've been studying, that sort of thing.

Also if you would do a little test for us that would be great as it would help a lot to determine your skill at translating.

Translate the following names into Sindarin: Elizabeth "God is My Oath", Luke "bringer of light", Albert "bright nobility".

Translate the following phrase into Sindarin: "Don't wait for your ship to come in if you haven't sent one out."

Translate the following Sindarin phrase into English: "Boe geri ross a glawar an ninniach."

If you have any experience translating on other sites, we would love to have a link to it as Wilwarin will be assisting in the selection of her replacement and would love to see your skills in action. :p

If this is something you'd be interesting in, if you have the time to devote, and you'd like to become part of the team, then please provide the answers to the short quiz above along with your qualifications in a Private Message to me.

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you! :grin:

[Nala Greenleaf]

aw its a vacancy but i dont have the skill to sign up! :( nevermind sorry illu but right now my language skills lie in learning the beautifully comlex language of Arabic will wait patiently for something i can do tho. :)

[Randiriel of Wilderland]

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. When correction is necessary, especially for a new poster, try to keep it private (through pm's) if at all possible.
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. The set maximun length is 4 lines.
6. Watch for spamming or pointless posting.
7. When contacting a member in an official capacity, please identify yourself as mod, admin, etc.
8. Be prepared to initiate topics on occasion (more important within "specialist" forums i.e. The Professor, Behind the Scenes).

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.

The 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 that comes from doing a good job, and being involved in one of the most popular Tolkien sites in the world!!

Hello there Ringers

I know some of you want to become a part of the team. If you haven't thought about it yet...... 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 good men/women to assume the role of Moderator here on the boards. We have a couple of fourms up for moderation.

Bree - The Prancing Pony (1 mod needed to work with SamwiseAtHeart)

Bag-End - Music (1 mod needed to work with Feebeefi)

Bag-End - The Proffessor (1 mod needed to work with Periantari Andruil)

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 (NOT Illuvatar) a Private Message indicating which forum(s) you are interested in, and why you feel that that particular forum 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.
