@@@the NEXT PHASE OF THE MOD SELECTION PROCESS HAS BEEN SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!@@@
Hello everyone! Yes, it's finally time to pick the next forum moderator! Moderators are an important aspect of the community because they help to maintain order on the forums when I am away, which, lately, is quite often. Currrently we have only one forum moderator, Mod Blackbolt, who has done and continues to do an exemplary job of moderating. However, I feel the forums have expanded enough, and we have enough people reaching the higher ranks such as StarClan Warrior, that it's time for another moderator!
However, you can't just post and expect to be granted moderator status. Moderators have to be honest, trustworthy people, who are also knowledgeable about the games and the two websites. My plan is to announce the new moderator sometime during the week following Christmas 2011, perhaps on New Year's Eve. First, the moderator candidates will have to go through a selection process.
If you think you have what it takes to be the next moderator, here's how you can enter into the selection process:
-First of all, don't even try to enter the selection process if you don't currently have StarClan Warrior status. This means 1000+ posts on the forums.
If you don't have 1000+ posts, don't worry. You will still have approximately two weeks to get there before the nomination deadline. If you are so far off from 1000 that it would be pretty much implausible to reach within two weeks, don't worry, and DON'T spam the forums to get 1000. There will be another opportunity to become a moderator.
-Secondly, you'll need to get nominated by fellow members of the community. You'll need four people to vouch for your nomination, at least three of them MUST be registered members, although ONE of them CAN be a guest. If a registered member attempts to vouch for themself as a guest, or vouch for somebody else a second time as a guest, I WILL know, and you'll received a temporary ban from the forums. You cannot vouch for yourself. Before anyone can vouch for you, you'll need to "enter yourself." Simply post on this thread, say something such as:
Hello, I'd like to enter myself for nomination. I'd make a good moderator because...blahblahblah. Add a few reasons, maybe link guides you've written, threads you started, videos you made, etc.
To vouch for someone's nomination, just post and say who you're vouching for. Everybody can only nominate one person, so chooose wisely. The only person who can't nominate is myself, as I feel that would be a little bit unfair.
-Finally, you'll need to know a bit about the games to become a moderator. It seems like if you're a StarClan warrior you'd obviously know a fair bit about the games already, but I'll be checking up on past activities just to be sure anyway. If I find any reason to make me think you don't know very much about the games, I might ask you to send in a savefile, but this is unlikely. Also, if your computer allows, you will need to have been somewhat active on the main site. Nothing much, just maybe answer a few questions there now and then. To check this I'll just CTRL + F your name on the "Ask Questions Here" and "Ask Questions Here (2)" posts in "Comments" on the main site.
The deadline for nomination will be around December 12th. It will most likely be a few days later, but I'm setting the estimate early so that I can promise it won't be any earlier. After the deadline, everyone who has been nominated will be entered as selections in a poll, and everyone will have a chance to vote. Whoever wins the poll will be the next moderator.
For more information, PM me, or for more information on being a moderator and what it entails, PM either me or Blackbolt.
