Hugh Laurie - Moderator Opening Announcement

***Chris*** · 06-11-2010, 02:36 PM

Hi everyone!

We currently have an open moderator position on this message board. If you'd like to apply for this position, please go to the Moderator Application Process - How to Apply & Questions Answered thread and follow the instructions to apply to be a moderator on this board. Please note that the deadline to get applications in is 12:00 PM GMT on June 25th. If you had applied the last time there were moderator openings here, you'll need to reapply, as we don't keep old applications in case people are no longer interested in the position. If you don't receive a confirmation Private Message within 24 hours after you send in your application, please send a Private Message to Chris.

Thank you, and good luck to everyone who applies!

Muahahaha. I doubt I'll get picked, but I applied anyway. I don't think I'd been a member long enough when I applied last time. Get ready!

Good luck to everyone

Like Chris has said in the opening of this thread, all the information that Anyone needs can be found in this thread Moderator Application Process - How to Apply & Questions Answered

It tells you exactly what the Mod Managers & Admins look at for anyone who applies for the job. I'm going to quote it here in case you all just don't clink on that link

Quote:

The Qualities We Look For in an Applicant

The Management Team has often been asked what kind of qualities we look for in a candidate applying to moderate a board. Listed below are a general list of questions that we commonly ask when reviewing each person's application:

1. How long has the candidate been a member at Fan Forum?
[You must have been a registered member of Fan Forum for at least six months to be qualified for the position]

2. How many posts does the candidate have?
[This is important, we feel, because we want any potential moderator candidate to be an active poster here.]

3. What did the candidate say about himself or herself in their application?

4. Does the candidate start threads on the board that he or she wants to moderate?

5. Does the candidate participate on a variety of threads on the board that he or she wants to moderate, or do they mostly post on just one thread, like a shipper thread?
[We want the applicants to have a solid history of posting on a variety of threads so that they are already well known on the board. Posting on a variety of threads shows a true interest in the whole board and not just a certain thread. Moderators should be posters who are genuinely interested in the future and activity of the whole board. A moderator should lead a board by example in being more active in discussion threads than game type threads. We want the moderators to welcome newbies, to answer questions, to know their posters, and to encourage others to post valid discussions. These qualities should be demonstrated by the applicants before they are appointed]

6. Has the candidate been posting on the board that they want to moderate for a long time, or did they just start posting after the Moderator Opening Announcement was posted?
[We consider this to be very important, because some people will apply to moderate a board simply so they can have the title of Moderator under their name, even though they had never posted on the board that they applied to moderate. We think that appointing someone to moderate a board who had never posted on that board would be extremely unfair to the regular posters who did post on that board, especially if one of the regular posters applied for that board. When looking for a moderator, we look for someone who has a long history of posting at the board. We want someone who has been at the board, posting consistently, and is a part of the current posting community. Ideally, we want moderators to post on their boards as often as possible, or at least every other day, unless you post that you're going to be away. Therefore, ideally, the applicant would be someone who posts at the board almost every day.]

We hope all this gives you a better idea of how the moderator application process is performed.

The imporant thing to remember is that if you have questions all you have to do is ask in either thread : )

I wish the Best of Luck to all of you who applied.

Getting Hugh "under you" is an experience like no other

.

I remember getting Hugh "under me" and the excitement I felt for that honor. Yvonne, Aroa and Jen know that feeling I'm talking about

It's a little silly I know but it's true

to you all!

**sam_doc** · 06-26-2010, 05:19 AM

^Kali, I know you love having Hugh under you

to you too and good luck to all who have applied

**Grace Like Rain** · 06-26-2010, 05:59 AM

I really do!

and it's really exciting to see it happen to someone else. It's like that with all the boards because the excitement is contagious
