#Recruitment is currently closed. Thanks to everyone who applied!


Hello again, Boards!

It’s time for another Volunteer Moderation Team recruitment thread!

This time we’re doing things a little differently. If you think you’re a good fit, hop onto our Moderator Discord, verify your account, and then ping @Moderator in the #Moderation-Recruitment channel. A member of the volunteer team will pull you into a room to chat for a bit, and we’ll get back to you on Discord if we think you’re what we’re looking for. Note that, as we are a volunteer team (and there is a major US holiday this weekend), you might not get an immediate response, but we will try to get to everyone as quickly and efficiently as we can. It's a bit of an experiment, so bear with us.

#What We’re Looking For

  • A good understanding of the Board Rules and the Summoner’s Code, and a willingness to enforce both on the Boards.
  • A desire to help keep the boards ship-shape (well, board-shaped) through active moderation.
  • An interest in generally improving the Board Community.
  • The ability to work in a team environment.
  • The ability to make independent decisions and utilize moderator discretion, and a willingness to discuss your decisions later if the need arises.
  • An understanding that, as part of your moderation responsibilities, you may sometimes be asked to enforce rules or accept decisions that you may not personally fully agree with.
  • Good conflict resolution and de-escalation skills.
  • The ability to both give and accept constructive feedback.

#Nifty Bonuses

  • A good posting history, free of serious violations.
  • A strong, largely positive community presence.

Looking forward to chatting with you, and ask any questions you might have below!

##--The Volunteer Team

Not sure if I qualify but I have the motivation and most of the skills necessary.

I'd consider myself to apply to that, but there are three things that really disqualify becoming a mod:

  • I don't like the way moderators are not supported in what they do. No appreciation and no way to revamp the boards in a way you think is better for boards as a discussion plattform.
  • I don't agree to the laissez-faire rules that are the reason why gameplay boards are such a huge mess and no matter how hard you dislike the toxicity there - a mod is not allowed to remove the most shit as long as they're not asking someone to die.
  • Even though I'm lurking here quite regularly, I don't like to put myself in a position where I'm required to be active at some point. I'm one of those guys that takes their duty very seriously IF they opt into one.

I get the norm is wait for people to show interest, but have you all ever approached someone or dropped a hint to those you want to apply?

A good posting history, free of serious violations.

Oof

Is a perma suspension considered a serious violation O_o (if it was revoked 2 years ago?)

Myrmiron3/30/2018, 12:07:13 PM3 votes

Take me and I'll permaban anyone posting that they're permab& ingame and move all the garbage threads to Memes & Games!

Hohoho, I aint fallin for this again.

Rejection isn't gonna be more fun the third time bucko.

I'd like to be a mod, I have experience moderating forums and actively visit the board, but I'm not even sure those things matter.

I'll still look but I aint gettin my hopes up again.

Of course I may not qualify for this I just want to say I hope someone understands a positive experience and I don't think I have enough interest in this position. Tyvm.

Despite the rumors that may exist... there are some really good people in this program. I didn’t agree with some of the internal politics, but this program does provide a positive experience. I just caution you all to be careful and be open to opinions but don’t be afraid to assert your own. Your opinion is valuable and the smallest of voices makes a big difference.

I have the motivation

;~; Thats all you need man!

Though I am thoroughly qualified, uniquely suited, deeply in tune with the heartbeat of the community, and remarkably eloquent, I am afraid I lack the motivation to place such a role over other, more exigent affairs. Your expression of interest in my expertise is, however, noted.

i am interested!

COBRA C0MM4NDER4/2/2018, 2:27:23 PM1 votes

Provide cooked roadrunners, and I'll sign on. My current provider (ACME Inc.) has been rather quiet on the internet as of late, and I'd like something else to do besides running after birbs and dropping anvils on my head.

DeerGreenwood3/30/2018, 10:16:27 PM1 votes

I have interest in this position, but I have a crippling fear of being rejected... Is it worth the risk of humiliating myself?
