Looking for Boards Moderators! [CLOSED]

ModWuks·Nov 20, 2017·39 votes·12,194 views

Applications: CLOSED

Hey, you! Do you possess a certain set of skills that you feel would be beneficial to the Boards?

With a restructure of the Boards Volunteers and Moderation in the near future, we're re-opening applications for Boards Moderators here on the League of Legends North American Boards.

The upcoming changes will break from the current Warden Program and instead have Moderators that work to moderate, maintain, and improve the Boards as a whole rather than with individual sub-boards.

The deadline for applications will be at 11:59PM PST on Wednesday, December 6, 2017, and continuing with phase 2 will include a short voice or chat round-table interview. We will be selecting qualified candidates who possess all or most of the following attributes we are looking for.

Moderator Application (CLOSED)

Qualifications

History of frequent engagement and currently active on the Boards
Does not have an excessive history of breaking the Universal Rules or in-game punishments
Open to taking constructive direction in moderation and working collaboratively with Riot and other volunteers
Thick-skinned and the ability to detach personal feelings from moderation activities (stay calm and diplomatic in any situation)

Moderator Privileges

Name color, Moderator title, and icon on the Boards
Visibility to reported content
Delete discussion and comments
Disable commenting in a discussion
Pin a comment
Sticky discussions

Moderator Expectations

Be active in the community and facilitate discussions
Keeping the sub-board clean per Universal Rules
Be fair and distance from favoritism
Escalate discussions or comments as needed to Riot
Be the voice of the community and share those concerns to Riot

Does that mean all of the Wardens are being fired

ModKnightsKemplarNov 20, 20175 votes

No. No it does not.

Well they did get rid of most of the garbage ones already.

99% of us are still here. Is there anything specific you'd want to critique the volunteer program about? I'm sure willing to listen if you have anything you'd like to share for us to improve. [sg-miss-fortune]

TheGoddessBellNov 20, 20174 votes

Yet like I said, there were plenty of bad ones and some are gone. So that's all that needs to be said.

MhihnjNov 21, 20173 votes

bad ones like?

I have only ever seen 3 mods in my 1 and a half years on these boards.

TheGoddessBellNov 21, 20172 votes

DTN and a few others that didn't deserve it.

MhihnjNov 21, 20173 votes

just curious but what did DTN do?

Hardly. He was quite professional as a volunteer for the duration of his service and has contributed to this community in a highly positive and constructive fashion for years, even before we had official volunteer positions and it was just a loose unspoken agreement amongst us board regulars.

If anything, DTN is largely a good example of what we need from our volunteers when looking at his complete body of contributions.

We're not being fired. Herald skirmish at 15 and we all died. [sg-soraka]

When they are fired, make sure it's from a Cannon into the sun [zombie-brand-mindblown]

There’s too many blues and purples. LETS GET SOME GREEEN!

Velzard of KozNov 21, 20172 votes

I'd swear Moderators were green like a second ago but now you appear blue to me. I might've went colourblind in the meantime I had milk two days post expiration date.

Laughing FishNov 22, 20174 votes

Moderators = Green Advisor = Blue Herald = Purple

Velzard of KozNov 22, 20173 votes

Now that I see you both next to each other, I see the difference in hue of the colour, it just seems on my notebook display too cyanish that green moderator colour.

BLACK REALM GODNov 21, 20177 votes

do i want to be a moderator? yes. do i have time to be a moderator? no. am i qualified to be a moderator? no.

1 out of 3 is pretty good in my opinion.

Velzard of KozNov 21, 20172 votes

I both want and have time for it, but wanting to have nicer name colur probably isn't the best qualification. I need to become Herald to honor padre Koz.

What are the riot required warden stances on anime and pineapple pizza?

We're equal opportunity recruiters for folks who either like or dislike anime, and like or dislike pineapple pizza. That being said, I'm not the biggest fan of anime and I'd rather have bacon and mushrooms as a topping than pineapple.

Nami Ugh, mushrooms.

Mushrooms are fine! Begone with you!

Although my current favorite pizza topping is probably sliced meatballs. Had it on a whim recently, and it's fantastic.

With midnight having passed here on the West Coast, applications are now officially closed. With over 200 applications, we'll need some time to go over your responses and get back to you. I'd like to personally thank all of you for your interest, and we hope to match your timely submissions with timely responses. We've set a timeline of reviewing all submissions by this Sunday, so if you don't have a response by then, don't hesitate to reach out here or via the Boards Discord.

Some emails have already gone out, so keep an eye out for them over the coming days :) Thanks again for your passion and your interest.

My Pet DinosaurNov 20, 20172 votes

I gave it a shot. I know the moderation here gets a lot of flack, but I think it'd actually be a net positive for me if I could help out here on Boards. This place is basically my internet home.

One must take pride in such avatars if they are at a marvelous frame rate.

continuing with phase 2 which will include a short voice or chat round-table interview

Welp. Considering how shoddy my ISP, and thus my internet, is... There goes my chance.

Does not have an excessive history of breaking the Universal Rules or in-game punishments

Like, a lot of removed posts, or punishments like (if any exist) timed bans from boards? Or just no punishments (on boards) for X months? Never been punished in game.

Laughing FishNov 22, 20172 votes

We mean particularly bad recent histories. A few minor issues won’t disqualify you. Like I have been given 24 hour bans twice before for spam, but hadn’t been causing problems for a few months when I applied.

General Esdeath Nov 22, 20171 votes

So my recent having a post removed without any time ban wouldn't disqualify me for this?

Laughing FishNov 22, 20172 votes

Not necessarily. There isn't really a specific cutoff point for recent history. Recent history will of course be considered and play a role, but other factors will as well. If you are interesting, I recommend you apply still. There is no harm in applying.

General Esdeath Nov 22, 20173 votes

Already did, hope to get accepted :)

The Stabby TabbyNov 22, 20172 votes

Well here's hoping I get considered.

I'm not expecting to get selected but hey consideration is a step up from rejected.

Swiff SwishNov 22, 20172 votes

I would like to be a moderator because I feel like I can see both sides of the coin. Although this is true it is highly unlikely I would get the job and to be perfectly honest, I'm pretty sure that other people would think that I would be a bad moderator. :/

Vhan8765Nov 22, 20172 votes

I'm not as active on Boards as I used to be, but if volunteers are low, I'm willing to do what I can to aid in the matter. Don't know if I qualify; I'd imagine I should. Never had an real reports towards me or anything. But never the less, I'm willing to put in my part to help keep Boards more peaceful if able. I'd be more then happy to help as well when it comes Moderation discussions; it doesn't seem like all the wardens are on the same page still at times. Which, granted, there is a lot to deal with, but because of so it makes having more areas to cover that much more useful.

Lemme know if my aid is needed any; I'm usually around every so often, so contact shouldn't be difficult.

ModWuksDec 1, 20172 votes

Just a reminder that applications will be closing on Wednesday, December 6, 2017 at 11:59PM Pacific Standard Time. We'll then go into the reviewing process, and we'll hopefully be able to send out notifications for those who make it to the second round of the application/interview process. Good luck to everyone who is applying, and we look forward to getting to know you better!

BattalionDec 6, 20172 votes

By what date should those who receive no response stop waiting for one? Nothing is more frustrating than waiting on a "Don't call us, we'll call you" without an end-date estimation. Thank you.

ModWuksDec 7, 20172 votes

We'll have responses for everyone hopefully sent out by this Sunday at the latest, but I'll post here and email out if we need more time to consider applications and send decisions. As of tonight, we've already begun sending out some notifications, so you can expect it as soon as a few minutes ago and as late as Sunday. Best of luck!
