As a moderator for General, you will be responsible for keeping an eye on the threads and making sure that people aren't getting out of line/fighting/flaming, etc. While this forum does not usually require a lot of action from its moderators, it does require a bit more time as it is one of our more active forums. In addition, these moderators will keep an eye on the Frivolous Fun forum, which while busy tends to be very low key in terms of moderation.

As a moderator of Current Events, you need to employ tact and diplomacy in your dealings with other members, you need to remain fair and approach all moderator dealings with as little bias as possible, and you need to commit to at least 15 hours a week dealing with moderating Current Events. This is definitely our most time-consuming moderator position and will likely require working more closely with me than others. We have two rotations now in Current Events; both are 6 month terms but one rotates with all the rest of the moderators (now) and the other two positions rotate 3 months later. (Kinda like mid-term elections)

As a moderator in the Discussion Halls area, it is very important that you read all threads and check out all links that are posted (especially in the Entertainment forum). As with all the other forums, you'll also make sure that people aren't getting out of line, fighting, flaming and so on. I have split the forums in half, so please indicate in your application if you would like to moderate group:

Also, if you haven't read Towers of Midnight yet please think about whether you truly want this position as it does require reading through all of the threads in the Book 13 forum and will have spoilers.
