Moderator

Duties and Responsibilities

Reading all the threads and keeping an eye on them, Archiving threads as necessary, Pruning the forums as necessary, and Alerting the Director should an issue arise, and working with the Director (and whoever else in the Administration needs to get involved, usually the Keeper or Director of Membership) to resolve any issues.

General Forum and Frivolous Fun

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.

Current Events

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)

Discussion Halls

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: (A) Entertainment, Home and Garden, Fine Arts and Literary Pursuits, and Hand Crafts (B) Education and Employment, Health and Fitness and Sports Fanatics.

Olde Warder and Hen

As a moderator for The Olde Warder and Hen, 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 doesn't usually require a lot of action from its moderators, it does require a bit more time to read as it is a relatively active forum.

Book Forums

As a moderator for the book discussion forums, 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 of time as conversations can get indepth. 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. In addition please note that unlike previous terms these positions will be watching over *all* of the book discussion forums including non-WoT literature.

Requirements

Must have the time to actively read the threads, May be any rank, so long as you've been a member of the community for at least 3 months, and Have knowledge of or a willingness to learn phpbb moderation actions.
