We are now accepting staff applications!

EDIT: There was a glitch at first, so a few people will want to resubmit their application. If you submitted a Moderator application before 3:30 ET today (Friday), in other words before this post, please redo your application. Sorry for any trouble. The other two forms had no issues.
~~~

To apply, click the Community tab at the top and click Staff Applications. If you don't have many posts, you may not have access to this link or certain applications after clicking it.

You can also recommend someone.

We have two different types of job openings:

Moderators are responsible for moderating posts and users. They make sure everyone follows the rules and respects each other. They respond to reports made by users and decide what action to take, if any. Moderators also help settle disputes between two members. However, moderators don't only moderate posts and users. They also contribute to staff projects and help run the forum with the administrators. Moderators should be mature, responsible, objective, and well respected in the forum community.

*NEW* Shop Managers are staff members who, unlike moderators and administrators, have a specific job they are meant to perform. These types of jobs require someone who is actively doing the job. If the person become inactive, someone else will take his or her place. This specific position will actually include two jobs: Shop Manager and Event Manager. The Shop Manager's job is to help run the shop, which may involve creating items, helping customers, running Bell lotteries, etc. In addition to helping with the shop, this staff member will also take the role of Event Manager and help run contests and events at the forum. These may be split into separate positions in the future, but they will currently be known as the Shop Manager. Skills in graphic design are a plus because we will need someone to make the shop icons. However, they are not required. Shop Managers should be creative, responsible, and well respected in the forum community.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Applied. Good luck to anyone else who applies.

We may also have a RP Manager job in the future, similar to Shop Manager.

edit: You can also apply for both Moderator and Shop Manager, but you wouldn't be promoted to both. But if you're promoted to Moderator, you could help with the Shop if you want because mods can help with whatever staff things they want.

Aw damn, I wish there was Event Manager
Anyway I'll apply anyway. And lol at Sanji being first, who else expected that? ;P

so..
if you want to apply to both, applying to be a Moderator would encompass applying to be a Shop Manager?
might wanna clarify that in the first post, as i'm sure there's some people who didn't catch that..

No, if you want to apply to both, you'd fill out both applications. For the longer questions that overlap you could even do "(See other application)" or something... doesn't really matter.

What I was saying was that mods do a lot of stuff. They don't just moderate. They can help with any TBT project, including the shop. But the mods don't have to help with that if they don't want to. The Shop Manager has only one thing to do: the shop. Well and events, etc. lol.

I know, But I mean before you've been hinting that you've wanted to become Moderator

Anyway, I like the Application Form, I was honest on this one unlike the last one. Serious guys, Don't lie and tell the truth.

Already did bro.

Ugh, I don't know what is wrong, but some of the answers are not coming through. They just have blank answers but they are questions that force you to answer. I'm guessing it's a problem with the application modification.

I could re do it or send you a PM with my answers?

I'm going to turn the system off for now. You guys may have to redo, but let me look into it.

Whoever coded the modification is to blame. He obviously did not test it properly. But maybe one of the characters in a question I had is what didn't work with the system, so I'm going to see if there is any patterns in the problems that appeared in the submissions. For example, none of the age answers appeared. Maybe it doesn't like the hyphens, I don't know... And maybe that threw everything else off...

Jeremy is it ok if I just PM you what I put in the application? Would that help or should I just retry when it's all fixed?

It's fixed now. If you did the Moderator application before I closed it, you're going to want to do it again. The other two forms were ok.

moderator application only, meaning recommendations went through alright?

Wait do I have to redo it? :S

[notinterestedinmodship]

Exactly how complicated could the application be and where'd you get it?

Really, it shouldn't be overly difficult to code something in HTML/Java/CS... even then, one would think that logical/capable (future) moderators would be able to follow a simple template.
Pro quo: Why not just design a template and have people send it via email instead of BS-ing around with a submission system?
If entrants cannot follow the template they clearly aren't fit for the job.

It'd be easier than fiddle-farting around with an app.

[/notinterestedness]

And at that rate, VOTE TREVOR FOR PRESIDENT!

H.R. Edit: Damn you for ninja-ing me Jeremy! :<
What was the issue btw?

Yup, sorry. Only some of your answers went through. It's not my fault though, it's the guy who coded this modification. lol.

I redid the whole form though, so it should work fine now.

1) Who cares?
2) The applications are for only staff to read.
