Over 50s Forum Helpers
Hi All,
As mentioned in my last announcement about additions and changes to the Mod team, I think it would be wise to start with a team of helpers first
This lowers the entry barrier (slightly!) and also gives people a chance to work up towards Modship.
What does helping entail?
Generally it will involve keeping an eye on things - spam, 'disagreements', posts or threads in the wrong sections etc. Members on the helpers team will be granted certain powers as they progress - such as the ability to move or lock threads. It all depends on how you get on, but to begin with you'll notify our mods of things you think require attention.
Here are the qualities needed if you'd like to put yourself forward:
- Must posses the ability to be impartial, fair and consistent
- Must be relatively tech savvy (if you can use the forum then you probably meet this criteria)
- Must have been a member here for at least 4 months
- Must have posted at least 100 times
- Must be a regular/daily visitor
- Must be willing to 'help' (don't just leave it to everyone else)
- Must be committed to treating all members amiably and equally irrespective of members' race, nationality, religion, sex/gender, sexual orientation or disability status.
Exclusions:
- If you've had ban/s exceeding a total of 5 days
- If you mod/admin another forum aimed at the over 50s
How to Apply:
Start a thread in Contact Admin letting us know why you'd like to join and why you think you would be a good addition to the team
If you put yourself forward as a mod after the last announcement, you don't need to re-apply, your application will be carried through automatically
