Integrity Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hello, citizens. You might have heard that there's a fancy new Fire Emblem game coming out. I dunno. The funny thing with new Fires Emblem coming out is that they're accompanied by a surge of activity, both old folks checking out the new toy and newcomers who just discovered this place. Weird how that happens. To that end, we're looking to expand our moderator base a little bit. There are a few potential positions open, and the forum has grown enough that we've determined that the easiest way to go about this is to fire off a fancy application at you fine folks! So if you think you'd be a cool arbitrator of justice who is accountable for their actions, go ahead and fill it out. It'll probably take you a few minutes, but all we're asking is that you be honest. Here's the link. If you have any questions about the form or the process, direct them to the lovely @Specta, who drafted the entire form since we the overlords were too lazy to. Bless.

Integrity Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 you could hypothetically be a fftf section moderator if i were really desperate to punish people, which i am, so hey, fill out the form, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Roger The Paladin Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 So... if I were to apply, how much of my time would I be expected to dedicate? Because I'd like to help out with the increased workload if possible, but I'm not sure how my availability would be because of personal responsibilities and health issues. If it doesn't matter that I may disappear at times because of said issues, then I'll apply (not sure I'd even make it, and in such a case it'd be a moot point). I mean, if you guys don't have better applicants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodHoms Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) If I may be so bold, how often is a moderator expected to check in on the forums? Is it once a day? A few times thought the day? Or is it just based on the moderator's availability? Edited June 28, 2019 by TheGoodHoms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Karnage Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 How essential is it to use Discord, I'm not very active on larger servers? I'm also not to familiar with Discord's features Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also not to familiar with Discord's features It is not essential! If you are on Discord, you wouldn't need to participate in the SF server as a whole, but we would request that you keep the secret staff channel unmuted so you can be part of that. However, if you are not a Discord-faring kinda guy, you'd just have to be sure you were active enough here on the forums so we can communicate somewhat reliably with you I would strongly encourage any future staff members to have a Discord if just to be a part of the staff channel, since we do most of our staff communication there Edited June 28, 2019 by Specta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair General Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 So...did some of the stuff in your questions actually happened? Because this feels particular specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specta Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Haha! We may have taken some inspiration from situations we've been in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyosua Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 They are pretty intentionally designed to evoke big thinkums because that is the typical stuff the moderator team here deals with on a day-to-day basis. Also, just want to reinforce that having discord is Very Good™️ because it's an easy, convenient medium for us to have detailed conversations in as a staff.

Jingle Jangle Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 How long applications will be accepted? What is the exact voting process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specta Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) There is no voting process inasmuch. The staff is discussing all of the applicants and determining together which we may want to reach out to I don't believe we've set any close date on applications, since this isn't a contest or anything. This is open until we are satisfied, essentially Edited June 28, 2019 by Specta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 she's dead right - the soft deadline is is the release of feth, but i'll probably leave the form up for kicks afterwards so the hard deadline is the heat death of the universe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
