Super Moderator Recruitment Drive
SUPER MODERATOR RECRUITMENT
Shamelessly stolen, again.

PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IN THIS THREAD, SEND YOUR APPLICATION TO ANY
ADMIN OR SUPER MODERATOR ALIKE FOUND HERE.


~~~

What is a Super Moderator?

The Super Moderators are a group of global mods that specialize in the general regulation of the forums and solving most forum reports, and are a major part of staff discussion. While not directly expected to deal with in-game related incidents, scam/tc related incidents, or clan related incidents as these cases generally belong to the GM team, Market Squad and Clan Moderators respectively, they have the ability/power to help in these situations. Super Moderators have special forum powers as well as in-game admin, and are easily distinguishable by their bold, blue names. Super Moderators and all staff alike are required to devote a decent chunk of time out of their days to tend to their duties and other work, and these staff positions are voluntary, please be aware of this before applying.


What will be expected of you?

As mentioned earlier in the thread, there are several duties that Super Moderators are expected to take care of. As basic forum regulators, they handle most of the reports, including general reports, but tend to leave scam reports to the market squad, in-game related reports to the gamemasters, and clan-related reports to the clan mods though they are allowed and encouraged to take care of or take part in any of the prior mentioned cases. They are expected to take part in staff discussion and make sure that the forum is kept in order. While they are global moderators of the entire forums, they are not required to notice and handle every possible rule break by watching the forums constantly; this is what the report function is for. This has been said earlier, but please realize that these duties can take a large amount of time out of anyone's day, the job itself can be stressful at any given time, and the job is entirely voluntary.


How to apply?

If you've read through the thread and are still interested in becoming a Super Moderator, feel free to send your application to any current ADMIN or SUPER MODERATOR, the list of current staff can be found HERE; alternatively, click the "View Toribash Staff" button at the bottom of the forum index. It is encouraged to include your GMT as well as the languages that you speak. If you are unsure of how to go about making an application, this is a nice guide made by Dargon, a former staff member. There is no required format or experience before applying, feel free to show us that you have got what it takes. If you have applied very recently (as in the past month or so), there is no need to make another application for this drive. Refrain from applying unless you are willing and able to commit a decent chunk of time to the position. Applications are always open, but generally have lower acceptance rates outside of these drives.


We are currently interested in recruiting a number of new Super Moderators, and recruitment will be closed 2 weeks after the original post. Please do not be shy if you are not already in a staff role below Super Moderator, we are looking for anyone and everyone who is interested.


~~~

Feel free to ask any questions, they will be answered by any of the current staff that are involved with/are currently super moderators.

Meh, if you can't do the job now, there is no point applying now, i doubt anyone would bother waiting with your app few months, it would probably get lost somewhere there in the mean time, just apply when you can.

They hold onto apps so even if you are busy right now it's fine. Staff have things to do outside of the forums anyway so they are used to dips in activity
<Faint> the rules have been stated quite clearly 3 times now from high staff

OK but even though you're young it doesn't mean that you can't be staff
Kids shouldn't be discouraged from applying

I got a question: Is there a belt requirement to be a S-mod M-Squad GM etc?

Nope. You just need to be active on the forum. That might mean that you need a certain (not defined) post count though, but not necessarily.

Can you be considered active without actually having a high average post rate?

sure, we do not base activity simply from post count/rate. that being said, if you are posting once a month and not showing your presence anywhere, it's probably safe to assume that you're not very active. there are several other factors as well, but what's most important is that you feel that you are active enough to hold the position.

So just to reiterate on what you said, a post count does not matter, as long as you can emphasize that you will be active and doing your job? My post count isn't particularly high, but that won't affect my chances?
