Job Opening @ Amiga.org
« on: October 23, 2003, 09:29:39 PM »
Amiga.org is currently looking for an active moderator for the news and forum section.

The Job
The most important thing to know about being an Amiga.org moderator is that most likely, you don't really want to be one. Being a moderator is not a glamorous position. It takes a great deal of hard work, and dedication. The overall amount of time a moderator spends on Amiga.org, he or she will be reading posts, editing posts (keeping things civilized) and scouting for news.

You will spend numerous long sessions of several hours moderating blatantly trivial disputes. You can't just tell them to go away, or to simply shut up. You have to stay civilized at all times.

A moderator is entitled to his or her opinion on any subject, but in  the interest of keeping the view of this site balanced, we would prefer  someone who isn't extreme in their opinions, who generally doesn't let  arguments get personal, and can work professionally enough to not let their opinions get in the way of the role.

The Payment
There is none ... Everyone at Amiga.org is helping out on a voluntary basis. You will however become a member of a great team of nice people and sometimes obtain information that is not ment to go public (yet).

How do i apply ?
If the above text didn't scare you away ... you can send a mail to kees@amiga.org and apply to the job. Explain why you want to help out and why you think you are the best man/woman for the job.

If you have any questions, you can post them in this thread or e-mail one of the staff members.

*******
Any posts/comments that contain complaints/putting down candidates will be deleted with no hesitation.

I'd apply but I think that would just entice a small riot.

Nope, not when you used them. No matter how many times you washed them. :-)

I'd love to help but I fear I wouldn't be able to dedicate enough time
to it.

Good luck in the search guys. :pint:

I'd like to apply, but I fear that I would attempt to end all arguments with:

"You're both wrong, AROS is the best, you suck, AROS rox :-P " :-D

Well, I say good luck to whoever gets the job, 'cos it's not going to be easy especially with OS4 just around the corner!

errr...

also, I don't think I am enough of a member of the community, being a returning user, who knows jackshit about Amigas on the grand-scale of things  :-D

plus, I already don't have much of a life...  :-D


edit: plus I have a propensity for foul language, which flies in the face of the TOS :-P
I like Amigas

OK, you've talked me into it... I'll do it!!!    :-D

On a serious note, if I DID do it then nobody on ANN would be able to accuse Amiga.org of being biased anymore ;-)

@Kees

I'm with Wilse (don't have the time) and Downix (it would probably cause a riot  :-P ). There are enough people on other sites who think my spending eternity in the fires of the Underworld is not punishment enough for having the temerity of expressing an opinion.

But seriously, I have way too much on my plate already and would not be able to give it the time it deserves.

Good luck in finding a suitable candidate. I'm sure the right person will turn up soon enough.
