EDIT: RECRUITMENT ENDING SOON We will stop taking applications at the end of this week. If you're still considering applying, please do so soon. With the LynxChan 2.6 upgrade finished and a little bit less on our plate, we're now ready to start taking on more global volunteers. I want to lay out a bit of what you can expect: >We're looking for autists who lurk the site a lot. The more time you spend with a tab open, the better. >We're especially looking for at least 2 people in the 4am-8am America time (CST) hours. >We're looking for people who give a shit and want to help, but who aren't looking to be overbearing mods. >Globalling is low-volume but high uptime. It's easy, but being vigilant can be boring. >You need to be dependable. Everyone takes breaks, but you can't just no-show for weeks at a time. The site needs you, and you need to act like it. If these things are mostly agreeable to you, please contact us at 8moeadmin@protonmail.com with the following: >Your account name (or TBD if you don't have one yet) >IRC handle (if applicable) >Have you ever modded before? If so, for how long and on what site? You don't have to name the board if you wish to keep it private. >What your most common available hours are to do your jannying. >A sentence or two describing why you wanna help and why we should trust you. >We don't need or care about your dox, but if we like you we might ask for a phone number in case of site emergencies. Here is what Global Modding is like. >Tab open, occasionally refresh site homepage looking for CP or obvious spam, such as PPH shooting up to 500+ for no reason. >Check Global Management -> Open Reports page. Quick scan for CP and other Global Rule violations. Ignore all the other reports - as a global they are not your job. Leave them to BOs and their staff. >If you identify a problem such as an ongoing spam attack or a persistent CP poster, notify the admins and spend a while camping out on the Latest Postings - Sitewide page to help clean it up. >Every once in a while, team up with the rest of the global staff to deal with "all hand on deck" shitstorm events. You should make the regular, boring sweeps 2 to 4 times an hour and clean up things you find as needed. Most of the time there will be nothing, but when things do come you might spend 10 minutes scrubbing it into the trash or camping on a persistent spammer until he gets bored. You can shitpost with us in the dev chat and get other people to help if you need it. What you get in return for this important service: >A steady diet of Hot Pockets >Scorn and ridicule from anons :^) >Sekrit insight into the backend of the site and whatever we're working on down the pipe >Secret, arcane Internets knowledge and all the myriad and undefined powers that go with it >A direct line to the admins for bug reports, concerns, opinions, and suggestions >The satisfaction of knowing that you, personally, are helping keep this place alive and online >Our gratitude. No, literally. Our global mods are awesome. Feel free to ask questions in this thread if you would like to know more.
