Over time our small team of forum moderators have dwindled - many don't use the site anymore (or very infrequently). As we migrate to new forum software, i'm looking to both streamline the current content (deleting some forums, adding new ones, etc) and also getting a large, active team of moderators onboard to clean things up.
Qualifications:
-Currently active in the forum. This is a requirement - we're looking specifically for people who are currently active, so if you're new to the forum or have been inactive for awhile, please don't apply :)
-Have ongoing, consistent time to check the forum. This is another big one. Very frequently, people sign up for projects on the site because they have a small period of lots of free time, but then become inactive for long periods of time too. We're looking for people that ideally have time daily to check their forum sections and moderate if needed.
-Are diplomatic and can be professional. This is another big one - regardless of your personal style or 'who you are', once you get a moderator title, it's important to be an ambassador of Anime-Planet's core values - that we're a friendly place where people can be free to chat about things. If you tend to power-up into flame mode, this position isn't the best fit. Moderators generally should be neutral and kind (even when closing threads, such as recommendation threads) and give people the benefit of the doubt. Helpful, not chastising.
If being a forum moderator interests you, and if you fit the qualifications above, please reply here! If there's sections that especially interest you, include that (we'll need coverage on all forum sections, so you might be tasked with a few other sections you don't normally visit), or anything else we should know about you :)
