Apply to be a HobbitWeb Moderator!
![Post Post](./styles/narniaweb/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
As you may have noticed, there have been a few changes around here within the past few hours. There are new forums to moderate, new topics to post in, and more fun to have, but the rules still need to be enforced.
When NarniaWeb closed and HobbitWeb was born the former NarniaWeb moderator staff was informed that not all of them could be kept onboard. Some of them displayed an alarming lack of knowledge concerning Tolkien, Middle-Earth, and The Hobbit, and as such, they must be replaced. The positions recently vacated by some of these former moderators need to be filled. As such, we are adopting a policy never before used on this site; we are now accepting applications to become a HobbitWeb moderator. All applicants must meet the proper criteria:
All applicants must meet these criteria:
1. All applicants must have belonged to the forum for at least 3 days.
2. All applicants must have at least 50 posts.
3. All applicants must be at least 13 years old.
Note: These requirements may be waived for applicants displaying an astounding knowledge of Tolkien's world.
To prove your Tolkien knowledge, you must also take this quiz. You may only take the quiz one time, and MUST post your score. We're running this off of the honor system (because a true mod ALWAYS shows honor!!!!) so don't cheat! Don't look up the answers online, and don't confer with each other as you take the quiz!
Those who are interested should respond in this thread. By filling out the questionaire below, you are officially nominating yourself as a potential candidate for a HobbitWeb moderator:
1. When did you join NarniaWeb/HobbitWeb?
2. What is your current post count?
3. Do you meet the age requirement?
4. How fluent do you consider yourself on general Tolkien knowledge?
5. Why do you think that you would be a good forum moderator here?
6. What are your qualifications? (Feel free to post a full resume)
7. How have you displayed leadership ability on this forum?
8. What additional comments would you like to add to your application?
Starting pay for a moderator on this site is $10.00 (USD) per hour logged (plus an additional $2.00 (USD) for every spammer banned). The admins are currently trying to find an affordable health insurance program for the forum moderators, which would include prescription drug coverage, optical and dental, along with general doctor's fees. They are also looking into lucrative 401K plans, and are comparing it to the traditional Social-Security system currently in place. Details concerning the pay and benefits will be passed on to all applicants deemed worthy of a position with this firm.
If you have any questions, you are encouraged to contact one of the current forum moderators (even though some of them will be fired at the end of this process), and they'll be able to walk you through the application.
Thank you, and good luck!
The HobbitWeb staff.
