Wanted: More TFP Moderators!
Hey there TFP! I wanted to let you all know that from way up here, things are looking good. We're seeing more average daily activity recently than in the recent past, so that means we're getting better. We've got a few policy changes as well as a lot of new features, so I hope everyone is enjoying their time.
We are looking for a few more moderators to fill out our ranks. The moderator job description has changed recently from an enforcer position to more of a community leader position. We're looking for users who can remain active on the boards and continuously work to improve the site through leadership-by-example. We want people who can participate in policy discussions and activity planning. We want people with a lot of energy and passion for nurturing a great community.
Here is what is expected of a moderator:
Duties:
1. Create new content on the forum: post articles, essays, stories, opinions, creative works and discussion pieces.
Frequency: At least 3 times a week.
2. Moderating debates by redirecting wayward discussion, dispensing advice, and in the worst cases, using moderator announcements.
Frequency: Scan the board for opportunities every day.
Protocol: If one moderator has taken action in a thread, you may participate in the thread only as a member. Emphasize maturity in all actions. Big problems may be escalated to an administrator.
3. Cleaning up spam, multiple log-ins, and duplicate threads.
Frequency: Scan the board for opportunities every day.
4. Participate in board policy and activity discussions in moderator forums.
Frequency: Scan the board for opportunities every day.

5. Guide and organize forum activities. This includes polls, posting themes, and games.

Goals:
1. Increase the rate of member participation.

2. Increase standard of posting maturity and intelligence.
