If it means having to work with you, guccilvr (if that's even your real name) I'll be surprised if anyone applies.

Special consideration will be given to applicants that are still allowed within 100 yards of Alyson Hannigan, and can get a note to her.

How about... I have no real interest in being permanent staff. But the recent discussion about our attitude toward new members has me behaving in totally new ways over in the newbie's forum. I might be interested in a temporary mod stint with an eye toward furthering what I'm seeing is possible in how we relate to new members. Is that sort of application within the realm of what's being asked for here?

I've considered applying a few times, but, as rat said, I'd be more interested in a temporary thing. Also, I'm concerned about if I could take off my moderator hat and post what I want to say. Obviously, I'd never intentionally break rules or anything (or plagiarize, learned that lesson the hard way), but if I were to be a moderator, I'd also want to set an example which meant that I'd probably tone down my posts especially in places like Politics and Paranoia. So it's really a question of whether I want to help the community out in this way and maybe give up some of my more interesting posts or not.
I can think of a few other people who I think would make excellent moderators, including but not limited to ratbastid. |

Alrighty, I applied - here's to hoping the third time's the charm. If it doesn't work out this time, I'm thinking perhaps you guys have a staff soup kitchen that I'm not allowed in...

Weird. I've never heard forum moderators offering counseling to members.

it's counselling as it applies to the TFP, not help in dealing with your personal problems...that's what the journals are for..
...at least, that's what I've heard...

Why didn't you just lock the thread, WK? We sure as hell aren't gonna get any more applicants now.

i've considered applying for this, but am unclear on the amount of time involved with it. my schedule fluctuates in intensity and so it'd be helpful to have an idea.
maybe if i worked in mod-mode, i'd find a way to overcome my loathing of capital letters so i could tell the voices apart. anyway, i am not sure that i'd be a great mod, but if the time committment doesnt get in the way too much of other things, maybe i'll apply. i even think i could work with wk. kinda.

I'd like to encourage more of our female members to apply. This is in no way any sort of indication that we have a quota on the sex of moderators - we will take on the people who we think are the best choices at this time, regardless of their sex - but it's definitely nice to have the options. So, if you're a female member and on the fence about whether or not to apply, I encourage you to do so. The worst thing that could happen is you don't get picked, which is, of course, no big deal
