I do a lot of this stuff already generally. Let me know if you still need someone in Social Media moderation. I'm 31-years old and was a foreign languages teacher prior to the lockdown. I know how to work with people. @Seshi

Thank you for all of the applicants that have applied to fill our positions, we have promoted members to Forum Moderator, and Database administrator, but still would like to see some interest in the Social Media department!

Someone who takes pleasure in creating posts on Instagram or Twitter and knows how to use the tag system, would be a great addition to the team! Please submit your application if after reading the requirements you think you would be a good fit for the position.

The same goes for Review moderators, we would love to have someone dedicated to moderating the reviews from our members. Please be sure to apply if this interests you.

~ Have a great day

I know I'm late to this and positions are probably filled but I would love to be able to pitch in some way or another, whether that's moderator or working in the Social Media department! 

Thank you!

Spoiler

- What position you are applying for.

Forum Moderator or Social Media Department!

- Timezone, and age.

GMT and 19 

- *Time of day you can commit to moderating

I usually spend about 30 minutes scrolling through the forum but can commit at least up to an hour a day. For the Social Media, 1-2 hours. 

- *Which forums/subforums you are most active in.

General

- *How much time you feel is appropriate to spend moderating per day/week.

1-2 hours per day.

- In your own words, express why you believe you are qualified for the position, and why you are interested in the position.

I believe I'm qualified for the moderator role due to my attachment to this forum and how long I've been here, I've seen the community grow, people come and go and have always checked tried to check the forum daily even during my least active times, I also believe I'm on the ball when it comes to welcoming new members 😂, for social media, I've got a good understanding of how things work, especially Instagram (and willing to get used to Twitter more), I also have experience with the tag system and spend a good majority of my time on social media. 

- Some of your strengths, and what you would like to bring to the team.

My commitment to the forum, teamwork, a good drive to see this community grow, social media experience and what I'd like to believe, a warm personality :D 

- Any concerns you may have about meeting at least one year active in your chosen position.

My biggest concern would be my time schedule with University and the possibility of travelling but would definitely do my best and make sure time doesn't become an issue as I've always found the time for this wonderful place!

How long take to be approved by a moderator?

It's currently me alone moderating posts, I login everyday so for new members it might take up to one day or less if I'm not too busy. Thank you for your patience (>.o)
