Volunteer Moderators Wanted

Zwielicht said:

Becoming a Black Hat World moderator can be a very rewarding experience. As a moderator of Black Hat World, you gain a perspective very few are fortunate to have in the online marketing industry. In addition to helping your fellow community members, the knowledge and opportunities you can gain from a moderator position can go a long way towards improving your own skill set.

Expectations
Before you apply, it's important that you know what being a moderator is about.

• Being a moderator is about guidance and maintenance; we want to steer those who break the rules and are willing to listen in the right direction by educating them on their mistakes. To clarify, this role is not a private investigation role nor is it the role of a ban-hammer-wielding executioner.
• Moderator positions are on a volunteer basis and the workload varies daily. Some days you may find yourself cleaning up reports and other days you may end up answering several dozen conversations.
• As a moderator, you act as an extension of the forum owner. This means upholding any and all rules put in place by the forum owner.

If you're interested in the opportunity of becoming part of something bigger and contributing to our community in a new way, continue reading.

Who Are We Looking For?

• Members who wish to give back to the community through moderation.
• Members who are experienced internet marketers. You don't need to be experienced in every facet of the industry, but knowledge of link building or social media in particular are a bonus.
• Members who are supportive of the forum and the community. Everyone's allowed to have their opinions, but as a moderator, we want someone who's interested in contributing to the forum in a positive way.
• Members with an even temperament and thick skin who are comfortable with confrontation whilst not being prone to it. Being able to handle feedback and constructive criticism is an important part of the position.
• Members who will be able to work well with the existing staff members. You don't need to be friends, but being able to work well in a team and coordinate on tasks is crucial.
• Members who are able to consistently uphold the rules of Black Hat World to encourage a safe and fair environment for the community.

Requirements

• Applicants must be over 18 years of age.
• Applicants must be proficient in the English language, although proficiency in a second language is a plus. Members with excellent written communication skills will be especially desirable.
• Applicants must not have a live marketplace thread nor can they have the intention of having one after accepting their position.
• Applicants must have an above-average understanding of the forum rules.
• Applicants must be a Regular Member (i.e., 200+ posts).
• Applicants must be engaged members of the forum.

Responsibilities
As a Black Hat World forum moderator, you'll be the 'face' of BHW. As such, you'll be required to maintain a certain degree of professionalism when engaging with the community.

Moderators are also expected to maintain their positions. Moderators who become inactive will lose their position so that we can make room for more staff members.

Responsibilities can include, but are not limited to:

• Spam management.
• Processing reports.
• Moving threads.
• Deleting rule-breaking threads.
• Merging duplicate posts.
• Identifying rule-breaking content.
• Responding to queries from members.
• Issuing warnings
• Clearing the moderation queue.
• Being a good role model for the community.

Full-training will be provided for each selected applicant, although it will only benefit your application if you have prior knowledge of moderating forums.

How To Become a Moderator
It all begins with submitting an application to become a "moderator in training" on the staff application page.

Once you've submitted your application, please do not message any of the staff members to inquire about the status of your application. If you are selected, you will be notified. Just like when you apply for any job, volunteer or paid, there's always a chance you may not get the job. If you aren't promoted right away, don't be disheartened. Rather, bear in mind that there's a lot of discussion that goes into each applicant we consider, therefore it takes us some time to select a moderator as we carefully consider each potential candidate.

Can they be applied more than once for moderation? If the application is rejected, is there any way to know?

I would like to know about this, if possible.

Zwielicht said:

You can apply multiple times. In fact, there have been several volunteer moderators who have done so after not having their first applications accepted.

There isn't a hard and fast rule on how long to wait, but I'd say if it's been about 3 months, you can apply again.
