Please be patient during the selection process, we will make an announcement as soon as we know who the new staff will be and PMing us to ask about it won't speed anything along
We are looking to hire another 1 - 3 people to become moderators for the roleplay boards. Applications will probably be open for about 3 - 7 days, depending on how many applications we receive.
We are only accepting applicants who are 16 or older. Please read the entire post before asking questions or applying.
Despite strict, clear rules on behavior in the roleplay boards, there is an ongoing problem with people breaking rules and posting content which we don't want to see on CS. We have a team of moderators dedicated solely to the roleplay boards to take care of issues in that area of the forum, and we need some more people for that team.
The duties of a roleplay mod include (but are not limited to):
- Deleting, editing, or locking off-topic posts, bullying, inappropriate content, and spam from within the roleplay boards
- Giving careful attention to keeping romance and violence in RPs at an acceptable level and within site rules/limits, for the safety of younger users in particular.
- Responding to topic/post reports where players have identified a problem in the roleplay boards
- Dealing with art theft issues from images posted within the roleplay board
- Helping to sort out disputes between members and acting without bias
- Warning members who have broken site rules
- Referring members to an admin or senior moderator if their behavior warrants a ban
Because of the nature of the content you'll be hired to censor and remove, I need a mature, older (16+) member who enjoys roleplaying and has a lot of time for CS. Do NOT apply if you are under 16 years of age.
Please DO NOT APPLY if you...
...are younger than 16, or if you're older than this but feel uncomfortable reading gruesome violence or mature romance scenes in roleplays. We are not interested in hiring anyone younger than this, because your job will involve censoring content which isn't appropriate for younger viewers. We're not going to make exceptions for mature younger members, because it wouldn't be an appropriate task for us to give you, and there are plenty of adults for us to choose from. I'm not going to ask for your age, because we don't ask for/share that information on CS, but if you're a member from the US then we already have your birthdate on record so don't lie about it.
...have previously had warnings for bullying, fighting, inappropriate roleplay behaviors, cheating, or art theft; unless these warnings were later cleared by a staff member, happened a long time ago, or were not particularly serious (e.g. forgot to credit a reference properly)
...have been a member for less than 6 months
...have made fewer than 300 forum posts
...spend less than 2 hours on CS on your average day
...have never participated in roleplays before, or have only begun roleplaying in the past month
...hate the CS roleplay boards
So, do you think you have got what it takes to be a roleplay moderator?

PLEASE DO NOT POST IN THIS TOPIC UNLESS YOU ARE APPLYING, OR WANT TO ASK A QUESTION ABOUT THE JOB OR APPLICATIONS.
Posts along the lines of 'aww, I'm not old enough' or 'I hope you get hired Sally your application is really good' will be deleted.
Applicants who I know to be under 16 will have their applications deleted.
