YAholics Anonymous! discussion

Hey everyone! So the group has been steadily increasing in size, and now we're almost at 1000 members. Due to the hectic lives of us moderators and the expansion of the group, we now are looking for some new, creative moderators to help run the group!!

Mod Responsibilities

Including, but not limited to...

1.) Keeping The Forum Clean - Moving expired topics to archives, making sure the games threads are running smoothly, ect.

2.) Must Be Creative - Be able to come up with fun and exciting new games, ideas, and challenges.

3.) Must Be Active - Preferably you would be on at least once a day to check in on the group. We understand sometimes this is impossible (illness, family obligations, etc) but for the most part, be accessible to other mods and members.

4.) Must Be Friendly and Inviting - Be warm and bubbly when new members come in and introduce themselves. You'll be their first impression of the group!

5.) Mediator - Big groups often mean big drama. It'll be your job to try and quell any group disagreements and keep everyone getting along - in the nicest way possible, of course!

6.) Gamers - As a mod, you'll want to keep the games up to date and fun. As in, post in the games that have been dead for a while, as well as posting new questions for the Trivial Pursuit and Hangman threads.

Questions to Ask Yourself Before Applying...

Are you comfortable moderating "big" events for the group, like Read-A-Thons and Scavenger Hunts?

Will you have enough time to really commit to the job or will you be distracted by other groups?

And finally the application!

This is definitely still open! I myself am having trouble finding time lately, and I think many of the other moderators have had busy lives as well, which may be why the group has been empty lately.

So, if you want to be a moderator, I can make you one :)
