Kaguya Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Now, I can feel your fingers violently bashing against your keyboard in an incoherent melody of pure, unadulterated chaos asking why the hell we need more BMs. The truth is- we don't. Before anything else, I want to state that I really appreciate Kimanor's, Yukiru's, Heizel's and Ren's efforts as BMs. All of them spent several hours trying to make the site better, and I'm very grateful for that. That said, the program didn't work out too well. Maybe because there were too many BMs and there wasn't enough work, which led people to become semi-active. When the lounge was finally created, which was the main event for the forum I'm working with, everyone had already more or less quit because of the wait. Anyway, restructuring is needed to make the program work. I'm dismissing all of my currently assigned BMs and looking for volunteers. I'm limiting myself to 2 people- though it's very likely that I'll only pick 1. We don't need 9000000 bms. Ah, if anyone from my previous team wants to be the chosen one, they're more than allowed to. You'll pass through the selection, like everyone else. See it as a test of your resolve- you know how I work better than most members. You should be able to win this, no problems~ If you want to retain your position, put your lives on the line and fight the horde of invaders trying to steal it! Now, then. What will be your tasks as a BM: 1- You'll be a community leader alongside me. A community leader needs to set an example. Follow all of our rules! And know them too! (It's fine if I don't because I worked enough on the forums, though ) 2- Help >me< out in my tasks. Nosebleed is doing something on our board? Who the hell is that? You have absolutely no need to help out people who aren't >me<, you know~ As a global mod, I do things everywhere. I'll be looking for your help whenever I feel like I need it. Or when I want it. I have no idea what the other GMs will do with their teams, but in my case, you should see the position more like a squire. A shield-bearer! You'll help with moderation because I'm a moderator and moderating is boring. That's not the only thing you'll be doing, though. I have a lot of single projects planned out for the future (most of them comedic in nature, but~), and you'll be helping me out with them. That takes precedence over those silly things other mods are doing. I'm much more important than all of them <3 That means I'll also be taking you to help me out in other boards. Omg, OP, amiright? I have my fair share of activities planned for the VN section, the lounge, the coliseum and general discussion. Ambitious ones, this is your best chance to prove you'll make for good Global Mod material as fast and efficiently as possible~ Oh, this won't take too much of your time, though. Maybe a few hours per week? Like 4. Unless you want to spend a lot of it. On that case, the sky is the limit for how much of your time I'll be eating. 3- Be able to handle my style. If you can't tell yet, I joke around and deviate from work a lot when it's happening. If you can't pledge your soul and eternal obedience from the get-go, there's no talk. If you can keep me entertained as I work, that's great. This is a hobby site, after all. Being all work-focused and super-serious is a no-no. I can't handle that type of person, and I have no intention to. That's pretty much it. Now then, the most important part: "Marie-sensei, how do I apply to become your servant a board mod?" However you want to. Want to just say that you're up for it? Fine, just leave your name down here. You could also write a lengthy post. Or pm me. I like interesting, fun things, so if you want to message me a haiku explaining why you're the best pick, go ahead. You probably have good chances of being picked. If it's a good haiku, that is. I don't like sloppy writing. SoulJustIn, Tyrael and Kurisu-Chan 3 Quote
solidbatman Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 The whole board mod system needs to be done away with. Only reason you guys want them is less actual work. Most of the actual site decisions have been taken out of global's hands if I am not mistaken so there really isn't much left to do except day to day stuff. If you don't want to do the work, just step down. astro 1 Quote
Fiddle Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 so if you want to message me a haiku explaining why you're the best pick, go ahead. This is a haiku. "Haiku" has three syllables, Technically speaking. "Technically" doesn't. I don't even want to be This "board mod" shizzle. I just like haikus. They often don't make sense, though.

If you don't want to do the work, just step down. We have other functions besides being global mods, you know. I even specified it in my post, but I'm looking for someone who will help me with my projects more than someone who will help me moderate (which they'll also be doing, since moderating is more or less one of my projects). Disclosing private stuff is also a no-no, but I do require help, which is why I'm asking for it. Stop attacking my family, batman This is a haiku. "Haiku" has three syllables, Technically speaking. "Technically" doesn't. I don't even want to be This "board mod" shizzle. I just like haikus. They often don't make sense, though. Refrigerator. *runs away poetically* Bravo! Won't you reconsider your global mod application? Please? Quote
Snowtsuku Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I want to be lead by ya-chin. However, I want a little more detail on what projects I have to work on. I just don't want to engage in things I don't think I can provide much. Quote
Eclipsed Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I'm on the same boat as Snowtsuku. The BM perk aside, if 'helping' with your projects / activities has anything to do along the lines of 'coming up with ideas / refining ideas,' I fear my capabilities as a servant will be severely limited Quote

The BM perk aside, if 'helping' with your projects / activities has anything to do along the lines of 'coming up with ideas / refining ideas,' I fear my capabilities as a servant will be severely limited Firstly, help out with moderation tasks, of course. There's a BM handbook with what you're supposed to do that will be available to you if you're picked. Things related to my projects include: Give me opinions and be a consultant in my LC position (which may or may not be a secret ). I was told I could bring anyone I felt was needed to discussion, and my squire would be an ever-recurring member in those discussions (hint: it involves convincing project leaders and Tay to do specific things [and much more often convince them not to do certain things, I think]) Brainstorm ideas for VN Club activities (we've had none so far, even though I've been saying we'd have them since the very beginning!), and give me their thoughts on which VNs should be selected before I put them up. If they're proficient with English, help me out with my reviews. I'm not too confident in my English, and having an editor for my corner, which will be active soon (I should be releasing at least one review per week starting from next month) would be really nice. If this works out, I'll be pushing for fuwa blog reviews. Do boring, clerical work for games I'm planning and help me keep my fuwa schedule (read: try be organized for me. This is a big deal. I always end up delaying everything for months. Messages remembering me that I promised to do something in a certain date would be great... I broke about 10 deadlines in the last 2 months ) Take part in Tay's VN mentorship program. This isn't mine, but it's an activity I'd really like to get the most people on. I do have 3 other projects planned for the near future, and your tasks in those would be mostly related to brainstorming (though talking about them now would spoil the surprise. If you can't make up your minds no matter what, I'll pm those to you). You don't have to do all of those, just a few that you feel more comfortable with. Having one to help with organization, editing and the LC and other to help with all the brainstorming (it takes much more time than expected) would be really nice. Quote
Eclipsed Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 LC...? Leadership Council?

Kosakyun Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 10/10 Eclipsed. That being said, goodluck finding great BMs. <3 Quote
Mr Poltroon Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 While I'm not here to apply (sorry, Kaguya, sorry), I shall just leave one thing clear as day. What you're applying for here seems much more like selling your soul to the devil, or in this case, the scary alternative, Marie. Make no mistake, this is a ploy for Kaguya to acquire a contract-bound manservant that just so happens to have mod powers in a certain section. Please watch your backs, applicants. Torture and overworking awaits you on the other side, though I don't doubt you'll get access to privileged info from Kaguya's leaky mouth, think carefully about whether or not it's fine to put your life at stake for it. This concludes my public service announcement. The board mod right here is essentially becoming Kaguya's assistant, in pretty terms. While moderating a board will be listed in your official duties what you need to worry about are your unofficial ones. In hopes of not provoking the wrath and ire of Marie, who I very much agree is a good community leader and have no doubts will make good use of said board mod, sincerely, Tiago.

Cofee Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Hopefully I'll also get personal loli. Do I leave my name here? Yes, I'd like to make contract with you Quote

PM me or something Nakuya. (I won't be your underling though) Quote
Snowtsuku Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I don't think I can't provide much time in those various activities. I wish you good luck. Quote
