Think you have what it takes to be an admin?
Being an Admin can be a tough job. We've gotta make sure we have capable staff members who are willing to be devoted to the site. And just like for the moderators, before we can bump anyone up to being an admin, we need to know a few things about you.
But first, some things to know:
1) The only pre-requisite we have for applying for an admin is being a mod first.
2) We will only be promoting TWO moderators to become an admin, for a total of four admins and six moderators to run the site.It's only fair that we have moderators apply to be an admin. Our mods have experience and knowledge of running the forum. And besides, it wouldn't be fair to randomly pick a member and make them an admin before a mod! Mods work hard, and they deserve to be admins. You need to work up the ladder.
And of course, being an admin is a very serious thing (not saying getting our new mods wasn't serious). So, we're asking that the more experienced moderators apply. This does not mean that the newly appointed mods can't apply: it simply means to think long and hard before applying. We want to make sure that those who apply are fully prepared. Remember, only two can be admins: and we want the best two (and the more that apply, the harder it is to choose!)
So, now that you have read the requirements and have decided "Yes, I want to apply to be an admin because I think I have what it takes!", then continue on!
Simply take the form below and answer each section as best as you can. Details are always a good thing to have. Once you finish, send it to an admin to check over. We will message you back as soon as possible (within 3-4 days) with the answer.
- Spoiler:
Basic questions to get to know you!
1. How often are you online?
2. How long have you been a moderator on the site?
3. Have you ever been an administrator before or do you have any previous experience running a site (other than being a moderator on here of course)?
Next are a couple of personal questions. Please answer them as honestly as you can.
4. Why do you want to be an administrator on the site?
5. What qualities do you have that would make you a good administrator?
6. What do you think is the difference in responsibility between a moderator and an administrator?
7. What are some suggestions you would make to help improve the site?
Now for a couple of scenarios to make sure you're ready to become a mod.
8. If someone came to you complaining of a person who has broken the rules multiple times, how would you go about dealing with the situation?
9. If you are the sole admin and mod online and there is an argument in the CB, how would you handle the situation?
Once again, we apologize for the long questionnaire, but we want to be certain that we appoint admins that will benefit the site!
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for wanting to be a bigger influence to the site!
