Administrator Applications
Administrator Applications
As you know, the recent resignations of Dark Cloud and SIN have left us with less administrators than normal. We currently have one Head Administrator, one Role-Play Administrator (Sreeya), two Faction Administrators (Lavi and Matt, the latter of whom just switched roles), and one jack of all trades Administrator (Jiang). Not counting our fearless Tech Administrators, that leaves us with only five site admins.
In order to fix this, we're currently opening applications for three (3) new administrators. We're going to expedite this process and NOT have a nominating process where other users nominate people for administrator. Instead, we're just going to receive applications from people who are interested in becoming an administrator and then we'll choose. Prior to doing so, we'll consult with respected users, like faction leaders and some other people, to ensure that we've made solid choices.
This is not going to be a regular occurrence, but, given, the need for new administrators, we do need to speed up the process.
Application
The following is the application you need to send in if you would like to become an administrator:
Two other requirements are that a) you must be at least 16 years old to become an administrator and b) you must have at least 1,000 posts to become an administrator. These requirements can be waived for exceptionally qualified candidates.
If you become an administrator, you will also be part of a two month probationary period where your job title will be “Staff in Training.” This will allow us to see how you perform during that two month period and whether you are a good fit on the admin team. If you are, you will either become a Role-Play Administrator or a Faction Administrator, depending on where you best fit on the team. If you are not, then your time as an administrator will end when the probationary period is over, or it will end beforehand if it is deemed necessary.
Please send in all applications by 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday, January 4, 2012. The application window will be closed after that time, unless we choose to extend it. Applications must be Private Messaged to me.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or post here at any time during this process. Posting here is the preferred means, as that way other members who have the same question will see the answer.
Thanks, and good luck to all who are interested!
The following is the application you need to send in if you would like to become an administrator:
1. Do you want to be a Role-Play Administrator, a Faction Administrator, or do you have no preference? Choosing no preference will not be held against you.
2. Why do you want to be an administrator?
3. Why should you become an administrator?
4. What experience do you have in terms of organization and management?
5. What will you bring to the position?
6. If there was one thing you could change with the current staff, what would it be? This is not a question about individual administrators themselves, but rather how the staff operates.
7. How important is it to you that administrators role-play?
8. What do you feel will be your greatest strength as an administrator? Why?
9. What do you feel will be your greatest weakness as an administrator that you will have to remain mindful of? Why?
10. What are things that a good administrator should be doing on the website? Why?
11. What are things that a good administrator should NOT be doing on the website? Why? A good way to think about this is if you have ever seen an administrator act in a way that is unbecoming of their position, or if you have ever seen an administrator overstep what you feel should be their boundaries. Please do not name names.
12. Taking into account all of the previous questions, if you were to define the word “administrator” for this website, how would you define it?
13. What came first, the chicken or the egg?
