Job title: moderator
Post type: 1 year
Division: mod squad
Salary: none
Application deadline: 10th June 2012
As you may be aware, I became a first-time dad six months ago, and although I still somehow manage to find a good bit of time for computer-related activities, there is no way I can satisfactorily run this message board all by myself. So I need someone to help out, preferably on a daily or semi-daily basis.
The moderators will have access to the moderator forum and may in the future also enjoy other privileges yet to be named.
Duties
Work with myself and other moderators to give software support, banish trolls, obliterate spammers, moderate threads, give help and advice, and any other board-related duties I can think of.
