SITE NEWS: Moderators needed!

Tagged as: Site News<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (21 July 2007) 30 Answers - (Newest, 11 November 2007)
A male United Kingdom, *earCupid writes:

Hi, with the site getting busier all the time I'm looking for new volunteer moderators... PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE RESPONDING -- many moderators drop out after just a couple of weeks so if you're not committed please don't apply!

Moderators approve new questions, think up of interesting and accurate titles and approve/reject answers. MOST moderators get bored / don't have enough time and drop out after a short time so if you don't have staying power, this probably isn't for you.

I'm looking for moderators who:

* love dearcupid :-))

* have been using the site for AT LEAST a month (if you haven't, you can't mod, sorry :-((()

* log on daily or every other day - even approving 10 questions a day would be a big help

* are highly rated on dearcupid

* have excellent grasp of english!

If you think that sounds like you and you'd like to help out, please drop me a private mail or reply here with a little info. If you don't match the criteria (i.e. you've just joined the site) please don't be offended if I don't reply to you.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Andrew

Dear Andrew;

While I am new to your teriffic site, I would love to help out as a moderator. That is if you havn't already been overwhelmed with responses.

I am a mature Father of two, who loves my kids curiosity, but can also address the older individuals who come here.

I have plenty of time to offer to your site and am glad to offer my services.

I checked the annomys box so that my answer would be private.

My Name is Michael, and my e-ady is [email address blocked]

look forward to hearing from you!

Im afraid this has got nothing to do with being a site moderator, however i was wondering if it was possile to add an "Edit my profile" section. My user name is mum2be, and im now a mum, and my blog says im 15, and im now 16. It would be a great way to give up to show people up to date info about yourself. All the best and u have a fab site.xxxxx

LISAG agony auntI would be more than happy to be a moderator, I couldn't promise logging on each and every day like some might, but I would commit to every couple of days on a regular basis. So if you feel I could help fill in the gaps as a "temp" I would love to!

Kind regards.

P.S. Funnily enough, I've been approached recently (through your website) to be an on-site/on-web Agony aunt for a new UK dating site (Dating Evolution). It's just started up so slow at the moment.

P.P.S. I will be totally honest and point out that I do often log onto Dearcupid late at night after a couple of glasses of wine, so am a little prone to ranting on a bit harshly maybe. (I check my followups always).

If given a proper role within the site I would be very particular to "moderate" only when sober !!

I personally think that there is a lot of advice flying around which is generally ok, but it's a bit of a "free for all" and there are a lot of young very influential people posting here for help... I think that defintely needs some sort of control !

I have worked at a youth centre (13-20 yrs)for the last 3 years (part/time) and I understand a great deal of the issues and politics that effect young people.

Artemesian agony auntI'd love to become a moderator as I think this is a great resource for people seeking support and answers and I'd be honoured to become a part of it. Being an Aussie, well a good grasp of proper English just comes naturally ; ) I log in daily, sometimes more and have spare time to devote to this project if I was to become a mod. Most people seem to like the advice I offer and I really enjoy helping people out if I can. Hope to hear back from you!

I can assure you that I have plenty of time to devote to the assignment, and if you check my advice (although I've only been a member for about a month) it is highly rated, sound and in the interest of the poster.

Thanks for your consideration

A reader, anonymous, writes (21 July 2007):

get replying people if you think you'd like to help out and fit the criteria that Andrew posted. I'm sure most of us have been in the position where we've posted a question and had to wait hours for it to be approved and then hours more for the answers to appear. It's frustrating isn't it?

If you can give a bit of your time, you can help other people in need of help get their questions and advice on to the site quicker and help ensure the quality remains good and helpful. Go for it :))
