Moderator ship requirements

• 2 months minimum join time before applying for a staff position.
  
• No minimum post count requirement will be required for moderator ship.
  
• No endorsements will be required .
  
• Must be an official member/official designer in order to apply for staff .
  
• Must have 7 ppd before applying for a People staff position.
  
• Must have 5 ppd unless exceptionally qualified before applying for Design staff position.

Moderator Hiring Process

• Moderators nominate people they want for any category, no matter their category.
  
• There is no minimum of nominations we must have, but the maximum for each separate category is 10.
  
• Once all the nominations are said and done, polls are made for each category with the nominations.
  
• The community votes on those previously made nominations on who they think is best.
  
• Heads and Administrations use both the community and mod input to make their final decision.
  
• New moderators are hired.

I don't get it. The first section I've quoted states that people apply for staff. The second states that they are nominated by current moderators. So which one is it? One or the other is unnecessary.

Yeah, I noticed that, it's the last one. I'm thinking we will be using the first as basis of which to nominate people.

the first section was completed befor ethe last moderator hiring.

we need to make it read things like 'must have 7 ppd before BEING NOMINATED for staff', etc, instead of apply

all those require changes.

anyways; i think there needs to be a clause to allow the immediate banning of someone who is blantantly trolling, and anyone with thier same IP. or at least the immediate suspension.

mmm... i agree.

some form of emergency powers

Alright. So you guys can add that in. The by-laws have been approved by Christina and I. The only thing (it's minor) is that the third admin will be chosen when Christina and I see fit, meaning after some time. I'm going to wait till Jusun approves.

maybe warnings/suspension would be a better title?



instead of category, staff position would be a better word choice.



so what happens when there are more than ten nominations, which is totally probably considering any staff member can nominate anyone? i mentioned this some time ago.. this 10 limit doesnt serve any purpose, since the number 10 was the limit set by the maximum number of poll choices. however, it was later agreed that the polling system will not work for "voting in" the new moderators.



again, no polls will be made, since the forum software polling system does not let you select multiple choices, therefore, you will only be able to vote for one staff member, no matter how many you think is qualified!

i feel like we're going in circles here. i mentioned the two above in backstage, yet nothing was modified / deleted / added!

i agree with the first two points, that's just tweaking stuff

i agree with the second point as well... did that even happen last time? i SO dont even remember voting on that. ah well. anyway, yeah the poll is not workable

why didnt you say something about it HERE. you knpow, where the decisions were being made?

Member Group Requirements

• Official Members will keep a 5 ppd.
• People/Head Staff & Admin must have 7 ppd.
• Design Staff must keep a 5 ppd unless they are exceptionally qualified.
• 200 posts now required in order to become an official member.

I just wanted to see the approved by-laws, on the official member's thread it says only 50 posts required in order to become an official member.

• Lend a hand and be active in the community. Get at least 50 posts under your belt and maintain a minimum of 5.0 posts per day.

Since all the technicalities about the process of hiring has been sorted out, the by-laws are officially in use. The modding aspect is what was keeping everything on hold.

Thanks for bringing it back.

Wait, the advertising section is the only part of the by-laws that is incomplete.

I guess it's complete now?

Micron added it to the community guidlines under "Advertising"

i'm spiritual winged aura.

and i'm ur mother.

we dont need all this nonsense.

keep it up and ill delete the posts.

may i be added?

^Being that the by-laws are currently in effect and aren't being worked on anymore, we don't need to add anyone to the by-laws committee.

So to even qualify for any sort of position, you have to maintain a high PPD?

Well, it's something that's looked at, but any of these requirements can be overlooked if the person is exceptionally qualified.

When you say exceptionally qualified, what specifically do you mean? (This is out of curiosity.)

well, for example, dani (and me, also) were added as lj staff both when are ppd were below 5, because we were both deemed exceptionally qualified in livejournal.

Well, for People Staff, it usually means something like even if your PPD is low, but if you prove that you're regularly active within the forums, you will probably have a better chance. I would think this would usually be in the case of an older member having a long hiatus and then coming back, finding their PPD much lower.

For Design Staff it could mean something like if they help around the Resource Center often and do a good job of answering questions.

Since the PPD is usually as a reference of a person's activity (though not necessarily completely accurate). I know PPD isn't the only requirement, but it seems to be the only one that you actually have to maintain yourself.

That makes sense. Thanks. :)
