what does the job of being a mod require you to do?

Yes, you can't be a troublemaker and someone who continuously has "beefs" with multiple members and be People staff. People staff is for those integrated with the Community with good People skills.
Anywho. To get the gist of a Myspace/Xanga/LJ staffer: QUOTE Being a Myspace mod, I have to check the skin database (and if there's acceptances, I have to upload the images, check the code to make sure it's not jocked, resize screenshots if they're not the right size, etc., which can all be quite enough for one day depending on the number of acceptances), check if there is any scripts submitted to accept/reject, go through Myspace Help and see if there are any topics I can answer, close, move, etc., check through Myspace Showcase and do the same....and that's only the Myspace forums. I also have the Webmaster's Corner that I moderate. Plus, I'd also like some time to use Createblog for what I really love about it - the whole community. Not only the community forums, but just to interact. Then I have to check Backstage as well. I can post on Design too, if you want, since I've been that as well as People. |
