seqc will be busy throughout September-December so I will be in need of a co-mod (or 2 depending on how many applications we get). I will also be busy (especially when mid-terms/finals take over my soul), but will be around to help make sure things go smoothly. I am in charge of Affiliates & Suggestions as well as hosting challenges.
seqc is in charge of the Hall of Fame & hosting challenges once she is able to return.
So, that's why a new co-mod will tremendously help. So if you love Pokemon and adore oogling at digital squares, please apply! Applications will be accepted for about a week (or until there are enough applications & we pick a new co-mod). I'll update the status of this post throughout this week. All applications are screened. :)
CO-MOD DUTIES:
Hosting bi-weekly challenges: This is the most important duty that allows you to post challenges (with provided screenshots & resources unless it is a technical challenge), reminders, voting/concrit, tiebreakers, & winners. The new co-mod must be very familiar with Pokemon and HTML (LIMS/Rumble experience is a plus but not required).
Banner-maker Schedule: I need someone who can organize this better (extra points if you're a lover of making banners!). That post will be re-done by the new co-mod with new volunteers and a set schedule to keep track of.
Special Challenges: This is a growing community that is often doing something extra aside from our bi-weekly challenges. Each mod on board takes on a Special Challenge every now & then. We're looking to do something for the holidays coming up so we normally conduct a poll to see what the members are interested in.
Keeping contact with staff: If accepted, you will be required to provide an e-mail (MSN works best, but any e-mail works!) so we can all keep in contact if something comes up i.e. emergencies/unable to host a challenge/etc. Friending on LJ is definitely recommended, but not necessary if you are uncomfortable (messaging on LJ works fine).
Note: A co-mod is allowed to enter a challenge every now & then since we are the only icontest dedicated to Pokemon. Someone please make another icontest! XD Mods are not eligible for Mod's Choice; we did early on in the community but then thought it's best to limit us to placing.
If you are interested in being part of our crafty crew, please feel free to fill out an application! We would love to have a new person on board! :D
APPLICATION:
Name/Nickname: (Basically, what does everyone call you?)
What icontests are you currently (actively) modding and how long have you been with each? How long have you been participating in ? What attracts you to this icontest community? What areas in Pokemon are you best knowledgeable with? (Anime, Manga, Games, TCG, etc.) Do you feel you are familiar with the rules and have the ability to enforce them? Are you comfortable with coding voting posts? What about helping to host LIMS (Last Icon Maker Standing) & Rumble? Do you feel you can keep up with your duties at ? What other responsibilities do you have? (We just want an idea of whether or not you have enough time.)
Why would you like to be a co-mod? Anything else you'd like to mention or ask?
