Did you look behind the couch?

Seriously tho'. If 'mooters want to suggest others would you prefer the suggestions through the pm system to stop any on-thread "arguments"?

NM, I hadn't read the anouncement yet.

**crickhollow** · 12-01-2002, 01:47 PM

What is the daily or weekly minimum time committment for being a mod?

What is the average amount of time spent on the 'moot for mods?

***Ben*** · 12-01-2002, 10:12 PM

There's no minimum time commitment. If you visit whenever is convenient, that would be fine. Checking in at least daily seems like a good starting point.

***KhamÃ»l*** · 12-01-2002, 11:07 PM

Personally, I spend about a 45 minutes to an hour a day on the 'Moot. It takes about half an hour or so to wade through General Messages and then I scan the rest of the board to see if there's something I want to reply to. It probably wouldn't take someone moderating the LotR forums as long as me, since GM is so big.

***gdl96*** · 12-01-2002, 11:21 PM

I like your commitment, Khamul. See how my name is under the moderator column for the Star Wars Forum? I have a confession to make. I haven't even been in that forum for several months!

TinuvielChild · 12-02-2002, 12:47 AM

So what kind of application would convince you to pick that applicant as a mod?

***RÃan*** · 12-02-2002, 05:14 PM

Oh TC, you naughty thing!

Don't even THINK of applying now, you should be doing your science project!!

(joke!)

galadriel88 · 12-02-2002, 06:33 PM

So who all's applied? I did...

Duddun · 12-02-2002, 10:55 PM

I did

I probably won't get it

but I had to try.

TinuvielChild · 12-03-2002, 12:48 AM

I did...even though I really should be doing my science project....lol RÃ*an, I have way too much caffeine in my system and yet nowhere near enough...

Ms. Undomial · 12-03-2002, 12:49 AM

what kind of a "application" are we supposed to send you? ("you" meaning Bmilder) Can someone please give me a example?

***KhamÃ»l*** · 12-03-2002, 01:00 AM

Check the announcement at the top of the forum. For an example, do it something like this:

Username: KhamÃ»l
First name: Michael
(skipping a bit)
What Entmoot forums do you visit the most? Pretty much all of them, but mainly General Messages and the LotR forums.

Just make sure that you answer all the questions with an asterisk beside them.

***RÃan*** · 12-03-2002, 02:06 AM

TC - isn't caffeine one of the basic food groups?

I wish I could apply, but I don't have time to do it right now

But I promise to obey whoever gets the job

BeardofPants · 12-03-2002, 02:27 AM

Pity. You would make a good mod. And just think: you could get revenge on SGH if she pranks you!
