Thank you to everyone who served in the last rotation, especially since it has extended a bit beyond your original end date. You've all been wonderful!

That said...it's time to get hiring for the Fall rotation. Moderators and Operators are staff positions that work in the Department of Technology and report to the Master of the Watch. The terms will start October 20th, 2021 and run through April 30th, 2022 (a little over 6 months total).

The requirements to be a moderator/operator are as follows:
  • You must be a member of at least 3 months
  • You must check the boards/Discord regularly (depending on what you would like to moderate)
  • You must possess tact and discretion
  • You must be willing to learn how to use xenforo/Discord moderation actions
  • You must be willing to turn on 2-factor authentication on your forum and/or Discord account(s) for the duration of your service
  • You must be willing to unblock all Tower users on Discord, and/or remove all users from 'ignore' on the forums, and keep them that way for the duration of your service
Moderators

Moderators will be responsible for the General Forum, Discussion Halls, and Book/Show Discussion Forums. In previous discussions about the forums, there has been an argument made that certain forums would benefit from dedicated moderators who help promote activity in that forum. Anyone who believes that a certain forum would benefit from a dedicated mod should discuss that in their application. If we do not get enough applicants to support dedicated moderators, all mods hired will be responsible for all forums.

Moderators will be responsible for periodically checking the forums to ensure everything is running smoothly - note that moderators are not expected to read every single thread, but to be generally aware of forum activity. They will also be responsible for alerting the Master of the Watch should an issue arise, for handling to any reported posts within their purview, and working with the Master of the Watch and other moderators to resolve any issues that may arise.

In your application, please include the following information:
  • Why you would like to be a forum moderator
  • Your availability and how often are you online
  • Any ideas you may have for moderation moving forward
  • Is there a specific forum you would like to moderate? Why does this forum needs a dedicated moderator?

Discord Operators

Operators will be responsible for moderating the Tower Discord server, enforcing Tower policies, diffusing any flare-ups that may occur between members, assigning roles to new members and helping them with any Discord-related questions, and assisting the Master of the Watch in developing the server. You will receive training, so you may apply even if you have never worked with Discord's moderation tools before.

In your application, please include the following information:
  • Why you would like to be a discord operator
  • Your availability, how often you are on Discord, and your time zone (we would like as much coverage as possible)
  • Any ideas you have for our Discord server moving forward
-----
I'm looking for at least 4 moderators for the forums and at least 4 operators for Discord. If you would like to apply and meet the requirements, please send in an application to moderators@tarvalon.net, technology@tarvalon.net, and keeper@tarvalon.net by October 15th, 2021 with the subject line APPLICATION - [POSITION] - [YOUR NAME]. You are welcome to apply for both a moderator and operator position, just indicate that in your application/subject line. All current mods and ops must re-apply to keep their position.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me via e-mail, PM, or on Discord.

*peeks in*

Time flies when you're having fun! I meant to do this on Friday and then...suddenly...Sunday? Where'd you come from?

Anyway, I'm going to extend this application deadline to Wednesday at 11:59PM PST. If you're curious about what it means to be a moderator, give me a holler!

I’m working on an update. Hopefully we will have an announcement soon, with the understanding of there being multiple holidays over the next week or so. But there is movement. Thank you all for your patience.
