It's that time of the year again! Well, it's been more than a year. I think the last moderator recruitment process was a bit too formal, causing a lot of wait time in new mods starting to get to work. So, this time it'll be lot of scrambled mod recruitment. If person looks well suited, they'll be recruited independent of others' recruitment status.

 

 

We need NON-ENGLISH contributor mods.

English has plenty, and I think it will always have plenty due to that every contrib mod will speak english.

If you speak any other language that frequents batoto (other than eng), we need you. Quite badly.

 

Spanish is needed very much and pretty much always has a queue.

 

Task:

  • Review mod queue. Approve/remove/lock/unlock comics uploaded by people.
  • Handle issues that come up in QA forum.
  • verifying correctness of uploads

Note that every contrib mod can moderate all languages. But a single language will be your focus.

 

Requirements:

  • Unless you are applying to be the English contribution moderator, we need you to be fluent in both the language you are applying for and English. We need everyone to be able to speak English so that we can communicate with each other.
  • Someone who is mature, composed and has a lot of common sense.
  • Complete and thorough reading of our forum rules and hosting policies are a must.
  • And above all, we want to know that we can trust you to take the right actions.

Training will be taken place first, so please be aware of that. 

 

 

Forum Mods

Not as urgently required. Maybe 1~5 spots.

 

Task:

  • Enforce the forum rules.
  • Handle issues that come up in Moderator reports. (viewable by mods/admins only)

Specific forum applications are also accepted.

 

Requirements:

  • Someone who is mature, composed and has a lot of common sense.
  • Complete and thorough reading of our forum rules are a must.
  • And above all, we want to know that we can trust you to take the right actions.

 

How to apply (pick one)

  • Reply here
  • PM me (I will then post it on staff forum so other staff can see)

Thanks for all the application to all above and those by PM!

 

Current status:

I'm not closing the application just yet, but doesn't seem like I'll be getting anymore anyway. Largely because I'd still like to see more different language submissions.

 

From more than a dozen applicants, about half the people are now in 2nd round and other half are not there yet. Simply because I can only handle so much... I'll get to you!!!

 

Mako has been promoted to Contrib Mod (spanish) and a separate announcement(s) will be made later to congratulate them together.
