RMS Forum is Hiring

[yC]

Hello,

It has been almost a month since one of our global moderator (JJJ) left the job.  I can see Descent and Pow is doing a fine job.  As such, Descent will be promoted to moderate more area of the forum (that include Server Discussion,  Server Advertisement & sub-forum, Server Reviews and Server Seeking) so he can help out more.

It is my wish to have a team of quality staff to monitor this forum so I can focus on working on the main site without worries.   So, I believe it's time to employ more help to keep this forum organized.  Hopefully qualified people will apply. 

At this point, we will hire sectional moderators.  We will observe their performance and determine if they can be promoted to moderate more area of the forum or become a global moderator in the future.

Why do you need to be unassociated with a server for moderating the off-topic section?

[Dauphine]

To make sure you won't advertise your own server at any given chance? Or something?

[LemonCrosswalk]

People can't advertise anyway in the off topic section.

[Descent]

Why do you need to be unassociated with a server for moderating the off-topic section?

To keep moderators from posting biased material(Wikis, Videos, etc.).

[LemonCrosswalk]

I hate to still argue this, but someone can apply who is actually a GM or is biased and not disclose it. Wouldn't it be more productive if the staff knows the person's bias so they can monitor it?

[horo]

I agree with Lemon, it's not like posters here would let an Moderator get away with that for one second.

[Related Work Experience]

Moderation of various non-RO related communities, including romhacking and gbatools.
Moderation of some RO server forums, however I cannot provide evidence as said servers are now closed.

[RO Experience]

iRO / jRO / kRO player for 3 years now
I constantly hop between private servers, and I run my own test server where I occasionally test out various builds and strategies for WoE and all that.  I also test item scripts, new NPCs and new instances before released officially by eA.  Access to this is from one of the developers, who I help test out the newer SVNs.

[Current relation to RO servers if any]

Currently a player at GenerationRO and numerous others, although thats the main one for now.

[Time you will be spend on your forum moderation job, average daily]

Depends on what I'm doing, but an average would roughly be about 5 hours a day, but during the weekends I could spend up to 10 hours moderating the sections.

[Additional information you wish us to consider]

Recommended by a staff member to post this application.

If you don't disclose, and anyone find out ... you will be fired.  It's like those lucky draw where family member of employee can't participate and even if you win your status will be voided  (... can't find a better example).

For the ratemyserver section, since it's dealing with server discussion directly we don't want GM or Owner to be in the there for obvious siding reason.  Because there is always the chance where your own server or the server you gm on show up in a discussion, review and/or hall of shame.

For everything including the above, RMS don't want unnecessary ties / associations to any server (owner) to create illusion of corruption.  If you apply as a GM of some server, we will also look at your tie/rank/position in the server to determine your suitability.  Say if you are the head gm or Admin of a server but you are not the owner, chances are your tie to the server is high and we might not want to hire you for that reason alone.  I am sorry if this is too picky, it's only reasonable for me to do that to keep the site/forum in good shape. 

Being in the RMS Team means you represent RMS, if you are in the RMS Team but also heavily represent some other server, then we have a problem.  Yes, you can say being a GM lower your chance of working here.  Of course it has an effect with reason mentioned previously (depending on your position and the position you are applying to), but we are not putting a clear cut on that to discourage applicants.

[LemonCrosswalk]

If someone is on the server, I'd say there is a 99% chance they are playing on a server/played on a server. If that was the case, they either probably 1) Prefer it and like that server over others or 2) Does not like the server and wants it to fail. Players can be just as passionate with their server wants and such. Anyway, none of the forum regulars here would just let him do favoritism without telling another moderator. It's the random talk thread anyway. If they are talking about servers over one or under one it shouldn't be in that section anyway.
