we’re looking for community mods!
we’d like to get some more people on board to help us manage both the Discord server and the forum. we are looking for:
people who are (bodily) 18 years or older. Alt+H is legally incorporated, so we have certain legal responsibilities to volunteers. managing that is simpler when we don’t have to contend with child volunteering laws, which vary massively by country and even US state. there’s also, of course, some experience that comes with age, especially in relating to other people.
people who have a good handle on their mental health. it’s essential that you’re able to keep a level head when dealing with server incidents so as not to escalate them further. preferably you should also not have any triggers that are so unavoidable that they’d hinder your ability to mod.
people in timezones outside of central time, mountain time, eastern time, and greenwich mean time. this isn’t a hard requirement, but we probably will give preference to folks who can fill the gaps in our current coverage, since we’re all kinda clustered around the east coast of the united states and the british isles right now.
people who are going to be active on the server/forum. we want mods who are a part of the community, not just someone who steps in to make rulings and then steps out again. as far as we’re concerned, keeping discussion lively is part of the gig.
previous mod experience is nice but not required – as long as you have the soft skills, we can teach the actual mechanics of moderation and our specific policies. you can apply to be a moderator on both our platforms, on just the server or forum. (also, we’re prioritizing looking for forum mods, because the mod team for that is much smaller, and activity is lower, and we’re hoping to give it a boost.)
if you wanna help out, you can join our discord to view the application form
(you must be a member of the Discord regardless of which platform you want to mod for, because that’s where our staff room is)
we’ll be leaving the form open for a month, after which we’ll contact the people we’re interested in taking on. we hope to see you there!
