Hi...
Quick question: when do you expect the new moderators to start their duties? (approximately).

Also: @emilyygeorgexx   would be awesome!
Well, the natural answer to this question is essentially when you're offered the role. But of course they know that every applicant will also have other things to commit to irl so you're never expected to be performing duties 24/7

I'm assuming you are asking this because the HSC is your focus right now but you definitely want to contribute long term? ;D

Answer: We want you to be focusing on your HSC right now, we wouldn't expect you to be doing anything until you are done ;D

I am not too sure if I am qualified enough to be a moderator since I haven't been able to contribute much over the years? Maybe fun_jirachi might be a good mod...

It's about quality not quantity. You could make 1,500 posts that are utter garbage, yet that's pretty much the equivalent of somebody who makes 300 really good posts that add significant value.

From my perspective as a former natmod, the main thing you need to have is a willingness to contribute in a positive way. That may mean writing guides, answering questions, keeping your section tidy etc.. It doesn't mean being active 24/7 but it does mean that you should come on every so often and help out, especially in the section you've been assigned. Probably the thing that frustrated me the most when new mods were appointed were the ones that just wanted the title and did (PG rated) not so much after they were given it.

Imagine if posts in spam sections e.g. forum games were counted, i'm sure majority of users would have significantly inflated post counts. Do all those posts count as quality? Hardly. Point is, you can still have a massive impact even if you post waaay less than somebody else.

If you think you're somebody who can improve the positive environment (whatever your post count is), then hey, just go for it and see what happens! You can't have too many nice people wanting to contribute to the growth of a student community!
