Dear Members,
This is a call for volunteer Moderators for the RAFCommands forum. Since Ross has retired from the forum administration, the gigantic task of moderating this 24x7 has to be replaced by others.
We would like to have a team of 5 to 6 moderators from different timezones who will be visiting the forum once in a while to make sure all is okay. It does not require crazy technical skills. Anyone who can post on this forum should be able to handle this with a little bit of additional training.
The responsibilities are :
1. Keep a close watch on new members perhaps take a role in the approval process (if we decide not to automate it). Keep potential spammers out.
2. Nudge the members in the right direction once in a while when they stray on issues like copyright, etiquette etc
3. Delete spam/commercial posts as and when they occur.
Our forum members do a good job of moderating themselves and thus I would hope that it will not put too strenous a load on those who volunteer. The technical skills required will also be medium. I can help guide folks if required till they get the ropes
I believe a small team of five to six moderators would provide adequate coverage across all time zones. To keep things afresh, moderators can change their roles, hand over to others and get new members to volunteer after every year or two.
I have currently identified two members as Volunteers. So still looking for another three to four.
If you would like to personally volunteer, or would like to nominate some of the other senior members who would be an asset in such a role, please do post your name in this thread or by email via http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/sendmessage.php
