Every now and then, we need new moderators for the board. If you are interested in becoming a moderator, please apply by answering the following questions and sending your application to me by Personal Message.
Before Applying:
You must understand that being a mod means "work", and it's not just a nice title next to your name. So, please, consider this before applying. We've had quite a few mods come and go because they could not keep up with the tasks they were assigned to, even after a short period of time.
Application:
1. Why would you like to become a moderator on this board?
2. How often do you usually visit the Petz Forum?
3. How much time (per day/week) do you think you can devote to modding the board?
4. How old are you?
Conditions To Apply:
- You must be at least 13 years old.
- You must have been a member for at least 60 days.
- You must be an active member.
- You must have had no warnings (0% warning level) for at least 3 active months.
- People who have been known to cause any kind of trouble at any time will not be considered.
NOTE: Applying does not mean you are going to become a moderator. It only means that you will be added to the (probably long) list of people who would be interested in becoming a mod at some point, and from which we can choose whenever needed.

Hi, Can you put a little info about what amount/kind of work people can expect if they do become a moderator? I'm interested because I am not sure how much time/etc it actually takes to do the job...

Moderators have specific boards they are in charge of (usually two or three of them). Their duties include: - cleaning up old posts on their boards - checking for rule violations all over the forum (bmps, forum advertising, double posting, etc.) - moving posts to the correct boards - general rule enforcement, question answering, situation defusing I usually spend about half an hour a day modding (on top of the time I spend posting and just being a member of the forum). It's not a very strenuous job. If people would follow the rules it would be positively easy! Hope that helped!

Also if you have a board like Games or Adoptions or Shows, you have to PM people when the thread goes cold... you know unjudged shows, unsent adoptions, reminders to post answers to games etc. Just keep the board running basically!

ill be thirteen in a month, but I don't know if you'll want me to be one since I didin't keep the Express Show thing going, I never expected it to have so many shows, Im sorry about that, Ill try applying when I turn thirteen if they havent been taking. I am sure I could handle the responsibility , but if the posistions are already filled when I turned thirteen i am sure they will be filled by people wh oare good for them;
for when i am 13,
1. Why would you like to become a moderator on this board? I love to help people, and I always see boards that the mods have overlooked that may need to be deleted or moved, I belive I am good at sorting out problems and figuring out something that everyone agrees on. I belive I am responsible.
2. How often do you usually visit the Petz Forum?
Everyday, except when I go on vacation which I always inform people of and is rare.
3. How much time (per day/week) do you think you can devote to modding the board?
As much time it needs a day 1- 2 hours or more, however long it takes to get everything sorted out and all my Mod duties are done, except I would still check back during the day to make sure everything was going alright
4. How old are you?
I am 12 now but on August 9th I will be turning thirteen, since your rules say I must be thirteen I am only asking that you look at this form once I turn 13
thank you for taking the time to read this

2. How often do you usually visit the Petz Forum? Everyday
3. How much time (per day/week) do you think you can devote to modding the board? Almost all day (I've jsut finished GCSE's no more work!), but I am going away for 11 days this month. And September I will be writing quite alot of essays, but I've always found time for the net.
4. How old are you? 16 on the 3rd Aug

1. Why would you like to become a moderator on this board? Even though this is the only forum I visit regulary, It is still the most popular forum I know of, It would be great to be a moderator on a board like this one. I have been here for a while and have grown very attatched to this place, and its members. I know all the ins and outs, rules, etc. I think I could do a good job Mod-ing. I always like to be helpful and will do the best I can to help keep this place running smoothly.
2. How often do you usually visit the Petz Forum? Absolutly everyday, This is the first website I come on as soon as I'm on the net, and theres always a window open so I can refresh it every so often to check for new posts.
3. How much time (per day/week) do you think you can devote to modding the board? Everyday, as long as I'm on the net. As I'm on my holidays, I will be on here most days, and if I am, It will most likely be all day, or all afternoon. When I'm at school, It will be all evening, as I'm not allowed out after school by my dad, because he is evil.
4. How old are you? Im 15, 16 in January of next year.
And also, Ratqueen, I posted on the 'Show' Board, Sorry, Didnt realise I could get into this one aswel, until I tried it. I can't access any other boards.. But apparently neither can most people. Thanks.
Also, Anyone actually realised we're supposed to send applications Via PM?

1. Why would you like to become a moderator on this board?I love to be on here, and I'm interested in almost all of the parts of it. I'd love the opportunity to help make things work on the forum and help new and old members with any problem they might have. I never take sides in arguments either, so if something was to happen with a member I'd listen to what they have to say as well. And as my friends say, I'm a very devoted worker! 2. How often do you usually visit the Petz Forum?I'm on the Forum everyday, when I come home from school and sometimes in the morning before school to see if anything new has been posted. And that's for the past three months! I usually leave the "Most Recent Posts" page minimized and refresh it every 10 mins to check for new threads! 3. How much time (per day/week) do you think you can devote to modding the board?I'd say about three to four hours a day, because I could be modding and doing things like entering shows. At the minute when I'm going round I always spot things and I think, "a mod needs to sort that out" ;D 4. How old are you?I'm 14, 15 in January

Oh! I didn't notice this thread! Is it really through PM? I am not sure! I don't want to overcrowd RQ, so I will post here ;D 1. Why would you like to become a moderator on this board?I would love to because I enjoy helping out, have a good, friendly personality, and love petz! I also enjoy challenges, and am eager to try new things ;D I have also been on this forum for months, and am very dependable and trustworthy!! 2. How often do you usually visit the Petz Forum?Practically every day. To be honest, being the summer, It may be every couple of days sometimes, as I may go on vacation for a few days at a time, but that won't be often, since I plan to get a job soon 3. How much time (per day/week) do you think you can devote to modding the board?As much as is needed. I'll spend all day if the board needs me! 4. How old are you?18. My birthday is Feb. 13, 1986

You might have already chosen Mods (which I am sure you made good choices if you did) but I put my application on my post for when I turn 13 in about 20 days, if you could consider it then

Yep, I've got all the applications saved in my inbox. I received LOTS of them, so I hope nobody will feel bad if they are not chosen this time around. I will keep all the apps I've received for the future, if needs be
