Call to english speaking forum moderators / animators

Julien,

Depends on what a moderator might be required to do....

Admin sounds attractive to me but I donŽt know HTML even, let alone any of the other web languages.

Hi Manilva15b,

no need to know any technical stuff, I am in charge of that

We need native english speakers to start new debates on the forum, moderate the forum (I mean delete advertisement, ban spammers -we only had one case at the moment-), help us with the monthly newsletter and global communication ...

What do you think?

Hello, I would be very interested in a position like this. I am currently living in Germany and am not working so i have a fair amount of time on my hands. I am already a moderator for another site (www.blogmad.net) which is a busy blog traffic site. I am always looking for more to do.

I am a native english speaker, I love getting to know people and have lots of ideas about building great, friendly communities.

Thanks

You'll receive an email very soon lydia

Hi Julien,

Yes Me, I am interested to develop this website ? Do You need only English native ?
Anyway, If you need volunteer, I am available.

Ciao

I'd love to help unless there are enough volunteers; not a native speaker though.

If this call is still open, I am a native english speaker and am happy to mod if needed.

Yes the call is still open, thanks for your proposition. Where are you from?

Not a native English speaker...  I am ready to moderate only a tiny section of the forum - "Kenya" (both French and English)

We spoke about it already and I am ready to do it.

Though I have two questions:

A/ Do you have any guidelines for mod (like how to deal with promotional/commercial posts, trolls, etc.)

B/ Secondly, will I get an email everytime a post is added into the Kenyan section because I am somehow busy and can't spend my day here so an email notification would be nice.

Regards

That would be great peperuka!

Yes we've got guidelines, in a private moderator area

I'll give you access before the end of the week.

The idea is to animate and moderate a section: basically, the country you are living in.

Suggestions to animate the section:
add pictures
start topics on the forum about life in your country, eg "cost of living in Kenya", "how to find a job in Kenya", "integrate with Kenyans" ... there are so many things to say about every destination!

About the email notification, I will have to work on a specific program but I am sure I can arrange something!

Please let me know what you think

Hi Expat.com (that's a very original name !!)

I am ready to moderate it (review, asnwer, etc.) but I am not sure I can animate it, although I will certainly write stuff from time to time (like alert, important news).  The reason being that I prefer to write and animate my own sites/blogs, I hope this is understandable.

Email notification would be great !!

Rgds,
Peperuka

Hey Julien, I have AWOL lately, I'll try and do a little more now that things are settling down a bit.

Hi peperuka,

we are currently thinking about a new way to organize ourselves. I'll post again very soon!

Julien

Hi Julien,

That's fine !!
No hurry in Africa
