Not to be rude, but you are basically saying there 'your ability to make us more money while spending your time here' and not exactly offering anything up that would motivate me to volunteer (not that I would be a great canidate, but you catch my drift). Why not offer mods a few banner impressions, or a featured listing, or something of value..
I already have the ability to come here and help out others. I don't need a mod title to do it. Just saying if someone has to also spend their time deleting posts and keeping people in line it takes just that..time.
Just my 2 cents.

:cool: Well ibold I don't really think he means going a marketing campain for them :p Depending time constraints I wouldn't mind the chance to be a mod of this website even though I have very few post and have been inactive for a few months. :D

- CSS
- C/C++
- Everything Java
- C#

I can do C# Forum, if no one else wants it (even though there is not a whole lot going on in there). :)

well, I agreed upto some extent, I have been a MOD of php forum on a famous web developers community for the last three months, they do offer MODs something that can keep them interested in spending time in the forum,

well I am very busy with my projects but I would be helping people about PHP (this is what i am all about now a days) without putting MOD hat on my head in this forum, but just a suggestion to forum team that give some package like MODs can get premium listings in some categories etc so it will get you the best people out there.

Because it is a SOLID truth the more famous your forum is the more chances to make more bucks :) .. so why not to share some .. :)

What you didn't hear about the hot tub and executive bar? Oh and not to mention the the Mercedes. :D

I could help you guys on the CSS forum

If it's still needed I'll be more than happy to take CSS off of your hands. I have moderating experience at moderating on a few communities, and work on the support staff of Shockv2 which offers a premodded forum software.

P.S. I have references if needed

Thank you wambulance and FireLighter for your offers, but with all due respect, We barely know you guys. How about you guys keep posting, helping memebers, and get back to us in say a couple of months. :)

Thats the impression I got,

Its like being advertised as a major job opportunity with loads of criteria which the moderator has to achieve. When in actual fact its just a burden on the moderator, doing work for a website and getting no money in exchange.

The only thing really being offered in exchange is some form of "power" over the normal users.

lol now that would be nice.

People shouldn't see the modspot as a job. If you're here a lot anyway, and you like the community... then why not help out and move topics or whatever, if necessary? It takes like 3 minutes daily... if even that much. It's not a big deal. I'm mod on two other forums, and I don't get anything there either.

Nobody forced us to apply(or you for that matter), we wannted to help. Like Nico said, it's not like we have to spend the whole day surfing and moderating.. The load is very small compaired to other communitys, but that's besides the point.

I like to think of this as volunteer work, not as a job. I'm helping out of the goodness of my heart and remember money is not everything in life. :)

Thanks to everybody that applyed! :)

All posititions have been filled and applications will no longer be excepted.
