actually Ryan specified this one : moderators@programmingtalk.com

*sigh* I was going to sign-up for being a PHP/MySQL moderator. Guess im too late, oh well.. 8)

Best of luck time next :)

email sent for the C/C++ forums, hopefully my being new to the forums won't scare you off to much.

I've liked what I've seen in my short time here and am looking forward to posting in the future.

Ryan any ideas when the new moderators are picked ?

Thanks,

Just to let everyone know, I have opened another position for the PHP/MySQL forums.

Chris, there is no time frame for when they are picked. There are several factors that are going into who I pick for the Community Leader positions.

Ok thanks Ryan

Just wondering if you will be replying to all emails you get or just the ones accepted?

if that is the case, did you recive my e-mail ? I sent it in the day you posted this topic ..


*hopes you've read it :(

/me sits down to send another email.

The fun never ends :)

Ryan, since the PHP section is filled, why don't you give the leader position to the poeple you've chosen so they can start working ?! and as for other sections once they are filled assign the new moderators ..

Right! I noticed that many forum sections are filled up; with spam, cross-posts etc.

Btw, I emailed you my application...

As I said in a post on the second page of this thread, I hae opened another PHP and MySQL Community Leader position. As for the other forums, I have not received many applications for them. I have received some and I'm reviewing them. Keep in mind there is more that goes into picking a Community Leader than just an application. ;)

And remember it dosn't require much. Any good person with vB forum knowledge is appliciable.

I'm not sure how you figure that. vB forum knowledge actually plays very little into the decision of who becomes a Community Leader. ;)

vB isn't the easiest forum to use in the world.

half its customers use it because it was the first board out for php/mysql..

wBB2.1 is way better..

While I may disagree with you on that issue it is irrelevant nonetheless. The choosing of Community Leaders has nothing to do with whether or not they are able to run a forum. Their function is to help out in the community and enforce the rules.

Yeps... Guess a good community management skills comes into play here rather than technical issues about vBulletin.

Is the pay hourly?

Are Moderator positions still open ?

Is the pay hourly?This is not a paid position. Are moderator positions still open ?Yes, positions will remain open until I close them (at which point I will make a post announcing so).

Positions are still open and I'm still accepting applications. If you feel that you would like to be a Community Leader on ProgrammingTalk.com then please email me your application.

now I can see YourPHPPro is the new moderator of PHP section ..
does that mean moderation positions of this section is full now ?!
also I've asked you if you've recived my e-mails before but you didn't answer me Ryan ? :(

I feel positions remain open till Ryan formally announces !!

My apologies NeverMind, I have received your application. Positions for all forums remain open until you see a side note next to the forum name that state that the positions for that section have been filled.

Ryan, got my application for general advertisement forum?

Would you inform us through e-mail, which members are selected?

Yes I received your application. If I select a member to become a Community Leader they will be contacted via email.

just curiosity... (my english is not so fluent to be a mod)

are the mods been paid? have they got any advantage?

thanks

no, they aren't paid..
This is not a paid position.

the advantage is that you will be a community liaison of a forum which is a part of iNet ;)

But I don´t understand...

I´m sure the owner of places like this, sitepoint, webhostingtalk... earn a lot of money with the publicity.

Then, why can´t they share a bit of that money with their mods?

I think these places are great thanks to the mods job.

The Community Leader positions are not paid positions nor do I see them becoming paid positions anytime soon. The Community Leaders are not "scheduled" to be on the boards at any particular time and they are doing this because they want to be a part of the community and help out.

Ok, thanks very much for the aclaration

:)
