But whatever, y'know.

As far as I know they're still considered competitive, so unless they changed the idea of their team to be less about competition and more about social atmosphere I would suppose the answer to your question is yes it is still going on.

Not to say I agree with it, but it's just not my rule to change.

[Xx{Midnight}xX]

Two things
1. James if it's not done by the time I get home I'll do it myself.
2. Is there any objection to moving anime hour to 11pm Server time? (12am est, 9pm PST)

~Spring 2013 Moderator Sign-ups~

We are quickly approaching the end of this current year and do you know what that means? Yes, the start of a new one! And with that said, I’d like to start off the year with a fresh set of moderators. Why? To give you guys the opportunity to get involved and to show Team Blaze your team spirit!

Term Lengths:
Term lengths are going to be half a year. So Janurary 1st – June 31st for the Spring terms and July1st – December 31st for the Autumn terms. Moderators may re-run as many times as they please.

Anyways, I’m looking for moderators to do specific tasks, as opposed to a group of people that are vaguely “moderating” and don’t know what to do. Remember, we are a team however, so sometimes you moderators may need to help one another out and fill in for each other from time to time.

The moderator positions I’m looking for:
Team Thread Moderator: Moderate the thread and edit posts under the Team Blaze account when needed.
Skype Room Chat Moderator: Kick people, add people, edit/delete messages, etc when needed.
New Member Welcomer and Spreadsheet Updater: Promptly welcome new members that join the team and add their info to the spreadsheet. Also, edit the spreadsheet for when current users wish to edit their information in there.
PM Sender: Send team-wide pm’s to team members when asked to do so. I will love you forever if you choose this position and will do any sexual favors that you ask of me ;w;
Graphic Artist: I like to play with Photoshop but I hardly have the time or lack the motivation to finish things myself sometimes so I’d be nice to have someone assigned to this position
Engine Moderator: Justin already has this taken care of, I’ll ask him if he needs any assistance, otherwise this position is closed.
Sandwich Maker: That’s right, you make me sandwiches, letting you know in advance, I like whole wheat bread.
Other: If you think you can help in some other way, let us know!
NOTE: Some positions I may assign more than one person to.

How to sign-up:
You must first meet these requirements:
-Be a Team Blaze member before this post was made

Then you must send me (reuben_tate) a PM with the answers to these questions before 12/25/2012 at 12:01 am server time:
1) What moderator position are you applying for?
2) What is your main motivation to becoming a moderator?
3) What qualities do you have that would make you an appropriate candidate for your position?
4) How do you think (a) the community views you? (b) the team views you? (c) the skype chat room views you?
5) When are you available online in general?
6) Describe a personal experience of yours (preferably related to FFR community) that emphasizes at least one of the following: leadership, teamwork, perseverance, appropriate tolerance levels, patience, or humility.
7) If I asked you to make me a sandwich, which bread would you use? (Serious question, if you don’t answer this, I won’t accept your application)

Depending on the position that you choose, I may ask you more follow-up questions afterwards via PM. After the submissions are closed, I’ll review the submissions, ask any follow-up questions, and will have the results posted on New Years Day (I can’t promise right at midnight though :P)

If you want, you may post in this thread saying which position you applied for, just to have people possibly reconsider their choice of position if a million other people already chose it.

[Xx{Midnight}xX]

You've already seen me as a person who can manage the thread

So let me do that

And I wouldn't use any bread on your sandwich. I'd use penguin fur.

[Team Blaze]

NOTE: Current Moderators need to re-apply for their position if they want to continue being one.

[popsicle_3000]

applying for spreadsheet/new member & PM sender

[justin]

Re-applying for Skype chat mod and spreadsheet updater. I don't need to be an official greeter for the team or anything but I'm more than happy to continue keeping things up to date.

In terms of me being around in the skype room, school is ending and aside from work I'll be relatively free, so I will most definitely be around in calls more often. Just in case anyone was worried about my lack of presence lately. Been SUPER swamped. (ask Bridget)

[Charu]

Would like to be Skype chat mod as well since I'm pretty much on there majority of the time when I am home and about.

I think I already am though, but I don't know if I am officially, dohohoho.

[justin]

Oh and side note, the engine stuff is taken care of. I can't really give out access to the engine files either way, so don't worry about getting me help. I have it covered.

[reuben_tate]

Wow, not even 12 hours yet and I already have 5 submissions already, you guys are great! Keep those submissions coming

@pop: Got your submission, thanks!

@Justin: New moderator terms start on Janurary 1st, so don't worry about not being around too often at the moment. Although, I school is going to start back up again, so I'm hoping your classes don't kill you right from the start of the semester >.<

@Charu: Got your submission! And don't worry about the current people in the chat that have additional powers, I'll be reviewing the members of each chat room that the team has and I'll be removing powers from the appropriate people if they haven't applied for a moderator position.

@Justin: Got your submission and thanks for letting me know about the engine, I'll update the newspost.

I apologize, but that was not my intention. If you'll take notice of my phrasing, you'll notice it says "as far as I know" which implies directly that it is merely based off what I perceive. I did not say "Their purpose is" or any phrase to imply that what I said was absolute truth, as I at the time didn't know a correct answer. (Note: this is from Middie himself, and is not the view of the team.)

[reuben_tate]

And just an update on the moderator applications, I've received a total of 8 applications so far, thanks for the submissions guys! For anyone who hasn't submitted yet, it's not too late to submit and we some positions could use more than one person, such as the chat and thread moderators, since no one person can monitor it all day :P

P.S. And to all those that posted that said they sent an application, I just wanted to also confirm that I got them
