Basically the point of this position is that you're in charge of the newbies of this site.

Your duties include:
-Welcoming every single member that introduces themself with a warm welcome and offering help with the board if they need it
-Helping new members out with anything that they may need help with
-If you see a member online a lot but hasn't posted, maybe send them a friendly PM encouraging them to post (you can create a PM message and re-use it for everyone you pm if you want)

So basically you're in charge of the new members and sorta in charge of getting them to post, and in charge of welcoming them.

Anyone interested, please post in this thread why you think you're qualified.

I think I can do that. I'm certainly on the board enough and always greet the newbies who made an introductory thread

Ziggy is pretty... over qualified lol but he will be a good pick Not really many more that we can pick but Ziggy is on a bunch I think he might fit well as a newbie mod

i nominate myself, or ziggy so long as "logging out because their here for roms" isnt mentioned again.
(not so subtle hint )
though there are a few others that could do a good job there too, as JS mentioned.
lets see who else responds shall we

i have no trouble backing ziggy or certain other individuals in the right circumstances, they just need to speak up.

Sure, I'll "try out" for the job.
I'm on at least a couple times a day, and I like meeting new people, and giving them a tour of the board.

Heh. I can "try out" as well, even though I am not a trusted member, I am familiar with almost all aspects of the board, I have not posted anything recently due to being over-busy with other activities, but that shall change now that Swimming is done. I am also familiar with the administration panels and moderator powers due to being one or the other in three other web boards.

I can do that. I am good at encouraging people to do stuff. I am good at entroducing people to vizzed.I'm on vizzed multiple times every day. I'll make sure to do meh job.

I can do that. I mean I've made my fair share of mistakes. Which means it would be easier for me to inform them of the rules here. Though I may not be a trusted member I would still do the best I can. Now that football season is over I'll have much more time. Plus i'm familiar with a lot of the board.

Ziggy, Neyro and DarkHyren all seem to be well-established members that could definitely manage it. I'd think we'd want someone of at least trusted status for the job, and also someone who's been a member for a fair amount of time.

At least longer than I have been, heh.

Yeah, I won't phrase it like that anymore, DH

Rocksome, you have a point. I WAS trusted but i keep getting demoted... but i can do the job good.
But if you're talking about someone who is currently trusted, then I'm out of this game

DH has at least some staff power already and is a mod for other forums. I'd say it's moreso between Neyro and I

Yeah, if you're wanting to add a new mod entirely, then definitely ziggy or Neyro. DH has been doing a good job of it without the title so far though, heh.

If you're going to add a NEW mod: Ziggy/Neyro


I think I'd be qualified to take the position of a moderator of newcomers, as well as this General Chat. I have been here for nearly 4 years, and I'd love to see this place get more and more popular.

While my activity was low lately, it was because I had to study for exams. I now have a ton of free time and I'll be available about 75 hours a week, even more depending on the week's activities.

I'll monitor every single new and promising member that I possibly can, and I'll help bring back activity to users that have been idle for a few days or weeks.

I can also bring in a large group of new members by reaching out both on the internet and statewide. I'll be available at almost any given moment and I'll be able to welcome every member that comes in if I get this position.

Hopefully I'll be considered, because I intend to be even more active on the board. Thanks for your time, Dave.

well, who doesn't want to see more activity, especially since we broke the record for most users online at once earlier today . sadly though, it happened when I was in school (between 7-8 am EST), but I managed to catch 10 users when i was on after getting home

bringing in new members is always nice, but some people aren't a great fit for this board. I'd like to ask some of my friends to check the board out, but most of them aren't a good fit. not everyone was meant to be a part

checking on idle users is important, but only ones that really started to become a part of the community (as in, posted in more than the newbie forum and gyr forum). unfortunately, there are a lot of idle users because many people joined only for the games and or roms.

really, it is important to make newbies feel welcome more than anything else

(feels like an election here with speeches and everything, lol)

To be honest, Ziggy/Neyro/IBock3 are all better choices than I. And plus, they have been here longer and deserve it more than I do.

Yeah, if I had been here longer I would have nominated myself, but I really feel like someone who's been around longer is more deserving.

Yeah your right. I'd rather one of them do it too. They've been much longer than I have.

I am with you both on that, I just figured it wouldn't hurt to throw in a name of a non-trusted member or two, because I know there are some who aren't trusted members who should be, but aren't merely because they haven't gotten "thumbs" yet.

Wow lots responded to this Going to be hard to pick hmmm...
