Since Daubster, our specialist map vault and MOTM moderator, hasn't been very active recently, we are currently taking applications for new moderators. If you are interested, post in this thread with a short paragraph on why you think you would make a good moderator. It would be good if you could show us an example of a map review you've done, too.
Here's a basic list of requirements for the two positions we are offering. If you are dedicated enough, you can apply for both jobs, but because we know that people never have much free time, don't try to commit to too much. Please only apply if you're going to be active on TWHL for the forseeable future.
Map Vault Moderator
- Must own Steam copies of all or most Valve games (required: HL1 & Orange Box)
- Reviews maps in the vault and gives constructive criticism
- Deletes spam maps/comments when necessary
- Fixes old/dead links to maps (if possible) when needed
- Must own Steam copies of all or most Valve games
- Reviews the maps for each month and chooses a MOTM winner
- Writes up a full review of the MOTM for each month (Example)
- (Hopefully) manages a team of reviews to produce 2 or 3 total reviews each month
- Does NOT need to catch up on all the missed MOTMs (we missed 18 months :<)
To make it a bit better for MOTM people, I will be putting MOTM in a prominent place on the front page for all to see. When we were doing MOTMs, they were presented excellently (both youtube and written reviews) - and I think they were an excellent addition to the site. For this reason, I will put the MOTM in a large box on the front page between the news and the forums.
We are looking for two people to add into the moderator team, but we could pick more (or less) depending on how many applications we get.
