Wanted: Wikipediocracy Administrator and Global Moderator

Unread post by Zoloft » Tue Feb 28, 2017 7:38 am

Wikipediocracy needs a new Administrator to back me up on WordPress and phpBB maintenance.

We are also in need of two or more forum Global Moderators, to police spammers and keep the peace.

If you're interested, PM me.

Qualifications for Administrator:
  • Some knowledge of WordPress and its themes, plug-ins and widgets.
  • Experience running a phpBB forum, BBCode, security, and groups.
  • Some experience with FTP, .htaccess, and robots.txt would be nice, but not mandatory
Qualifications for Moderator:
  • A good even Temperament
  • Ability to pull the trigger
Here's your opportunity to have your name in green or red.
Note: You will have to disclose your real-life identity to our existing Trustees, and be approved by them..

My avatar is sometimes indicative of my mood:
  • Actual mug ◄
  • Uncle Cornpone
  • Zoloft bouncy pill-thing

I would apply, but since my approach to forum management has always been a bit Abbot Amalric, you are safe.

I would apply as well but if I were selected you can pretty much guarantee any arb or admin would immediately stop posting. Besides that I fail the first 2 criteria anyway having precisely zero experience with WordPress and its themes, plug-ins and widgets; experience running a phpBB forum, BBCode, security, and groups.

So not really qualified anyway.

I also lack the self-awareness of the first self-nominee.
