Position hiring for: Mentors
Information: This group is made up of those who assist new members into becoming settled in the site, welcoming and greeting them into our family, as well as help established members should they need it. Examples of things that could be needed are as follows:
Explain the rules, for both the newer and older members alike.
Explain the basics of RP and certain styles, should the member not understand, or be wholly new.
Help a member figure out where to post something, whether it be just content-related questions or if they're unsure of where to post given the requirements for each section.
Approve posts in the queue in the "Introduction" forum, thereby approving new members and activating their accounts.
Write an individualized greeting for each introduction posted, just to say hello, and familiarize the members with whom they can reach out to should questions arise.
Help connect new members with writing partners or roleplays that fit what they're looking for, and offer the same help to members who may not have had much luck but are still around and looking.
Peruse the roleplay forums and give helpful nudges to those who may be in violation of a rule or aren't quite posting in the right spot.
Keeping an eye on the chat, to answer guest questions and member questions alike.
You would be the first line of defense, so if you see something within the forum or chat that needs handling, point it out to the next appropriate person and it'll be handled, if not able to be handled by the mentor directly.
Of those this list is only some of what a mentor does. They are a moderator, though they specifically focus on the "Introduction" forum, and, as such, are the first line of defense when a problem arises. If a problem does arise, Mentors would be the first person to contact, unless they aren't around at the time and the problem is of a more urgent nature.
Other notes?: What was outlined in this post for the position is the bulk of what needs to be done, however there will be odds and ends that pop up from time to time.
The biggest need that we have for this position, and any that are applied for...is time. That's become the Achilles' Heel of our staffing as a whole. We know that things in real-life take precedent, but a few minutes here or there really make a difference and allows CF to run as smoothly as possible. We need people who are willing to devote the time to cover their forum, to answer questions, to watch chat. This isn't an all-day commitment, but is needed for more than once a week, or every few days.
Also, you set your availability. If you say you're available for duties between such and such a time, but are around more, you don't have to be actively moderating during times you've slotted for writing. So long as the work gets done when it's needed, you've plenty of leeway.
At this time we're only seeking about two Mentors; we've had a massive influx of new members lately and we're looking to spread the load around a bit more so no one feels overwhelmed. When openings for Moderators and Global Moderators come up, we promote from within.
