I'm pleased to let everyone know that we are again looking to welcome new moderators on to the QA staff team.

If you're interested, please apply! Some things to note...
  • The role description and mod charter are linked below - read them and mention them in your application.
  • You need two members to "propose" your application. You must ask people you already know to do this. Asking randomly (e.g. by PMs, forums, chat, Facebook, etc) is not allowed.
  • All staff will review your application and make a group decision, however only myself and Grum will be able to see the information about your real name and identity.
  • We may or may not hold online "interviews" to help narrow down our list of applicants.
  • If you've applied before but haven't been successful, please feel free to try again, but think about how your application could be improved - you're welcome to ask our advice on this.
Please post any questions you have! Otherwise, download the documents and follow the instructions to put in your application.

The deadline is Sunday 12 August 2012.

We look forward to reviewing applications and adding new members to our team Emoticon: Smile :)

No Lisy, there's no minimum age, no minimum time you need to have been a member and no minimum height for your application to be considered Emoticon: Smile :)

This is going to be the stupidest question ever, but when it says name of applicant, does that mean first and last, or just first? ;_;

Full names are required -- there's no anonymity in the staff file, I'm afraid, but only Administrators have access to it.

Ahh! Can you change mine or do I have to do the whole thing again? As in, can you add my surname?

At the bottom of the application it says "Send to QA" So I clicked that and it said it sent but then it errored and I'm not sure if it actually went through or not and I don't want to send it again just in case it did.

Send it again using the more traditional email attachment approach.

Some of the essay reply fields are quite big. Is it okay if I don't use up the whole field and just explain my answer, short and sweet? Emoticon: Smile :)

@J.J., You only need to fill in as much as you think is sufficient Emoticon: Smile :) No need for publishable essays ;)

To those having issues with sending it to QA directly from the PDF, make sure you're downloading the app to your computer and not filling it out in your browser. This means actually right-clicking it and selecting "Download"/"Save File As". After you fill it out, save a copy, trying sending directly to QA, and if that fails then attach it to an email and shoot it off to management@queerattitude.com .

Good luck to everyone! Being a member of Staff is extremely rewarding, and I recommend you apply if interested Emoticon: Grin :D

Also think about asking your QA friends if they'd like to apply as well, if you think they'd be good candidates. Hey, you could even be one of the two necessary members to "propose" their application! Good luck!

Would you be able to tell me if mine went through okay? It was playing up on my laptop when I tried to send it D:
