Join the FF Team - Apply to be a moderator!

As you're all aware, the forum finally got brought kicking and screaming into the latest decade (literally, that last codebase was from 2013 or something ridiculous).

Along with a new design and all the new features, we are also now looking for a new team to help promote, moderate and make the forum great again!

Part of what made the forum awesome before, was having a strong moderating team with passion to keep their sections alive, welcoming new members and generally being the "voice" of their model.

So that's where you lovely people come in - what we are looking for is new team members who are:

• Passionate about FIAT and the forum
• Able to commit a decent amount of time each week to their section
• Help promote the forum externally (social media, attending events etc)
• Full of ideas and willing to share those backstage to keep the forum fresh
• Willing to join in staff discussions and help steer the direction of the forum going forward

Having a strong staff community really makes a difference when managing a site like this, so bear in mind we don't want someone who will just deal with a few posts here and there - you need to be a team player!

Sound like you? Wanna be a part of the bestest (real word, I promise!) FIAT forum in the world? Then great.....

Fill in an application here!

Or if you have any questions, just post them up below

(Oh there is a 50 post / 30 day requirement to sign up, but if you really want to do it and you have the passion, we can work something out!)

Aww, this has come up at just the wrong time for me, I'm in IT and pretty enthusiastic about weird little Italian things that make a big noise, but looks like I'm going to be very busy with work stuff for the rest of the year

Might be a stupid idea and I guess you'll get a decent number of applications anyway, but any thoughts about putting in secret nomination polls in the various sections (as in anonymous polls, with the suggested names hidden from public view), in case some of the more popular / respected / enthusiastic members don't have the confidence to fill in the form, or miss this? If someone comes out as a clear winner and they've filled in the form you've got a no-brainer as far as giving them moderator rights, and if they haven't, maybe a quick message once the poll closes might push them in the right direction...

Only genuine FF members nominated by other FF members though, otherwise Fiaty McFiatFace might end up having a very busy time

That's a shame as it was you I was going to put forward

I was actually talking about Bontempi toy trumpets as opposed to Abarths when I said I liked weird little Italian things which make a big noise though

Thought we'd get a few more applications....

Only one so far?

I was considering putting myself forward but there's a lot of random family/health issues at the moment so I didn't want to make a commitment I couldn't keep.

 

[mj2k]

Same here. Give me a shout if you're still looking in the autumn, hopefully work stuff will be sorted out by then and I'll have a bit more free time...

 

[ben]

Just gonna bump this back up to the top incase anyone missed it the first time around ...
