Writers in Residence discussion

Hello. I will most likely need an assistant moderator. So... if you feel like you would like to, let me know here.

I would love to help out if I can!! What exactly would being assistant moderator entail?? I'm guessing I'd probably need to be active on Goodreads daily, which shouldn't be a problem since I'm obsessed hahaha, but is there anything else??

I don't think you should have to be on goodreads daily, but that would be nice if you could. Just be on here frequently. Also, if I end up having to go somewhere for a long period of time, I will message you about it. If some members aren't following the rules and I am not there to remind them, you would have to remind them of that. Also, because there are some things on goodreads that I can't do, I might need your help finding that out sometime.

I would be glad to have you as my assistant moderator!

Okay!!

What do moderators even do?

They are the ones who manage the group.

Well, I know that, but what exactly do they do?

Um... Practically everything I mentioned on the earlier post about assistant mods

Okay. I’ll be an assistant moderator, then.

Sounds good. I think that's all I'll need for now then! Thanks!

I came up with a new method of doing mod applications:
Each mod is in charge of one folder, we do not need anyone to be in charge of the Members or the Books folder, and I will take charge of the Short Story Challenge folder. This means I can add polls, challenges, events, discussions, anything I think that folder needs, I can also delete topics, or change the rules in topics (but not the folder name, it can't be about pickles if it was about writeathons. I don't think that would happen, but you get the point.

So we still need moderators for the following folders:
Your Work and Member Threads (we can have one person moderating both folders)
Creative Writing
Writing Together
Writeathons
Creation Excersizes
I would also like someone to moderate our blog, maybe Maynerd?

To apply, answer the following questions:

What is your name? (Gr name is okay)

Can you be active at least every week?

Which folder(s) would you like to moderate?

Hi Sushie!

This all sounds great;) In response to your questions:
1) My name is Penny
2) Yes, every week is doable! It may be only be once a week sometimes though;)
3) I'd like to be in charge of the Creative Writing folder and maybe the Writing Together?

Of course! Thanks for volunteering. This will really help the group run smoother.

Just to let y'all know, the Your Work, Member Threads, Creative Writing, and Writing Together folders are all taken.
That leaves Writeathons, Creation Excersizes, and maybe someone for the, blog, but I can also moderate that since it is related to the short story competition folder.

Hi Sushie! I'd love to be a mod for any of the remaining groups!

My name is Katherine, and I would be active every week ( though probably more!) :)

Thanks and happy writing everyone!

Wonderful!
Thanks so much everyone, I'll be closing this topic for comments now.

I would like to add, really quick: You might have noticed that you each have been given little names, you can change those, if you want, in the members page if you find your user. It will have a button under your name that says "change title".

Okayama! I will be gone all next week so I want just two more moderators. These can be my vacation mods whenever I go away. My already hired mods can help out, too, but in case they can't, I'm hiring two more to take care of the stuff they can't. Your applications must be submitted at 3:00 on Tuesday (mountain time) to be accepted. Please answer the following questions:

How long have you been a goodreads member?

Do you understand how to create, delete, and edit topics, folders, and polls?

Can you be active next week (Tuesday through Saturday)?

Do you understand the group rules?

THANK YOU AND PLEASE APPLY!

I will also be gone for the next week, week and half 😬. Sorry!

XD
It's okay, Abi! Everyone deserves a vacation. I suppose we could just not be active next week? But I don't know if that'll make us lose members...

I would apply, but I'm usually not very active. Personally, I'd be fine with the group being inactive next week. Whatever you think is best, Sushie!
