Namaste,

As our forum is growing at a fairly steady pace, it is becoming more and more difficult for me to manage everything by myself. Therefore, I am happy to announce that the following Moderator Positions are open for applications.

***

World News Forum Moderator

Specific Responsibilities:

-Searching the internet for world news articles which have potential to interest a general audience.
-Posting these articles according to the News Forum Format*.
-Posting between one and five good articles a week. They needn’t be daily, but that would be ideal.

Arya Samaj Community News Forum Moderator

Specific Responsibilities:

-Keeping us up to date on community events, i.e. posting articles and/or links to events around the world relevant for Aryas.
-Listing any relevant contact information.
-Posting pictures would be a nice touch.

Bharat News Forum Moderator (Currently Mitra)

Specific Responsibilities:

-Searching the internet for news articles from or related to India.
-Posting these articles according to the News Forum Format*.
-Posting at least one good article a week. More would be appreciated, but not necessary.

Non-Vedic Religious Forum Moderator

Specific Responsibilities:

-Searching the internet for news articles related to Non-Vedic religions (i.e. Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Jainism, etc.).
-Posting these articles according to the News Forum Format*.
-Posting at least one good article a week. More would be appreciated, but not necessary.

General Discussion Forum Moderator (Currently Devo)

Specific Responsibilities:

-Trying to answer any Arya Samaj-related questions in a positive, informative way.
-Keeping discussions lively and productive.

Off-Topic Forum Moderator (Currently Devo)

Specific Responsibilities:

-Making sure topics in the Forum really are ‘off-topic’, i.e. moving any good, Arya Samaj-related discussions to the General Discussion Forum.

Arya Ladies Forum Moderator (Currently Sunita)

Specific Responsibilities:

-Searching the internet for articles relevant and interesting to our female members. Though not necessary, it is requested that such articles be posted according to the News Forum Format*.
-Posting these articles according to the News Forum Format.
-Posting at least one good article a week. More would be appreciated, but not necessary.

Fun Forum Moderator

Specific Responsibilities:

-Starting and maintaining funny, entertaining activities and/or text-based games.
-Writing clear directions to each of the activities or games.
-Making sure that members follow the rules to the games.

In addition to these specific responsibilities, Moderators also have a few general responsibilities:

General Moderator Responsibilities:

-Making sure that the Forum Policies and Rules are observed at all times.
-Making sure that any discussions which take place in the associated threads stay more or less on the original topic.
-Removing any spam or off-topic posts from the forum. Threads can also be split, whereby the new thread should be placed in the General Discussion Forum under an appropriate title.

***

If you would like to apply for one or more of these positions, please post a message below indicating this. Alternately, if you are currently a moderator, feel overwhelmed with the new job description and would like to relenquish your post, a short message indicating this would also be appropriate.

If you decide to take up one of these positions, you will be added to the new Moderator Group and will receive a rank-title specific to your task which will be visible in your profile.

*New Moderators can find a guide to the News Forum Format in the Moderator Forum.

Namaste Shishya ,

I would like to put in some work for the Bharat News forum. I do browse all major newspapers daily so it will be put to some good use.

The link which you put at the end to modeartors forum isnt working fine i guess. Says the forum doesnt exist.

Thanks,
Mitra.

Namaste Mitra,

I am very much pleased that you would like to take up a position as Moderator of the Bharat News Forum. Very Happy

I shall add you to the Moderator Group within the day. (The reason you can't access the Moderator Forum is because you haven't been given access yet. As soon as you are added to the Group, you shall be able to view the above mentioned posts detailing the format to be used.)

Thanks again and welcome to the team. I look forward to your posts. Wink
