ZZ Staff Recruitment & Mod Training [Open]

[Tyger]

• Why do you want to be a Moderator at ZapdosZulu? I've done it for years.
  
• Are you an active member of this site and do you have some understanding of the rules and procedures of the site to be able to moderate threads? Indeed I do!
  
• Have you had any past experience as a staff member on another roleplaying site or have you taken up a role of responsibility in the past? Quite a bit, but ya'll know it. Green and Purple experience. Money/transaction experience, as well as modding.
  
• Do you have any additional skills that could be useful in developing the site? Not really, I can just mod when i'm off of work. Every little bit counts.
  

Sup guys. I can help out a little over the holidays. A couple of posts here and there, but every little bit helps, yeah? Temp stuff in between semesters, as long as it's cool that it's temp and i'll disappear for a bit after. <3 

[Lamont]

We're more than happy to have you on board even for just a little bit Tyger :3

If it's alright with you, I'll bump you right back up to a Purple mod since right now since I could use someone to handle my transactions as the other two are hiatus/busy ^^

[Tyger]

No worries there. Went ahead and got you caught up in Transactions. Thanks for adding me to the plugin!

• Why do you want to be a Moderator at ZapdosZulu? Feel you guys need a little more pairs of hands to give a little more help.
  
• Are you an active member of this site and do you have some understanding of the rules and procedures of the site to be able to moderate threads? I know how the site works and I might not have bene the most active sometimes I have more times now and I am happy to spend it a bit on here to help.
  
• Have you had any past experience as a staff member on another roleplaying site or have you taken up a role of responsibility in the past? Was a trainee here a few ties before but activity kinda messed me up but I am willing to try one more time even just as a temporarily thing.
  
• Do you have any additional skills that could be useful in developing the site? Aother then modding I do know code like HTML and CSS and I do have some art skills as well. They may come in handy.
  

Overall I am offering my hands for help that I think you guys could need a bit. Even if I do a few bits here and there I feel that could be a great help and well every little helps right? 

[Lamont]

Thank you for offering your help once again Blaze ^^

However, given the previous runs of both Trainee & GC Dealer we have decided that we'd like to see a bit more activity from you first before you dive back into the modding scene. Especially given you're ill right now. Hopefully that clears up real soon so you can enjoy ZZ!

Once you've been back for a while longer and shown consistent activity over a longer period of time you can apply again when staff apps are open. Hope you get well soon! Thanks again.

• Why do you want to be a Moderator at ZapdosZulu?
  
• Are you an active member of this site and do you have some understanding of the rules and procedures of the site to be able to moderate threads? I am moderately active on the site and have a good understanding of the rules. Might need a refresher on certain aspects of how turns can be spent in the battle system, though.
  
• Have you had any past experience as a staff member on another roleplaying site or have you taken up a role of responsibility in the past? sadly no.
  
• Do you have any additional skills that could be useful in developing the site?
  

I feel that I could add a bit of flair when it comes to telling the story of my posts from the Pokemon's perspective

[Lamont]

Thank you for applying Ray!

We'd love to have you on the team making your way through the trainee program :3 I'll get you setup here in a moment. Good luck!

• Why do you want to be a Moderator at ZapdosZulu? I have been a member of the site for years and having served many times on the staff in the past I love helping out behind the scenes.
  
• Are you an active member of this site and do you have some understanding of the rules and procedures of the site to be able to moderate threads? I have had periods of inactivity from time to time but overall I have been very active throughout most of the years.
  
• Have you had any past experience as a staff member on another roleplaying site or have you taken up a role of responsibility in the past? I have been on the staff here many times before even serving as an admin for over a year before family issues forced me to drop as much as I hated having to step down.
  
• Do you have any additional skills that could be useful in developing the site? I know a bit of coding but I am fantastic at advertising hence my 3rd place ranking in the hall of fame.
  

As a note I am not sure if these are still open but as a few staff members are busy I wanted to throw my hat in the ring. If I do get approved I would be fine with any rank as I really do miss being on the staff and there is a ton of things I would love to work on again.

• Why do you want to be a Moderator at ZapdosZulu? Because let's be honest - this site is freaking awesome, and I want to try my best to help it grow and help it continue on. The school year is over now so I have more time on my hands, and would love the chance to help the site out. I also noticed there were not as many names on the staff list so was wanting to be of assistance if need be. I feel like being a Moderator would also help boost my own skills of writing.
  
• Are you an active member of this site and do you have some understanding of the rules and procedures of the site to be able to moderate threads? I now have the time to actually be active again now that school is out, and I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the rules and ways of the site. 
  
• Have you had any past experience as a staff member on another roleplaying site or have you taken up a role of responsibility in the past? Yes, I have. I have been a moderator on a few different Pokemon Mystery Dungeon sites in the past. 
  
• Do you have any additional skills that could be useful in developing the site? I do have some decent coding and designing skills that could maybe be useful? I also like to think my mind is decent at problem solving. I also do have a bit of experience with editing sprites and such. I also could help write things for the staff if necessary. 
  
  

Just offering help, if you guys would like some extra helping hands!

[Marchbaby]

Bumping this as we are still looking to add a few more members to the staff. If you are interested please reply to this thread with the form on the first page. 

[Lamont]

Just a bump to remind everyone we're still looking for staff applications. Recently there's only been 2 of us to do everything around the forum so we could really use any help.

[Lamont]

Hullo all ^^

Just bumping this in everyone's mind again. I start a jam packed semester tomorrow and lately I've been the only mod active so any help at all would be greatly appreciated. No matter how small the contribution or inexperienced you think you are you could be a phenomenal help to ZZ :3 S'why we have a Trainee Program

Cheers everyone! Thank you so much for your patience on the backlogged threads.

• Why do you want to be a Moderator at ZapdosZulu? Well, for a couple of reasons. First off, it pains me to see Lamont doing all the work herself. Ive been having a lot of fun on this site since I joined, and I don't want my time here to end because of a lack of mods. Im still aiming to get all eight badges here. Secondly, progress on my threads has been slow lately, and if I help lighten the load, the other mods can get to my threads more quickly. Sorry if that sounds selfish.

  Are you an active member of this site and do you have some understanding of the rules and procedures of the site to be able to moderate threads? As Im sure most of you have noticed, Im pretty quickly when it comes to replies. I check this site for updates to my threads very frequently, even if Im not logged in. Then, if I see that my thread has been updated, I quickly log in, and respond. I have a lot of free time these days. And yeah, I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of the rules here by now, but Im still sorry in advance if I make any mistakes. Ill be sure to correct them right away if I do.
  
• 
  
  Have you had any past experience as a staff member on another roleplaying site or have you taken up a role of responsibility in the past? No, not really. This would be my first time being a mod for anything, but I do have a lot of experience with role playing. Me and my girlfriend have been role playing almost every day for the past four years. Its kind of our thing. Anyway, I am a little nervous, I don't how good Ill be, and since we're being honest, the fact that me and Lamont would be the only two mods on the whole sight seems kind of overwhelming to me, but Im willing to help out if I can. And hopefully, some others will join me on this soon.

  Do you have any additional skills that could be useful in developing the site? Im not really sure what your looking for here, but as I said, I have a lot of role playing experience, and I like to think that Im a pretty creative and imaginative guy. So maybe I could help come up with new ideas for quests, events, wild Pokémon areas, etc. I do also have a YouTube account, and I used to run a Pokémon high school series on there for a while, and I took two years of computer classes in school, so Im not that bad when it comes to technology, at least I think so. Anyway, the bottom line is that I love Pokémon. Its been a big part of my life for a very long time, since back in gen 1 actually. I still have my original Red game and Gameboy. So, Id like to help and support this site if I can. I don't know how much Ill be able to do, but Ill definitely do my best.

• Why do you want to be a Moderator at ZapdosZulu?
  I feel like I might have enough time to squeeze in a few threads per week when I finish work. There aren't many active staff and sometimes I find myself lurking here when I could actually probably help out a bit instead.
• Are you an active member of this site and do you have some understanding of the rules and procedures of the site to be able to moderate threads?
  Yep.
• Have you had any past experience as a staff member on another roleplaying site or have you taken up a role of responsibility in the past?
  I like to think so haha.
• Do you have any additional skills that could be useful in developing the site?
  I'm also decent at custom sprites, coding and tabling. And I like to think I can give useful feedback.
