So as both site and forum expand, the manager is not going to be able to work as one person, and neither will the assistant managers. Both assistant managers will be extremely busy in the coming year, and not likely to be able to come on daily. Likewise, the manager may be forced to step aside for various short periods of time through the coming years.
As time passes, management will be watching the members to discern who really puts their effort forth to participate in the archive, be it on the message boards or posting submissions. As we keep that going, we’ll contact the people who really seem to get involved the most and see if they’re interested in a more primary role within site management.
This does not mean you will automatically become an assistant manager or so forth. Rather, it means that we will leave parts of site management for you to run. Becoming added to the administrative crew doesn’t affect your individual membership - you’re still welcome to post and so forth, whether you’re eliminated from admin status or drawn in. At the moment, almost all posts are being held by the manager alone, unless otherwise specified.
Members are welcome to apply for a particular post, but that application will not be approved immediately. Management will keep an eye on those members for up to two months after application to discern if the member is willing enough, active enough, enthusiastic enough, and organized enough to manage the portion of the site that they’re asking for.
If you have read through the previous page, outlining the positions open, and are honestly interested in taking a role and handling it responsibly, please fill out the attached form and email it to the manager.
We ask for your URL so we can see how you manage your own site. If you don’t have a site of your own, just leave that space blank - it does not affect whether we accept you or not; it just gives us an idea of how you work.
Location is asked for in general terms - you don’t have to give us your address or tell us whether you’re in Warwickshire or Brussels.
For example, the manager and one of the assistant managers are in the U.S. in the general area of the West Coast inward, and another assistant manager is in Australia. You can tell us you’re in the United Kingdom and that’s just fine. We just need an idea of time zones so that we can coordinate when to be on if we need to meet for some reason. (You can simply provide the time zone, if that helps.)
Also provide a short “résumé”. If you have held other positions on other sites, let us know what you did. If you didn’t like it, let us know why (kept within confidentiality limits, please, if applicable). If there are any quirks to your time or schedule, let us know, so we can figure out how/when to schedule around various people. For example, if you’re out for half the year and away from the computer, tell us, and we can work around it.
Give us a short paragraph as to why you’re interested in the position being applied for and why you think you’re a good candidate for it.
If there’s anything else you think we need to know, just say so, and then . (Site Manager only, please, not the assistant manager(s).) As soon as she receives it, you’ll receive an email about specifications for the position in question and a few other odds and ends. (This isn’t automated email, so please be patient with time constraints.)
Yes, this is somewhat like an actual job application, but let’s just excuse it by saying all three major members of management are extremely picky and paranoid with bad experiences online.
Lastly, to ensure that you have indeed read these rules through, fill in the last King after the line reading Arvedui.
Thanks very much for your interest in the administration staff at :~WTA~:, and best of luck to those of you who apply!
