We've made our decision. Our first new staff member is zarrion101 (http://talkbudgies.com/member.php?u=465)! We've contacted him and he's accepted the position. Congratulations Zarrion on becoming our Super Moderator! :D

Just so you all know, there are still a few more available positions. Budgiekin and I are discussing this currently. We may or may not hire another super moderator, but there are at least two regular moderator positions open (they will moderate individual forum, Budgie Talk for example). More on this in the coming days.

Again, congratulations to Zarrion on becoming our Super Moderator!

Maybe, not sure yet.

Maybe, not sure yet.

I thought it was up to Administrators only but I'm sure Dave or Budgiekin will let me know if they require my opinion.

Do you have to say you wanna try or do you have to NOT be a newbie or somthing? I am very active on here just a lurker is all!
Dave
09-21-2006, 07:55 PM
You just have to do what you feel is best to try to get the position. There are no set rules.

What is a luker? :S I don't know if this will be any help to you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moderator_(communications)

PS: It's a few things explaining the jobs, powers, and responsibility of being a moderator. :)

Oh I see what you mean. Well moderating is mainly about looking but I would say posting is something that is needed aswell. :)

Congrats, even though it's a little late, I guess I can still fit it in.

And yes, I guess posts mean a lot to your position, the ironic thing is how incredibly slow my internet connection is.

I think a good mod would be tiki<3 polly, but of course that's just my opinion.

Congrats. Also i wouldn't post on TT much. I assume your the zarrion that was there about the screaming tiel. If and when they find out your 14 that can be a bit bias towards you. When they found out i was 14 ( now 15) they seem to be telling me and my twin off for wanting a tiel and saying that a tiel is a adult birds. Am i right to assume you got your tiel.. Best of just with he little dude.

Yes I am the Zarrion who got the tiel, which site do you mean though?

Bird Crazy or Tiel Talk? I asked on both because I was so worried. :)

Thank you! :)
