So, as said, I was a mod on a different writing forum - and my business is in the indie author industry. A lot of my clients are on THIS forum, and they were on my old forum, too. Having to mod them makes business relationships feel awkward, particularly with the younger writers who think closing a thread or moving it is a direct attack. Luckily, most people aren’t stupidly OTT - but some are.
Something something art. I wish I could remember, I’ll probably go back to the thread and find it out. I couldn’t figure out how to apply with my tiny brain.
It is a bit conflicting, my older clients tend to be fine, but I have had ex-clients scream at me, demanding to know why I’m so “dumb” or hateful for removing a thread that was not appropriate, before they realise I’m their designer. Fun times!
Ahhh nooo, it isn’t this - it was on the mod thread itself! But I was interested in this once my work slows down a bit Thank you for trying to help me and my smol brain! <3
Does that mean that I at any time I feel it becomes too much, I can resign from the post? Or do I have to wait for - I don’t know - somebody else who can take my place?
I don’t doubt it!
That’s great!
Okay, good to know which titles to use, Your Benevolence!
At the moment I’m battling what seems like an enormous workload, so for the next 1-2 months I don’t think I’ll apply. Will you still need new mods in early June or something?
Yep, most of the team does that. Honestly we’re asking for 3-4 hours a week you can dedicate to it. You could do an hour 3 days a week and meet that lol.
Yep!
No, not at all.
I would imagine so, if we continue to grow at our current rate.
Yes, of course. As was stated earlier by @CJtheSiteWizard, real life always comes first. Many of us disappear for work, school, personal events, and other everyday activities without any warning because (real life), but if it’s for more than a few hours (like an 8 hour shift or whatever) we try to give each other warning that we may not be around much.
