View Full Version : A note on Guide Applications

First and most importantly, if you've put in a Guide application, thank you!
Second and almost as importantly, if you haven't gotten a response on your Guide application, don't take offense! We usually only respond to applications we are going to pull up for an interview. That's not to say you won't ever get one - my app was sitting in the forum for nearly a year without a response before I finally got called up.
I'd also like to add that if you're filling out a Guide application, be as thorough as possible! We aren't looking for one sentence responses here. We want to get to know you as a person, and you've only got one forum post to sell yourself as a good addition to the CSR team. While we aren't english nazi's, we are looking for coherent sentence, punctuation, complete thoughts, and legible formatting. Don't expect a response if you can't use capital letters, periods, etc.!
Lastly, we are looking to add 2-3 more guides, possibly more, right now. If you have a guide application in, please be sure it's up-to-date! Especially your available time - we need a real number here, an actual amount of time you'll be able to dedicate purely to CSR work and nothing else.
Good luck, and we look forward to reading your applications!

Is Forum Mod a role that is up for grabs... We could use someone to nuke the pornposters way quicker than they get nuked here.
Or we could just block images/gifs from being posted.

Blocking gifs / images from being posted by accounts with less than 100 posts or something would go a long way.

100, 500, 1000, whatever you want. Or get a few forum mods.
I nominate myself for forum mod of Bugs forum!

give a probation period to new accounts so that they cannot post pics until a certain point in time, or until they reach a certain number of posts etc.

First they came for tags, and I did not speak out because I did not post here.
Then they came for youtube videos, and I did not speak out because I did not post them.
Then they came for 20 posts per page, large signatures, images, and gifs. I did not speak out because there was nothing left to post here.

I miss the guestbooks (great for gif storage/linking), I miss being able to have a 200px height gif for my signature, I miss youtube embedding, and most of all...
MOST OF ALL... I miss forum tagging! A wondersome feature :)

There is no set time limit. As I stated above, I had a Guide application in for a year before I got brought into the program. Or it could be an hour. It all depends on what we have available, who we need, and what slots need to be filled.
I'd say put in an application and then go about your business. If one day you notice one of us has responded to your thread, or you receive a PM telling you to check your thread, you'll know you got called up.
