Moderators are an important position on any forum. They are needed to keep track of sections, boost activity, make sure all members are following the rules and also lead with an example of exemplary behavior. There are many sections to GC and each one needs to be watched and cared for if it is to thrive.  Below is a list of our sections and which ones are open.

RULES FOR APPLYING:
*  Must have been a member for at LEAST one week - so we can get to know you.
*  Must have 25 or more posts, new threads will be considered worth several posts
*  If and when a moderator application is accepted, that new moderator will begin a month long "probation/trial" period to ensure they are a good fit for the forums and the community, along with a training activity.
If the Moderator does not live up to their duties and our expectations, we reserve the right to let go of said Moderator at any time. We also reserve the right to lengthen or shorten this time on a case by case bases if necessary.

Please be aware that while filling out these applications, you should do so as professionally as possible. Consider it like applying for a job in real life. While this may be an internet forum, we do take these applications seriously and the manner in which you fill these out greatly affects our decision on the application.

The Writers & RP Guild has a wonderful Resume and Staff Application that could provide tips and advice for apply!

It is NOT required but EXTREMELY recommended that you speak to Luna who has graciously offered to review and revise your application. Please PM her your application first and she can give you feedback.

Finally! I've been waiting for this for weeks!!!

T-minus one week until apps close! If you haven't started working on yours, now's the time!

Four days until the applications are closed! 

And, I would like to note that I will be reviewing and critiquing applications for the moderator, role-playing moderator, and activities director positions until 18 October 2016. This will give me adequate time to review your application prior to the closing date.

If you've sent in an application, I've sent a reply letting you know if I've received it. Some of you may have gotten two, that was intended just to make sure that all my emails show I've replied. If you didn't get an email, then Please let me know via pm.

This is the last day I will review applications. The application period closes tomorrow.
