Hey everyone, happy 2025! To kick this year off, here are some updates around the current state of affairs with the staff team!
Firstly, we would like to officially inform you all that Eddy finished up as a moderator at the end of last year. As such, we would like to thank Eddy for his contributions to the PureZC community over his nine years, both as a moderator and a database assistant.
Secondly, we are looking for at least two members to join our moderating team in 2025 - a great opportunity to be part of the team and contribute towards PureZC's community! But what does a moderator role entail, you ask? You'll be responsible for overseeing member interactions across the forums and Discord server. This includes reviewing reports, handling member disputes, corresponding with members, and issuing actions for rule violations. You'll also be responsible for the database as well, which includes processing and approving submissions, as well as moderating any interactions in the reviews, ratings and comment sections of the database. The ideal applicant should be able to demonstrate the following as well:
- Technical skills: being able to use the forum and Discord platforms, and having an understanding of PureZC's policies and guidelines,
- Communication skills: being able to effectively moderate through clear and concise messages and being responsive to members' queries or complaints.
- Personal skills: patience, dedication, empathy, objectivity, fairness, as well as initiative. These are qualities of a moderator who is able to handle high-pressure situations, handle conflict with diplomacy, foster a positive dynamic in the community, and also be able to offer ideas on how best to improve and develop the PureZC community at large.
If you are interested, you can send a private message to me on the forums or Discord - whatever is easiest for you! You can say whatever you want in your application, and please don't be afraid to share any strengths or positive qualities you may have! Here is an optional list of questions that you can answer to help out with your application:
With all that said, applications for staff positions will be open until Thursday, January 30th at 11:59 pm EDT. The administration team of Russ, David, Matthew and myself will review all incoming applications, and will make our decisions after a few days. Best of luck to everyone who is keen, and we can't wait to see your applications!
