Hey folk, sorry for being less active these days, am currently abroad attending a wedding so am sorta busy, yet i can still write this topic to make you all excited, don't blame me, blame whoever tolled you to blame me..

So, with school time, college, bluh bluh bluh we all know about this and hella bored already cuz we all have less time to play the game that we all like..

4 of our staff members, moderators and assistants felt obligated to leave DA cause of school, not leaving for ever, just the staff team, so we are having short on working class right here..

As you might already had figured, yes, we are looking AND hiring a new staff members .. yes STAFF members, to help us keeping this place running like a hours, relativity, active.

So am not sure who is interested or not, but i'll say it straight, am looking for 3 moderators that can be online at least like 6 hours a day on DA, that's cool if you asked me, and also am looking for 2 assistants to help with events, don't worry we will explain everything to you so you don't feel like you're in the Amazon Jungle, lost and lonely..

If you applied for a Moderator Position, you must be able to do the following:
You must be able to be online for a very long period, good connection (doesn't matter allot really, this is ain't DN). A Moderator will transfer Duel Points aka DP (Yes, that's staff powers am talking about here ._.) And the power to lock, open, delete, merge topics or posts, of course, you are obligated to read the staff guide before, it's not big actually, you will know it once you see it. Being a Moderator isn't just about that, it's more, it's a huge responsibility to take care of a place such as Duel Academy, yeah, it was hard when i was a Moderator, so i know what am talking about here .. If you feel like you can't handle it, perhaps you should try another time.

If you applied for an Assistant Position, you must be able to do the following:
An assistant job is specified, it's not random, it's about one thing, like you are responsible of 1 event only, 1 section, simple as that, you have powers only inside that section; however, your level as a staff member is equal to all other staff members, you're not lower than moderators, or higher than teachers, don't think that way. The purpose of this group is to make things more organized, means we need organized people, that can handle events, such as Exodia Forbidden Lottery, Dice Encounter, or any other event we might host in the future .. You feel like you can do it, then come and get it!

Now how to apply, of course, there will be a few boring question, i made them as boring as possible here >_> you just have to answer them, but before you do that, you should see if you fit the requirements ..

Requirements:
1. You must have at least 250 post.
2. You must have a daily activity statue in DA. (Daily Active)

Also, there is one more thing, to make sure we are picking the most suitable person for this duties, we have to make sure that you're serious in what you do.. So, you ready to hear this?

» You must gain a total number of a 1000 post in 7 days, that's 142 post a day, you can get those pretty easy if you have time for this.

How do you get those post in such a small time?
» You can post in all topics that your eyes can catch in the "off-topics" section, technically that topics are never dead, so it will not be considered as necro-posting. Also you can post in the Dice games, lottery games, or anything that help you to gain some extra posts, like help people to fix their decks, comments on all topics you can see, welcome new members, spam a but ._. just do what you have to do.

At the end of the 7 days, i'll calc the number of posts that you have gained, using the forum statistics system, that will show exactly, who are the top posters during these 7 days.

Questions to answer:
1. How many hours can you be online on a daily count?
-
2. What are you applying for?
- (Moderator/ Assistant)
3. What can you offer for DA? (optional, yet important)
-
4. You have any old/previous experience in being a staff member?
-

This is serious stuff, if you like it, join and apply, if you don't, perhaps the next time will be better; however, it will always be the same rules, so don't raise your hopes if you willing to do this latter, IF we ever started such a topic ever again ... >_>

The Statistics page appears to be malfunctioning right now, so here's a screenshot I took yesterday proving that I broke 1000. It appears that the Statistics page thinks that the week ended, instead of counting the last 7 days.
Spoiler :

Here's how it looked today.
Spoiler :



1. How many hours can you be online on a daily count?
-Several hours a day, easily 6+ on weekends. Exact times vary, but I can be online for as long as it takes to get the job done.

2. What are you applying for?
- Moderator (If this is the only way that I'm gonna get a promotion, then so be it)

3. What can you offer for DA? (optional, yet important)
- I offer my dedication to seeing things through. I will make sure that whatever is started is finished, on time and correctly. I will make sure that everybody follows the rules. I also see a lot of things that need to be done that I would like to take charge of and DO. I'm clearly dedicated to my work, having satisfied the 1000 post requirement in less than 2 days. I can also offer help where it is needed to the regular users and staff alike. I also work very fast, as the 1000 posts in 2 days says.

4. You have any old/previous experience in being a staff member?
-I currently oversee the RP section. I am also staff on two other academies, and I have experience running websites. I am a soon-to-be Head Admin on one of those two academies.

I would also like to say that I am familiar with handling large groups of people at a time. When you have a fanbase (Pokemon B/W ladders. Apparently people love me Spots are available for new staff members! 932147. I was bored, so I started laddering. Anyway, random I know.), you have to to Q/A sessions with people. So I know how to deal with annoying stuff and I won't snap at people.

I like writing stuff about stuff Razz

Spam skill is not a valuable asset for staff. VALUABLE posts, on the other hand, are a good thing. Look at my ATAD, I set that up to encourage activity in actrual posts rather than pointless spam. Spam does not help DA's image, it just makes it look more active than it is. I'm trying to solve the inactivity problem rather than covering it up.


1. How many hours can you be online on a daily count?
- From 5:00 till about 12:00/2:00 GMT, making it about 7-9 hours.
2. What are you applying for?
- Moderator
3. What can you offer for DA? (optional, yet important)
- My ATAD, I'll still do roleplay section, Deulist Invasion, and my entire social life. I've alread helped a load of noobs even though it wasn't my job; if it is I'll be able to do so more effectively without people calling backseat modding.
4. You have any old/previous experience in being a staff member?
- Yeah, I moderate the roleplay. Also set up DI, which died due to inactivity in
teams.



@Anzo: Number of posts measures the ability to check all topics, the ability to be active, being a staff member is about how good you are when it comes to covering allot of topics, yes the final count of posts isn't a big deal, but being a staff members like a moderator or an assistant with time and that ability makes a perfect staff, everyone can be staff if they have time, there is no skill, mods and assistants they don't think, they just do what they are otlled.

1. How many hours can you be online on a daily count?
- I spend a minimum amount of 3 hours on DA daily, during school days I have a time of about 3-6 hours online, where usually few to no new posts are made. So, yes, I think I am quite able to spend 6 hours daily on DA, if not more.
2. What are you applying for?
- Moderator, I presume
3. What can you offer for DA? (optional, yet important
- General activity; professionalism; ruling knowledge; no bias; apt grammar and spelling
4. You have any old/previous experience in being a staff member?
- I have been administrating http://blackroserequiem.forumphpbb.com for a long time now (even though it is dead right now). I have recently been added as administrator on UDA and ExDA. I have been an admin on DN for about a year and just recently quit being one for reasons I do not want to elaborate further. I am also a teacher on DA for now a month and an assistant on DC for the same time.

1. How many hours can you be online on a daily count?
- 6-10 Hours. (I don't keep track, this is just a rough estimate I thought of) I usually always keep DA open on a seperate tab so I am on most of the day, ask anyone xD.
2. What are you applying for?
- Assistant (But if you wanna give me mod I won't say no xD)
3. What can you offer for DA? (optional, yet important)
- I'm good at working at small stuff, so I think assistant is right for me. I'm good at writing essays and also pretty decent at organization.
4. You have any old/previous experience in being a staff member?
Does being official dinosaur king count? If not, then no.

I underestimated the power of spam that you guys have in you, i mentioned all topics that is older than 20/25 day are forbidden area, It's called necro-posting.

Additional information: After the set of 7 days is over, i'll generally look at all those posts, and see if at least 70% of them are valuable or not. By that i mean Necro-Posts, Deck racing will not be counted.

P.S: In Deck Race events, many has gained few hundreds of posts there, so i'll only count 50% of them not all of your posts there.

For any questions, objections, PM me don't post here.

I'll keep this thing running until Friday 2 of October.
