I just noticed that things aren't going well lately when it comes to people following the trade-rules.

i especially experienced that in the europe nonladder trading-section, as i am active there...

during the last days there have always been people reposting the threads that mods had closed and it was not uncommon that on the main page

there were 4-5 Ut requests, 1-2 CL rush needs and early bumpers/reposters that flooded the whole trade section...

i kept reporting them but sometimes it took ages till a thread got closed( sometimes nothing happened)

The thing is that all the trade-mods also got other jobs and important things to do which sometimes keeps them too busy to take care of matters like this!!

now here's my suggestion:

Why should not jsp make it possible for people to actually apply on "temporary jobs" like an "assistant trade-mod" (with a real life pic, biodata, resume... <--you get my point...)

these "jobs" would ofc be unpaid and completly voluntary!!

In my opinion there should be around 2-3 "helping part-time mods" with limited rights for each subforum (limited rights = not able to give warn but able to close threads)

why 2-3?(or more?) to make sure that there is always one there if one or more of the others are offline

for example:

2-3 assistant mods responsible for Us West nonladder+ Ladder

2-3 assistant mods responsible for Europe nonladder+ Ladder

and so on...

The application itself by the way could cost the people who are interested some fg's but thats just another idea ^^

Clearly you have thought this through.. ( Good job ! )

But there is a certain problem.. This would be how there is a certain amount of information you want to give

And giving all this to paul would not be a good way.

PM a Trade mod / TA if u want topics closed.

Won't change.

Sorry

- Regards.

well it depends on how much they (senior mods/admins/etc) actually want to know from you and it would be like a normal job application...

this should just make sure that the people who apply to this are:

1. Adults
2. mature enough for their new job
3. Capable of performing this

and this could be shown by easy things like a short bio or a letter of motivation...


there could also be a special day for applications like "only sundays" to avoid that those people, who are responsible for the applications ( maybe senior mods/admins etc) get their pm boxes flooded with apps ^^
