Hi all,
With the upcoming refresh of the site, I decided it's time for some new wind in the 'offices' too. As you know we have a small team of moderators who try to keep debates flowing smoothly, fight spam and generally keep everything humming along.
Some of these are venerable stalwarts of moderating, others have joined the team more recently, but it is always good to get some 'fresh blood' as well. Would you like to join this mysterious team? Please let me know!
What do we expect? Apart from some tact, a stable disposition and preferably a 'clean slate' here on RAT, a moderator should probably suffer from a rather rampant addiction to this forum. In other words: you need to be willing to visit here daily and read what's being posted. I do not expect you to become a moderator indefinitely. The standard 'tour of duty' will be one year, normally renewable twice more for another year each. After that, and depending on the availability of new volunteers (yes! this does mean I'll be asking this question every six months or so) and your own willingness, you might do another stint, might go on to lead a project, or become a 'normal' member again and get to relax.
Apart from that, I'm also looking to reinvigorate the Ritterling project, the Imagebase, (Roman) helmet database and start a Greek one. I'm going to need leaders for those projects as well. Let's hear it!
