The current two-month term for moderators is coming to an end, and we're looking for new volunteers to help us out for the next two months.
Once again, our goal for the upcoming moderator term is to have
50% new moderators who have never served before.
- Your political ideology is not important... We need centrists and leftists and everyone in between to serve as moderators.
- We prefer people who have been members for a few months, and have made at least a couple hundred posts.
- You must be able to log on to DU regularly, and we'd prefer that you don't take any long vacations between now and mid-November.
Here's how to volunteer:
Send an email to admin@democraticunderground.com with the word "moderator" in the subject line. Include the following information:
- Your real name
- Your forum username
- Your address
- Your telephone number
- How much time you spend on Democratic Underground
- Which forums you'd like to moderate (if you have a preference)
- A brief statement which generally outlines your political views
- Have you read, and do you agree to follow, the
Message Board Rules and the
Moderator Guidelines?
If you have applied to be a moderator before, but were not chosen, I strongly encourage you to apply again.
We may also need moderators who *have* served before, so everyone interested should apply.
We hope to select a new group of moderators on Wednesday afternoon, September 17.
If you have any questions, please feel free to post them in this thread.
