| I would say I've been at MAL for a long time, and I’ve never EVER Violated any terms or had any issues with any of the staff. So I was really hoping deeply that someone would tell me who I would go to about becoming apart of the MAL Staff. I’m online 24/7 so that’s no issue. Can someone please tell me what I need to do? I would LOVE to be a part of the Staff. I’m a Hard Worker, Educated, Willing to work for free(of course) and a Fast Learner. So whaddaya say? |

| When we are looking for additional Mods, we look for different qualities for a candidate. Mostly, It's all in how you assist with the DB. People that submit anime/manga to the DB, or submit images, adding characters, or DB edits help get you noticed. |
| Rule of thumb: If you ask, you've disqualified yourself. You seem pretty enthusiastic about it though. That might get you far if you start following this Aarana said: When we are looking for additional Mods, we look for different qualities for a candidate. Mostly, It's all in how you assist with the DB. People that submit anime/manga to the DB, or submit images, adding characters, or DB edits help get you noticed. As we handle database edits, we gradually come to remember certain names that show up over and over. As of now I don't think there's much urgency for more database mods. As for being a forum mod, well, there's no denying we need more. But you haven't posted much so...there's hardly any basis to evaluate you on. |
| Most often people who ask are not people that contribute greatly to the database. Just asking to be a moderator isn't enough. You need to demonstrate that you wish to improve the quality of the databases and in doing so, you make yourself known to moderators without needing to ask. Furthermore, wanting to be a moderator because you're impatient at the speed with which your edits go through does not show a temperament befitting of a moderator. You need to have patience when communicating with users and fellow staff. Also, as a moderator, you don't just do your own thing off in a corner (ie: doing what would be the edits that aren't getting approved fast enough for you now). You need to be a team player, and need to be able to prioritise your tasks into what is important (adding new DB entries, filling out information) and what is not so important (adding and editing character pictures). Instead of asking to be a moderator, you should be asking where things are lacking and how you can better contribute to the databases. |
| Simply put; you don't choose to be a mod, we choose you. Also, use the forum search. Even more reason to do so if you want to be a mod as this question has been asked and answered before. Thread locked |
