In the interests of having a transparent system for accepting new staff, we've decided to make it somewhat public.
The current Staff application procedure is as follows:
Obviously, if we get inundated with applications, we will only accept the ones with the best answers, up to the limit. The 'Best' answers will be decided by a discussion between the current staff. Best does not necessarily mean that its an answer that current staff agree with, and more that it shows qualities that we feel are needed in moderators. That means that yes, you can disagree with us, and you may in fact not like some members of staff, but that will not prevent you from becoming a mod in itself.
Aside from the application form, we will obviously be looking at past posting history here on QQ, and possibly elsewhere.
In the case of Admins, they will be exclusively taken from the current Mod pool.
I hope this helps.
I would like to clarify: Staff positions are not fun and games. Only apply if you have time and dedication to spare.
Current Status Of Staff Applications: CLOSED
Applications will provisionally close on the 5th of April, which should be when you'll receive your reply from an Admin, barring a need for an extension.
The current Staff application procedure is as follows:
- First, Admins and current Moderators decide that more staff are needed. This can be for any number of reasons (more workload, a moderator is leaving, need another back end programmer).
- Then we will enable the moderator application form found
Here for people to fill out.

- Once we've filtered out applications through the form, there will then be a brief interview on IRC or another chat program.
