〃SJ-World is recruiting for a new mod group: The Lumieres〃

→ Who are the lumieres?
The Lumieres is the name of the new group we've been mentioning since we opened "Compared to you I'm a genius" - our team of language Moderators! Each language thread will have one or two Moderators, fluent in that language, who will be expected to maintain and take care of their individual topic.

Inspiration for the name came from the Disney movie "The Beauty and the Beast", specifically the character Lumière. Additionally it refers to the "Century of the Lumières" (or "the Age of Enlightenment" in English), which was a period of history recognised for the spread of accessible knowledge, characterised by authors such as Montesquieu, Voltaire, Diderot, Rousseau and Beaumarchais.

So, to tie in with those meanings, in SJ-World the Lumiere team is intended to be both enlightening and helpful, as well as knowledgeable within the specific area of language!
They'll each be responsible for their language thread and will have full mod powers, allowing them to delete and edit posts, and warn users. They'll also be expected to generally monitor the thread for rulebreaking or inappropriate posts, and report back when necessary.

→ If you have already sent an application in the past

Firstly, we'd like to apologize for leaving this so late and not getting back to everyone who applied for this staff position! We had hoped to have everything finalised and the new Moderators chosen weeks ago, but we were just too busy with forum projects to find time until now

To be fair, we're not going to make anyone fill out the application all over again (unless you want to!). So, if you applied before to moderate a language thread, and you're still interested and want your original application to be used, please send a PM to either Alice or bubblekitten before Sunday, November 22nd.


→ If you want to send an application

To send a staff application you just need to go here or go to "My Controls", then on the left menu click "Apply to be in the SJ-World Staff". Select "Apply for Lumiere" and fill up the whole form, then submit!

Anyone who can speak a language besides English is welcome and encouraged to join this team! Our priority is to find people who think they'd be able to moderate the most active threads - Malay, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indonesian, German, etc. ^^


Thank you for your interest!
The SJ-World Staff

We're also looking for native english speaker:
↘ In this team there will also be a few members helping people with their english around the forum. If some posts' english are very poor or if someone has an issue in english, they can be asked for help.

So whoever gets this position takes the English thread? Or just in the forum overall? OR one language thread, the English thread and the whole forum? Haha sorry for being so confusing =P

[SpaceBigStar]

I would love to join but therer aren't any Urdu speakers here that have a thread for that. I am fluent in English but there has to be an Urdu thread and there isn't one. Oh well.... :/

[S2pearl]

Awesome! I love the name of the new group 8D
I love Beauty and the Beast <3

This is also a little confusing to me. I am taking it as a native English speaker (or a couple) will take the English thread? That was my thought when sending in my application. If I am wrong, though, perhaps the application can be used in the future for something else. ^^;

I like the name of the new group, too, by the way! Very creative and pleasent-sounding.

[flipamcrazy]

THere...Sent in an application for the 4th time...LOL NAHH jk^^
I hope i get accepted..I will work hard
FIGHTING!!!

[Aimiff]

I'll try to apply soon.
I've sent my application for the Tagalog thread!
I totally went blank on the questions though!
What's wrong with my head?? TT.TT
Still, I hope you consider me. Kuku~
The name for the group sounds real nice~
Very imaginative..

Lumieres. Lovely name for the new mod group. I also like the definitions associated with it. The work they do will be be very helpful in maintaining a friendly atmosphere in all users in respective threads in Compare to you I'm a Genius section. Though I'd like to be of help, I have studies to take care of so I'll be encouraging everyone to apply and be one of the Lumieres. :) I look forward seeing Lumiere mods soon. :D

[JunJun]

I'm not sure if I'll make it >_<
I totally forgot some of the shows they're hosting >_<
(I know them! T~T I just couldn't think of them at that time >-<)
And I also forgot about a radio show...T~T

XD;;
And I wrote that I think no one else from the German thread would send an application...and now everyone I asked sent one or will send one XD

EDIT:
Do you have to have a 100% right to be accepted? >_<

No, you don't need a 100% to get accepted. Applications are not just based on the questions/answers, but atleast some basic knowledge of SJ is needed.

[TH3_BBiiz]

ahh that so cool ^^

Thank you for clearing this up, unnie. Honestly, I got worried because I might have missed something haha ^^;;;

[MocaCocaCola]

i would love to apply!

but i have a question:
when you apply, does it have to be for a more active thread?
or can it just be a thread you're fluent in?

because Cambodian isn't exactly a popular thread but it's a language i'm fluent in. i'd just like to help out xD
