Below is a list of the different staff positions that we have at Aludium and both the responsibilities and duties expected of them and the rewards and bonuses that they receive for performing their roles. You can apply for any of the below positions in several different ways and our Head Admin, JD, makes the final decisions on all staff appointments. Just follow the instructions below to apply to be a staff member.

You can click on the images below to send each staff member a message directly, or you can go to the Moderation Team Roster page to read about each of our staff members.

HEAD ADMIN

The Head Admin position of the site includes everything. Everything that happens on the forum is your responsibility, your creation and yours to maintain. This includes: what the site looks like, the information it offers, how it functions and what the members on the forum do and how they behave. There is nothing outside the sphere of responsibility for the Head Admin.

CO-ADMIN

The Co-Admin has many of the same responsibilities as the Head Admin in terms of the functionality of the site. You have full admin powers to manage the content and members of the forum and are expected to ensure the Star Wars authenticity and appropriate behaviour of the forum, as a whole.

SITE MODERATOR

A Site Moderator has the basic admin powers to keep the site running and has the responsibility of helping out the Admins wherever they can. While you have the ability to keep track of other members and ensure that all global rules are being followed, you do not have the ability to make large changes on the site. You do, however, have full access to the Staff Board and are able to partake in the ideas and discussion that moves the forum forward.

[attr="class","enc_head"]II. Requirements to be Staff

[attr="class","enc_sub"]Anyone that wishes to be a staff member must meet the following requirements.

BE ACTIVE
Due to the fact that we cannot have inactive moderators, you need to be able to be active on the site. This means checking in at least once every other day or so. As with all members, it is obviously understandable for you to disappear for personal life reasons like exams, jobs or events, but you need to keep the other staff members informed of these absences, so that we can continue managing things in your stead until your return.

BE SKILLED
In order to encourage a good standard of roleplaying, you need to be active on the roleplaying boards, as well as the OOC boards, and producing the expected quality of writing. High levels of grammar and spelling accuracy, a zeal of creative writing and a few paragraphs per post on average. This is the standard that we ask all of our members to aim for in our Global Site Information page, but we expect our staff to adhere to this style of roleplaying more stringently, in order to lead by example.

The absolutely necessary level of roleplay required is a good, standardised use of the English language. We're all human and we all occasionally make mistakes but, in general, we expect accurate spelling and grammar and several paragraphs per post as an approximate minimum. We do not penalise against American English or British English spellings - both are acceptable.

[attr="class","enc_link"]Go To: Global Site Information

BE HERE TO STAY
All applicants for a staff position must have 100 posts to their name. This can be across multiple character accounts, including any deceased characters, but needs to be over 100 posts in total. This is so that we have some assurance that you are a committed member of the site and aren't simply going to pop up, become staff and then disappear.

BE A TEAM PLAYER
Be someone that we like. This sounds like favouritism and we don't mean it in this way, but it is important to remember that we, as a moderation team, have to work together. We have discussions and debates on the Staff Board and all of our staffing positions look to each other for feedback and suggestions. We have a hierarchy in place to organise responsibilities and final decision makers, but we far more like to work together as a team. As such, you need to be someone that is a good listener, works well with others and is someone that we, as a team, believe would be an attribute to our group. It is great to be passionate about the site and have a lot of ideas, but if you express them in the wrong way, we won't be able to work with you.

BE DEDICATED
A dedication and love for Aludium is integral to being a staff member. We look for people who go out of their way to make the site great - not people who simply seek the rewards that come with the positions. While we offer credit bonuses and extra fun stuff in thanks to our staff members, we don't want these to be the driving force behind a moderator's motivations. Greed and personal achievement only ensures a dedicated staff member for a limited period of time. Someone who actually loves Aludium and wants to make the forum great works far better in a staff position.

[attr="class","enc_head"]III. How to Apply

[attr="class","enc_sub"]If you want to be a staff member, here's how you do it...

STAFF RECRUITMENT
When we have an opening in the Aludium staff team, you'll find a notice will go up on this page and out through the global communicator to all members. We like to make sure that everyone is aware when we have a new staff position so that everyone who is interested has the chance of approaching a staff member to apply. If you have come to this page through one of these advertisements, then use the code below the apply for the appropriate role.

VOLUNTARY APPLICATIONS
We're also open to voluntary applications, even when we aren't actively seeking new staff. If you have read all of the above requirements, and believe that you meet them, and would like to apply for one of the above stated staffing positions then you need to complete the below code and send it to our admin team at Noè Avery-Tsu'tarl. Just copy the code below and click the button to be sent through to the appropriate messaging page. We will respond to your application as soon as we can. It may be that, at that time, we do not feel that we need any more staff members. Alternatively, we may believe that you can add something to the team. Either way, we will have your name in our heads when it comes around to recruitment time... Please remember that no staffing position is confirmed until we have responded to your application.

[attr="class","enc_head"]IV. Planet Moderation

[attr="class","enc_sub"]Taking control of a planet.

Another staff position that we have available is the Planet Moderator role. This role operates slightly differently to the above and can be applied for at any time. We would like to get to the stage where every planet in our galaxy has a moderator to claim it as their own. This ensures widely diverse plots and locations for our members to visit and utilise. Please read the below description carefully, if you are considering becoming a planet moderator.

Please also note that a member can be both a planet moderator (and be responsible for the duties listed below, with regards to their particular planet) and one of the above global staff members, if they wish to. In doing this, they receive both credit amounts for their monthly reward, but only the highest value in the other rewards. For example, if a member was both a Site Moderator and a Planet Moderator, they would receive an extra 120 credits per month, and receive 50% at the Emporium (not 60%).

PLANET MODERATOR

As a planet moderator you are a member of the staffing team who handles the history of a specific planet. It is your responsibility to launch new plots, settings or ideas based on the current history of your particular planet. You are responsible for the behaviour and writing of members within your own board only, but also have full access to the Staff Board in order to become a part of the global site staff discussions.

[attr="class","enc_head"]V. Creating a Planet

[attr="class","enc_sub"]You can not only control, but create too.

You can not only become a planet moderator of a planet that is currently in existence, but create and moderate your own planet. Below is a list of planets that have limited information about them in the Star Wars universe. They are real planets, named at any one point in Canon and Expanded Universe Star Wars sources, but they have limited information and nearly no illustration of what they look like or who lives there. As such, they are open to creative license. If your application to "create" a planet is accepted, you are automatically that planet's moderator and a member of the staff team.

As the global plot of the site continues, more areas of the expanded universe galaxy will become available to roleplay. Within them will be more planets with limited canon information that will then be open to be moderated too. So, as time goes on, the below list will grow...
