As some of you may know, I'm preparing a major switch/upgrade of the forum software, and at the same time I will be adding a few addtional sections. One of them will be a "Political Sub-Forum".
Political topics can often get quite heated and also quite extensive in size, and since I (and Senior Regulator Corno) will not always have time to read every post and follow the dicussions closely, a dedicated volunteer regulator (a.k.a. "moderator") will be a requisite for the political forum to succeed. Without moderation it could easily turn in to abuse and flame-fests...
The Political forum will open, hopefully, within a month from now, so there is some time to prepare, but I will be accepting applications starting now.
Moderating the Political Forum will require a certain level of dedication and person-skills. You have to be able to "defuse" sticky sitations, or if that fails (or is not an option) lock down/end the dicussion with a swift but just hand. Also, you will have to be able to visit the forums very frequently. The Regulator of the Political Forums will be handed a great deal of authority, so you must know how to handle that with fairness and levelheadedness. You are of course allowed to voice your own political opinions, and join the discussions, but must in all your postings statue a good example for others to follow in your style of debating.
Magle International Music Forums is in itself a 100% apolitical forum, so there must be room for all political views - as long as they follow the basic rules, and does not break any laws.
New members can apply as well as current/regular members - but no one can become regulator until they have been active for a week or more, and have made at least 25 posts. Current regulators can also apply if they would like to (and have the time/dedication to) take the responsibility of moderating a politcal forum as well.
Apply by sending me a Private Message or email.
Looking forward to getting applcations for this - I hope - exciting job
