ArmoredLabs has been growing bigger and bigger for the past year, and it has came to the attention of many that the frequency of chaos have also been growing. We want to emphasis the importance of self-moderation, but sometimes things just get out of hand where mods have to step in to stop the chaos. ArmoredLabs is now recruiting TWO active moderators to keep our forum and Discord server orderly, preferably from the Americas time zones. The workload will be minimal, you will be responsible for curses, memes, floofs and headpats. The recruitment process will be as follows: June 11 - June 24 (inclusive) Nomination phase: each user can nominate other users (including themselves) to become candidates. There are no limits, but including reasons for the nominations would be nice. Note that nominees can either accept or refuse the nomination. Lack of response will be interpreted as implied refusal. June 25 - July 8 (inclusive) Voting phase: nominees who voiced their acceptance will be placed on a poll for users to vote on. Again, it would be nice to include reasons for your votes, but you can also stay silent and vote anonymously if you prefer. Don't vote for yourself obviously, self votes will be voided. July 9 - TBD Finalizing phase: ArmoredLabs staff will vet the winning candidates and contact them so they can get their mod tags. I know I have the final say, but I will respect the wishes of the community for as much as I can. That is, assuming your wishes aren't to turn ArmoredLabs into a circus. FAQ: Do moderators have to be active on both the ArmoredLabs Discord and forums? Ideally both, but preference leans heavily on the Discord side right now due to the rapid-fire nature of instant messaging. Moderators will have authority on both the forum and Discord, because splitting them up right now is just unnecessarily complicated. Can official game staff (ie. mods on the Official Discord) still be moderators on ArmoredLabs? Unfortunately not. As outlined in our policy towards the official staff, they will not hold any special permissions or authority on ArmoredLabs as long as they are staff on the official channels. This isn't due to any ill will towards them, it's simply a matter of potential conflicts of interest that I'd like to avoid as much as possible. Are there any clan/battalion restrictions for moderators? None whatsoever. You can be in any battalion or clan you want and still become a moderator on ArmoredLabs. This thread will serve as the nomination thread for the nomination phase, please nominate your moderator candidates here. Nominees can accept or refuse their nominations here. Discussions are welcomed of course.

i vote for itsjustrick as for me one of the most trustable quality users

Even the most ideal self-moderating community will require the occasional policing from time to time, if nothing else but to keep the community running smoothly and enjoyable for everyone involved. Both the ArmoredLabs forum and the Discord server have been exemplary in having no more than two instances where I had to step in to give stern talks, and I literally have not had to punish anyone for anything so far. That being said, the forum and Discord server have grown quite quickly over the past several months, with over 200 users on each end and dozens of them actively participating. There are virtually no gaps of inactivity as we have users spanning across every time zone (and some with screwy sleep schedules). I trust every user to behave themselves, but I am also limited in availability as I go to sleep in case something do happen and require my immediate attention. ArmoredLabs is now recruiting TWO active moderators to keep our forum and Discord server orderly. The workload will be minimal as everyone are still behaving themselves exceptionally well, so this is more or a preemptive move to bring in extra pairs of eyes before we grow too big and our self-moderation start falling apart. The recruitment process will be as follows: June 28 - July 11 Nomination phase: each user can nominate other users (including themselves) to become candidates. There are no limits, but including reasons for the nominations would be nice. Note that nominees can either accept or refuse the nomination. Lack of response will be interpreted as implied refusal. July 12 - July 25 Voting phase: nominees who voiced their acceptance will be placed on a poll for users to vote on. Again, it would be nice to include reasons for your votes, but you can also stay silent and vote anonymously if you prefer. Don't vote for yourself obviously, self votes will be voided. July 26 - hopefully before August Finalizing phase: I'll vet the winning candidates and contact them so they can get their mod tags. I know I have the final say, but I will respect the wishes of the community for as much as I can. That is, assuming your wishes aren't to turn ArmoredLabs into a circus.
