Applying for the post of DFI moderator?
Not interested to apply for Moderator post in DFI.
Buddy , it will give you the chance to help the best Indian defence forum and an experience to be part of highly professional stuff team.
Still not interested?
Well, let me break the news. Once the advertisements start coming in, there will be payment for moderators.
Hmmmm…now I have got you
Worried about how to write a good application or losing confidence after seeing the star members in queue.
I am here to help you out.
Read the questions they have asked . Very carefully. They need to-the-point answer. Nothing excess, nothing short.Now it is time to Reply. Don’t forget you have to leave behind the star members. So prepare your strategy. I am with you.
1)Your username in DFI and 2)HOW and WHEN you registered on DFI?
Do not bluff much in first two points as anyone can easily check that by moving his head little leftwards. (Don’t know why they have added these points) But you can do a small trick. Here , below your user name only month of joining is given. So no harm in saying you had joined 1st July,2009 even if you actually joined in the last week of July. I bet , they are not going to search for your introduction thread. Always mention name of a respected and senior member as if he had invited you seeing your activities in other forum. Human memory is not very strong and even if the respected member managed to convince himself after pondering a lot that he had never invited you, selection will be over by then. Let someone scratch his head for few days. No problem.
3)ANY previous experience of moderating a forum
Always name IDF. Nobody can check it now. You can also mention your user name was different there to be safe. Members in selection committee are all well mannered. They will not persist to know that user name if you don’t declare at first time.
4) Hour time zone and when are you most active on DFI?
They are looking for someone who can do the job at night when Indian moderators sleep (Yes, Ahmedsid too). So immediately change your location to USA or Canada. If you are less known here (of course you are, otherwise why should you come to me for help) nobody will notice that change.
5)How many hours per day/per week you can spend on the job?
Commit as per the requirement. 10 hours at night and that is regularly. It is better if you sleep for next 6 days keeping your PC on. Once you go through you can show your colour. My job is limited in helping you just get through.
6)Why do you want to apply for the job and your own added data as you think fit
First thing they will see if you can fall hard on Chinese trolls or not. Tell them how motivated you are to take them on and crash them with your finger tip (of course by pressing Ban Button with finger tip). If possible write a small paragraph on Chinese intrusion and cyber warfare.( BTW do you know that best of their hackers try to hack network of our defence organizations. Most *****s of them try to spam DFI)
If you are a follower of Mahatma Gandhi, explain how you will bring the posters out of them by communicating with the trolls. You will be appreciated.
No need to mention about your ability to copy-paste from internet. Don’t say you are not worth of any other job (that may hurt present moderators)
7) If you are applying for section mod do not forget to apply for which forum section you want to moderate and why?
Certainly they are not looking for moderating Jokes thread (I would have been the first applicant in that case). Take the pain to find out which sections are most attacked by trolls. Mention them. Avoid those technical sections where your own posts are considered as trolls.
Last but not the least, your seniority in terms of posts and quality of posts (can be indicated by the number of thanks you received) will be important factors. So try to increase them, at least the number of posts. You still have six days in hand. BTW, I can arrange for increasing the number of thanks but that is paid scheme. Feel free to negotiate through private message.
So what are you waiting for. Start typing. The time you have given for this page will help you to emerge as winner. All the best.
Regards,
