Being a Tutorial Keeper would also require nearly-perfect grammar.

well, I could do that. Legacyweapon said i needed to improve and i think i did drasticlly. It is also a position and no one is perfect. It's not like i'm asking for mod. I can honestly say cheeze isn't perfect either. So i would just like a chance.

Actually, uh, the last rule here does, though.
I don't really see how hiring is a popularity contest. Either I hire you or I don't. It doesn't matter if you're popular.

I wonder if newly-hired staff are given any training of any sort before they are thrown into their roles? I imagine there's a little bit more to being a good moderator than is necessary to be an active and sensible member that is eligible for staff selection.
On the comment about staff selection being a popularity contest, I think it's probably anything but a popularity contest. The way you get picked is not by being popular, but because Moose likes your style and thinks you'll do a good job moderating (or whatever you're assigned to do).
And rather than asking to be a moderator or tutorial keeper or anything else, it'd be probably more useful to make helpful posts and submit good tutorials...

No, there is no formal "training". Like you said, we pick Staff members based on their attutude and how good of a job we'll think they do. If you are th kind of person that would require much training to become a moderator, you don't have much chance of getting appointed. We do give tips and advice to new Staff, however.

Mini Moose, will the Global Mod's each get a topic to controll, or they will stay "Global" ?

Global mods are assigned to some specific forums, but still have power over all the forums.
As for training, they get a PM from me explaining some general procedures and stuff. They're always able to ask questions in the Staff Forum.

Syphon is a good choice for the Game sub-forum. Good pick.
By the way, moderators don't see the Staff Forum, only Global Moderators.
