Report, edit, etc...Posted by Yoshi da Sniper on 2005-09-08 at 12:39:21
This is an application to become a Melee Section Leader. Essentially, you will be Yoshi_da_Sniper's ears and eyes for those sections, as he can no longer maintain and manage these sections without bias.
This opportunity gives you these responsibilities:
- You will be a moderator of all of the forums in that section. Any posts or comments found to be bad or offensive will be dealt with by you. As section leader, you will keep out posts of opinion about maps/mods that are negative unless they are backed up with a reason.
- Yoshi_da_Sniper from time to time may want to seek advice on the section, for site benefits and so on. They are usually easy questions, such as "who has the most potential for moderating there" or "which maps/mods are really highly anticipated".
- You are expected to know what is going on in your section, mainly in the Showcase, Production, and Concept areas of the forum.
- Maybe 2-4 times a year, you should organize a contest that does not conflict with another contest that is going on.
- Answer people's questions when they PM you or ask on the forums to the best of your knowledge.
- Think up realistic ideas or take other peoples suggestions, and suggest them to Yoshi if you think it is worth the time and effort to put in a feature or whichever. The idea of this is to get more people involved and interested in your editing section. An example would be a new forum or subforum (make a poll and have people vote if they want to try an idea too).
- You should notify Yoshi when there are extremely high quality maps/mods coming out in your section, so he may make the proper news posts and advertisements for it.
Abilities and benefits you get:
- A 10mb @staredit.net email address, or a forwarder (so yourname@staredit.net will go to yourname@gmail.com giving you 1 gig of mail space if you want).
- News posting privileges and access to the almighty "Staff forum" on this website.
- Participating in the fasting growing largest Starcraft Editing site on the internet currently.
- Able to have more power and say in appearance and features on the website.
- (Implanted later) Downloads database and tutorials database control so you can approve/delete/edit submittions in your section.
- High respect for the work and organization you do.
- Moderating privileges.
- If you are leaving temporarly, you are required to tell Yoshi if it takes more than a week so he knows that you're still active.
- Good english skills.
Requirements:
- Knowledgable is a must. You must know what people are talking about. You don't have to be the smartest person on the site, you just have to know 90% of all things to do with your section.
- You should have a passion for managing that type of section.
- You should have enough free time to be able to do all these things. A couple of hours a week is all it'll take. Don't let it interfere with school or your personal life.
- You need an account here, however I'll skip posting requirements if you have done a fair amount of editing in that section. Prove your knowledge in that case with links to maps or mods, or things you have done. Proof that you know what you are doing.
- Committed. You have to be ready to help people and do whats in their best interest.
- Calm. Not everyone you meet will be a shining example of humanity. Keep your cool.
- You need an AIM or MSN to keep in contact with Yoshi.
To Apply:
Simply reply to this topic with your account and provide the following information:
- Links to Topics, Maps or anything that proves your knowledge in your section of work. Don't be shy in this area - this is the area I am mainly looking at.
- Why you would want to become staff here.
- Some of the things you would do to improve the section you are applying for.
You have until September 14th 2005 to post this information. Good luck!

I don't have any links to good melee maps because I haven't been mapping recently. But... I have my share in understanding of melee, how it works, unit stats and counters and such. I can probably explain why certain maps won't work while others do even though they may look similar.

I love Starcraft and I would very much like to help the fastest growing community that's related to it! Do I need any other reasons?

Everything you listed already. Anything else I can think of that is helpful. I've been here for quite a while so I would know what is good and what is bad; by removing and enforcing certain bad parts of the forum as well as maps, it will create a much better and more professional place.

Been meleeing for a long time. I know just about every type of strategy people have ever made. Obviously, in order to understand that, I can also tell them how that would apply into melee maps.

Been here for a long time. I think I'm pretty committed. I've been posting in serious discussin, if anything has helped, that place has been the ultimate challenge in keeping your cool. Otherwise, you'll look like an idiot.

Hey, I have been a Starcraft / Broodwar addict for many years, gotta be comin up on 6 or 7 years now at least. It was the first online game I ever played and have stuck with it ever since. I have hung out in the Custom maps channel LITERALLY every day I was ever on and was apart of a HUGE map making community of regulars from the US East server, about 80-100 people total. We were not a clan or anything but we all hung out and threw ideas around and sampled some of the first versions of the great ideas to come like Test of Terran ( now special forces ) and The Blob ( cat and mouse ). I was never a huge UMS designer because I didnt have the patients for triggers heh, so I liked to focus more on designing new and innovative Natural terrains for melee maps. When my buddies were going to be making a UMS they would usually ask me to design them the maps because they knew I was a stickler for fine detailing. I have posted several of my maps on this site but have not seen them added yet so you can see some of my ideas in the making. A few of my maps gained some small fame and I actually saw people playing them in public matches. So I would like to throw my hat in the ring for this position if its ok with you. I am a new member here but my experience with melee maps has at least 6 years of back up experience so I hope to hear back from you on this. Thanks much

Ugh...
I would like to apply for the Melee Leader position.
Reasons why I would be fit as a Leader for this section:
- I have a long experience in melee mapmaking, and even though I haven't made a melee map within the past couple of years, I have much knowledge and experience about it.
- I'm always willing to give feedback and assistance. I have given a lot of feedback to people (regardless of their talent level), I've tested maps with them and gave plenty of positive advice.
- Activeness. Despite not being active on SEN within the past month (except in the News forum), I'll be willing to return to help and moderate. Activeness shouldn't be a problem considering I'm only going half-days at school and I get off before noon everyday, I pretty much have 2 hours of nothingness before I have to go to work.
- Grammar. I always try to use the best grammar and spelling I can. I'm easily understood, so that shouldn't be a problem.
- Friendliness. I've always been a friendly guy in the melee forum. Whether it's been me helping someone that wasn't exactly a high-skilled mapper or whatever, I've always been friendly when posting there. Most people that show their maps in the melee forums I've ended up becoming friends with due to my willingness to help and test. I think this is an important characteristic for someone that's going to be recognized as a "Leader".
- Some plans and ideas for the future if I so happen to get this opportunity: I will want to talk to MiniMoose about holding a seasonal Melee tournament (much like he does now) only, instead of giving the community only two weeks to make a melee map (like with this past tournament), we will choose the best 4 maps or so since the end of the last seasonal tournament and the tournament will be held on those maps. Hopefully that will spark some interest into both UMS and Melee mapmakers, and while doing so, bring the interest of Melee mapmaking up.
I've also been interested in the pro scene for quite a while now. It's important to know strategies and everything of that nature.

I saw this topic and couldnt resist posting, I thought it was about time that the melee forum at least got a new moderator to help keep up with the forum/boost its popularity.
I was actually going to say someone like panschk should do it but I know he is busy with his own site (broodwarmaps.net)
I would actually be willing to help the melee scene becuase I know I want to keep it alive as long as I can. I, in the past, have given advice and feeback for maps, but i am kind when doing it unlike some people =D
I have been involved with melee map making only for a short while (about last November) yet I do have great knowledge of what is melee material. I have made some maps myself, some of my earlier ones im not so proud of, but I know I have improved much since. Besides map making, I play very often and usually do well, I am very much on top of the pro scene and know all the important melee news that is coming from them.
When active on SEN I usually posted about 4-5 times a day in that forum despite how slow it was moving. I would be more than honored to hold a competition to play on user-made maps which helps the makers find new ways to improve thier maps. Since I am active on Panschks site, I would be willing to link some maps as examples, or any articles that are there. I understand that to be good at map making, that the person must have an understanding of the melee game. I know articles, replays, example maps etc would be very helpful to them.
If I become staff or not I would like the melee section to get into a habit of playing on maps that are posted. Many of the maps are posted, talked about for a bit, and never seen again. I would love to get people (myself included) to play on these maps and give the replays to help the maker. The biggest reason is, if someone makes a map, they want it played on, why else would they make it??
I would do my best to try not to be harsh in punishments yet I would get the point across that what they are doing is unacceptable and that they could be hurting someones feelings. I have seen many shy away from the Melee section because of rudeness, and I do not want that happening any more.
Last but certainly not least, if I was ever given the power to the DL DataBase I would finally arrange the maps in the melee section in order. So many non-pro in the pro section, so many pro in the regular section and there are no other sections, no experimental, no 2v2, and I know it would make life much easier for people who want to find maps.
GL to everyone else.

On this site... I dont have much to send as for links, the melee part is so quiet I dont get much a chance. Ive been tring to make melee maps as of late, and I know alot about map balancing. I enjoy melee over UMS most of the time. Ive been coming here since Nov of last year, even though I have only been posting as of late.
I know alot about melee and such, and I just love melee in general. I have plenty of free time, atleast 3-4 hours a day at min. Im very helpful and I have been a mod at other sites before. (Example: http://s3.invisionfree.com/Ikuzo_Youma/ ) Im very calm, it takes alot to upset, but it is possible I guess.
I would like to become a staff here because I love the SEN community. The current mods and admins seem like cool people.
Some things I would do... Hmm. I would advertise and try to get melee more popular on SEN. (Right now about 3-4 people pretty much control melee on SEN)
Well, theres my app. My aim is Gulav Marlrage
