Staredit Network -> Staff Lounge -> Modding Section Leader Applications
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Yoshi da Sniper on 2005-09-08 at 12:40:24
This is an application to become a Modding 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.

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.
- Good english skills.

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!

DO NOT REPLY UNLESS YOU ARE SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. CREATE NEW TOPICS IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT THIS POSITION. THANK YOU.

Here are some examples of my work on SEN (very few)

EDIT: Added VoyCraft

http://www.staredit.net/index.php?showtopic=15550

I have additional mods and resources on my computer, PM me if you want them, or I can e-mail them. I'm comfortable with almost all modding programs, I have 1 year of SC modding experience, and 2 and half years of general game modding experience.

I also have some experience moderating forums. I've moderated my friend's forum, my own invisionfree forum as well as the [MM] forums.

- Why you would want to become staff here.


I want to become SEN staff because I enjoy the SEN community, and would like to give back to it in any way possible. I also want to help new modders and people interested in learning modding.

- Some of the things you would do to improve the section you are applying for.


I'd make sure that people posting in the Modding Assitance forums get a fast and useful response to their question. I'd also moderate the forums and organize modding competitions and activities. I'd try to bring back Mod Night and pin a topic of modding resources in the forums for easy access.

I'd also compile an error database of common modding errors.

I have AIM and MSN, I spend alot of time on SEN (So I'd be available 99% of the time). I try to be legible and calm in my posts, I've never been warned for flaming/spamming to my knowledge.

I would like to apply.
App:

I have made alot of mods for starcraft, and some on the computer, such as Sound Recorder +, Calculator Active, and etc..

I get along with alot of people as long as they dont get on my bad side. I always believe that if you are in charge of something, you have to set some rules. If I were to be the leader of the Modding Section, I would do all my duties to keep this community, nice and a great place to be.

I have alot of friends, that I make quickly, I have Xbox Live, so you can talk to me there, AIM ( MaP Efierce ) and MSN ( mjohnson526@triad.rr.com ).

I also am an admin of a GFX Website, in which you can go to by clicking here. I live in the US on the East Coast ( North Carolina ), and I'd love to work with you all in the modding forums.

If I dont become the leader of the modding forums, it's fine. I just know that, I tried, and I let the admins and staff of SEN know that if they need me I'm here.

Thank you, and good luck to the other people of SEN that apply.

Example Links:
I know this isn't much BUT someone released it for it was supposed to be released.
This is my Gaurdian mod, it's in the works.
Here is my Campaign Editor Mod, StarEdit 2. I was working on importing colors into it, but decided people had all those other editors, so whats the point of mine?

I know these are not much, but I work extremely hard and I take my time to make mods, because I want them to help Starcraft have cooler things for you, so you dont have to just play your favorite map everyday.

I would like to apply for the position of modding section leader.

I am proficient with most aspects of modding, including but not limited to: /arr editing, memory patching, string table editing, sounds and graphics editing and finally iscripting.

Here are some examples of my works on SEN:
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?tutorial=217
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?act=Atta...e=post&id=10257

If you look at content instead of link count, this is approximately equivalent to voyager's submissions.

I want to become staff here because I would like to take an active roll in improving this website. This would also give me a focus for my web browsing activities, giving me a specific task to do instead of browsing SEN randomly. I deeply desire that focus.

The modding section is very much under appreciated and I would like to improve it in the following substantial ways.

1. There needs to be more modding content in the DLDB. This includes GRPs and Wavs that modders might want to include in their mods. I would like to make sure that SEN is a website capable of serving all your modding needs.
2. I would push for a larger file size limit beciase I would also like to see more advanced TCs included in the DLDB despite their large size and previous patch requirements. These mods give people something wonderful to aspire to, and they are also much more playable on map nights then 1 sided mods such as doom dragoon.
These mods are very hard to obtain at the moment, and the sites that post them have very slow dl speeds and bad bandwidth, and their inclusion would popularize SEN tremendously (if the bandwidth needs are too high, I'ld be willing to make a donation to see these mods included).
3. To accommodate for those more advanced TCs, I will write up a step by step idiot proof tutorial on getting multiple versions of starcraft installed on your computer.
4. I would like to encourage single player modding for 1.07, and I'ld be willing to provide tutorials on assembly, as well as linking to ones on other sites.
5. I'll prod SI to update memgraft! tongue.gif
6. I intend to have a graphic + sound Bnet mod competition at some point, because those mods are both easy to make (in a way), and they are the most often played because of their wide range of compatibility.

I have excellent English skills (although I mutter offline), the spell checker on my Google toolbar probably has something to do with that tongue.gif
Committed as described above.
I am calm, I don't lose my temper online (and if I do, I'll walk away from the computer).
I have sufficient free time, pr oven by the fact that I'm a SEN regular.
My AIM is: Starcraft Wizard
My email address is: Starcraft4ever@gmail.com

P.S: A larger file size limit would enable us to put Starcraft Aspect on the DLDB.

I would like to be a modding forums staff cause I like modding and I visit these forums all the time since I like trying to help people and occasionally cause I need help blushing.gif

If I was a moderator I would try to help people fix their bugs in the mods they make and help people to improve their mods by giving them ideas or telling them how to do things when they ask

I have only completed 1 mod before though so you may not want to chose me since all that mod did was make StarCraft 2X Fast heres my mod
But I do have another one being made currently that hopefully will be alot better then my last one this ones called The Darkest Swarm

sorry I dont have msn or aim but if you need to contact me just send me a PM

Here are some link's to some of my own topic's...
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?showtopic=15785 - The creation of SlyCraft!
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?showtopic=16388 - The thought of the Beta Mod
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?showtopic=16130 - InsanseSC (95% completed)

The reason i'm applying to become a staff, Is because that I feel that I can make a real improvement in the modding community, And I can really inspire people to actually make mod's, So that the Modding Database can grow larger and larger, I also feel that I can really help people that are in need of assistance. I'm also going to be more and more active since I don't have to worry about school anymore. I also enjoy the community and the people that come to chat here. I also get along with many people of the SEN community, If people don't get along with me, Then I will have to deal with it. Not evrey one is going to be nice disgust.gif . I know it take's alot of responsibility to become a moderator, And to handle the job, But i'm willing to give my 80% of being a moderator to this site.

Some thing's I would do to improve the section i'm applying for, Is that I know that I can start helping people if they really need the help, I will be very willing to look for what does and does not belong in the section. I will alway's be working on mod's to submit to the DLDB. Also the people that are in need of some modding assistance, I know that I will be there for them as much as I can. I would also hold about 5-6 modding competition's monthly, Or yearly. Depend's on how many people are into modding smile.gif.

Also, For the record I would like to put a little more to the application:

I would make the modding section of the website more noticeable by the member's of this website, That never get a real chance to ever see what modding is really all about, I would do this by helping the new comer's to this wbesite, And new comer's to the world of modding. I would also donate around 50+ USD, To see all of the mod's that I help people with be included into the DLDB, I know that the people that I help will have way bigger file sizes than what there suppose to have... Don't worry Yoshi, This isn't bribary smile.gif.

Since I don't have school to think about anymore, I will be working on more and more mod's for the website, And for the modding community/world. In the near future, I may be going into the military. Once I retire from there, I would have a good look on how to make very nice war mod's, If there isn't enough already.

Also, I have some contact detail's if you can't reach me here, But I know you can since I will be 80% active smile.gif, (The other 20% is going toward's modding).

I will also be taking the time to fix up the tutorial's in the the Tutorial Base, Some of the tutorial's I was looking at earlier were 60% wrong. So I will donate some of my precious time to fix them up also.

I have a few mod's on my PC as of right now, If you wan't to check them out, I will be adding them to the DLDB in a few day's, Or you can just PM me and ask me for them. I have alot of knowledge about modding, Alot of people may know this by now, I even created my own Modding clan.

I used to be a moderator at a few big site's, But most of them are dead now. I was almost a Global Moderator on all of them, So I have alot of experience of being a moderator.

Thank's for the time of reading my application, If you don't think i'm worthy of getting the spot, No hard feeling's, We can alway's be friends smile.gif

Need I say more?

---------

To help improve the modding section and bring it more prominence in SEN. Modding deserves more respect.

---------

-More pointing to the tutorial to streamline the Assistance forum.
-Some good modding contests to really encourage modding
-Big popularization of large modding projects

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I'd hopefully resurrect the SEN-MOD team once more SENers get an active interest in modding. We didn't really get enough people the first time.
