    Arrow OPENINGS: Moderator Trainees for the PI Forums!

    CAUTION
    If you cannot read all of these instructions
    and follow them accordingly to apply to
    become a Moderator,
    Then please disregard this topic.



    The Private Investigators Forum is destined to become a largest Internet discussion board in the world for private investigators, case examiners, and other professionals - when our formal email invitations are released to the remaining general membership.

    There are several sub-forum openings for Moderators and Sr. Moderators. We need to recruit and train 80 Moderators and Sr. Moderators for the "long term" project of this website.

    This website is nothing like anything else in the world for private investigators . . . . . nothing! Yet, we have been challenged with increased demands, having a higher speed connections, having forum software that won't crash, having sponsors in place to help offset the cost of hosting the website, and having qualified and trained Moderators & Sr. Moderators in place.

    Everything has been accomplished, except the last step . . . enough sufficient numbers of qualified and trained Moderators and Sr. Moderators.



    We are still adding more Moderator Benefits to the program, but so far we are looking at the following:

    * The above benefits are for active moderators. Less active moderators may request a discount on the free items if they are not active. Activity is based on at least once a week postings, tasks, approvals, etc in the Moderators Journal. Inactive Moderators receive no discounts or benefits. Inactivity may be deemed after an absence of one month or more.


    ALSO:

    • These positions are voluntary, but will give the Moderator immense exposure to thousands of agencies and firms worldwide. In a sense, it is a position as a "News Anchor", such as seen on broadcast television.

    • Moderators and Sr. Moderators can choose their days and hours of coverage, of which they leave a browser window open to monitor and reply to other investigator member's topics and replies.

    • Experience as an investigator is not required, but a desire to read up on the subject and to post interesting topics and comments is.




    In order to pre-qualify for an application:

    1. Start participating in the forums by helping other members. Take your lead by following the examples of other Administrators, Moderators, and Members in how helpful they are to directing members in answering their questions.

    2. The applicant should complete the FAQ Tutorials. The tutorials are easy to follow and do not require any prior experience.

    3. Other tutorials are offered in the forum titled Technical Support.

    4. Once the FAQ's and tutorials are completed, the applicant should begin posting test topics and replies in the Test Your Skills Forum . Place a few samples there.

    5. Then email us and give your name and details through the following link:

      We'll go from there!


    Thanks for your interest. It can be extremely fun.

    Re: OPENINGS: Moderator Trainees for the PI Forums!

    The Moderator position is a volunteer position, therefore there currently aren't any required daily time frames to be online. We would like to see Moderators as active as they can be, such as once a week.

    In your case, you would be taking on the task as a forum guide when you first begin the Moderator process. As a forum guide, the more observations you make, the faster you are promoted to Moderator.

    There are some Moderators who have been Moderators forever and do not devote the same amount of time as others because their life and work schedule doesn't permit them from doing so. The best thing to do is apply, begin the process and determine if you can factor the task of being a Moderator in, or determine the Moderator position isn't something you can fulfill at this present time.

    Re: OPENINGS: Moderator Trainees for the PI Forums!

    I read all the instructions, but have a question about the test your writing. I looked through what each student was practicing. It looks like they were practicing sizing photos, bold print, etc. Is there a list of things we need to do for this? There are no instructions that say what is needed. I have been welcoming newcomers, read through all the FAQ's, and read a lot of the technical stuff, and I emailed Julie. I posted that I wanted to apply for a moderator position because some where in my readings someone suggested it.

    Thanks for your help.

    I believe you are already doing this.


    The applicant should complete the FAQ Tutorials. The tutorials are easy to follow and do not require any prior experience.
    You say you've done this.


    Other tutorials are offered in the forum titled Technical Support.
    You say you have done this as well.


    Once the FAQ's and tutorials are completed, the applicant should begin posting test topics and replies in the Test Your Skills Forum . Place a few samples there.
    This lets the administrators and moderator trainers know where your abilities are in regard to your forum skill, so they know where you need training, and can see you're following the pre-qualifying instructions.


    Then email us and give your name and details through the following link:
    http://www.ipiu.org/forums/sendmessage.php
    If you have completed all of the above, take this step. Be sure to read everything you're given very carefully and pay attention to detail. Though I have not graduated a moderator training, I did train. The experience still benefits me today.

    We'll go from there!
