Moderators required!

[JustineMumsnet]

Dear all,

We're looking for a couple more moderators. The current team do an amazing job and of course to some extent you are all moderators - plenty of you email us if you feel something is getting out of hand and for that we're very grateful - but we feel that given how busy the site now is, we need a few more official folks, with access to our direct contact details, watching over it.

Being a moderator requires a diplomacy and restraint, so if those aren't your strong points please do keep posting on Talk, but don't apply to be a moderator . Of course being around a lot also helps.

Moderators essentially have two roles. The first is to help out if queries (including media requests please) aren't answered by bumping and cajoling responses. The second is to attempt to (!) calm inflammatory situations, intervene where misunderstandings occur and keep mumsnet HQ informed (via email and tel if necessary) of anything that might warrant intervention.

It's a purely voluntary post (ie unpaid sadly) but you do get your pic on the mods page so it's not without glamour. If anyone would like to volunteer, please email [email protected].

Many thanks

The mumsnet team

Oh you can't????

bum.

[snivel]

Surely it can be intellectual property though...

you do realise that those successful applicants have to be jumped in like the girl gangs in the states?

can you stand the pain?

you can still claim if you can proove substantial similarity though

I should be making better use of my time shouldn't I?

The real test would be whether we can stand the pain whilst still keeping up our diplomacy and restraint and without contravening the MN swearing policy, Lou!

yes, you get the idea

plus you have to have the mn logo tattooed on your bum

Lou, I already have that

in which case you probably are at an advantage over the others

I am ed

no need to show it off quite so much my dear

there's a good one in camberley i highly recommend, my mate has just given over £600 to them for a full back tattoo, which will take 11 trips to do

I think we could probably suggest some suitable places, sobernow

I have the whole website address on mine LOU cos mine is of such generous proportions

can you fit the archives on as well kanga?

that could be handy

11 trips?

I think that would be taking allegience to MN a little too far ... I could probably cope with one that covered an entire buttock.

Or one entire boob, which in my case is nearly the same amount of skin.

yes, sure can!!!!!!!!!!!!

it will look great when it is done tho, he spotted the design when he took me to have mine done

kanga

but what would we push for the search button?

But 11 trips?

That's gotta hurt.

PMSL Lou!

it will cover his whole back, a japanese etching, all in black and white and shading

i am going to go with him and watch him cry and hold his hand while sniggering into my sleeve

more of a twiddle than push
