Make Tea Not War - We're looking for experienced moderators to help out for the remainder of the primary season

Hi everyone,

Due to the unexpected length of the battle for the Democratic presidential nomination, our moderator switch schedule has been thrown somewhat out of whack. Not only that, but we figure now is probably not the best time to be training new mods. I'm sure you understand.

However, some of our current moderators would like to take a well-deserved break, so we are looking for DU members who have moderated in the past to volunteer to help out for the next few months.

We suspect that our regular moderator switch schedule may be out of action until we have a presumptive nominee, so we'll probably continue to operate a sort of "rolling moderator term" until the primaries are over.

If you wish to apply, please send an email to earlg@democraticunderground.com with the following information:

- Your real name

- Your forum username

- Your address

- Your telephone number

- How much time you spend on Democratic Underground

- Which forums you'd like to moderate, or would not like to moderate (if you have a preference)

- A brief statement which generally outlines your political views

- Your candidate preference for the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries (if you have a preference)

- Have you filled out, signed, and mailed the Moderator Confidentiality Agreement (Updated August 26, 2005)?

Once again, we are looking for experienced moderators only please. We don't have too many slots to fill so I apologize in advance if we are not able to take you on this time around.

Thanks,

EarlG
