Long story short: We're looking for new Janitors and Moderators to bolster our ranks out a bit.

We're looking for dependable people that can invest an hour or two daily into the page to help keep everything afloat and in proper order.
Requirements are that you're dependable, consistent in your decisions, a team player, responsible, and fair to users. We would also require that you join our private Slack team, in order for us to discuss any issues as they come up, and to make sure that we're all on the same level regarding our rules and enforcement of the same.

If you're unfamiliar with what the different jobs do:

In addition to that we're also looking for another developer or two, if you're interested in that position you'd need to know Ruby, Rails, PostgreSQL, Javascript, CSS, as well HTML.

If you think you have what it takes please please fill out the questionnaire here and we will contact you within a couple of days.

These are volunteer positions, so obviously your real life has higher priority than helping on e621 and as such the time requirements, as well as what you'd like to help out with, aren't set in stone but are more rough guidelines.

Thanks for reading and good luck!

And we're done here.

We have now 119 applications to sort through. Thank you for applying!

Wow...sounds like a lot to take in. :/

wow that is a lot more involved than back in my day

One to two hours daily? Easy enough.

We have grown quite a bit.

Rough estimate, the goal is to bring it down by having more people.

Eghghh I like to help but I'm probably not up to e621 moderation standards(I'm dumb and too loose on rules when moderating which has backfired), and of all the listed coding stuff, I only know the last 3.
Hope you guys find some good team members though!

I'm interested! What's the pay rate?

Applied.

Volunteer position, so sadly unpaid.

Are there any qualifications for a job like this? Is there an evaluation once the job is filled? Sounds like a good deal of power that could be utilized in the wrong hands.

Wow. Both of two are hard to me..

Everybody will be trained and monitored, and if the worst comes to the worst we still have tools to make clean up quick and painless.

I was just wondering a few days ago, if/how I should apply. And now this is a thing.

Since I'm graduating college next month, I was wondering: is the developer position paid?

Sounds intriguing, if you'll let me i wouldn't mind

It's a dream come true. I must apply at once!

Edit:
I did it, I did it!

I'd love to help out! I'll fill the form right away.

Applied.
I will do as much as I can to help out. Also, do I join the Slack team before or after becoming a staff member? How do I join?

Unfortunately, no.

After, and we'll get new staffers set up on Slack eventually.

Eventually being directly after hiring, but it's one an invite-only basis by design.

Ukko reporting for duty.
May e621 dominate over all other galleries.
(which it already does, kinda)

I sent my application, I am very interested to join Slack temporarily and meet the team, see how they operate, get to know each others.

Would be a great experience knowing e621 is run by people,not robot. Sometime we forget that people spend time and effort behind the scene for this to happen, and are rarely credited.

Xenjin said:
Unfortunately, no.

Okay, thanks. I'm still interested in getting involved, so my application is in.

Qmannn said:
How much time do staff members currently invest into e6 on average?

I invest 5-8h for everything (Modqueue, takedowns, emails, dmails, tickets, various other things). The others a lot less, if I had to guess somewhere around 1-2h for most.

My staff application has been sent in!~ Wonder if I get a staff in return, with a hat and robe.

Being someone who spends way more time on this site than I should, I'm kinda interested.

Is there a way to edit your application after sending it in? there is so many details I realised I could've elaborated on afterwards.

Edit:Just realised, applying for a position with two Nazis as my avatar. what could go wrong? lol. god I should change that

But they're such cute nazis...

On topic, had this come up not even month ago I would've applied immediately, I have experience as a sysadmin and network admin in a mid-sized corp (funny thing i noticed in there, lots of furries and weebs in the computing and tech fields). Unfortunately, i just landed an actual job which has a very variable schedule. My paychecks will have to come first, for now.

You should be able to edit your response if you open the link again. I think I set it to modify responses instead of showing a fresh form.

Also, your avatar is going to be one of the last criteria we go for.

You'd fit in well with the lead admin.

That doesn't seem to be the case. Re-opening it loads up blank for me.

Could be that it either requires cookies or being logged into a Google account.
In any case I can't change the settings right now because the Google Forms page is complete crap on mobile.

Okay, thanks. I'll fix it when I get home from work. I had to rush it as I was about half done and realised I was almost late for work.

Just wanted to say really quickly to show a manner of good sportsmanship, (or jobsmanship? Idk):

Good luck to all who apply!

I don't mean to sound brown-nosed but I applied as well because I wish to be able to do more good for such a lovely community, so I sincerely hope that whoever gets accepted (whether I am or not) uses their new position to do just that.

Thanks everyone, and again good luck!

Now that Barbados is unbanned we should promote him to god-Admin.
Good luck everyone.

Nice, quite tempting I suppose...

Im military and can be gone for 2 weeks to a month from time to time.could i still be a part of this with little issue?

Qmannn said:

My average is all over the place. On days off I've spent 12 hours (or more) working on code or tagging projects, but on other days I just check the forums and respond to what I can using my phone when I'm on lunch.

I don't really think so myself, it actually seems a lot less to take in than I had expected. I've been a staff member before on numerous game servers and they were much more strict there.

I sent an application in! I'm excited too see what happens.

Once upon a time I was a guide in EverQuest. I remember having to keep logs, submit reports of each session, minimum # hours per week, etc. But I had so much fun with it...back when Guides actually got to help with stuff instead of just running scripted "events."

_{Ah, the good ol' days of Newbie Yo-Yo...}

Oh snap, its my time to shine!
Count me in.

@NotMeNotYou

I thought of a few questions I had that, if answered, may help any others who were wondering too:

1) How long will this remain open?

2) What exactly is looked at when considering who gets the position(s)? To be more specific, is there anything in particular that may sway the decision in favor of certain users? (Eg. How long someone has been a member, number of tag edits, etc.)

3) Is there anything in particular that might disqualify certain users from getting the position(s)? (Eg. A past record, number of deleted posts, etc.)

Thanks ahead of time!

I think I'll send in an application for Janitor, seeing how I'm very active on this site as of right now, and I often help with tags and uploading as well.

Besides, with my flexible school hours, I can easily help out with accepting/denying submissions and taking down images flagged for deletion, taking off some pressure from the other mods so they can do other, more important things.

Count me in!

I don't think i can speak english fluenty enough to be a janitor.
I'd be happy with just a priveledged rank , so i wouldn't have to wait an hour after i tagged 150 pics in about 10 minutes.
Actually time wouldn't be a problem and i can handle people, plus im loyal as f*ck, but im not selfconfident enough with my english.

Oh, I even forgot to wish you guys good luck.

Good luck everyone on applying.

Okay, well I fixed my application and resubmitted. had to retype it from the beginning, but Meh, not actually a problem.

Anyways, best of luck to everyone. and have a good day (:

The applicant number will surely be high

May the odds be in your favor

Im interested in the position , I spend easily over a few hours on this site a day anyway and would be happy to help in moderating / cleaning it up ^_^

I applied :3

(On another note I probably seem like massive arsehole in the application. Sowwy)

I'd love to try out for it, but I'm to much of a beginner here.

When should we expect a reply about our applications?

Leather said:

You should apply anyways, being part of the community doesn't all come from experience alone, sometimes just having the right personality is enough. Also the team would train you for the task you would be doing. If you have the time to dedicate towards the site I say go for it ;)

Problem I have is that it's two cubs in an explicit image. Nobody cares about fictional Nazis in a real capacity.

You can hit the "hide" button under your post, then, y'know?

BlurredLight said:

Depends on how many we get. Right now we're at ~70 and they all need to be gone through before a decision is made.

Wow that sound like a lot of job

idk if I should apply lol

Application is in, fingers crossed! ^^

Sent in mine. Been mooching off the site for so long, it'd be nice to give back.

A lot of people applying, that's really good news! :D

I wish this came when I had no job...now I can't afford to be on here for more than an hour now... :'( *Weep weep*

1) Probably only until tomorrow, we're already at 94 applications and slightly exceed our expectations based on the volume.

2 & 3) It's a secret to everybody.
