But if no one is suitable for the job, then yes, here at AF is a good place to start looking outside of the community.

If so, ask them in private...if you don't know of anybody, you can either ask for people to apply in your forums, or you can ask elsewhere (such as here at AF). We've got a pretty good article on finding staff here that you might be interested in. Oh, and in order to hire people here at AF, you'll need to be here 2 days and have 10 posts first...then you may do so in the appropriate forum in the Marketplace

However, even at that, I wouldn't hire someone off an admin forum unless I did my homework on them and have been familiar with their postings, etc. at the admin forum. I'd really have to have been checking the person out for a while. | ||||

| Title: Lurker Join Date: Oct 2006 Posts: 10 ![]() | i can be a moderator as i am very much into gaming.. First promote the forum as much as you can and try to get as many member.. advertise for it and keep some rewards for posting.. then see who is posting more .. just select him.

| Title: Lurker Join Date: Oct 2006 Posts: 11 ![]() | i think you should promote from within. On my forums if a member is very loyal and active, i know they'll be a great moderator and it'll actually mean something to them. I'd never recommend making friends moderators because they usually tend to feel special and can do whatever they want and abuse the powers. Promote from within | ||||
