Hello boys, girls, women, men - people, as of right now the market squad is looking to pick up some new recruits to one day become real staff members! You'll joinme the current, experienced, msquad team and be watched and guided through the trial process until you're ready to be promoted.
The Job
The job of a market squad staff members is to moderate the Market section of the forums, as well as to investigate cases of scam that are posted in Scam Reports.
Be aware that the position requires a good knowledge of the market board rules (yes I know theres quite a few) since this is the area of the forum we have to enforce, and is extremely active. Keep this in consideration when deciding to apply.
How to Apply
The application format is free-form, but please include any languages you are competent in.
This guide is useful if you're stuck or don't know how to start.
Send all your applications to SmallBowl, Life, FMA05 or Icky. Other market squad members are not receiving applications due to inactivity, as a result sending your applications to them may result in you not being considered.
DO NOT POST YOUR APPLICATIONS HERE!
The recruitment period will close whenever we've gotten a satisfactory amount of applications. When that happens it will be announced here and this thread will be closed.
Notes
After you have sent in your application and/or after apps are closed, keep in mind that it will still be some time until new trials are announced. Please do not pm myself or other squad members asking about the status of your application. Applications that have been accepted will receive a PM stating so and will receive instructions on what to do from this point forward as a trial market squad member.
Due to the number of applications we get, we are unable to provide individual feedback on applications.
If you have any general questions, please post them in this thread. "Good luck/I sent my app" posts will get you infracted, your post deleted, and possibly have your application discarded.
Good luck!

I would apply but shmevin recently told me that it's close to impossible to let me in msquad because of my shitposts in the market section :'c
It would've been great to have me in since I can spot a scam from a banana away
I guess I'll just try to stop my shitposting for awhile and apply when I don't have as much infracs

SOMTHING NEW SOMETHING NEW
Good luck to all members, on a side note a question:
In general how long does the average trial period last?
If you don't know everything considering the market, but know decently a good amount, will you learn along the way of becoming a full member?
Let's say a member applies, and get's trial, how would you know you got past your trial other than of course seeing a sign by your name ingame and your name being green?
More market related questions:
Is there any specific rules/errors/goofs that the trials/new members should look out for mostly, in other words, are there any common things that happen a decent amount we should be aware of when moderating? I understand if you can not answer this publicly.
In your honest opinions how active would said applicants need to be in order to have decent chances?

Not my exact words. I stated that the amount of infractions you have received recently serves as a good indication of your knowledge of Market rules. How could we expect you to enforce the rules if you are not able to follow them yourself? You may have good intentions, but Market Squad is responsible for more than just solving scam reports.
This same logic applies to anyone interested in becoming a Market Squad member. Please consider how well you know Market rules, as well as your ability to spot inappropriate posts.

1. Trial periods are not limited to a specific time frame. Generally speaking you can expect a decision to be made after about a month of being a trial. This amount of time may be shorter for those who learn fast or perform very well, or longer for those who need it.
2. Regardless of your market experience, there are things you can only learn as a trial, so don't be discouraged if you aren't a full time marketeer. Market experience definitely helps you if you were to apply, but it is not a requirement. As a trial you will learn how to solve reports, moderate the forums, and perform certain tasks. You're also encouraged to ask full Market Squad members for help or advice.
3. If you are a trial member who is promoted to full, you will be notified.
4. I'd say the most important thing to remember is to ask for help when you are uncertain of what to do. It's better to ask for help than to make the wrong call, especially when it comes to infractions, bans, or the contents of someone's inventory. Other than that there isn't much to be worried about as long as you read the tutorial threads provided to you.
5. We understand that everyone's schedule and obligations are different, but trials definitely need to have some free time set aside to learn the ropes. Expect to dedicate several hours a week to your position.
