Market Squad Recruitment Drive
Market Squad Recruitment
As of now, the Market Squad is currently looking to pick up fresh meat.

The life of a squid is a simple one; all you have to do is moderate the Market section of the forums, as well as to investigate cases of scam that are posted in Scam Reports. Easy enough, right?


What specifically will I be doing?

The Market Squad are a group of forum moderators that specialize in the general regulation of the market forums and solving scam reports; they also play relevant role in most market-related policy discussion. Your general work consists of handling active scam reports, moderating the entirety of the Market board and handling Market-related reports.

Be aware that the position may require a fair portion of your time, as the Market section is a big part of the forum and has a whole list of rules you'll need to enforce.
There's no particular application format. However, we expect you to inform about your activity level on a daily basis and your GMT.

Tips? We don't have any, but DARGON DOES!


Where do I send my application?

THE RECRUITMENT DRIVE IS OFFICIALLY OVER




~~~

If you have any general questions, please post them in this thread. A Market Squad member or a staff member that works relatively closely with the Market Squad will make sure to answer your question.

Yes, Market Squad has trials, they'll look just like LMods of the board. Not sure about the similarities between ES and MS trials though.

Saying that, it's possible that those accepted would become Market Squad straight away, because it's a recruitment drive.

R.I.P didn't see this:

Yes, we do have a trial period, and the gist of it is to get you up to speed with our policies and moderation standards.

(note: you can still ask questions here, it doesn't really matter where the questions are sent)

To put it vaguely, you'd have to really suck.

Good afternoon everyone! The Market Squad recruitment drive has officially closed. Over the next couple of days the Market Squad (as well as other relevant staff) will deliberate and post their opinions on every application we've received over this drive.

If you have any final questions, please get them in! This thread will be closed shortly after the Market Squad has hired our new trials. Thanks!

They wouldn't have one.

And is there a possibility that SOMEHOW, all applicants are denied?

We don't have a fixed number that we'll take, and if everyone sucks, we'll take no one.

There's no set length for the trial period—the evaluation can take anywhere from a week to a month. It just depends on the trial.

Yes, there are multiple sources of information that will aid you in becoming a full Market Squad member.

I have a few questions:
  • If we were accepted into the team, would be get a message?
  • How long does it averagely take to be notified if so?
  • If someone were to be accepted as trial, and later on not be able to be active, would they be removed or would they be able to be "afk" for like a day or so?
