As you all are likely aware, we are starting up a new section on Bluelight which we are calling "Recovery".
For more information, Click Here.

The Dark Side will be moved and reside under the new Recovery Section, with the addition of the two NEW forums 'Mental Health' and 'Recovery Support' (Name still under discussion).
We are looking to have a group of moderators overseeing all forums, together as a team, and contribute to developing these forums.

This means we are now accepting applications for a few additional moderators!

To explain a little more clearly, the three forums will be as follows:

TDS will be focused on life events, traumatic life experiences, social threads and general questions.

Mental Health will be focused on Mental Health questions, support and medication discussion.

Recovery Support will be for Support Group information, discussion, and threads inquiring about/supporting sober living and overcoming addictions.

If you have an interest in being a part of this exciting new extension of Bluelight, special interest or skills in either the mental health field, or the recovery field, please send in an application!

Again, it will be a shared position so while you may have more experience in say, Recovery Support, with experience and/or information regarding support groups, you will also have a passive role moderating the other two forums. This is not to say the bulk of your knowledge and time would not be spent in the Recovery Support forum, just that you will also be able to participate as a moderator in the other forums as well.

Your duties as a moderator will include:

* to be an active contributor to the forum, to build forum content, add discussion, and to provide level headed advice in a place of non-judgment
* check all forum threads for violations of BLUA and forum guidelines and enforce our rules
* respond to reports on threads in TDS
* edit, merge, move threads to appropriate forums, modify posts as required
* other general forum responsibilities

Please PM your application to any two Modertaors of TDS: herbavore, RedLeader, Sepher, stardust.hero, Re-distributed, tripnotyzm, spork, SkagKush, Vaya
One of the two Senior Moderators: Effie or Vaya
And one of the Admin overseeing TDS: ocean, alasdairm

In your application it would be handy to note the following:

* Your location
* The amount of time you spend on Bluelight each day
* Any particular interests you have being a moderator in TDS and what you feel you could bring to the forum as a moderator
* Any experiences or skills you have that would be of benefit to the forum
* Ideas for improvements and/or activities or threads to add to our forum
* Why you are interested in The Dark Side
*Which of the new sections you may have an interest in or experience with and why
*Any additional information you would like to include

Thank you in advance to all who apply!
We look forward to having additional members join our team during this transition!

Please Submit your applications by: March 21st, 2013

Please don't use this thread to suggest applicants.

If you think someone would suit this position, send a PM and tell them to put in their applications.

I wish you all luck, I can't wait to see who we'll be working with in the future :D

Good luck to everyone who applys. TDS and the new recovery section is one of the most important (in my mind) forums on bluelight. I look forward to working with new people who care about others and try their best to help BL grow and flourish. Such an exciting time.
 
^This and ^^that! As a new mod myself I can assure those who might consider applying it's a really rewarding role working with a truly fantastic team of people that offers the chance to have some real input into the direction one of the most important areas of Bluelight is heading with the launch of the recovery forums. Exciting times indeed. Looking forward to seeing some applications, think we've a good pool of potential applicants here so get them in! Good luck to all who apply. :)
 
No need to be shy, we don't bite...though I think one of Sepher's ferrets nipped me a bit yesterday. ;) Seriously, if you think you have something good to offer to TDS and the new recovery section, we'd love to look over your application! <3 :)
 
^ No one is leaving goonbag. We just need a few more mods for the expansion and changes that are occurring in TDS.

So its strictly positive. :)

Who's leaving? please don't say herbavore! Or is it just that more people are needed?

NOTE TO SELF _ read more... lol more people are needed and if they are half as good as the current mods in this section then everything will be ok

I'm not going anywhere! I love this place.:) And I love the inclusion of the new forums. I know that we will be getting a lot of great applications. Good luck to everyone!

Good to hear! You're such a strong, caring and helpful woman I would hate to see you leave
I think I remember Herbi helping me when i first came here seeking to get off the opiates, or more specifically seeing posts from her. Much appreciated <3
 
This sounds like a promising idea. I'm not exactly sure what's happening though, is this going to be a separate sub-forum, or an expansion on the current one? If so, what does this expansion entail and how does it differ from how TDS is operating at the current moment?
 
TDS is going to be moved from Drug Discussion to a new Recovery section in which there will also be a mental health forum and a recovery support forum.
 
The current addition of the prefixes here in TDS should give you an idea of how this will break down into different forums.
