It has come time once again to induct a new moderator into the ranks. Laika has decided it's time to take that final trip off into the sunset so we're looking for a good man (or woman) to step up and guide the trippers of tomorrow.

We are looking for somebody who is dedicated to Harm Reduction and advice on the topic of use and handling psychedelics, is knowledgeable on the various aspects of the subject matter, is willing to spend quite a bit of time online (preferably at least once a day checking through the forum, although of course "leave of absence" applies), enjoys dispensing opinionated recommendations %) and basically wants to do it. There is no need for omnipotence; ie. there is no expectation that the moderator has to have consumed every drug out there and know everything, but what is expected is a compassionate, enthusiastic and empathetic response to matters and a desire to spend time doing sometimes thankless tasks. Being around a lot and feeling at home here are more than a plus!

As a forum, PD is filled with Nice Happy Folk and so there isn't much in the way of controlling the forums flow; we (the mods) more sort threads out into specific categories, merge in random topics, shut, open, erase etc. Sometimes a bit tedious, but rewarding as you will be helping to build a stronger community of knowledgeable people and counteracting some of the harm introduced by governments of the worlds current inability to change their stance on drugs.

We'd also love individuals who will bring new ideas and help guide the direction of the forum to progress it forward.

Please apply only via PM making sure you send a copy to: Xorkoth, Solipsis, Atara, JesusGreen and Transform


In your application please include:

  • Why are you interested in the position
  • Why you are qualified for the position
  • What relevant education, knowledge and experience you have
  • How often you'll be able to dedicate to the role and when you are available (timezone etc.)
  • Any other relevant information


New perks are: Time / pupil / cervical dilation (choose one), synaesthesia (if you can see what I'm saying), forgetfulness, sensory sensations, the mythical modstick - you gotta jiggle it if it gets stuck in 3rd gear sometimes - , goosefrabumps, bootybumps, ever swirling lovetrunks, pornographical viewmaster, forgetfulness, flashbacks, forgetfulness, deja vu, pleonasms, flashbacks, synergistic synonyms and last but not least... amnesia.

I guess I am saying you'd be working in a team which is basically also a lot of fun. ;)

Please Apply!

PD needs a mod? I'd love to do this, but most likely I wouldn't be able to commit to the time required.

Choose someone good, mods! Good luck with the search. :)
 
I've filled the snack bowl with fresh ergot sclerotia, looking forward to having a new team member!
 
How's the mod search going? I am SO tempted to apply, but I feel like I wouldn't be a good enough mod. And there might be days that I'm not around.

I've always wanted to do something like this though. Helping others is always a worthwhile gig. :)
 
There are plenty of days I don't log on to bluelight. An application might take you 20 minutes but other than that you've got nothing to lose :)
 
Oh, well in that case, if this is still up after 2 weeks then I'll definitely apply. If there's a new mod by then, I'm also curious to see who it is too.

Thanks for the encouragement Transform. =D
 
I'm very pleased with the applications so far. :) Thank you!

But by all means, don't be discouraged to send in an application of your own guys... we are just looking for someone with time, affinity and some minimum knowledge and enthousiasm on their hands, willing to help out.

<3
 
I think you guys should pick the next mod using some sort of Thunderdome method.

CAAAANNNNNN YOOOOOUUUUU DIIIIIIGGGG IIIIIITTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!??
 
My dream job lol. I think I will apply next year when I've had some time off of mxe. Both Trozzle and TheNightwatch(
if he's intrested) would be great choices imo.

<3 heh
 
i've applied; i definitely qualify for all the fields but even if i don't become a moderator we all can still help others out like a moderator can! :) i'm hoping to get the gig so i can 1) learn more about psychedelics and help people out and 2) so i can use it on my resume when drugs become legal/for if and when i become a psychedelic researcher.
 
hahaha that's actually an interesting point - using it on your resume :D

who knows, maybe one day we actually can heh :)
 
well it is an international debate; legalization that is :)

thats why it's important to help aid reform by writting to legislators and such to show that the public doens't support the failed war on drugs

eh, i appreciate the mention, but i don't really delve into PD often enough these days for that to make sense. yeah, i always am in the PD social, but i almost never make it to the other threads around.

i probably should more often, though.
 
ME! I'M A CLOSET CONTROL FREAK AND PERFECTIONIST.
