Tweeting Again

Want to make the world a better place? Becoming a Good-Tutorials moderator is the very foundation for building a better Earth.
Slight exaggeration aside, we could really use your help with moderating. As Good-Tutorials expands, we get more and more tutorials submitted every day. The more people we can get to help moderate these new tutorials, the better everyone's experience will be. We can get the better tutorials listed on the front page so that every Good-Tutorials visitor can benefit.
What's the difference between a normal user and a moderator? This recent blog post helps cover that. In a nutshell, since a moderator tends to see more tutorials and have more experience, how they rate a tutorial matters more. You'll also get the coveted "moderator" title next to your name on your comments. There's also a number of other things in mind for moderators in the near future, too.
If you're interested in donating a few minutes a day or a few times a week to helping sift through tutorials, shoot me an email at zach I at I good-tutorials.com. Include with it: 1. Your Good-Tutorials username, and 2. A short paragraph or two of why you think you're qualified to moderate tutorials (and which topics you're interested in).
If you're interested in helping out but are unsure about the commitments necessary, always feel free to head to the upcoming listings and rate a few tutorials... the more the merrier!
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Good points, and all points that will be addressed in the near future. Definitely have some fun stuff in store for moderators (and the whole site, generally).
Is this still open? Thanks
Sure; just ping me and I'll look over your "application". (Naturally too brief for a real application, but probably the most appropriate verbiage for it.)
There needs to be some kind of incentive to be a moderator besides getting "Moderator" next to your name in comments. Maybe not money because you don't see a direct return in profit from moderators, but possibly let moderators make posts sometimes, or have some kind of moderators area where you can learn all about them, what website they have, etc.
Just an idea.
