Hello Everyone,
Lately, we've been recieving a lot
of PM's asking how we can join
the Dev Team. Therefore, we're
making this topic so that you
know what the requirements are
and what you can do or not do
to become a Dev Team Member.
The following is the main
criteria:
You must always be polite to
your co - members. You must
practice the Gandhian principle
that if someone slaps you on one
cheek, you offer the other.
Therefore, if someone is
offensive, you must be polite and
courteous. Everything can be
solved with patience and
maturity. Your conduct must be
exemplary and outstanding. You
cannot have any warnings
against yourself. If you have
been warned even once, then
you become automatically
disqualified from being part of
the Development Team. You
must be available. You can't join
the Dev Team and go on a 5-year
vacation. You must NOT be a
spammer!! Having 50,000 posts
doesn't guarantee you to
become a Dev Team Member ...
neither does having a 100 posts
make you a great candidate. We
are looking for maturity and the
ability to handle responsibility.
We are looking for creativity -
someone who can take on a
section and make it active with
contests, interesting topics, etc.
1. You HAVE to follow the COC at all
times!!!
Some other things to
remember while applying for
Dev Team Positions:
If you want to be part of the
Team, please PM the Moderator
or Channel Moderator of that
specific section. Please do NOT
PM the GM's or Admins unless
that section is missing a Channel
Moderator. You can see who the
Viewbies/Mods are for all the
sections here. If you want to
become part of the team then
YOU need to PM us, not your
friend. Please don't get anyone
to refer you. You need to PM us
yourself and let us know which
section you would like and what
you will be bringing to the Team.
Once again, make sure that you
do NOT have a warning against
you before applying!!
You MUST be an active member
of the section you're applying
to. For example: If you want to
be a Viewbie in Member's
Lounge, you must be a regular
visitor & poster of that section.
If you have a history of posting
interesting topics and making
meaningful posts, you will
definitely be considered for the
position. On the other hand, if
you have a history of making
irrelevant or useless posts, then
that will work against you.
Other Helpful
Information:
What can you get a warning
for?
Posting external links, pictures/
videos/articles from external
forums (that contain external
links). Advertising - other sites,
forums, etc. Bashing other
members, Dev Team Members,
Celebrities. Using inappropriate
language. There is ZERO tolerance
for profanity. Posting
inappropriate pictures, videos,
articles. Posting one-liners is
Spamming. Examples: "Thank
you", "Thanks for posting", "tfs",
"hey sup?", etc. One PM warning
will be given. If you fail to listen,
then Warning Level will be
increased. Repeatedly posting
"Where is today's update/video?"
topics. Instigating members,
making topics a war ground.
1. Arguing and fighting instead of
healthy discussions.
What can I do to be considered
for the position?
Getting permission from Mods
for creating Discussion/Topic/
Contest of the week.
Providing insightful comments
and arguments in discussion
topics. Paying more attention on
discussing rather than fighting/
arguing.
Trying to stop fights/
meaningless arguments between
members.
1. Reporting posts that need to be
closed/trashed to section Mods
or CM's.
Want to become a Coolbie/
Videobie?
If you update a show that comes
more than 2 times a week, then
you must be a regular updater
for at least one month. If you
have been writing updates for a
month or more, please PM the
Mod/Viewbie of that section and
speak with them about your
chances of becoming a Coolbie.
Same rule applies for Video
updates. For shows that come
more than twice a week, they
must be updated consistently for
at least a month for us to even
consider you.
DO NOT post updates/videos
without the consent of the
Channel Mods/Mods/Viewbies. If
the section already has an
updater, we will not need
another one unless the other one
is not consistent.
If you are providing written
updates or Video updates for
shows that come only 1-2 times
a week, then you need to provide
updates consistently for at least
TWO months.
Consistency - This is the key to
becoming a Coolbie/Videobie.
You MUST be a regular updater.
If you can only provide updates
for certain days in the week,
that's fine - as long as you are
consistently providing it on those
days.
Language - Please try to keep the
updates neat and clean - i.e.
without too many personal
comments. Also, try to put them
in simple English, rather than
slang or SMS language.
If you are updating Videos,
please ensure that the video
does NOT contain any link to
external sites/forums. This is
considered advertising and you
will end up getting a Warning
Level increase for that.
1. Similarly, please write your own
written updates. Do NOT copy
them from other forums/sites. If
you take them from sites like
ZeeTV.com, SetIndia.com, etc then
please give credit.
Want to be a Viewbie?
Do you consistently post
interesting topics?
Do you regularly report
instigating/inappropriate posts
to Mods/Viewbies?
1. Do you have ideas to make a
section more active/popular?
If the answer to above questions
was yes, then speak to your
Channel Moderator/Moderator/
Viewbie and let them know
you're interested.
***VERY IMPORTANT
POINT***
All of the above are just
GUIDELINES. They are ways you
can be a potential candidate.
They do NOT guarantee that
you will become a Coolbie/
Videobie/Viewbie.
Therefore, if you think you have
the capability, then please PM the
Channel Moderator/Moderator of
the section you are interested in.
If the section is missing a CM or
Mod, then you can PM a GM.
