All PT positions have a duration of 2 years. If anyone steps down in that time, a new election will be held and the replacement will have a new term of 2 years. The office that is presently in need of an officer is the Answering Team and Wiki Coordinator, described as:Responsibilities: The primary responsibility of this position will be to coordinate responses to requests for advice and information that are sent to the PT and the AVEN info account via email or PM, either by forwarding to the volunteer answering team or responding themselves; the Answering Team and Wiki Coordinator will be responsible for reviewing responses and ensuring that all emails are answered in a timely manner. This position is well suited to someone capable of giving nonjudgmental advice and support.In addition, the Answering Team and Wiki Coordinator will also be expected to help coordinate with volunteers to improve the AVEN wiki; possible duties include creating new pages, identifying pages that need to be improved, removing spam and malicious or inappropriate edits; and communicating with other people involved on the AVEN wiki .Requirements: People applying for this position should have good writing and time management skills.

Eligibility rules include: a person must have been a member for at least 6 months, and have at least 100 posts that are not in the Just For Fun or Welcome Area forums. You also cannot run with an active, current, warning. The eligibility criteria for PT are precisely the same as that for an Admod. A bio is required by voting time.

Guest Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Come on Guys! The pink party squad is looking for more fabulousness Good luck to everyone who decides to run for this Link to post Share on other sites
Topi Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 This seems like a great position! If I hadn't run for DT last elections, I would try this one now. Good luck to everyone that is thinking of running! Don't hesitate, just do it! Link to post Share on other sites
Haze. Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 This looks like fun. I really want to have an admod-type job eventually. But I honestly know that I don't have the time right now, so I have to restrain from volunteering myself for anything until... probably mid to late 2019. I'll have more AVEN experience by then, too! Anyway, good luck to whomever is nominated! Link to post Share on other sites
kelico Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Who had this position previously? If we have questions about it, it'd be great to know. : ) I want to say @Aqua-ace, but I'm not totally sure. [I'm vaguely thinking about this position, but I'm not 100% that I'll have enough time to devote to it.] Link to post Share on other sites

Snao Cone Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I've been contributing to the Answering Team for a few months now, so I know how important this role is. If you're task-oriented, empathetic, and have good written communication skills, that's a great combination for this role. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Just ask a PT member or skip the red tape and use your inbox powers to ask the PT and an admin. *I miss shiny buttons sometimes* Link to post Share on other sites

kelico Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Go Aqua, go!! I was really thinking hard about running, but IRL has piled things up, so that I don't think this would be the right time for me. I'd like to probably join the Q&A volunteers some time soon though and help out that way. : ) Good luck, Aqua!! You've been great on the team! Link to post Share on other sites
