Janus the Fox Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 A small blurb about the declass Spoiler This team member position is about reading and Declassing past and present report, Admod and Policy threads. you're tasked either one of 3 tasked at any point. You may wish to PM members who turn up in the thread, you may wish to Declass a thread, this is simply put changing the names and links with tags updating the index thread doing so. Larger threads and chat threads are challenges to overcome. Finally you may wish to proof the Declassed thread, this it to look at the thread again for any mistakes to correct, these then will be marked as moved to Admod Archive and logged as Recently Declassed. Furthermore you may wish to participate in Admods Only in any thread that is marked for Declass discussion or staff wide discussions or make use of team wide PM discussions. At the end of every 3 months, you may wish to participate in a DT Quarterly Report. From experience as a DT Member for near 2 years, the role is most useful to have access to a Desktop or Laptop PC for larger and more technical declassifications, or any reliable access to the internet should do. Due to a few bugs in the system, I have a few tricks to get around some issues. It is not as demanding as an Admod position that requires daily input. The Declass Team requires at least a monthly input and a recommended weekly input even if it’s just to tackle the backlog. I do like this frequency to change though any DT can make daily input if they wish. Best of luck to anybody running and looks forward to training a new one Link to post Share on other sites
Custard Cream Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Is there more information on the position and responsibilities available anywhere? I am interested, but don't feel I know quite enough about it. Link to post Share on other sites

Ace_liv Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 What does declass do? Link to post Share on other sites

I soooo understand what you mean! But the post and thread I linked genuinely do give a good overview. The current DT can walk you through exactly how to do each step and you’d have access to the backroom if elected. (So you’d be able to read more to fill in some blanks.) Declass isn’t daunting. It’s not as much responsibility as other roles. Being methodical is great for declass and means you would probably enjoy the work. 44 minutes ago, Christmace_liv said: What does declass do?

Cheshire-Cat Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 2 hours ago, Christmace_liv said: What does declass do? Essentially we take threads from the admods area (discussions, reports etc.) and remove any identifiable information so they can be placed on the public forum. It was decided to do this to make the workings of admods more transparent. The completed product can be seen in the admod archives section of site comments. Link to post Share on other sites
Ace_liv Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I’ll run. I won’t be able to be active as much because I have school but I hope that doesn’t matter Link to post Share on other sites

I won’t be able to be active as much because I have school but I hope that doesn’t matter Declass doesn't have a daily requirement so it's not as bad as mods. I will admit that between work and college I haven't been as active as I'd like recently but then when I have a day off I can spend hours declassing to make up for it.

Janus the Fox Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 There's already a 30 thread proofing practice for anybody with a bit of spare time. Link to post Share on other sites
Custard Cream Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I have to state for the record that I don't have a great deal of spare time either - I work long hours and have frequent evening and weekend commitments. Link to post Share on other sites
Custard Cream Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Apologies all, having assessed my life, working hours, current projects and personal commitments, I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that I am unable to commit to a role of this nature at present, so I must regretfully withdraw from this election to allow someone with more flexibility to take up the role. Hopefully, should circumstances change in the future I will be able to stand for another role. Link to post Share on other sites
