Because the invention of a 30-hour day is still some way off according to our sources at the CIA, it appears that our existing staff simply aren't going to have the time to run the site, sleep occasionally, keep girlfriends and wives from throwing things at us, scour all the gaming websites for news, write it all up AND post it. :p
So what we need is some community staff - in this case some guys (and girls!) who regularly scour sites like Gamespot, IGN, Gamesradar and so on. We'd like them to decide if there's anything there likely to be of interest to our members, and post the gist of the information up for debate. Example 1 (http://www.mature-gamers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=151#post151) Example 2 (http://www.mature-gamers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=144#post144)
What we can offer you:
a '@mature-gamers.com' email address.
Access to the 'community staff' private forum.
the chance to have a say in discussions regarding the running of the forum before they're put to the general membership.
What we expect from you:
A reasonable standard of written english - preferably with an interest in games or gaming in general, as it helps if you enjoy what you're talking about.
We don't expect you to post 2-3 articles every day, but we do want you contribute at least a couple of posts every 2-3 days.
We DO NOT want someone who will just go to sites and copy/paste others' articles - that's stealing, and we don't want content thieves.
Participation in the forums in general! :)
Finally, please DON'T apply if you're just going to do this for a week and then lose interest - it's frustrating and doesn't look good for the community if we've got staff changing every week because people like the benefits but don't want the responsibilites.
