Full Time Nairaland Forum Administrator/Moderator Wanted <no more>

The Nairaland Forum website in it's current form is designed to be managed by one full-time administrator/moderator, and for a long time that has been me.  The site has done consistently well and it now achieves a level of traffic that slightly exceeds my original (conservative) target.  So I think the time has come for me to move into new projects that will also grow to become as succesful as Nairaland.  Such as Naijarita News.

I want to offer a full-time position to a someone who has what it takes to be the administrator of this forum:
- Your work will start at 8am in the morning and end at 5pm on Weekdays and 2pm on Saturday.
- You will be paid based on your proven ability and at a competitive rate.  You will be paid well.
- You will be expected to edit or delete anyl posts that do not conform to our standard - correcting spelling, grammar and formatting errors, correcting bad titles, responding to innapripriate posts, providing support by email to members who need help, moving threads to their correct locations, cautioning members that are being disruptive, dishonest or aggressive, etc.
- You will not be expected to participate in the forum while you are on duty.  You will be expected to always work in the background.
- From time to time you will be assigned extra tasks which will be given priority over your daily duties and which you are expected to work on while you're on duty.
- You will not have to worry about electricity supply or Internet access during your tenure as administrator
- Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
- Other details will be communicated later; feel free to ask.

Best Regards,
Seun.

are about to quit or something?

yo Seun, i think it's going to be hard to find anyone to replace you. everybody has their own perfect idea of what nairaland should be and i believe it definitely conflicts with yours. you better stay put, man.

even if someone takes over, you'll definitely still  be involved (checking around to see if the new guy deserves his pay).

maybe you should program bots or something

Seun, you've done a good job and everybody who works this hard deserves a break. However, I suggest that when you do get a replacement, you keep him as an assistant for say 3 months, kind of grrom him. I am not a prophet of doom, however, if you do not take the neccessary precautionary measures this move could see your entire efforts fall apart. Some of us are in too deep on this site that it will be a shame to see that happen. Just my 2 cents. Take it easy now.

Even if seun hires somebody, i don't think the person will do what seun wants the person to do.

this is not making sence. what do you mean by looking for administrator. this is not a company or organisation that needs everyday updates like nigeriaworld.com, this is a forum website that can be created and manage automatically without nobody looking over it. if you will like to transfer the domain name to someone else that is another issue 'because i found out that this domain will expire in 03/08, so if you can renew it and then transfer that will be ok. and if you can renew it i can pay you $200 to transfer the domain to me or i can wait and back order it from godaddy.com.

Seun, i think you should hire someone you really are close with or really trust. Because i know even without experience that this job of yours is really tough  . .

GreatPeter would have been an excellent candidate or Vexxy but they both have other jobs and don't come here frequently as they used to.

It's a nice idea though . . that your other project - the naijarita one. cool stuff.

well, not if you have over 11,000 members and about 15 times of that in the numbers of posts.
that definitely requires regulation and time.

I am waiting for the job applications to start rolling in.  My email address is seun.osewa@gmail.com, though it's unlikely that someone who can't figure that out will be able to run this forum.

I'm not going to be leaving the forum.  I'm may even become more active on the forum - but as a contributor and not as a moderator or admin.  Instead of that I will spend my time composing articles for the new blog and promoting it with all my might.

One advantage of this job is that you'll learn a lot about what it takes to run a successful website, not just forum.  The admin will be a moderator and 'customer support person' and it will be a lot of fun.

Ok, goodguy, what are you skills, educational qualification, goals, ambitions? Where are you now and how do you get electricity and Internet access?

goodclown 

i guess he meant to say minors   Seun says, "noI mean minorities like whites or gay people".

send in your application and resume KC, id make sure you get a good recommendation, and fringe benefits 

no thanks i just got a job , and my mom would take away my computer if i was staying on the net for that long.

I only have one question here, you said ''women n minorities'' i'm a little confused, could ya explain please?

Seun, I am very much interested.
