Seeking New Moderators for rec.radio.amateur.moderated and rec.radio.info

Changes followed by "|".

The moderation teams of the rec.radio.amateur.moderated and
rec.radio.info newsgroups on Usenet are seeking additional qualified
people to serve as moderators.  Moderation is assisted by automation and
web-based moderation software.  Duties generally involve reading up to a
few articles a day, and pushing buttons to approve or reject them.  This
modest workload is shared by a collaborative team.

Desired qualifications include:

 - Internet access, including Usenet, web, and e-mail.

 - Ability to follow the moderated newsgroups and check e-mail at least
   once daily (vacations and leaves of absence accommodated).

 - A sincere interest in radio.

 - Support of moderated newsgroups in principle.

 - A non-anonymous identity, including a real last name or callsign, and
   a routable e-mail address.

   (Our principal concern in vetting volunteers is that we as a               |
    moderation team know who they are.  Public moderation actions are         |
    taken as a team, from a team account.  We find that this generally        |
    keeps things civil and on-topic, avoiding personal criticism and          |
    attacks.  A list of the current moderation team may be found at:          |

   )                                                                          |

 - A verifiable record of good conduct on the newsgroups going back at
   least 6 months.

   (We will also consider a similar record of good conduct on QRZ, eHam,
    Reddit, or other forums.)
 
 - Willingness  to  be  a  "team player"  who  follows  moderation  team
   consensus.
