Site Status - 8 - Now Hiring (Updated)
13 years ago
SURPRISE!!!
Well, believe it or not, we're still here! We've been here this whole time but secretly plotting in the shadows... Us little ones can hide in good places, like under bushes and under beds. Naw... Some major changes in the site owners life slowed things down a lot soon after what was supposed to be the sites grand opening. Hopefully all is at a more stable place and we can move on with our ideas. We did have a lot of discoveries happen where it was good that incompatibilities were found that will prevent unneeded drama flareups in the future, this opens up opportunities for admin, mods, and staff positions, so if you wanted to be involved before, now is an even better time to catch up to me and slip in an interview.
Right now there is something to do for anyone who wants to get involved. The following is a crude list of positions needing to be filled, in the order of the sites hierarchy.
NOTE: More important than any other positions right now we need to form a good Ops Team and Admin Team, so please check those positions out first and if you can fit into one and / or the other please email us at cubaffinity[at]gmail.com as soon as possible.
cubAffinity User Hierarchy
administrative staff:
11 Slots Available - 1 Taken
Direct extensions of the owner of the site. Governing body of the community, capable of handling most if not all duties. Put forth to hand most if not all duties as the site is just getting started, but consult, advise, yet follow the plan and structures set out as the owner decides and then last of all delegate responsibilities to there subordinates.
administrative support:
6 Slots Available - 2 Taken
Much like Admin staff but most likely answer to and operate under an administrative staff member assigned to a particular section of the site or focused duty. These individuals would most likely be able to handle a more general scope of duties but to a lesser degree and with a smaller time commitment than administrative staff. Also to some degree they would supervise mod staff and under more directly that the administrative staff team.
*operations:
Ops team handles software and hardware specific concerns. Our ops team has administrative staff level access to the site, but this does not necessarily mean that they would share the same duty structure. Currently we have one member who is almost purely hardware operations, but provides light advice concerning design and operations, and light software support, and we have one member who provides Drupal specific ops support and sits on administrative staff.
5 Slots Available - 1 Taken
(Available slots = 2 slots Boonex (Dolphin 7 - 8) focused and, 2 slots PHP and other site specific with possible Boonex or other similar software experience, and 1 slot mostly design focused with experience / or ability to learn skills necessary to implement changes as needed.)
NOTE: If you do not have any upfront experience with Boonex but feel that with your experience with other packages or just you having looked at it and thought, "hey I could bite into that and do something awesome", I'll consider allowing you a trial run if you can put some time into it.
helper:
This user role will be removed soon. It is just the general cover all role for anyone helping me with the site right now as I assign duties to the newly created user structure.
modstaff:
6 Slots Available - 0 Taken
Moderators often help out in a general sense especially so far as the site being new right now, but have a lesser commitment to duty than admin or admin support, as well as being individuals who answer to admin and admin support. As the site becomes more refined and staff roles more defined, moderators will most likely oversee very focused parts of the site, such as one or few groups or watching over and keeping on track a forum page and the threads there in, or tending to albums under one or more categories.
*deputy:
6 Slot Available - 0 Taken
Deputies are officers specifically given more authority to police for and "arrest" users who are violating site policy or otherwise utilizing the site maliciously or abusing other members.
They are not judge, jury, and executioner and are only meant to be the front line reaction to things going on that shouldn't. All instances where a deputy ends up needing to take harsh action, where it escalates to "arrest" / "suspend" the matters will be brought forth to modstaff, admin support, or administrative to determine more clearly what needs to be done. Deputies can not "ban" per se, unless you want to consider temporary suspension a temp "ban", but they will be encouraged to take down information where those above them can make a fair decision concerning the necessity for their intervention.
For more about this see... suspect, probation, locked, and troll users below.
security:
Non specific number of slots open - none taken
Much like deputies but not able to "arrest" / "suspend", they are encouraged to patrol and report and may be asked to help in more indepth investigations to support a deputies case and thereby may also be called to "observe" / "witness" deputy - member interactions.
helpstaff:
Non specific number of slots open - 5 possible takens
Generally speaking those given some extra access's in order that they can better assist modstaff.
