Title: Seeking 2 moderators for jobs.WordPress.net Author: Siobhan Published: July 17, 2013 Last modified: December 27, 2022 --- [ ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/siobhan/) [Siobhan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/siobhan/) 3:35 pm _on_ July 17, 2013 Tags: [jobs.wordpress.net ( 2 )](https://make.wordpress.org/meta/tag/jobs-wordpress-net/) # Seeking 2 moderators for jobs.WordPress.net We’re looking for two moderators to take on [jobs.wordpress.net](http://jobs.wordpress.net). **What is jobs.wordpress.net?** jobs.wordpress.net is a site where people can list WordPress jobs. There is no charge for people to list jobs. Jobs include everything from one-off contracts to full- time positions. It was set up by Mark Ghosh (from WeblogToolsCollection) but he’s decided to take a step back from it so we’d like to find a couple of volunteers to take it over. **What does moderation involve?** Moderation will involve reviewing the job descriptions and posting them to the site. Jobs need to be moderated on a daily basis (during normal weekdays) by a member of the moderation team. We think that this will take about 30 minutes cumulatively per day, though once you become a moderation ninja no doubt you’ll whizz through them. We’ve drawn up a set up posting criteria that you’ll check jobs against. We’re also open to any ideas regarding the future direction of the website. It has the potential to be a great resource with the right people driving it forward. We are working on a redesign of the website so very soon it’ll be something that you’ll be proud to be caretaker of! **What skills do I need?** * an eye for detail * keen spam-fighting skills * the ability to make sure postings fit the guidelines * a nose for making improvements and creating a great experience **What’s in it for me?** I’d love to say power, glory, and wealth, but like all voluntary positions, that wouldn’t necessarily be true 🙂 . What you will get is the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped to maintain and grow an important WordPress community resource( and perhaps a little bit of glory). **Cool! How do I sign up?** Leave a message in the comments to let us know that you’re interested and we’ll get back to you.

Since BuddyPress is a pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/) or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party., anyone can feel free to post it on jobs.wordpress.net in the appropriate categoryCategory The 'category' taxonomy lets you group posts / content together that share a common bond. Categories are pre-defined and broad ranging.. For example, if I was looking for a developer to modify my company theme to work with BuddyPress, I’d put that in the “Theme Customization” category. The same would be true for any plugin, of course. Hopefully that helps! 30. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/776730d4c9623901b3d6e8170da05ea095688bc3857724a18ef767ed2ff35e8f? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 31.
