Application Status: OPEN.
Teamliquid is renowned for having one of the most well-disciplined moderation systems on the internet. To an extent, many people criticize TL for having “unfair moderators” and “suppression of freedom of speech.” But those are usually the same people that make shitty posts that nobody wants to read. Now with the recent burst in growth of the TL population, the moderators chose to implement a baneling system, where experienced posters would be able to assist the beleaguered moderators in their cause. But it still seems that very shitty posts are still popping up and often are snowballing to the point that it becomes difficult to delete a terrible thread.
That is where we come in. The TL Volunteer Corps, or VC for short, will step in to right the wrongs of those whom choose to pollute our clean streets and our children with their foul words and lack of reading the commandments. We will not pursue paramilitary measures: instead, we will use the report button, our minds, and in some cases, our trolling skills, in order to help cleanse the heretic and the mutant from our happy horse bastion.
Now I am all too aware how people will abuse the system simply in order to have an excuse for continuing their bad posting habits. Indeed, if I opened membership up to just anybody, it wouldn’t be a very good organization, would it? To that end, in order to join, there are a few requirements that you must fulfill, and even then there will only be a limited amount of positions in order for me to be able to moderate their behavior in reasonable levels.
![[image loading]](http://perpetuallyperegrine.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/job-requirements.gif) Requirements:
Must have 1 year posting experience: which is to say, access to the report button.
Must not be a current moderator/baneling.
Must have at least 1000 posts, although leniency can be made for long-time lurkers with less than that.
Must be over the age of 16, unless they are named Pokebunny.
Must have fewer than half of their posts in the SC2 forum. I will count.
Bans do not disqualify you from enrollment, but I will take them into consideration, depending on the nature of the ban.
Must write a short paragraph/essay, posted IN THIS THREAD, explaining why they would be a good fit for the VC and what they will do to bring the wrath of the Moderator on His enemies.
![[image loading]](http://www.vcultimate.com/img/47b0bad844204/VC_card-final348.jpg) Benefits:
Enrollment in the TLVC will not give you health insurance nor will it give you income or any of the other benefits that come with employment. However, I will award a monthly award of $5 (deliverable by mail) to the person whom has managed to have the highest amount of threads closed due to his/her/it's efforts. To keep track of this, when making a report, VC members should record the time of the report made in a spreadsheet, the report message, and then post the link to the thread next to it. While it may be difficult to prove that participants are not cheating, auditing may or may not be performed. Members that are found to be cheating will be summarily dismissed from the VC and banned from future enrollment.
Members will also be allowed to put a picture of the insignia of the VC, designed by me in 5 minutes with Microsoft Paint, in their profile, and wear it proudly as a defender of TL.

So you want to promote vigilante justice and only allow those who meet your standards by not posting the majority of the time in the sc2 forums.
Either way it is a neat idea to help encourage people to get rid of spammers and trolls, but I cannot tell how serious you are. While amusing I could see the Moderators and TL staff getting annoyed at all of the superfluous reports.
If someone reports 100 posts a day and only 10 have action taken against the poster. A month down the road they have 3000-3100 reports and only 300-310 succesfull reports(but fuck yeah I got $5!). That can be a problem. I could see this plan of action making the banlings and moderators do more work then usual.

Thats the spirit! looking forward to monthly successful reports reports.

I can't tell whether this blog is serious.
I actually think it's a good idea, except there might be too many reports for the mods to read...

Obviously efficiency ratio would matter in the calculations. Score would probably be # of successful reports x ratio of reports or something like that. I haven't done the math yet.

I am wholly committed to mailing out a 5 dollar bill every month.

I have less than 1000 posts, have been here 1 and a half years and use the report button regularly. What's the point of the VC again?

Well that makes it a bit better.  I wasn't bashing it, just having fun with you. I like the idea because I already report people and why not have fun while doing it!

You would only truly understand how badly I want to answer your call if you knew how much I need that 5 dollars.
