    Dear sir, what is that strange device you are holding in your hand? Would that be a radio or a new form of PS4?

    I sent in an application. Whoever actually gets promoted, I'm sure they're going to be a fantastic addition to the team. : D

    Yeah we realize it's an extremely niche position but that doesn't stop us from asking. That particular application is open at all times to all members so if your time frees up please do apply!

    If I may, I have some questions:
    How can I know whether I'm qualified or not? Like what kind of things are you guys looking for in staff members? Is there a minimum number of time per day/week potential staff should spend on the site? Minimum post number or amount of time since joining the site?
    Also it said that news reporters could right articles and editorials, could someone apply for a reporter position if they only wanted to write articles and editorials? I get all my KH news from this site, so I probably wouldn't be good at actually reporting news, but I'd like to do editorials and I think the site would benefit from having some non-news articles, especially during times when there's not a whole lot of news to report.

    I'm certain that even if I did give this a try I wouldn't get in( just signing up and all), but out of curiosity, how long would you say someone should be accustomed with the site before they'd be seriously considered for a position with the staff members?

    We don't want to discourage anyone from applying, even if they're new to this site. We have hired people that were only recently registered because their applications and interviews really impressed us, so there is no real baseline or rule of thumb, I don't think. We will definitely have concerns if you are newly registered, don't have a lot of posts, etc., just because we want to be sure you're committed to the site and won't suddenly disappear one day. Again, you're welcome to reply even if that is your case, but it will of course be a factor that we consider.
    This is exactly our train of thought. You're welcome to apply for News Reporter and specify these things. The idea of having editorials on the site is relatively new (or, well, not new, but we're finally implementing it, heh), but part of the idea was always to allow regular users (non-staff members) to submit what they've written and have it featured on the site, just as a normal news post would be. So if you've got a cool idea for an editorial but don't want to commit to the staff team, you can still have your writing featured!

    There will be more details on the editorial thing in the future -- how to participate, that kind of thing. (:

    I haven't. All I've gotten as of yet is a message saying my app was received (yet I didn't get a notification for it, oddly enough).

    Not yet. We're still reviewing applications and waiting to see if any more trickle in. You guys should start to hear about the next step probably around the end of this week-ish.

    Read...?
    We use your applications to keep the sacrificial fire going. I thought this was clear.
