Volunteers: Trouble Checkers

If you would like to be added to our database of potential trouble checkers (ie. the volunteers who help the category staffers check their categories for dead links, rule-breaking, inactivity, etc.), please read the following requirements and then fill out the form below.

NOTE: We are currently on the lookout for permanent trouble checkers for all categories! Even if taken on as a permanent trouble checker now, you could still become a category staffer in the future! If anything, it's a good way of getting some experience of being a staffer so don't let that put you off.

When it comes to trouble-checking, you must have the ability to:

• Be reliable :: If you are taken on as a permanent trouble-checker, your staffer may need a trouble check on a regular basis, for example once a month. They may also ask for trouble checks at fairly short notice. Please don't apply if you think you may be absent from the internet for lengthy periods of time.
• Follow instructions :: You will need to be able to follow a strict set of guidelines when trouble-checking. These guidelines have been compiled by experienced staff members and you must adhere to them.
• Pay attention to detail :: You must check every fanlisting thoroughly to ensure that no rules are being broken.
• Be objective :: You cannot neglect to report a fanlisting as 'in trouble' just because it belongs to someone you know. You must report all fanlistings that break our rules.
• Cooperate :: If selected as a permanent trouble checker, you will report to your category staffer. You need to be able to communicate and cooperate with your staffer and work as a team!
