Social Media Moderators Needed

Go To

Good day tropers!

We are looking for knowledgeable volunteers to become the moderators of our Facebook and Twitter pages. All moderators will be able to post content to any of these sites through a 3rd party site that allows cross-posting.

Social Media Moderators will also get their own mod slack channel to talk to each other, myself and the other mods. They will also get their names added to /KnowTheStaff in their own section and get a special corresponding badge once my badge update is pushed up soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! grin

CRITERIA TO BE A MOD:

  • Must not have any active suspensions
  • Must be highly active on T Vtropes
  • Account must be older than a year

CURRENT VOLUNTEERS: (2-3 per site preferred)

CURRENT SITES:

  • Twitter (10k followers): Plakythebirb, Orbiting
  • Facebook (104k followers): Orbiting, wingedcatgirl
  • Reddit: (don’t have access, run by someone else)
NEW SITES:
  • Tumblr: Plakythebirb, movienut14, Cutegirl920fire
  • Tiktok: Plakythebirb (scripts)
  • Instagram: siegfried1337

DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • As a social media moderator you will be representing TV Tropes and as such you must remain respectful and socially conscious at all times and never post anything offensive. No politics, only Tropes and related content.
  • Make frequent posts (At least 1 post ever other day, everyday preferred)
  • Reply to comments (Do not feed the trolls, never respond angry or aggressively)
  • Comment on other popular accounts with funny or encouraging posts.
  • Properly use hashtags on every post if your site uses them.

I think staying with Twitter is fine for now. If Twitter actually shuts down then we can use an alternative.

Let’s not get into the politics behind any of these sites or assume anything. It’s also no big deal if one of them shuts down, then we just focus more on the ones we have left. [tup]

I was talking with the mods and it looks like we’ll create you all your own separate slack channel so you can discuss content and duties and that myself and the other mods will have access to in case you need to talk to any of us.

Shall I add you to the OP? Just an FYI, we have a lot of volunteers who want to do Twitter and Tumblr so you may not get to specifically work on those if all the content / commenting is covered. I’m looking for people who are willing to do work on more than one and help out where it’s needed.

Given that this is going to be operating through a central third-party thing, we could probably also handle Facebook.

Okay great! Added you guys to the OP.

Now looks like we just need someone to agree to help out with tiktok and instagram and we're good to go.

Oh, one last thing about the Tumblr thing.

I've seen a number of posts that reference some of the various pages on this site. Maybe reblogging them could be something of a boost once our own blog is up.

I mean, a good bulk of them are just tropes applying to characters/ships. And trust me, just searching TV Tropes on Tumblr gives you a good chunk of content.

Oh, I found out something last night.

So it turns out TV Tropes already has a Tumblr! It's just been abandoned since... [looks at date] ...er, 2012.

Granted, I don't know if that's actually the case or not but I thought I'd throw that out there.

So, should that Tumblr page be resurrected, or we move to another Tumblr page?

I don't know who used to run the tumblr so I don't think we can gain access to it. It's better to create another official tumblr.

The discord server has been running for a week but I am wondering if/when it'll be added as an icon on the site like the other social media outlets are.

Macron, what’s the link that would be used?

And I was going to add all of them up at the same time whenever we get all the necessary volunteers.

So should I start up the Tumblr page? (I checked to see if tvtropes-official was available and it is.)

Oh, and I should probably ask alnair20aug93 and Plakythebirb what their Tumblr handles are so I can add them (if they're on the site in the first place, that is).

[up][up] Worth noting that whoever gets Instagram will potentially get Threads by default (if and when TVT wants to use Threads), as it runs from the Instagram profile.

Depends on whether it's being managed directly or via another application, though.

Question: since the Discord and Tumblr are live, should Know the Staff be updated accordingly?

We might just abandon tiktok since no one’s volunteering. If no one else responds by the end of this week I’ll just scrap tiktok and get everything started for everyone [tup]

I was wondering how TV Tropes could be applied to TikTok. Doesn't seem like a working combination in my eyes.

Someone else mentioned it previously and its the biggest one out there right now so figured someone else would help with it. Plaky said they would help make scripts for it.
