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!
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)
- 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.
- Contact other pages for shoutouts and/or collaborations.

I think staying with Twitter is fine for now. If Twitter actually shuts down then we can use an alternative.
Welcome To Ideals' WorldLet’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.
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.

Now Monitoring Query Bugs and Query WishlistGiven that this is going to be operating through a central third-party thing, we could probably also handle Facebook.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.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.

Now Monitoring Query Bugs and Query WishlistOh, 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.

"We are all so afraid, we are all so alone, we all so need from the outside the assurance of our own worthiness to exist."
That sounds good, TextPostTropes is probably a good one to watch
.
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.
"We are all so afraid, we are all so alone, we all so need from the outside the assurance of our own worthiness to exist."So, should that Tumblr page be resurrected, or we move to another Tumblr page?
ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔|I DO COMMISSIONS|ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔I 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's notesMacron, 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.
Now Monitoring Query Bugs and Query WishlistJust one more for Instagram and tiktok.

Now Monitoring Query Bugs and Query WishlistSo 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).

"We are all so afraid, we are all so alone, we all so need from the outside the assurance of our own worthiness to exist."Got the Tumblr up
! Presently finding some posts to queue up.
Question: since the Discord and Tumblr are live, should Know the Staff be updated accordingly?
Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallWe 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
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.
