I hope that this site will soon see even more progress towards this very important goal that we have taken on and that our Brothers (Props to YOU Big Head you know who you are if you see this) and Sisters in jail for Cannabis Causes will be FREED!
 
Hi,

I would be interested in assisting the 420 magazine with either News Articles or Moderating. I have done both at a few sites across the web. Give me a jingle when your available.

I've visited a few and find I am in agreement with you Ol hippy. I don't even remember how I found this site just serfing one day and ran across the mag. I guess. There is so much going on here as far as promoting quality crops that any other site would have to develope one heckuva brain trust to match the knowledge available here.

I was shocked to find all the info on leds here ! You never know whats going on here and then all of a sudden new stuff starts comming at you !! I'm over loaded with info and now I'll have to sort it out ! I really would love to try one of those leds for my new grow ! Less heat is great this time of year!! I was on another site for a while and it got pretty crappy , Roseman was there and he pmd me about this site and I found a home !! :peace:
 
I have in the past posted articles I've found in Montana newspapers online, and with some guidance from Soniq420 I've managed to figure out how to credit them properly to their source and writer.
I'll continue to do so as time allows, but I'm not in a position to consider a position as a news hawk
not that anyone asked.... :smokin:
 
Thanks for the positive energy everyone and thanks for the offer BusaBudz!

Please stick around for a while and inquire in our next election, as we need to have some posting history prior to joining our team.

Anyone else been thinking about joining the 420 Magazine team?

It's time to get involved and do something for our cause folks, now is your chance.

Who's next?
 
Realistically, what do you see as the minimum daily & weekly time required for a site moderator here? Understanding that such time would be in addition to one's regular activities at the site.
 
Regular visits are the most important part of the commitment ;)

Good communication; letting the team know when you can't be around or a few days is appreciated.

For Moderating, an hour a day at least 5-6 days a week on average, is probably the minimum time making it worthwhile to train.

For Newshawking 3 days a week, an hour at a time would be excellent. The idea here is to share the load in making sure we have the most current news being updated regularly. It's a team thing where you'd be sharing the load.

We prefer members start in a non-moderator staff position such as Newshawk, Grow Support, or Hospitality Team and only take on moderation after they've been through the policies for a while.

Great question :surf:

That probably means a DQ for me then, huh?

That, or... Well, you didn't actually come right out and state that an applicant has to be certifiably-sane 100% of the time, lol.
 
I think the site needs some additional door greeters (Hospitality Team) and soon too. I haven't seen THE WEED in over a week and the new members in INTRODUCE YOURSELF need to be greeted with LINKs to the most helpful info.

I wish I could add more helpful LINKs in my signature for the newbies here.

YES! There are so many "must-reads" at this site that it can be a challenge deciding exactly how much to include. But certainly a tiny amount more than there is space for.

Now I understand that you cannot give unlimited .SIG space for all 55,000 members. But is there a way to increase the size-limit for the staff members here? And maybe for our more recognized people, such as Roseman, PitViper, and a few others? To keep people from getting upset, you could limit it to, I don't know, say... the top ten highest REPped people or something? That way it wouldn't be a case of you (staff) picking your favorites to give something to, but rather it would be an award to the site's favorites.

I don't know if that's something that can easily be done, though.

Ive been banned myself.....I guess I dont qualify lol. I try to greet but I have alot of growing going on as well as my threads...Rob and Soniq know I would do it in a second if I didnt have the current things going on..
 
hey guys,

I haven't been here for a full year yet as a poster but I have been a long time lurker. As I'm sure you've noticed I'm also here A lot and I wouldn't mind picking up a few responsibilities around here if you'd like. what ever I can do to help the site just let me know.
