Community Development Team Applications

[x339]

Hey everyone, it's time for you guys to apply for your spot on the Sythe.org Community Development Team! These applications are open to anyone, staff or non-staff, so everyone put one in. We are looking for users who are creative, experimental, persistent, and willing to participate.

What is the Community Development Team?

The community development team is tasked with strengthening the community, while also using it for grass-roots advertising. What does this mean? It means that we are going to grow the community while also advertising it through our members.

Qualities we are looking for:

• Creativity: We are looking for people who are going to be constantly thinking up new, and sometimes crazy ideas. No more reservations. We need people who can think outside the box, and outside of what we already do on Sythe.
  
  
• Willingness: If someone has a crazy idea, it's your job as a fellow team member to figure out how to make it work. If you have doubts about the plan, don't try and shoot it down, work with them and figure out the best way to get it done. You have to be open to doing things.
  
  
• Not afraid of failure: If there is the chance that something could fail horribly and completely blow up in your face, do it anyways. If this group is to succeed in it's mission, we have to try everything and anything to get it done.
  
  
• Participation: If we're working on projects within the group, you must participate. The more we work together, the better the results; it is your duty to participate in each project to help accomplish the goal.
  

How to apply:

If you would like to join us in our mission, please fill out the following application form and post it on this thread. You will be contacted promptly if you're application is accepted.

Why do you want to join the team?: I want to expand the community, make it more active, as I mainly stay in the community, so I want it to be more active. That is my passion of it. I want to help develop the community to be a larger part of the forum.
Do you consider yourself a creative person?: I am creative, but I'm not like "Idea here! Thirteen of them!" No, in all honesty, I am like someone pitches out an idea, I debate with them on how it could be approved. Maybe throw an idea here or there.
What can you bring to the team?: I can bring some good ideas/help. I can also bring more activity into projects/tournaments if we have any.
How often are you on Sythe every week?: Once a day, unless the special occasion preventing me. Maybe 2 hours a day minimum, jumping on and off.

[rue]

Why do you want to join the team?: I am actively posting on the forums, and I genuinely enjoy our community here at Sythe. I've applied once in the past, and after 400 or so posts feel as though I have created relationships with others on the forums.

Do you consider yourself a creative person?: Yes, I'm currently working on an undergraduates in the arts. Specifically for become a college age pastor, I've worked at the University of Washington campus by advertising black light, d.j. sponsored dance parties for The City Church. And I'm currently working on an intern cook off for our interns class of 2012-2013.

[mage3158]

Why do you want to join the team?:
Because I love sythe and the community.

Do you consider yourself a creative person?:
I have to be, being a musician and what all;p

What can you bring to the team?:
I have much expereince in this community-esque area, as I am a sectional mod and "professional" on the Anarchy Online forums. (An MMO)

How often are you on Sythe every week?:
Almost every day, from around 10 mins to a few hours.

Do you have anything to add?:
Nope.

Here you go!

 

Why do you want to join the team?:

I have been a Sythe user for the past three years, however I have yet to actually contribute something back to the site other than financial donations.
Being a member of this team would allow me to see some of the inner workings on Sythe, where ideas are thrashed about and born, and ultimately implemented. I believe this is a fantastic opportunity for me to give something back to the Sythe community.

Do you consider yourself a creative person?:

I believe myself to be a highly creative person. My role (IRL) involves caring for the acutely mentally ill. It is in environments such as these that not only do you sometimes have to be quite off the wall, innovative and abstract, but also be willing to try out new ideas and approaches to get the desired result. I'm also a firm believer that even if something is working well, there is no reason why it can not be improved upon. I'm always looking at how things can be improved, even if that involves starting over again from scratch. Everything has to be fit for purpose.

What can you bring to the team?:

The skills which I can bring to the team are firstly, open mindedness. I am always willing to read into ideas in detail, no matter how obscure or abstract. I have excellent communication skills, and I am always willing to hear everyone's perspective and view. As a final year Degree student, my analytical skills, including critical analysis, are very good. My individual contributions to the team will be well thought out, and also practical. I believe overall that my most valued attribute is always listening. You have to respect the opinions of your colleagues, feedback to them, and vise versa.

How often are you on Sythe every week?:

I am on daily, alongside doing my degree work. I would say that I can offer the team upwards of 10 hours per week (2 hours a day as an average, let's say)

Do you have anything to add?:

I believe that I know a little bit of everything related to Sythe. Although I have no specialist area as some users do, I take a general interest in all aspects of the site. I believe that, if selected, my skills and values would be a strong addition to the team, increasing it's overall effectiveness.

Thanks for your time!

 

Why do you want to join the team?:
After stopping market activities, I have become active in sections such as off topic, personal support and RS2 general; doing so has made me realise what a diverse community Sythe has to offer. I think the encouragement the Community Development Team can offer will be extremely beneficial to the site, and I'd love to be a part of it.

Do you consider yourself a creative person?:
My creativeness definitely lies in my ideas and imagination. While I'm not the best at designing things or naming things - I can come up with practical solutions for different situations. Spending a year doing a business management course has definitely enhanced this.

What can you bring to the team?:
Endless ideas, whether they're practical or just plain crazy, I will never run dry of new ideas. Brainstorming for any given topic is something I can easily do. I am enthusiastic about things which are important to me, and helping Sythe's community is definitely something I would be passionate about. I can look at both sides of a situation, and think about what would ultimately be the 'happy medium' - something I think would be useful for introducing new ideas to the site.

I'm easy to talk to, full of ideas and willing to learn.

How often are you on Sythe every week?:
I'm on Sythe minimum 2 hours day, although usually more. Weekends are easy for me, and I'm online most of the time then.

Do you have anything to add?:
Keep doing what you're doing, and I hope to see some new ideas introduced soon. Good luck everyone applying.

 

So it's just an advertising team?

 

[rue]

So it's just an advertising team?

Not necessarily, if you re-read the initial sentence the goal of this team is. To promote growth in the forums, one of which ways includes encouraging Sythe's members to promote sponsored events orchestrated by the Community Development Team and generally spread the word about what Sythe has to offer. EDIT: That's my definition, hope it's accurate enough as a tl;dr for this fellow!

 

Why do you want to join the team?:

I know Sythe can be so much more. It is an incredibally successful site, and it's focused soley around Runescape. Imagine what it could be if it had community involvement and intrest of even two or three more games.

Do you consider yourself a creative person?:

Yes, I have quite a few ideas up my sleeve, but the suggestion forums isn't really the right place for all of them as it often times just gets shut down and neglected. This seems like the perfect place to turn outrageous, yet creative ideas into solutions to bring activity to the forums.

What can you bring to the team?:

I have an immense knowledge of various games, plus I know for the most part how Sythe "works".

How often are you on Sythe every week?:

Too much.

Do you have anything to add?:

Glad to see people taking initiative, interested in the sites future if / when RS dies out.

 

[-Bat]

Why do you want to join the team?:

Because I thrive on proving myself over and over again. I also like the site and the people on it and would like to see it keep growing over time

Do you consider yourself a creative person?:

Extremely I not only try to see that good, but bad in each suggestion made and I give points to others. I also have had alot of ideas.

What can you bring to the team?:

So asking what can I bring eh? I worked hours on a suggestion of advertising just for the beginning! I was going to continue putting in hours each week keeping up with it if staff wanted. I have already proven I am ready for the workload and can do what is needed.

You guys haven't even seen anything but the beginning of what I can do and I had already gotten many compliments for that alone. I can bring what a team of innovative thinkers need. I am what a team like this needs ^_^

How often are you on Sythe every week?:

Every single day lol

Do you have anything to add?:

I've wanted my chance to prove myself and if you give me this one I will not let you down


also wanted to edit for any of the people that help pick I am on irc constantly and have been on it and sythe since 09...I'm not a new person
