Just a question: when will we know who have been chosen to be moderators?

We'll respond here once applications are closed and that we've finalized the roster. After that we'll message everyone and give everyone chosen a chance. If anyone ends up not being a good fit and/or we feel we need to fill additional holes in the roster, we'll go through again and pick more people, or hold another round of recruitment.

Usually we'll only go through old apps again though if its really close to when we closed apps. If its been a month or more then we'll definitely hold another recruitment drive.

You'll also probably start to see more pink names roaming the site!

 Well it's about time to harvest the salt thread and make a cake consisting of 100% dutch drops.

Waste not, want not. 

Quote from Otovent >>

 I just hope there will be lasagne a.k.a. spaghetti flavoured cake

Good luck to all applicants!

Who could resist the temptation of such power!

I'm kinda excited about this, it's the first time we have open mod applications since my arrival. I'll certainly keep my eyes on this thread and try to answer your questions if I can. Don't be too afraid to apply if you are interested, you don't need to be particularly talented or experienced to get selected (I know this because I got picked). As I see it, the most important things (in addition to not having a 5-page long warning history) are that you have time and are willing to help (unless you are applying to FC/Arena mod, in that case you should also be an active user of those Forums). And I guess Flux forgot to mention this: there will be cake.

DISCLAIMER: Neither yours truly nor anyone else affiliated with the site can be held responsible if the existence of the aforementioned cake turns out to be a lie.

Americas should be sleeping by now, it's Europe's turn to shine! I personally hope we'll get at least a couple of new EU mods so don't let me down. Apply! There are definitely some good applications already but it's not too late yet. I'll answer some questions that you were too afraid to ask:

There are already some good applicants posting this thread, I probably shouldn't apply since they will get selected over me, right?

Last time Flux&co picked 5 new mods (myself included), and those were all for global moderation group so this time we might see even more new faces since Arena and FC are also looking for helping hands. The quality of applicants probably affects the final numbers how many we'll take but I'd expect at least 3 for Global, 1-2 for Arena and 1-3 for FC. (DISCLAIMER: These numbers are just my view of the situation and they may turn out to be horribly wrong). But anyway, you totally should apply if you are interested.

If I get selected will Hearthpwn/Curse own my soul for eternity?

Yes, and your children's and grandchilden's for the next four generations. No, if you start to feel like this wasn't your thing after all or if you don't have as much time for modding as you thought you would, you can resign whenever you want. This DOES NOT mean that you should apply if you already know you won't have time or interest for this.

What is this Slack thing you're talking about?

Slack is the communications thingie Curse sites use. It's quite simple to use because even I learned it quickly (or at least most of it). You can try to find more information about Slack and its features from its official site: https://slack.com/features. We'll be using our HearthPwn names there instead of your IRL names if that's something you wanted to know (I totally didn't ask this in the 'you are accepted'-PM I got a year ago).

How much do I get paid for this? What about performance related bonuses? Holiday bonus for most users banned?

In case you missed the second sentence of this whole thread, this is volunteer work. You won't get paid at all. Those who are only interested about money, please do not apply, there won't be any.

Is the cake a lie?

I can't confirm or deny the claims that the cake would be a lie. You should probably apply and find out yourself...

How long will it estimated that before you choose your candidates?

I apply for global moderator. I have a very long and active history on this site, loads of achievements and a good track record of both helping other users and reporting threads that should be locked, helping existing moderator to keep the site tidy.

The only issue would be the web-based chat, but I will join as soon as I figure out how to enter it.

Thanks!

I was feeling bad because I don't have time for modding (work and my own projects are killing me) but boy, makes me so happy that a lot of cool people applied.

This forum deserves this love in special the Fan Creations one, that place is like a shelter from salty Hearthstone players comments. It's rare to find a forum without bad comments or people hating each other and I really appreciate that calm.
