Introducing a New Program [Veteran Members]

I'm pleased to introduce a new program for officially recognizing the dedicated and upstanding members of HGRPG: the Veteran Member designation.


What is a Veteran Member?

A Veteran Member is someone who's gone above and beyond to make HGRPG a successful site and a wonderful community.

What does being a Veteran Member entail? What are the perks?

Veteran Members will be recognized for all the hard work they do for the site and will get a nifty custom rank. It is my hope that Veteran Members will serve as unofficial mentors for new members, helping them learn the ropes and get acquainted with HGRPG.

How is this different from regular Staff?

Staff are hired based on a future need, i.e., to do work for us in the future as a librarian, moderator, or tutor. Veteran Members are recognized based on past experience, i.e., what you've already accomplished.

How do I become a Veteran Member?

Apply! Your application must include the following items:

1. Length of time of the site (minimum two years)

2. A packet of proof of your work. We do not have strict guidelines for this packet, but it should show many hours of dedication in a specific vein. It might be hours logged updating the wiki, or developing useful public spreadsheets for the Games, or consistently greeting and voluntarily mentoring newbies. This packet should be in the form of links, or where links will not work, screenshots. Please submit the packet to Aya via PM. A rotating interdisciplinary committee of staff members will review applications once per month, and a few of the applicants will be selected.

That's it! Feel free to ask any questions as a response to this thread or hunt me down on Slack, I'd be more than happy to answer them. In general, all the applications will be reviewed once per month. The first batch of applications will be discussed sooner than that, but there's no hard deadline - you can send me an application at any point.
