Hi guys (and gals!)

We have a position open here at Steamgamers, you can apply for it here: http://www.steamgamers.com/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=36

I will explain a bit about the position.

This position was originally held by me, but I was crap so yeah! But this revamped position will be a plus for the community.


This person is responsible for managing all SteamGamers 3rd Party applications, for example, twitter, facebook, and any other applications or site we use. This person will be in charge of future advertising, sponsorships, and general marketing of SteamGamers. The marketing administrator also helps GarfieldH decide on decisions to improve the community, upgrades, and anything that falls under the category, this person works closely with the PO's/BD's to make sure the image and reputation of SteamGamers is upheld to it's highest. This user is also in charge of the EC's.


Manage the EC's, discuss ideas, and server events, etc.
Manage all 3rd party sites/applications.
Manage all advertising.
Recommend upgrades, and general marketing aspects for the community.
Research what the community like/not
Give ideas to the BD's to discuss.
Assist GarfieldH on Community marketing.
Upkeep the image of SG, and help expand.


Short story, this person will practically be my right hand man/girl.

Anyone can who is mem+ can apply for this position. Including the BD's, AO's, etc.

You will need to be able to have time for SteamGamers, if you don't have time, please don't apply. Please be honest in your applications.

As you know, I'm trying to cut down on ranks, but I feel the MA is needed back, due to the amount of large 3rd party app followings we have, and I don't have time to keep everything up to date, and don't want to give the BD's more to do (because they do so much!) This MA rank will be extremely different to the last rank I held.

First.

Good to see the rank come back into use, especially with all this new connectivity stuff we've got going around. Hopefully this should release the pressure on some of your workload. It's a big role to fill though, and I'm not sure many are going to have enough time to devote to it.

I thought that was your fiance's job. :V (insert more lame jokes here)

Jokes aside, cool. I wonder who'd be good at it. I think that if you request something publicly like if you needed some quick PHP done or something, people would probably do it. I don't know if anyone is able to give out a lot of time. If someone is able to, congrats, hope you have fun and expand the community.

If I only had the time. RL is unfortunately way too demanding of me right now. It's good to see this position being brought back and I feel the community really needs it. I don't think I should apply due to my time/schedule constraints, however if you need any help that I am able to give let me know.

* Manage the EC's, discuss ideas, and server events, etc.
I know Bob and Pres good, and i don't have any trouble with them.
* Manage all 3rd party sites/applications.

* Manage all advertising.
I love making texts and images for this sort of stuff. I think general knowledge of the adobe package could be very handy.
* Recommend upgrades, and general marketing aspects for the community.
That's a requirement that complies to the BD's trusting you, because giving bad advice is even worse than abusing admin or any other servercrime.
* Research what the community like/not
There are enough polls around, but maybe a general marketing section on the forum should be thought of in vB4.
* Give ideas to the BD's to discuss.
Adding/Removing servers, ...
* Assist GarfieldH on Community marketing.
Working with the penis pig? Looks fun xD
* Upkeep the image of SG, and help expand.
I have good knowledge of photoshop and etc...

Maybe i'll apply for this job, who won't apply, won't be the MA...

Think you're misunderstanding the position...you won't have anything to do with the servers nor admins nor anything of the sort.

You'll be the person putting SG on third party apps, Facebook, Twitter, the works. As well as maintaining those sites by updating the info...Suggestions are most likely towards new third party sites that could help spread the word of SG....so to speak.

You're pretty much SG's spokesperson....if I am not mistaken...

You're correct, AO's/BD's will still manage all the servers. MA just does the 3rd party site stuff, advertising, updating it, etc. Which is why you need to talk to the EC's, so you can update the sites about any events they're planning to gain more interest. =]

My current schedule prevents me from doing anything beyond stalking the forums, browsing my social networks once every other day (if not slightly more or less frequent), and checking my email in the morning and in the evening.

An MA needs only to stay in communication with Garfield, update all social networks connected to the community (thus coordinating with ECs), and maintain any other external connections, correct? If so, would it be possible for me to do all of that considering my schedule? Just curious to know of how big the workload is.

If it means anything, I have a fair bit of experience in public affairs handling. Anyways, I'll apply. Hopefully my strikes aren't the only consideration against me :P

put my name down. once this week is over i will no longer be doing 12hour shifts giving me the time to put in to this position, also im a regular user of FB and can make a Twitter account, anything else thats required i shall get.
i personally think that Ngo will be a good aplicant for this postition as he only works on a saturday (correct me if im wrong) and seems to have alot of time on his hands.

Excuse me?
This is not directed at you, but a lot of the community.. And this is nothing against Ngo.. He's cool, and I'm thankful that he has donated so much..

But .. How could you ever question ANY decisions made by anyone if you sell them the rank?

Just asking..
I know, I know .. Garf "bought" SG, but that is a mere detail of paperwork and not anything about access or control rights..

because theyll spend more money..

Profit for everyone else?!..

but really unfortunately money does come into play for a lot of the decision made here and in life in general talent isnt always the driving factor..

NGO tho has no life besides SG which seems to be coming hand in hand with this position so hed be perfect :biggrin:

Ngo
20 Sep 2010, 06:00pm
what is this shit.
)
Look guys, I have not and will never use my financial status (donations) towards SG to get myself a promotion.

I like being an SA, and would stay SA as long as possible, but i feel that i could do more for the community than just donating money. I don't want Garf to use my donators status as a means of picking me over someone else.

In my opinion, I think i would be great for the MA position mainly due to me already helping SG by advertising with my raffles/rewards program and quite possibly future things. But I also think their are way more qualified people than myself.

just saying, i don't want people thinking that I only donate just so i can move up in this community, that's far from the truth, I donate because i like the community.
