Should Burn's Crew Members Receive "Salaries"?
  YES! But of course we're going to say yes... we're the damn crew!
  Only the crew members that actually get s**t done.
  Only the crew members who have CXO positions
  Not stable salaries, but maybe reward us with gold every one in a while as extra incentive
  Only Candice
  ******** no, I hate gold.

►SǓBFØRǓM FØCǓSES & GǓILD "CØRPØRATE" PØSITIØNS◄

WHAT'S THIS THREAD ALL ABOUT?
For the vast majority of the duration of this guild's existence, I've made some effort -- admittedly of greatly varying degrees -- to have Burn's crew members assigned certain subforums to focus on. In the past, crew members choose a "primary area of focus" & "secondary area of focus" -- hopefully both of which are self-explanitory.
This is the new version of the old "Areas-of-Focus". Below, for each subforum, is information on how many crew members are needed to focus on that subforum, what if any the "qualifications" to be assigned that subforum are, & what the prime responsibilities of the crew member(s) assigned the subforums should be. Lots of this was researched & typed up by the lovely Candice/Inylysia x, who's probably the best & most missed Crew member Burn's ever had!
I'd like everyone to volunteer for 2 or 3 subforums they'd like to "focus" on. By "focus" I mean pay extra special attention to. You of course can still "crew" in all the other subforums -- actually, I expect you to. But your "focus" subforums are your primary responsibilities.
Also, there can be more Crew members assigned to a subforum than the minimum number of Crew required for said subforum states.

As for the "CXO Titles"... A few months ago I decided Burn needed another large injection of Kayla-styled quirkiness, so I started replacing titles like "Captain" with CEO/President, etc. etc. The CXO titles are heavily inspired by important positions in any notable business corporation, but changed around so that they're applicable to Gaia guilds.
Not everybody has to volunteer for a CXO position -- as a matter of fact, there are only enough CXO titles for 5 or so people. Holding a CXO position means that you're going to have extra responsibilities & such, but just like in any sort of business franchise becoming the Chief Officer of something kind of equates climbing up the latter of importance.

The crew members should be experienced to handle all the scamming issues. The crew members assigned to this subforum are responsible for making sure that all contests hosted in the guild are conducted & completely in an appropriate & fair manner that doesn't violate any of the subforum or guild rules. (Further information will be provided shortly regarding how Crew should proceed with dealing with various problematic contests.)

Qualifications: Must be active, & must have been Crew Members for more than a few months & people I feel I can trust.
Main Responsibilities in Subforum: Ensure that in each quest thread, there must be a list of donators and the tracked progress of the owner - enforcing the rules of the subforum. In the near future I (elyzia) will begin giving gold to at least one of the people assigned to this subforum, & that gold MUST be donated to various members quests over time. It's also highly recommended that these Crew Members visit as many quest threads as they can & wish the questers luck.

Main Responsibilities in Subforum: Ensure that there’s no flaming of any sort, and no drama aroused since the issues posted here might be pretty sensitive issues. Appropriately manage extreme conflicts that arise that must be dealt with immediately, & always report through the proper channels posts that you feel violate Burn's "no drama" rule.

Summerized Description: The task of the Director would be simply to create graphics, or order graphics from Minishops in the Personalised Graphics forum for Burn. I trust your decisions. I almost certainly will not alter a THING you write on your graphics order form. The guild’s name needs to stand out on the graphic; it has to be legible and not hidden. I want the overall "feel" of the homepage to be colourful, welcoming, & fun, while simultaneously maintaining an underlining "grungy, edgy" feel. You can check out our banners in the Banners thread, or our current homepage of what banners we have. When you're ready, PM me the filled out order form for the graphics & of course the name of [& link to, if necessary] the graphic shop they're being ordered from. As I said before, the only reason I want you to PM it to me first is because the person placing the order is the person expected to pay, & of course I'm going to pay.

Qualifications: Must be able to create appropriate graphics for Burn, and also be aware of good graphics shops in the main forums.

Main Responsibilities: Create graphics, or order graphics from Minishops in the Personalised Graphics forum for Burn.

Now, Gaia allows guilds to have a brief summary of the guild underneath the guild’s name in the guild registry. The summary must not exceed 140 characters, and our current one would be: “Fusing Reality & Cyberspace. The Everything Guild... For Everyone, Everywhere." I’ll like you to come up with a few more summaries that can be used, that are interesting and intriguing, and will attract members.

Qualifications: Must be creative, and well-aware of what Burn consist - free speech, etc.

Main Responsibilities: Brainstorm for ideas to make Burn more attractive, to make Burn stand out and draw people in.

• CVO / Chief Visionary Officer

Main Responsibilities: Analyze the subforums and ensure that there is no drama or anything that violates the Gaia ToS.

Main Responsibilities: Updating of the Birthday thread in the main forum, and also doing straightforward and mundane stuff for Burn or elysia x.

• CNO / Chief Networking Officer

            I'm fine with Questing, Free Gold & Minishops! <3 I'm in Personalised Graphics forum every single day. c;

            Also, call me greedy or whatsoever, 8D I'll love helping out the CAO-to-be and CNO-to-be, because I'm at our main threads [Birthday & Introductions] everyday, and I'll love to go outside for affiliation.

I'd like to be permanently assigned to the Real Life Subforum so long as it remains B U R N's only Entertainment Subforum.

I'm not sure about a secondary, but I'm Interested in the Extended Discussion Subforum.

I actually like the sound of CAO. o.o

It should be noted for any CNO that the guild can only send out 500 join requests at a time; it may seem like a lot but they take awhile to clear.

I was wondering when this thread would appear xD

Of course it goes without saying that i will stay boss lady of the AT and my role as general counsel (if thats ok with you.)

I also find myself spending a fair amount of time in the ED forum...and i can keep chatterbox if you need me too.

And also Free Gold looks like it might be a good challenge ^_^

I'd be happy to take either, (or all, if it's needed of me,) Real Life, You, and/or Chatterbox.

Also, I know I left the position when I left the guild, but may I 're-apply' for the CCO position? Noli misses her graphics. xDD

Of course, I'd be happy with anything you think I need to be assigned to, so long as it benefits the guild.
PostPosted: Mon Nov 09, 2009 1:40 am


Well I don't have time to read the whole thing (about the CCO etc.) due to today being my B-Day and my needing to get a research paper done, but I would like to volunteer for Gaia Life, Chatterbox, and the You subforum in that precedence. I feel that once finals are over, I'll be active enough to moderate the gaia life and you subforums and my knowledge of gaia ToS would qualify me (IMO) for a role in CB.

I'd love to stay in charge of The Arts sub-forum. And as well as that, either the Welcome sub-forum or the Free Gold sub-forum. <3

As for CXO positions, I'd be happy to take on the CAO position or to help with the CVO position.

As for The Arts sub-forum... If I'm still in charge of it, I'd nominate Cuivie to help out, if he so wishes.

I'll gladly take whatever subforum you are willing to give me. I'm really not picky. I like RPGs, I like running contests, I like the arts, I like discussion threads, I like being friendly to newcomers, and I've been on Gaia for ages...I am pretty flexible because of all that. I'll take the not so popularly requested subforums or whatever. Just know I intend to make any subforum I am assigned to the best I can!
