It's been a while since we actively recruited staff, 2017(!) and well before the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world. But LCPDFR.com hasn't stopped growing in this time and is bigger than ever. That's why today we're announcing some changes to the team to allow us to scale more and to invite you to get involved.
Community Team Structure
Our Community Team has previously operated with a large scope and our moderators have been expected to moderate the entire site. This means anything from member disagreements, to credits concerns on a file, to approving files to someone spreading inaccurate information on LSPDFR support forums.
As LCPDFR.com has undergone a massive expansion in terms of community, mod and support growth; this has led to increased burden on our Management & Community teams including people working on particular parts of the website they may not be entirely familiar with or may not interest them. We also have not recruited to replace moderators which have left us in the previous years, further increasing this burden.
One of the changes we're making today, along with recruiting new Community Team members, is to make two new more specific moderation roles.
Support Moderator
This position is for those who are active within our support forums and are willing to help keep them tidy. This includes making sure posts are made in the correct support sub forum, preventing users from hijacking posts (posting their own problem in someone else's thread), preventing necro posts (posting in a thread that has not had activity for a significant amount of time), posting solutions to common problems, seeking more information from users seeking support (asking for logs, etc.), and marking threads as "solved" when a solution is found.
Support moderators will be expected to have general knowledge of common LSPDFR, RPH, and GTA V issues and their solutions and have basic troubleshooting skills.
File Moderator
This position is for those who are active within the downloads section and are familiar with modding GTA V. You do not necessarily need to know how to code or model, but have skills in determining when files are ripped or stolen. Duties include reviewing files that are held for manual approval and ensuring they follow our File Guidelines, investigating mods that may be stolen and referring these to Community Moderators, and keeping the downloads section of the site tidy (making sure files are posted in the correct category, all files have proper credits, etc.).
Applications & Getting Involved
Do the new roles above appeal to you? We're excited to build the Community Team further and would like to invite anyone who is interested to fill out a short form, expressing their interest. We need applicants to be at least 18 years old, able to use Discord & Slack for training and communication. Whilst we don't have strict activity guidelines, we do expect moderators to keep up with reports and internal discussions.
If you think that you'd like to get involved with LCPDFR.com by volunteering some of your free time to moderating our community, please submit an application to us using the following link:
