All I'd like to know is if ROBLOX will ever start hiring moderators again. For someone like me, who can't do much physically for a job, this is an important question for me.

To put it bluntly, I need the job. I've been told by several mods to keep checking the jobs page, but in three years of checking, I've never once seen a position open.

Still waiting for my question to eventually be answered.

Not many questions can be answered in such little time, that's why they have to go as fast as they can.
Have you tried asking info@roblox.com? They might be able to give you some useful information.
Personally I'd love to do exactly what you're describing, but I think moderation at ROBLOX is some kind of side-job that employees would be offered (I may be wrong).

The thread I made even garnered a good amount of support, though it was shoved down the page a lot: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=140720777

@Ysko: Didn't know you posted when I made my post, sorry.

Yeah, I've sent info@roblox.com a message, but they just told me to keep checking the Jobs page.

I'm not sure we have an answer. We don't hire often, and when we do it is a competitive process. We don't know when the next time will be, however if we're accepting resumes it will be on the jobs page.

Thank you, Gordon. That may be the answered I was really hoping I wouldn't get, but at least it's an answer, so I thank you for giving me that much.

Following up on this (I just saw the thread): Gordon is correct; we have rarely hired moderators from outside, at least recently. Sometimes, we staff from within (e.g. we move someone over from Customer Service). If we do want to hire from outside, an open position will be posted on our Careers page (corp.roblox.com/careers)... you never know, so keep your eyes open.

That said, we do look for broader community and moderation experience in considering applicants for our team. Meaning if ROBLOX is the only game where you're active, that's really not enough. We need to see much more than just "I've been on ROBLOX for years." Familiarity with ROBLOX is good, but the flipside of that is that people with strong ROBLOX community "roots" may have conflicts of interest (friends, or even antagonists) which could interfere with their ability to be objective. This is an important aspect of why we no longer have volunteer moderators -- it's not just an "old enough" thing, it's also the need for a level of professionalism and objectivity. Good moderators combine a number of abilities: customer service capability, sound judgment, excellent communication skills, and more. If you have those -- and can demonstrate them based on experience -- then you stand a good chance of being considered for an open position.

Thanks Chief. I do have experience as a moderator for other websites, the two that I can refer to being a friend's forum site, and I used to be a moderator an old website that my mother used to run, before she closed it.

I have never really seen a moderator position be advertised on the Jobs page.
I think too many people who are not qualified will apply, like regular young players of ROBLOX.
