@Maverick,
a doubt, is this again like moderators and therefore existing Editors too are required to apply for this??

Yes, a fresh application is necessary to be considered for the selection. The survey for moderators and editors are different. Editor survey mainly concentrates on editor capabilities, decision making, reading preferences, sense of humor, language proficiency etc.

P.S. Existing editors will retire on 1st - 15th Sep. (I will update this on main post).
You deserve all support and thanks for taking this bold decision. It's perfectly in tune with the professional requirements of a steadily growing site!
Now fresh team will work ,hope it will get more success in future also.
Can a member apply for moderator as well as editor? If no, a member has to choose?

As I have seen in the past there are many who hold both posts. This must be purely depending upon time available with a member who can discharge both his/her duties as moderator and editor.

Previously It was but now Admin can say only.

Yes, if your time permits to do both the jobs.

Thank you Sir. If I work as editor and moderator both, I shall be contributing less articles and forum posts of my own.
May admin needs to appoint editors which may devote more time on the site as I have seen in the past that editors take much time for articles to approve so may be this time we have some editors which could be more efficient. :blink:

It was not the editors who took more time but the admin to allot credits. They did excellent job and devoted their precious time for maintaining cleanliness of the site.

This time we have improved our software to seek more feedback from reviews and will give more freedom to editors to say their opinion about credits given too. New editors will enjoy the world class software for reviewing articles with less effort.
May be but sometimes some of my articles took 2~3 days to get approved by an editor. :blink:

I am not talking about the cash credits which almost tool 15 days for an article to get it. :blink:
It's really a nice move from admin's side to select moderators and editors through two different selection methods. Thank you.
I have applied, when can I expect the quiz?


Glad to know that you have applied to!! Its mentioned in the first post, by 12th September, the quiz will be sent!

That's great! Wish you all the very best!
This is only for the senior members? B)
Unless you write some articles and know the feedback of editors, you can't get hold of the procedure happen here. Hence we asked for senior members to join, infact we will give preference to those who wrote some quality articles (a good writer/reader cannot become a good editor).
