How to get hired

a guest May 8th, 2015 288 Never
  1. How to get hired
  2.  
  3. Apr 09 21:21:27 <Arsarkinum>    I started about a month or so ago and even from then to now it's a big difference
  4. Apr 09 21:21:57 <Rhythmatic>    I wonder what the rate of attrition is for the average janitor.
  5. Apr 09 21:22:12 *       EdTremblant has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
  6. Apr 09 21:22:22 <Rhythmatic>    cause like, this isn't the first janitor recruitment drive
  7. Apr 09 21:22:35 <Rhythmatic>    were the others just smaller or did a lot of janitors leave over time.
  8. Apr 09 21:23:00 <Troid> both
  9. Apr 09 21:23:29 <Troid> well, not that the other drives were smaller, but it's likely less people were selected and actually signed in
  10. Apr 09 21:23:57 <Troid> the mods' backend for reviewing and rating janitor apps was vastly improved just before this drive so the process has been easier and faster
  11. Apr 09 21:24:03 <Rhythmatic>    don't the drives get tens of thousands of applications each time?
  12. Apr 09 21:24:03 <Kynokephalos>  What's the estimated volume of apps this time?  Another 10k?
  13. Apr 09 21:24:10 <Rhythmatic>    ahhh, that's neat.
  14. Apr 09 21:24:18 <Troid> Kynokephalos: I think moot said 3-5k
  15. Apr 09 21:24:24 <Kynokephalos>  Ah, nifty.
  16. Apr 09 21:24:28 <Rhythmatic>    oh that's actually smaller than last time, isn't it?
  17. Apr 09 21:24:32 <Troid> yeah
  18. Apr 09 21:24:40 <Kynokephalos>  >The few, the proud, the 4chan janitors ;_;7
  19. Apr 09 21:24:48 <Arsarkinum>    >He does it for free
  20. Apr 09 21:24:49 <Rhythmatic>    it's funny, this is actually the second or third time I applied.
  21. Apr 09 21:24:56 <BOOF>  http://i.imgur.com/UbadHc8.gif
  22. Apr 09 21:25:06 <Kynokephalos>  First time myself.
  23. Apr 09 21:25:19 <Rhythmatic>    lol wut BOOF
  24. Apr 09 21:25:23 <Kynokephalos>  Daaaaw.
  25. Apr 09 21:25:31 <Arsarkinum>    second time for me
  26. Apr 09 21:25:33 <Troid> I never applied ¬‿¬
  27. Apr 09 21:25:41 <Kynokephalos>  I had a buddy that had a raccoon, that thing was the shit before it went feral.
  28. Apr 09 21:25:47 <Arsarkinum>    I applied like minutes before the deadline
  29. Apr 09 21:25:50 <KusKus>        I applied but that's not now I got in
  30. Apr 09 21:26:01 <Troid> actually I did
  31. Apr 09 21:26:02 <Troid> I forgot
  32. Apr 09 21:26:07 <Troid> but same, KusKus
  33. Apr 09 21:26:12 <Arsarkinum>    How were you selected then?
  34. Apr 09 21:26:15 <Rhythmatic>    friends with staff or something?
  35. Apr 09 21:26:15 <Troid> MAGIC
  36. Apr 09 21:26:22 <Arsarkinum>    CONNECTIONS
  37. Apr 09 21:26:25 <KusKus>        More like earned trust
  38. Apr 09 21:26:27 <Troid> not friends with staff, no
  39. Apr 09 21:26:40 <Rhythmatic>    well-known tripfags?
  40. Apr 09 21:26:43 <Troid> like I said, MAGIC
  41. Apr 09 21:26:45 <KusKus>        No
  42. Apr 09 21:26:49 <Arsarkinum>    he made a post
  43. Apr 09 21:26:50 <Arsarkinum>    SO FUNNY
  44. Apr 09 21:26:51 <Rhythmatic>    I wanna knowwwww. >:(
  45. Apr 09 21:26:55 <Arsarkinum>    that the big M himself
  46. Apr 09 21:26:56 <KusKus>        I spent a lot of time in #4chan
  47. Apr 09 21:27:00 <Arsarkinum>    hired him on the spot
  48. Apr 09 21:27:01 <Rhythmatic>    ah
  49. Apr 09 21:27:09 <Kynokephalos>  Wowzers.
  50. Apr 09 21:27:14 <KusKus>        And a janitor befriended me and we talked a lot and he rec'd me
  51. Apr 09 21:27:24 <Kynokephalos>  That must have been one EBIN shitpost....
  52. Apr 09 21:27:32 <Axism> but kus
  53. Apr 09 21:27:38 <Axism> how did you know he was a janitor?
  54. Apr 09 21:27:42 <Rhythmatic>    Kynokephalos, wow, get out. :P
  55. Apr 09 21:27:45 <Arsarkinum>    you can reccommend people? Or is that not something you can do anymore
  56. Apr 09 21:27:50 <KusKus>        He told me but it took a long long time
  57. Apr 09 21:27:58 <KusKus>        I never guessed
  58. Apr 09 21:27:59 <Axism> who was he?
  59. Apr 09 21:28:05 <KusKus>        Sasami-san,
  60. Apr 09 21:28:12 <Axism> purge
  61. Apr 09 21:28:16 <Rhythmatic>    kek
  62. Apr 09 21:28:19 <Axism> /kickban sasami
  63. Apr 09 21:28:27 <VCR_Working>   i got recruited for /vp/
  64. Apr 09 21:28:35 <KusKus>         /jp/ janis don't get purged
  65. Apr 09 21:28:36 <VCR_Working>   a year after i submitted my application
  66. Apr 09 21:28:37 <yetsturdy>     Arsarkinum: I've been told it's not happening anymore.
  67. Apr 09 21:28:38 <VCR_Working>   lol...
  68. Apr 09 21:28:40 <KusKus>        They are rod till death
  69. Apr 09 21:28:46 <VCR_Working>   Kusanagi: zenith
  70. Apr 09 21:28:53 <KusKus>        Unless you go crazy
  71. Apr 09 21:29:11 <Arsarkinum>    yetsturdy, yeah I assumed so. Seems like it would defeat the point of applications
  72. Apr 09 21:29:17 <Troid> not really
  73. Apr 09 21:29:27 <Troid> moot used to pull janitors directly off boards on recommendation, or at least, he entertained the idea
  74. Apr 09 21:29:39 <Troid> I remember him asking /a/ once if there was anyone they thought would be a good janitor
  75. Apr 09 21:29:44 <Troid> years ago
  76. Apr 09 21:29:47 <KusKus>        He still does that
  77. Apr 09 21:30:04 <KusKus>        There was a person added recently for /biz/ I believe who was pulled right off the board
  78. Apr 09 21:30:10 <Arsarkinum>    six thousand replies of >me
  79. Apr 09 21:30:24 <Troid> yeah, at least he didn't ask /biz/ who their favorite tripfag was lol
  80. Apr 09 21:30:28 <Troid> that's sort of what happened on /a/
  81. Apr 09 21:30:45 <Troid> anyway, my point is that janitor applications have never been a scared inviolable rite
  82. Apr 09 21:30:54 <Troid> although maybe they are now, who knows
  83. Apr 09 21:31:07 <KusKus>        My guess is with the way #4chan changed that it might be the only way in now
  84. Apr 09 21:31:13 <Arsarkinum>    I just kinda assumed 4chan is so big now
  85. Apr 09 21:31:15 <KusKus>        Unless on rec from a mod
  86. Apr 09 21:31:29 <Arsarkinum>    that it would be more trouble then it's worth trying to pull someone off a large board
  87. Apr 09 21:31:32 <KusKus>        Or janitor who thinks they are a good fit for the board
  88. Apr 09 21:32:32 <Troid> oh actually the janitor pulled from /biz/ doesn't janitor /biz/
  89. Apr 09 21:32:46 <KusKus>        Well I've seen janitors come and go alrady in my time. I can tell you doing this is all about taking it easy even when things get really fucked up and you might not even like what goes on but you stick through it. This job is pretty thankless tbh.
  90. Apr 09 21:33:14 <KusKus>        You can enjoy it for the small things that happen though
  91. Apr 09 21:34:16 <KusKus>        Most of the time users are fast to jump on you for things and they can escalate quickly
  92. Apr 09 21:34:23 <Rhythmatic>    I've only been here for 24 hours, so maybe my opinion is naive, but I think the job is very rewarding. The effects of our actions are very tangible, so the reward is seeing our various boards' communities improving. It's an instantaneous improvement, and I really like that. I feel like my actions matter.
  93. Apr 09 21:34:36 <KusKus>        It's the nature of the site though
  94. Apr 09 21:35:28 <Troid> Rhythmatic: it's different on a small board
  95. Apr 09 21:35:30 <Arsarkinum>    I enjoy being able to get some of the ERPers off of /vg/ BEFORE the damage is done
  96. Apr 09 21:35:59 <Rhythmatic>    hmm, good point. /e/ is slow and pretty well behaved.
  97. Apr 09 21:36:05 <KusKus>        When you're on the board you love it's different honestly Troid has a point
  98. Apr 09 21:36:27 <kami`> its good that you guys are enthusiastic, but the real test is seeing how well you deal with time and waning interest/motivation
  99. Apr 09 21:36:34 <Kynokephalos>  Yeah, I'm glad I'm not on /v/ or something; it's you folks that do the heavy lifting...I just have to make sure there are less than seven tulpa threads :(
  100. Apr 09 21:36:42 <KusKus>        And non stop ban evading
  101. Apr 09 21:36:47 <Arsarkinum>    ban evading
  102. Apr 09 21:36:48 <Arsarkinum>    oh my god
  103. Apr 09 21:36:58 <Troid> kami's right. apparently the last drive brought us up to almost 60 active in the channel, but that number fell for sure
  104. Apr 09 21:37:02 <Arsarkinum>    It's so annoying
  105. Apr 09 21:37:02 <Rhythmatic>    Kynokephalos: you must be /x/
  106. Apr 09 21:37:08 <Kynokephalos>  Nailed it.
  107. Apr 09 21:37:28 <Troid> to be honest most of the janitor's who've been dropped more or less dropped themselves out, just stopped coming to IRC and eventually became totally inactive
  108. Apr 09 21:37:31 <Arsarkinum>    it's so annoying seeing the same trips in a general purposefully stirring shit up
  109. Apr 09 21:37:41 <Rhythmatic>    I was subbed to /r/tulpas on reddit for like a month before I realized it was a bit too weird for me. haven't been to /x/ in like 3 years.
  110. Apr 09 21:37:43 <Troid> so if you can spend time here in #janiteam and take it easy, you all should be fine.
  111. Apr 09 21:37:44 <Arsarkinum>    night after night
  112. Apr 09 21:37:45 <WhatWinterLeft>        You'll be seeing them for months and months probably
  113. Apr 09 21:38:00 <Arsarkinum>    yeah, I accept that they're not going anywhere unfortunately
  114. Apr 09 21:38:06 <Arsarkinum>    just have to curb the damage they can deal
  115. Apr 09 21:39:03 <KusKus>        I don't browse reddit
  116. Apr 09 21:39:11 <KusKus>        the /a/non in me won't let it happen
