Well, I don't see a new mod listed, so I'm guessing that maybe it's lebeiw15 becoming a webpage editor... maybe?

good detective work..

lebeiw15 is indeed a new webpage editor.. and will be handling some of the pages on amiright...

Quoting:
Yep!  And now I get the pretty pink stars under my name, too!   ;)

Thanks right back. ;D

Quoting:

What happens if you don't like pink??

unfortunately, it was the first color I knew wasn't used when I tried making new stars for the web editor roles.. now that there's almost as many women as men as web editors, maybe I should change it..

How do you become a webpage editor on the site?
And you actually gain 5 pink stars? amazing. :o

you have to be willing to review the entries that get submitted to the site.. there's four editors to cover inthe80s (I get a lot of submissions on that site) and lebeiw15 is the first one for amiright (I think I'll need one or maybe two more for that site) and at some point I'll need a couple for inthe70s and inthe90s... I generally try and limit it to people who frequent the messageboards, and appear to be mature.. at some point the various pages will all state who the editor for them is...

basically, I used to review everything that went up on the site as it was entered. This is to prevent the "I RULE! 80z sux!" type entries, and to prevent duplicates, etc.. but as the site grew, the amount of entries and time to review them all did as well, and well.. there's a huge backlog of entries on all the sites right now..

once I can stop trying to read all the entries, and all the pages are handled by others, I can focus on making better software to run the site, and then maybe some new pages, etc.

And how much do you pay an hour? I don't have any webpage editing skills but I'm willing to give it a try. -howard-  :D

no resume needed.. I just let you wild on the data and let you figure it out as you go along.. generally I look for people whose names i recognize on the messageboard a lot (and aren't known troublemakers) (you qualify).. you don't need to know HTML or anything, it's all handled by some primative scripts I wrote ages ago..

it pays in glory and nothing else I'm afraid...  ;D I hesitate to call the site non-profit, but you may notice the only advertisements are for amazon, which don't really cover the costs of the site.. you could call the size negative-profit I suppose..
