Dear SDN,

It's with saddness I must inform you I will be stepping down from my moderatorship in pre-allopathic and pre-osteopathic. Before I can sever ties, I have to find a replacement moderator for both forums. It's been difficult to juggle time between the forums and my real life obligations. With the upcoming residency season, Step II of boards, and audition rotations I simply do not have time to fulfill my site commitments.

As this is a "red" moderator position, compensation is provided for support to the forums. This stipend is negotiable based on your amount of hours committed weekly. Responsibilities include: moderation of posts, disciplinary action on disruptive users, steering for site policies and other miscellaneous tasks as asked by your superior moderators. Although rare, a limit in the ability of the "green" moderator staff has allowed me to directly fill my position instead of bringing a person through the ranks. This is also necessitated by the time in which I must leave the site and focus on my professional issues.

Requirements: Previous message board moderation experience strongly encouraged (field doesn't matter), transitioning into M1 of medical school or already in medical school, nondisruptive post history without disciplinary record, at least able to commit 1 year of service to SDN.

If you are interested in this position please leave a reply in thread and I will contact you via PM. Please do not spam my PM inbox with inquiries. They will be ignored and result in a warning or infraction. This action will disqualify you from the job.

It has been my pleasure to serve you for the past several years.

Sincerely,
Bacchus
 
If this is not an April Fool's joke, I would be interested.
 
I nominate Jalby.
 
I nominate RogueUnicorn.

I second this. Remember last year...


I also propose a nomination for apumic, whom we have not seen in awhile, but perhaps bringing him/her on would bring back the SDN Med School Spreadsheet....

I'd be interested in a moderator position now or in the future. I'm taking a year off to do research so I'll have 2 years at least prior to residency.

I appreciate the nomination, but there is a little thing where he says my posting history must be non-disruptive. Nowadays, I am shooting for more of a disruptive tone.

And I have a disciplinary record because I had a profile picture of Tupac (May he rest in peace... or not) that was to big and because I told people to ask PM and R residents questions because they have nothing to do. Apparently the moderator couldn't figure out that I wasn't a PM and R people but I was just helpfully pointing medical students to residents who would be happy to talk to them.
 
I would love the power though. My first act would be to ban all pre-medical students. Those people are horrible egotistical people who think they are already a doctor and should get the 40% attractiveness bump with actually being a doctor.
 
If this isn't an April fool's joke as well, I would definitely be interested. This forum has helped me out greatly and I would like to return some of that love.🙂
 
I, too, suspect this is an April fool's joke. But I'll be the fool and bite. I'm interested! Besides, I saw this on April 2nd. I think I'm ok.
 
Heh... Modship would be interesting, sure would make my lurking on here significantly more structured....
April fools though eh?
 
If this post isn't a joke (albeit a funny joke), I'd like some consideration. I've moderated a few forums and I already spend most of my day on SDN.

Also, please note. SDN moderators volunteer their time on top of their extremely busy schedules. There is no compensation, no fringe benefits.

I think I misread the post originally...I was volunteering. We were supposed to get money!? :laugh:

That's what I thought, as my impression was that this was more of a behind the scenes thing. I figured it wouldn't hurt to throw it out there though 😀. However, is there truth in you retiring soon? We'd miss you.
 
Hold up, only Bacchus thinks this is volunteer work. I still want my damn monies.:meanie:

The Republican field for President is weak. Romney is weak. Jalby for President at a brokered Republican Convention, cigars, the smoke filled room, the whole bit, and then Jalby walks out onto the stage to a standing ovation, the women go weak kneed and faint, and the men sweat, and smile, and swear allegiance to Jalby.

Hmm, I'd definitely be interested.

I have some experience moderating forums, and spend a lot (probably too much!) time on SDN.

DUDE, this IS BULL$***. You clearly said some time ago that one's appearance is upgraded during medical school. If I remember clearly, you said that the hot high school girls most likely added a few pounds during college and they will be very easy to get once you get into medical school. I'm too lazy to find the thread now, and you probably stopped posting on it after you made the first comment, but I know you stated this.

Com'on man at least maybe a 2 point bump on a scale of 10. I'm counting on marrying Alice Eve when I grow up.

Oh, there is a difference between pre-medical students and medical students. Medical students have to try really hard not to become doctors. Most pre-meds think they are the greatest **** that ever did **** because they think they will be going to medical school. Half of them can't get their scores, but they still want the credit.

Once you are in medical school you get about a 30% bump in attractiveness level.

But, that being said, in college, the more attractive people have better things to do than study. So what ends up happening is that the less attractive people get the better scores and end up getting into medical school. On average, people who get into medical school are 30% less attractive than the people who don't. So it is kind of a wash.

I, personally, have been a strong proponent of attractive people affirmative action. I don't think it is fair to the attractive people who live in such places as Hollywood, Scottsdale, and New York should be treated by ugly doctors. They really should be treated by their own people. It will give them role models and people that they can look up to.
 
I was assured AT MINIMUM a 65% attractiveness boost by my pre-medical advisor based on my application. This is an outrage.

Sorry for the misunderstanding Sir Jalby, I thought you were referring to medical students. I hope my apologies may be accepted. As always the dialogue above is quite insightful 🤣

Going from a one to a two is 100% increase. I would say your adviser undersold you....

Oh. I had always assumed attractiveness was measured on a logarithmic scale.
