As you all should know, our current Director of Moderators, Vivianna Sedai, has been selected by the Board to be our next Amyrlin. Her training and transition to that role will be beginning shortly. This means, of course, that she can no longer be our Director of Moderators. I'd like to say thanks to Viv for her exceptionally hard work in this demanding job for the past two years. 
Overview
This position is an Executive position and as such will work closely with the Keeper. Because of the nature of this position, this Director will also work closely with the Director of Membership to enact bans in chat or on the forums. This Director will handle all issues that pop up with our chat ops and the appropriate forum mods.
Requirements
--must be a Senior Member with one year good standing
--must be willing and able to spend at least 15 hours a week handling Departmental issues. This is an estimate. Some weeks are less, some are more, depending on what's happening in the forums.
--must have chat operator experience or willingness to learn, and must have phpBB forum moderator experience or willingness to learn. You must have experience with at least one of these.
--must be extremely organized
--must be able to employ tact and diplomacy, even with people you don't necessarily like or respect
--must be a self-starter
Duties
--handle hiring, replacing, and training new chat ops and forum mods
--will be second in line for all issues that pop up in community moderation (first in line is op/mod, second is Director, third is Keeper).
--will make decisions as to appropriateness of consequences for actions that occur in forums or in chat (with advisement from Director of Membership, Keeper, and Amyrlin) in a timely manner
--will enact temporary bans to forums (particularly CE) and chat
--will keep records of all issues brought to light
--will keep track of all operators, particularly with regards to time availability
--ensure that our chat rooms have at least one op in them at all times (this ties in with the above point)
--serve as sounding board for Amyrlin and Keeper as an Executive
--work with other Directors, particularly the Director of Community Outreach, for forum and chat events, and particularly the Director of Membership for coordination of actions that pass from Department of Moderators to Membership
--will handle any complaints about how issues have been handled by ops/mods
--quarterly reports to Amyrlin and Keeper
