We're looking for two kinds of volunteer.</p>
<h3>Forum moderators</h3>
<p dir="auto">Help look after the whole forum, from <a href="/category/2/the-den">The Den</a> and <a href="/category/6/signings-rumours">Signings &amp; Rumours</a> to <a href="/category/7/wa-rugby-league">WA Rugby League</a> and <a href="/category/8/the-third-half">The Third Half</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>welcome new members and point them to the right place</li>
<li>keep threads on track and step in if things get heated</li>
<li>deal with flagged posts and approve new members' first posts</li>
</ul>
<h3>Match-day hosts</h3>
<p dir="auto">From 2027, every Bears game needs someone running its threads. A match-day host, posting in <a href="/category/5/match-day">Match Day</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>starts the game thread before kick-off and pins it</li>
<li>keeps the chat flowing (and the referee rants within reason)</li>
<li>kicks off the post-match thread at full time</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">A couple of hosts is ideal so nobody has to do every game.</p>
<h3>What it takes</h3>
<p dir="auto">A few minutes a week, more on game day if you like. You'll get the tools to edit, move, close and pin threads, plus a private chat with the rest of the forum team.</p>
<h3>Put your hand up</h3>
<p dir="auto">Start a chat with <a href="/user/bearsadmin">BearsAdmin</a> (the chat button on the profile) and tell us which role you'd like. Only the forum team sees it.</p>
<p dir="auto"><em>Go Bears.</em> <img src="https://bearcountry.com.au/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f43b.png?v=f6fba589ab5" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--bear" style="height:1.4em;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":bear:" alt="🐻" /></p>
