1. Is this the first time you are applying to be a GK?

2. Are you connected to any other website as a GK type position or moderator?

3. Do you have a husband, wife, girlfriend, or boyfriend on MM?
What is their profile number if so?

4. Can you tell us a bit more of why you wish to help?

5. What is your favorite area of MM?  Forums, shout, Simply networking, etc.
What do you feel is your favorite or best contribution to MM so far?

6. Do you believe that you would be able to help out on a consistent basis even 3 hours a week?
(There is no specific requirement of a gate keepers time right now.  Just wondering how much time you might be able to help out with and if you will stick with it.  People are allowed to come and go with helping as they please.

7. Will you accept the standards of the site and the GK section?
(they are always in flux but at some point it is not a personal view what should be here but a line found by decision after debate.)

8. Do you have any other profiles on MM?
Please list all and every profile you have had on MM

9. Have you ever been removed from MM?

10. Have you ever been brigged?

11. Have you ever managed a model and/or have you ever controlled the profile of a model on MM?
What happened if so?

12. Please provide at least 3 references of other MM members that you have worked with. References should include the names and links to the profiles, not just the MM numbers.

As the selection process can take time, please be patient and don't expect immediate results.

Thanks!

Then you'll have an even better perspective when reviewing profiles.  Awesome!

Many of our gatekeepers are "two things".

We're certainly open to photographers applying, but we are a little top heavy with them at the moment, hence our actively seeking more llamas, mua's and stylists.
That said, we are also very interested in bringing on-board members from outside of North America to better reflect MM's growing international presence and membership.

At the moment, the GK team comprises predominantly of US members, which brings with it, in my opinion, a slight (and wholly unintentional) slant towards viewing things from a purely US perspective.
Given that, there is a strong desire amongst the Mods/Admins to actively seek and recruit non US members to join the existing MM team of volunteers (as evidenced by the recent addition of another Brit and an Aussie to the Mod team).

So yes, even though you are a photographer , you're redeemed by the fact that you are a Brit, so by all means apply .

What about a photographer based in Vancouver that's lived in Australia and New Zealand? I reckon i have a unique cultural perspective on things

What constitutes "trouble"? I've been brigged once or twice, meh, opinions and SB

Saying that, I spend quite a bit of time here playing nicely with others and helping when I can. Does being brigged once or twice automatically disqualify someone?

Being brigged once or twice does not necessarily disqualify someone.
