The EVE Forum Moderator Team is now accepting applications for Moderators. The EVE Forum Moderator Team is known as Communications Relay Commission and is a part of the EVE Volunteer Program known as Interstellar Services Department. We monitor the EVE Message Boards to make sure the Forum Rules are followed, while interacting with the community.
Requirements:
- Good communication skills including good written skills.
- Active participation in the discussions on the EVE Message Boards.
- A minimum of 3 months playing EVE.
- No forum bans issued, a low amount of warnings may be accepted.
- Experience using IRC is prefered but not a requirement. We ask you
to include your experience with IRC somewhere in the application.
- Access to an email client
- 18 years of age is a minimum, older is a merit.
You do not have to have to be an expert in English, but you will have to know enough to communicate with it. You also have to be able to read and understand it enough to moderate effectively.
A well written application is a big plus! We look at other things as well, but good application has a better chance. Please do not apply with trial accounts - these applications will not be processed.
You can apply by clicking the ôInterstellar Svcs Deptö button under ôEVE INSIDERö in the menu to your left. If you have already submitted an application please update it. Make sure that you've checked the ôEVE Forum Mod (CRC)ö choice under question 5 (What area are you interested in volunteering for?).
You can read more about the EVE Volunteer Program (ISD) and EVE Forum Moderator Team (CRC) in the FAQ, Player Guide and on our website.
Our systems rely on you having the correct email in your account details. If you have an old email there that you don't use we will not be able to contact you. Make sure your email is updated under account management! Also, if you have already applied and you haven't heard from us, check if your email spam filter may have blocked our email to you (especially with web-based email systems such as hotmail, yahoo etc.). We make an effort to ensure that every application receives a reply.
Looking forward to your applications!

Originally by: Kilo Paskaa So you¦re handing out banhammers? Kewl.
Its not about the banning. In fact, this is something that no one likes to do. Only lead moderators may issue them, and then only after following a strict procedure.
Moderating the forums is about ensuring the forum remains an enjoyable experience for all members of the EVE-Community. And in doing so, we have a good time.

The following fields have too long a input, please go back and shorten the text in:

.... and after clicking back everything was lost.

Please, go easy on teh hamsters! 
Seriously, its a good idea to copy your answers into notepad or something - might save you a bit of grief. I've updated the top post to remind people of this.

I would like to be in the CRC (or STAR for that matter), but I already spend too much time on the forums as it is. Well, maybe I'll apply anyway and see if I can put my time to better use 
Edited with a few questions.
I know that if you are in ISD you have to communicate through a dedicated character. What if you don't have any character slots left on your account? Or are you given a separate limited account for ISD purposes?
Also, are you allowed to be in more than one department at a time (in my case STAR and CRC), or would that just be craziness? Would you technically need two different ISD characters?
And as someone asked previously, what is the minimum involvement you are looking for. I will certainly be as active as possible (if the amount of time I spend currently is any indication, it will be a lot) but now and then things happen.. I'm sure you've covered this before with people.
to answer your questions:
1) you get a separate volunteer account if you are a member of ISD. This is just for your volunteer character and is in no way related to your player account.
2) You're only allowed to be in one department at a time - its not possible to volunteer for everything at the same time. But if you apply for CRC, we'd like you to be sure of it. You can also apply to the other ISD divisions at the same time, their recruitment processes are separate from ours.
3) Most vols spend a minimum of one to two hours a day reviewing the forums, sometimes more time on the weekends or during patch days. If you already read the forums a lot, then its a bonus, since you can moderate whilst browsing the forums.

Originally by: Eilie I have some questions... 
1) Can Mods see who the other characters on someone's account are?
2) If I became a Mod, could I insta-lock and warn anyone who makes a thread about a PvE server or similar whiney troll threads?
3) If I became a Mod, could I post "You are too stupid to play EVE. Go back to WoW!" in suicide gank threads using my Mod account?
4) If I became a Mod, would the devs drink beer with me?
To answer your questions:
1) Any knowledge regarding the alt characters of players is kept secret as all ISD volunteers are bound by a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). This information is not available to all moderators or other ISD.
2) As mods, strict moderation procedures and rules need to be followed - we don't lock/delete threads at whim.
3) No.
4) If you come to the Fanfest, it is definetly a possibility!

Thanks to all of those who have applied until now. Its great to see such a large number of players wanting to contribute to the community.
We've had a fantastic response rate so far and are still accepting applications. We've already reviewed a large part of the submitted applications (still have some to go), so if you've applied, you should be hearing from us within the next coming days.

We're in the process of reviewing applications for which interviews have already been conducted, as well as those applications which have just come in. Everyone who has applied should get an answer from us. Please bear with us in the meantime.
