Due to the development  of regional  forums: http://resources.alibaba.com/forum/region_related.htm  

we're looking for more moderators.

We want to hear from members who have the expertise and time to ensure posting activities meet world-class business standards, and know well about the local culture and customs.

If you have any interest, please just replay here or contact me through Trade Manager

Tell me, are you looking for Volunteers or making a Situation Vacant to Professional Moderators?

Now please do not delete this post, don't behave like a tyrant with low tolerance of other opinions. I just want to be clear in my understanding of your word "Professional" ,


Street

Thanks for your interest

"professional" here we refer to :

have the expertise and time to ensure posting activities meet world-class business standards, and know well about the local culture and customs ; and konw well  about what's the rights and reponsibilites to a moderator.

All of our moderators are Volunteers. 

Not so, some are staffs.
 
Like your good self, Donna and some others.

Anyway, like the Chinese says: kai wan siow, meaning to be a joke

Some people want to be Moderator, hoping to get an offer of a job, and some are really without a job, and spending time behind the keyboards for hours and helping the members of this forum.

People always work for something, if Alibaba is giving away membership for nothing, and can still survive, then you must be living on fresh air, Sunshine and rain water.

However, on the contrary, Alibaba has increased membership fees by 600%, from $500 odd to $3000. The former Trust Pass Members are now called Gold Members, with the same arrangement, as second class members, having lesser privileges and facilities than the Gold Members of China. Only by name, there is a change, and by the enormous increase in the fees, otherwise there is no difference in the status quo.

Where is the justification for this increase?

Different people keep his own opinion

I think moderators should be more active to contribute

should be chinese?

Admin, I think you should post your requirements so that everyone would know if they have the time to be moderators.

Thanks.
