This section is for updates or Announcements made in regards to Wolfhome! Any Announcements or updates to Wolfhome and the community will be posted here by an Administrator.
Have you always wanted to help out on Wolfhome, but was not quite sure how? Have you had many ideas that you'd like to see put forth for Wolfhome and actually have the capability, whether it be the drive or creativity, of doing so? Are you motivated and ready to take on projects? Now's your chance!
Applications for the Event Committee are OPEN!
This is a Committee for users to become more involved with the community, participate and create Events. This will be for users who wish to help out more and be part of something bigger! This is purely for our wonderful users to be able to correspond ideas, place them forth and make Wolfhome more of a home.
Here's some things you should know before you apply:
- This is NOT an Administration Position
- Experience is a plus, but not required
- You will be responsible for creating Events, Co-hosting and contributing to the Team in anyway that you are able
- If you've applied before and were rejected, you can submit an application a month after receiving a rejection notification. Earlier applications won't be considered
- If you've applied before, you're more than welcome to apply again.
- We may ask to have a interview with you
People who have recently been released from a permanent ban, and are undergoing their probationary period at the time of submitting their Application are not eligible to send in an Application and will result in an automatic disqualification.
You will need to copy and paste the application format and PM it via forum message directly to Tau.
If it is sent in a chat message or to an Administrator or Event Committee Member who is not Tau, the application will not be considered!
We wish everyone good luck when applying. Unfortunately, we cannot accept everyone to this Team, whether it be for activity reasons or for recent behavior. However, do not be discouraged if you do not get picked to be part of the Committee. Everyone is truly valued and appreciated, and we most definitely see your hard work. If you don't get picked this round of applications, you can always feel free to try the next round. Thank you everyone, and good luck!
The code of conduct is listed under this spoiler, if you feel like it aligns with you, we encourage you to apply!
Spoiler! :
These rules may be updated regularly as needed. It it your responsibility to read them periodically and to make sure you remember them. Please contact an Alpha if you have any questions.
Once you have read these rules, please reply with"I've read these rules and agree to abide by them."
Code of Conduct: "A set of conventional principles and expectations that are considered binding on any person who is a member of a particular group."
Professional Behavior Much like Administrator's, you, the Event Committee, are representing Wolfhome. You are a reflection of the community and are expected to act professional at all times. The Event Committee arranges Events for community participation, including, but not limited to: Wolfhome Awards, Member of the Month, Holiday Events, Competitions, and so much more. It is always important to stay professional when listening to people ideas, even when in a public room or on the forum.
For example, it would be unprofessional to completely ignore a user when they come to you with an idea. Even if you don’t completely like the idea, you should still take the time to listen to them, and let them know that it will be brought up.
Use of derogatory slurs or other epithets in Public Rooms and/or on the Forum is unacceptable - even if such words are done in jest among friends.
Event Committee Members may place users on Ignore if someone is persistently bothering you, or another extreme behavior (harassment, stalking). While being a Event Committee Member does come with great responsibility please keep your fellow Event Committee Members aware you have a certain user on Ignore during interactive Events such as Room Sitting or Game Nights so there will be minimum to no issues during these type of Events.
Off-site conduct is not particularly something we are strict on nor do we want to be strict on. If you are vulgar or inappropriate on Facebook, DeviantART, Tumblr or any other website, that is completely your choice. However, any and all malicious statements made against Wolfhome, Administrator’s, or users of Chatlands, be it to the individual themselves, or to another Chatlands Member can result in a demotion. Regardless of where the comments are made, it still reflects poorly on us as a whole. If you are dealing with users directly or indirectly outside of Chatlands, you do so appropriately and respectfully.
*** Drunken behavior or being under the influence of any other impairing substance while on chat is unacceptable for an Administrator and an Event Committee Member. What you do on your own time is your own choice, but please stay off the Chat if you are about to drink or use any substance that may impair your judgment.***
Behavior on Other Chats As stated above in regards to professional behavior, this behavior is still included when you go onto other Chat Sites. Regardless of where you are, you are still representing Wolfhome as a Team, and we expect you to act professional. If we find out you are causing issues on another chat or on Wolfhome, you will be given a warning. If you continue such behavior and ignore any warnings, you will be removed from the Event Committee.
Confidentiality Everything said on these Forums or discussed between Administrator's and the Event Committee is assumed to be p-r-i-v-a-t-e. If you are unsure if something is fit for public release (this includes friends) please discuss it with the Team or ask an Alpha.
Your Username DO NOT CHANGE YOUR LOGIN NAME WITHOUT FIRST ASKING AN ALPHA FOR PERMISSION. Seeing a new or different name with group colors may be confusing to users and should be avoided and limited as much as possible.
Dealing With/Reporting Users If you have found a user is causing an issue on an Event Committee post that has been made, please contact an Alpha or a Forum Moderator right away. Inappropriate behavior may include swearing, racial slurring, gay-bashing, or putting a user down in any way.
Inactivity We're all humans living lives that often lead to unexpected events and happenings. If, for any reason, you are going to be absent for MORE THAN 2 WEEKS, PLEASE LET US KNOW BY POSTING IN GENERAL ABSENCES or YIP & YAP. You can even contact your Event Committee Leader to let them know. We also have the Absences Channel via Discord though is still preferred that a post be made. Frequent absences with low activity (for example, going on a hiatus for 1 month, becoming active for 1 week, going on hiatus for another month, being active for only 2 weeks, and then going on hiatus again) will prompt an Event Committee Administrator to PM you on whether or not you would like to continue being on the Event Committee. If your life cannot hold this commitment, please allow us to give your position to someone who will be more active. As constant inactivity or performing the bare minimum constantly is not fair for active Event Committee Members to handle most Events while inactive Event Committee Members sit back and handle things once in a blue moon.
Resigning Regardless of whether you are resigning permanently or taking a brief break (1+ month) from being an Event Committee Member if you wish to return to the Event Committee after stepping down, please wait at least 4 weeks (30 days) before asking to come back. Alphas have received a significant number of requests for demotion and then re-promotion only a week or two later. It can be confusing to everyone for ranks to change so quickly, and we don't want the decision/request to be made lightly. Upon making a request to return, the Alphas will check into your chat login activity and forum activity. While the Team is happy to take people back, we do not want to re-promote people who don't have the commitment to it anymore. We look for about a month (30 days) of consistent activity.
Demotion In some circumstances due to certain behavior, the Administration may have no choice but to remove someone from the Event Committee. When you sign and read the Code of Conduct, you are agreeing to abide by these rules. If you are found misbehaving on another chat, this will go against you as a warning. You will only be given 2 - 3 warnings before you are removed.

Hello, and welcome to the Relations Team application! Applications are currently OPEN!.
Do you like to manage offsite accounts on social media and art galleries? Are you interested in helping Wolfhome branch out to other websites to bring in new members? If you have a knack for either of those, then you may be interested in joining the Relations Team.
The Relations Team's purpose is to engage users in Wolfhome's community outside of the community. They will manage our offsite media accounts, such as furaffinity and deviantart, giving valuable updates about the Wolfhome community and also uploading Wolfhome-related artwork to draw attention to the website. Our main goal is to increase the interest in Wolfhome and promote ourselves offsite to bring in some new faces. This is not an Administrative position; instead it is much like the Event Committee.
Please keep the following in mind when applying:
The Relations Team is for mature users 13 and older.
This is not an Administrative position.
Experience in managing social media and art gallery accounts is not required but preferred.
If you have applied and were rejected, you are allowed to submit another application one month after the date of the rejection notification. Your application will not be considered if it is early.
If you have applied before and either had to resign or back out before your acceptance for any reason, you may apply again.
Fill out the application as completely as you can with legitimate information. Lying on your application will lead to its rejection.
Below is the Relations Team Code Of Conduct, please review it and ensure it aligns with you!
Spoiler! :
Relations Team Code of Conduct
Each member of the Relations Team is expected to review these guidelines and sign that they understand and agree to them. These guidelines may be changed in the future; if they are, you will be notified and expected to sign it again.
Professional Behavior
It is important that you maintain a semi-professional, respectable behavior when you are on Chatlands and our offsite profiles. Much like the Administration and Events Committee, you are a representative of Wolfhome and those who are not familiar with Wolfhome may base their decision to join on how their first interaction with the community and team was. It is especially important for the Relations Team to uphold a positive and kind attitude as you are the ones who will be responsible for a lot of first impressions for prospective offsite members.
You are expected to not ignore users when they come to you with ideas or questions, and you are expected to treat each and every user, no matter if they are being rude to you, with the same amount of respect as you would a close friend.
Rules violations of Chatlands, Wolfhome, and offsite communities are not tolerated in the slightest, especially if you are on an official Wolfhome account.
*** Drunken behavior or being under the influence of any other impairing substance while on chat is unacceptable for an Administrator and an Relations Team Member. What you do on your own time is your own choice, but please stay off the Chat if you are about to drink or use any substance that may impair your judgment. ***
Confidentiality
Everything that is said between members of the Team regarding the Team, everything that is posted in the Relation-Team boards, and other important information regarding Wolfhome or the Relations Team that you only have access to because you are apart of the Team is assumed to be private information and may not be given out to anyone outside of the Relations Team.
Inactivity
If, for any reason, you are going to be absent for more than 2 weeks, you must post in General Absences. You can even contact your Relations Team Leader to let them know. We also have the Absences Channel via Discord though it is still preferred that a post be made! Frequent absences with low activity could result in you being approached by a Relations Team Administrator to ask if you'd still like to be a part of the team.
Resigning
Regardless of whether you are resigning permanently or taking a brief break 30+ days. If you wish to return to the Relations Team after stepping down, please wait at least 30 days before asking to come back. It can be confusing to everyone for ranks to change so quickly, and we don't want the decision/request to be made lightly. While the Team is happy to take people back, we do not want to re-promote people who don't have the commitment to it anymore.
Username Changes
PLEASE contact an Alpha if you wish to change your username! Seeing a new or different name with group colors may be confusing to users and should be avoided and limited as much as possible.
Demotion
In some circumstances due to certain behavior, the Administration may have no choice but to remove someone from the Relations Team. When you sign and read the Code of Conduct, you are agreeing to abide by these rules. If you are found misbehaving on another chat, or on Wolfhome this will go against you as a warning. You will only be given 3 warnings before you are removed.
To sign, please comment with the following:
I, (USERNAME), have read and agree to the terms outlined in the Relations Team Code of Conduct. 00/00/0000
Updated 01/29/22
When you have completed your application, it must be sent directly to Kiko VIA the forum.
If it is sent VIA chat or to another Administrator, it will not be considered.
Good luck with your application, and have fun! We apologize in advance to those who don't make it. Though we appreciate your effort and drive to join the team, we cannot accept everyone who applies. Don't let this affect your decision to reapply in the future, though; you are always welcome to try again!
