Community Machines & Software Moderator Recruitment [Open]

Hi Community :wave:

As more makers join the HTVRONT & LOKLiK Community, now feels like a good time to strengthen our moderator team. We hope each product area, whether machine or software, can stay clear, welcoming, and useful for anyone who wants to create.

We’re recruiting moderators for both our Machines and Software sections. The Machines category is being reorganized into clearer areas such as Cutting Machines, Heat Presses, DTF Printers, iEngrave, and iPaint, and the moderators who join now will take part in shaping how these sections grow. The Software section focuses on IdeaStudio, where many users look for guidance during their design process.

We already have a wonderful moderator, @rinsky, whose support many of you have seen. As activity continues to rise, we’re hoping to welcome a few more people who enjoy crafting, like exploring what our tools can do, and want to help others create with more confidence.

Becoming a moderator means bringing your experience and curiosity into a space where they can genuinely influence the direction of the community. Your participation not only helps the sections grow but also shapes the atmosphere of discussion, inspires new ways of creating, and supports users at different stages in finding their own rhythm and motivation. Together, we can build a place that feels natural, full of life, and enjoyable for anyone who loves to create.

Let’s make something fun.


:pencil2: How to join

If you’re already interested, here are the application forms for each section:

:point_right: Machines Moderator Application

:point_right: Software Moderator Application

Recruitment will stay open until we find suitable moderators, and you’re welcome to apply anytime while the form is open.


:mag: What we’re looking for

  • Good English communication skills and a friendly, welcoming tone
  • Familiarity with our products and interest in machines and crafting
  • Willingness to join discussions and offer help when needed
  • Some weekly time to engage with the community and stay involved

:hammer_and_wrench: What moderators do

Moderators help keep their section active and guide it toward a positive and healthy direction. Your presence, ideas, and the way you engage with others all play a part in shaping how the Machines or Software sections feel to the people who use them.

What you bring will help the section stay close to what makers actually need, and gradually turn it into a space that feels natural to explore, easy to connect in, and supportive for learning and creating.


:gift: What you will get

  • Exclusive moderator badge and title
  • Monthly moderator Cheers based on contributions (redeemable for products or materials)
  • Priority access to product review opportunities
  • Outstanding Moderator recognition, along with exclusive rewards for those selected.
  • Priority invitations to official community activities
  • Regular communication with the team, where your feedback matters

If this feels like something you’d enjoy, feel free to send in your application.
Would love to have you on the team!

:sparkles: Hey crafty crew! :sparkles:

Can you believe it’s been almost six months since I stepped in as your shiny NEW Moderator? Time flies when you’re organizing posts and helping folks untangle machine and software hiccups! :computer::scissors:

Our community is growing fast (and I love it!), but that also means it’s time to bring in more helping hands. Moderating isn’t a one‑person show, and I’m super excited to welcome new teammates who’ll jump in alongside me.

If you’re ready to support, guide, and keep our creative space thriving, this is your moment. :star2: I can’t wait to work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with you soon. :star_struck:

Best of luck to all the applicants—let’s keep building something amazing together! :heart:
