How to become a mod

[ajbrun]

I'm just curious (always wondered really), but how do you get to be a mod?

Are you just destined to be that way, or were are you carefully selected from the existing mods? Do you have to ask them or do they ask you?

It's not that I want to be a mod or anything (probably wouldn't turn it down though), just curious really .

1. you don't ask

[ajbrun]

No - I didn't think you'd ask.


P.S. In this thread, I'm not asking without actually asking - I'd just like to know .

divine right, virgin birth...that sort of thing I'd hazard a guess at.

Ability to work for free?

[shiato storm]

there there pyle... i suppose you could be made 'honourary ghost-mod' if that makes you feel better. meaning you're a mod of sorts - you float in and out of the forums adding to the atmosphere but being unable to dramatically affect the whole process of the forums...so you're a mod, but not.

There's a general unspoken rule: if you ask to become a mod in any way, you don't get to become one.

1) David asks you
2) Current mod's recomend somone to David, if he likes the idea, he'll ask you
3) You give David a totaly unrelated, large sum of cash, and he might ask you
4) David asks you

Get the idea ?
Good

If that's connected to this thread - I'm not asking, mearly wondering. Members seem to just asend up to the status of MOD and I only wondered how.

1) He asks? I got TOLD!
2) Hah! If they'd known then what they know now, I'd have been IP banned....
3) Yes, true... bit like New Years Honours and Labour Party 'donations'...
4) See 1



And in seriousness, current Mods discuss it when a vacancy becomes available, then the relevant member is approached and it goes from there.

Yeah summin like that

[Moonshade]

Okay sounds like something you'll never get then

[Zak33]

what's a mod?

still dont understand or grasp the principles, but I intend to be one, if I get lucky

[Twigman]

I'll be expecting my PM to confirm my mod status very soon then?

[Skii]

Helps if you don't question mod decisions
