Moderator Prerequisits? (Just curious)

[McLaughlin]

So, what's required to be a moderator? Do you need to be proficient in web site maintenance/design? Or just a stand up guy/gal?

Just wondering. I never get to ask these kinds of questions, and it's been gnawing at me for a while.

There are no 'pre-requisites' other than being what the current staff are looking for in a new mod. Thus the saying "We call you."

The first thing that needs to happen, is we need to have a need for another moderator. You'll find that this is emphasized every time the subject is brought up.

Assuming that prerequisite is already present, we usually look for someone that's, well, as you put it, a stand up guy or gal. We typically look for someone who's cool-headed and has demonstrated that they know, and abide by, the rules. Having a love for PSO-World is also a plus. It's also very important that any potential candidate be very active in the forum(s) in which we need additional moderation.

That's pretty much it. If your behavior stands out over a fairly good stretch of time, then there's a reasonable chance that you'll be approached concerning a position among the staff.

If we say... send you cookies... then can we be mods. but really so all we need to do is just be good sumaritans, be active, calm, and know aboot the site and pref the game... i thought there was somekind of like ritual (not literally) or something...

[Arislan]

Well, there is that thing about Erupt's closet......

Some things live on.

[Out_Kast]

Well... Meira's description pretty much sums me up.
...
Right?

[Ketchup345]

There are rituals, so we can only get mods when we find a decent supply of blood and sacrifices.

Mods also prefer bananas as bribes over cookies for some reason.

I have a whole bunch of bananas over here!!!!
