How does one become a Moderator on PSOW?

[Dark Emerald EXE]

Please note before reading that I'm not trying to be one. I was just curious how it worked. Nor I am not going to bug any moderator who replies to this. Just out of curiosity.

In life now(which just about everything), it's not what you know it's "who" you know. The same principle could apply here but i dont know. Probably being a good example for the forum/community.

I won't be able to read the responses until i get back from this Networking Forum im going to in 10 minutes. :P

I would guess by being patient, helpful and by making useful posts...

Hey i was able to reply to one :P

Yea that is a good point though.

I just realized that thread was moved...That was fast.... a moderator is watching

That and use of the report feature when it is needed. We tend to "hire" when we need people, and usually only for specific areas that need it.

When there is a need for a moderator, we look for someone that is active in that particular section. We also look for someone who is familiar with the topic matter, communicates well, and demonstrates maturity. Sometimes it helps if you are friends with the moderators since they are the ones that provides the suggestion, but that usually isn't the case.

It also helps if you create your topics in forums where they are considered on-topic.

Just like becoming a moderator on any other message board, and not completely unlike getting a promotion for a job in real life. There aren't really any tactics to getting it. It always pays to have connections, but it's also just as important (or more so actually) to be qualified.

Giving Ryna many many little kids to eat also helps your chances in the longrun.

actually, just being a good member and not a wannabe cop would get me to consider one to be a new moderator.

You know the ones who just sit and hit the report button instead of acting like a wannabe mod.

Hey now.

But yeah, it's all about behavior, knowledge, and the need for one.

I clearly remember the heavens parting and a beam of lightning came crashing down. After I woke up in the hospital, I was rushed to a dark room with people wearing masks and what seemed like ritualistic items. Oh, and they made me sign 100 papers while being tortured.

I could see Ryna doing that
