how to become a moderator?

[hc8719]

not that i want the job, but how does one become a mod? is there some kind of grueling test involved?

or does someone just ask when a mod is needed?

how do mods work too, like 1 mod for every 50 people or something?

Aha! The dreaded double-post

Good job guys, you both beat me to it.

First, you have to make a large cash donation to the site owners, or agree to co-sign one of their loans. Then, there's the credit check, criminal background check, fingerprinting, DNA test, and certification exam. Finally, there is a week-long period of cruel, sadistic hazing by the other moderators.







J/K!



Actually, the link provided by Hara and An t-iasg pretty much explains it all.

There is also a new addition to the staff called Mentors. These folks are recognized for their knowledge and willingness to help other members, especially newbies.

This may be a revelation but AA is the internet and all the accurate info is somewhere in here.

Seriously, the thread is going a little off-topic.
