Gonna have to agree with you on that, but I think that everyone has had a desire to be a mod at some point.

The free swag does sound appealing though.

Cecilff2, with your permission i am so turning that into a flash fiction. OK?

Probably starts with not making a thread asking how, then you probably have to have no bad marks on your record and you likely have to have been here for a long time.

I'm mostly in it for the custom title.

Unless we're in Georgia, then tradition dictates I use a fiddle.

Hmm... I may take you up on that one. I've been fiddling for years.

Sure love the mods around here...

Your name's not Johnny is it? I had a bad experience once.

You can call me Charlie

If you are angling for a hug, you'll have to bug Rohugh. We don't call him the cuddly bear because he's got the blackest heart and grumpiest demeanor... oh wait. Yes we do.

I would like to become a mod. But I don't think anyone would vote me in.

All of them, including Rogue Warrior. But after a while, even sweet swag like that begins to pall.

I thought we a had rule to not speak of that game.

So, lets say they publish 2 games a year. That's 120. Divided by 365, and then 24... about $0.01 an hour.

Nobody said it was high paying.

We did get other stuff too. I haven't had to buy a t-shirt in a few years and I've still got an unopened Nuka Cola in the fridge, growing hair.

I'd think you should only want to be a mod if you truly love the forum, and like the people in it(that's not saying you can't disagree with them). It's certainly a demanding job, and can sometimes leave you with a sour taste in your mouth, but it also has it's fulfilling moments, when you come across certain posts that reaffirm your faith in humanity(which is doubly as nice, since you know, it's the internet). I was a mod/administrator for an old Anime site that I wrote reviews for. Sadly it closed down about two years after I arrived, lost contact with a lot of great people there.

But yeah, moderatorship is not something to be taken lightly, it certainly has it's stressful moments. One of the reasons why I try to always be respectful of any forums rules, even if I don't always agree with them.

To be a mod requires you to be a nerd.

The first step to becoming a mod is to take an arrow in the knee...

Go wild. I'm not the first to have heard of the horrors that await within the mod dungeon. HeyYou and Yasgur are some of the few that have survived its depths if you need reference.

What? So I get to roll with the "Moderator" title under my name? I've had the desire, too, surely, but only to ban some idiots that don't know how to make threads.

Go buy a scooter and a suit. And fight with rockers.

I guess the key is to be mature and not trample on too many rules.

I was talking about how they sometimes get free stuff whenever a game comes out.

Lose a golden fiddle, gain moderatorship. Swings and roundabouts.

It'd be cool to get the free stuff without having to moderate. They haven't enthusiastically embraced that scheme so far, though.

I learned it the bad way

• Have at least a post count of 10,000+
  
• Don't spam, flame, troll or every other kinds of fun
  
• Delete or edit every post that contradicts Step 2.
  
• Make friends with the mods (maybe the Beth developers too).
  
• ???
  
• Profit!!!
