Now you see, my dear newb, the Mods didn't do anything to become mods. Wade decides who becomes a Mod and who doesn't simply be willing it into existence at random.

Stroke the shaft, lick the tip, don't swallow.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Why wouldn't you swallow? Swallowing is the best part of getting a BJ because it degrades women so much.

You post extremely well, point out potential problems to mods VIA THE PM SYSTEM, study and follow everyone of these rules, and hope you get noticed. Each mod is given mod powers do to a vote within the mods themselves, when they see that they are in need of a new mod.

Dunno, ask Wade. I think it was something about 'losing his essence', I think.

From the Help/FAQ

Q: How does one become a moderator?

A: Do not ask to be a mod! Users who are model poster, act mature, and help point out problems to the current moderators if they appear to have overlooked something (without being annoying about it) are invited to become mods themselves. If we decide we need more moderators, this type of consistent, helpful user will be more likely to receive an invitation.

No he didn't demand he become a mod instantly or even ask to become one, he was just wondering what it takes to be a mod.

In the end the decision is up to administrators yes, but moderators can also recommend a user for a moderator position.

You have to be a fat anti-social dweeb and kiss a lot of ass. They're giving you the once in a lifetime opportunity though by not locking this thread. So pucker up bitch, you may receive your golden aura yet.

Mods wouldn't even be necessary if users treated the forums better. Most of the time, a mod has to lock a poor topic because users continue to post in it, without realizing that such a topic deserves no discussion. It is then up to the mod whether or not to ban everyone involved :P

This is pure, assisted self-destruction

Mods are destined to be chosen from birth and trained to be destroyers of threads and posts. Yup! They're handpicked from birth. Sadly, we are not one of those lucky bastards.

The way wade chooses who becomes a mod is by simply throwing a dart at random names on the wall.

Mods are people who need to be corrupted by power, but do not have enough money to have a serious presidential campaign. So instead they become forum moderators.

What's already been posted here is perfectly fine in finding out what generally makes a user a good candidate for becoming a moderator. STEM's post was also highly relevant to the discussion at hand.

More specific reasons from the Open Discussion thread include, taken from the two newest users to become moderators (not counting "re-moderations", aka the Heller effect, as I've seen it referred to as), a.) making a silly comment, and b.) agreeing generally with the current moderation system on the BBS.

And I've got to say that as a stupid a boy I am-

If Wade was on right now, he'd probably make OP a mod just for the "lulz".

Well, you're using proper english, just spell it noob, not newb, and you'll be all set.

Also, you can't "Become" a mod. You need to earn it. Do alot of model posting and never break the rules, and MABY Tom'll hit you up with a mod offer.

Then all you need to do is accept it then you can do whatever the fuck you want for the rest of your life.
