So how did Mods get to be mods? Is there some type of voting system? Or money? Or what? 😕
I'm just curious BTW 🙂

If we told you, we'd have to kill you...
But, mods seem to be self-selecting by either themselves or Arn... guessing though.
Last time a bevy* of mods was selected, they also elevated one edesignuk who had expressed a desire to be involved. I think a longish well-behaved and helpful history of posting on the site, being a contributor, and having a particular area of expertise all helps but these are just guesses.
To paraphrase: Best not to meddle in the affairs of mods for they are subtle and quick to anger.
*what's a good name for a plural of mods?

A while back, some members were elevated to Mod status to help maintain the growing community here basically, they were folks who really contributed to the forums in terms of being helpful and generally being all round good eggs.
Others just mercilessly until the powers that be gave in... 😉

Yeah! How about a Mod nano where their powers are restricted to just correcting others spelling or grammar but can't ban or lock threads.mad jew said:

Well, if we are going to have mod nano's then we darn well better have mod shuffles too.. Can't let the new kid on the block have all the fun. 🙂
