Moderators

Beg like crazy to become moderator. Feel users will be grateful that you became a moderator. Get drunk with your new forum powers. Find the job harder than it is. Quit in disgust because you feel under-appreciated and misunderstood.

Asking to be moderator is a lose-lose proposition. They come to you.

There is no level AFAIK. You don't have to have a certain amount of posts. If you've behaved well and been active and kind, you may be asked to to join the team one day but usually there are no new mods hired unless old ones leave the duty. This is what I remember when I asked from one mod via PM ages ago :)

Oh, ok.

Two more ?. Is there a power difference between and Demi-Gods and Gods? Are all demi-gods and gods automatically moderators, because ive seen demi-gods with/and without the (moderator) next to it.

Demi-god/contributors have paid to support the site

gods are the forum administrators.

And if you cannot figure out the difference between god and goddess, you might want to retake that sex ed class you failed.
 
Demi-gods/goddesses are just like regular members, except we have $25 less than you.

Gods are site admins.

A demi-god/goddess who is also a moderator just happens to contribute the $25 as well.

Demi-Gods without the the "(Moderator)" tag are not moderators and have no special rights. They are same as Contributors. You can choose between Demi-God and Contributor when contributing.

So in a nut shell:

God = Admin, have all mighty powers etc
Demi-God (Moderator) = Moderator, have rights to do stuff and work as "cleaners"
Demi-God = Contributor, no special rights other than the access for special forum

@Mods: Do you have to be demi-god in order to become a mod?

Thats what i was wondering.
 
My $.02

I admin a forum that has roughly half the daily unique visitors as this site has with 2 other admins and 2 mods. Trust me... you don't want the job. It is a major PITA sometimes especially when the users KNOW you are one because you get people PMing you like crazy to ban this person/this is spam/someones being mean to me and other crybaby bullsht. The only reason I continue to do it is because I respect the company and the community too much to let it go to hell. If it wasn't for that, I would have hung up the reins a looonnngggg time ago.

I would gather with the amount of younger people on this site compared to the one I admin for, these folks have their hands full.
