How does one become a Forum Moderator?

reply to post by ladyinwaiting


I'm replying to myself so I can see the year change on one of my posts on the same page.

I've managed to find the time. lol.

Hey Crakeur! Please don't contradict me first thing this morning.

Surely, goodlooking is the pentacle of importance in becoming a mod. You should know perfectly well. hmp.

No clue how I ended up here. Wait, yes, I do. That rum soaked ritual with the magenta smoke high in the hills overlooking that volcano in jogjakarta had something to do with it.

I spent many weeks on business in the Holiday Inn in Jogja..

I don't recall seeing a bunch of people drinking rum,dressed in bright spandex, wearing tinfoil hats and chanting in reptilian.!!

They were at the Jogja Village Inn obviously.
The Holiday Inn is for Tourists and traveling Business people not for blood letting and ritual sacrifice. duh!

OK Crakeur you got the first laugh out of me for 2011.

And most likely not that last.

I was wondering how one becomes a Forum Moderator on ATS. Is it done by posts, stars, or flag accumulation? Is it a referral by another moderator or done by individual request? I searched ATS to find this answer, however did not find anything.
Just curious.

Thank you

Eat your spinach.

And laugh at Sempers jokes, hence RT will never be a mod.

Im pretty sure if current mods notice a consistent method of open free debate, without aspects of trolling or personal attacks you'd probably be asked if you'd like to contribute as a mod, im saying this coz over the years the people who become mods are always stand up members of the local ATS community.

nice try mods but i know that you are all , shall i say assembled from spare parts and, programed by ATS main frame.

Jogja doesn't have a volcano. Merapi is nearby but it's not Yogja.

Now Pangandaran beach, that's where to hang out when on Java. Beats Bromo by a mile.

Salamat Detang and you have my sympathies mods (well the good, non-gangbanging, ones anyways).

And on that note - happy new year ATS - may you learn how to apologise and take stock of what is valuable.

Although I get wierd looks from my family for laughing so much at my computer.....

once in a year there is the time when they are allowed to go out in the streets and have a little time to play around

that is the time where the usual member should lock the doors and close the windows and never ever reply to the ring of the door bell

it is dangerous!
the mods are out!


@westcoast
does your family also call 911 to get emergency aid for you?
mine does it …… but 911 is to far away for us ……

Well I don't know about Pangandaran Beach but in my day it would've been Tjarita Beach....and if you want to eat, well you best stop at the nearest padang restraunt on the way...and drink rum mixed drinks out of a coconut shell.

Sumatran food is the best due to the choice you get and the fact you only pay for what you eat. I ate my first in Surabaya. Very tasty!

I still think the gourmet highlight is the coffee though - I can see why some folk get addicted.

When I watched the sunrise up between two volcanos, while sitting on the steps of burabudur, I didn't ponder the village that called those smoking beasts home.

Affer reading all these replies...I don't think I'd want to be a mod.
That means I'd have to sort through all the garbage threads to read decent ones.

It's already bad enough that I skip pages just to get the summary of a thread arguement now...


Like reading cliff notes for some of these threads...

Well that and I'd probably ban alot of people.
But that's a power grab issue.

If that's you, then it proves me correct. Dead-on, LIW!

Although I cannot get a visual image of the man in the avy singing about a meatball. It's incongruent.

Contrary to popular belief becoming a moderator is quite easy.

1. You must know all of the terms and conditions inside out, upside down, while juggling chainsaws.
2. You must know all of the conspiracies from both sides and have something on at least one member of Congress.
3. You must have found Jimmy Hoffa's body.
4. You must know Lee Harvey Oswald's real agenda during the J.F.K. assassination.
5. You must speak Moderatorese.
6. You have to like both dogs and cats.
7. You cannot be affiliated with the grey alien races as they are Earth's enemies.
8. You have to know SkepticOverlord favorite disco music.
9. You have to swear fealty to the conspiracy theory community.
10. You have to have been visited by the F.B.I., C.I.A., or D.E.A. at least once in your life.

Oh yeah, and you have to be asked, otherwise you're S.O.L.
