How does one become a Forum Moderator?

To be a regular moderator,you must meet specific criteria-1- wear your trousers up above your belly button almost to your pectoral muscles,and 2- be a big fan of jim nabors music,and own every episode of gomer pyle digitally remastered on dvd.To be a super moderator,you must 1- have a wraparound hairdo,you cant have more than 5 strands of hair, but they must cover the entire top of the head,and 2-be willing to do anything asked of you by the bosses,including washing thier cars or skimming thier pools...

I tried twice and NOTHING.

You are really too funny! If I did have a vote for a new mod, it would be you. I always enjoy your posts.

OiO

I want to know how super Mods are created... Are they Moderators bitten by a radioactive ATS users, exposed to radioactive material, or are they just born Super Moderators, oh do you guys get like a bat symbol shone in the sky when your services are needed?

Wait, you just compared ATS Moderators to the Pope?

Sheesh, we're much more restrictive than that guy....

But seriously... I don't wanna be serious!

Wish I had a clue like this when I was searching for the first checkpoint...

To become a Forum Moderator, you must meet another Moderator on a fair field of battle, both swords drawn, at ten paces. If you are either skillful or fortunate enough to defeat a current Moderator, you must take his head, at which time his energies, years, and forum duties will be transferred to you in a burst of lightning and thunder. This shall continue until there is only one Moderator. There can be only one.

Well you must be of the type of character that is okay with making children cry when you take their candy away...

Because you will be zapping threads from these kids and bursting their balloon...

So a Mod must above all else be ruthless... even if they are really nice away from the keyboard

Why do these rules remind me of my first training manual.

Now lets see who posted this...oh right, its Zorgon, should have realized it

I have been and am a moderator on many forums. It's not a job anyone should "want" to have. I would say some main requisites probably are having lots of time to spend on the forums, being intimately familiar with all of the forum rules, and being fair and impartial in enforcing the rules. It may seem "cool" to have the "power" to do things that normal users cannot, but if you want to do it for the coolness or the power, than it's not the job for you.

Well, yes I am. I base this off of the responses and from other forums, where people asked how to become a moderator, and it seems to be the only logical answer that I can see as being how one would become a moderator.

The last thing I remember clearly of life "on the Outside" was walking along the sidewalk to the local cafe...when out of nowhere a black unmarked van with tinted windows pulled up, a pillowcase descended over my head, and I was thrown in the back of the vehicle.

All I remember about the ride to "the facility" was hearing Rush - 2112 play at least 17 times on what I assume to be an old 8-track...

I still have no idea where I am.

You got a van ride?!?

They stuffed me into the trunk of a sub-compact...

Other than a Harley, it's the only vehicle that could get through the thick bush to your cabin.
