how to become moderator from a junior member

[vy]

hey guys
just wondering how to become moderator from a junior member on this site
really i need to know why such differences

[lalimacefolle]

well, a moderator, for what I know, has to check out the site very often and read all the messages on his part of the forum.

He or she has to be some kind of "expert" in the field that he is moderating, so that questions don't stay unanswered.

As for differences, well, you can see that some guys don't always have good intentions, so someone has to be able to delete or edit the post that might be offensive.

[Zeppelin]

you have to be a member at least 6 months to become one..

[educatedfilm]

yeah.. excpet you cant really be an expert in the "open" forum, so I just gotta keep things clean, and try to be nice, and welcome the new guys...

[Bardsley]

You'll become a senior member after 100 posts. There are plenty of senior memebers with more posts than me; I just became a moderator late last year because Jon Brodercik was looking for some people willing to replace the orginal moderators who, as I understand, had been there since the beginning of the site and now don't really have the time to be constantly monitoring this forum.

[Raskolnikov]

I like the lack of responsibility that being a "Senior Member" entails.

[educatedfilm]

you should really become a moderator rask... I mean your around as much as i am... and like know loads of stuff... and being moderator gives you POWER!!! MOWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!... ahem... it also gives a great sense of stastifa- POWER!!!! MOWAHAHAHAAA!.

When Jon was asking I thought about it, but I decided that I'd rather be the "grizzled forum veteran."

I mean, who else is gonna do it?

[Christoph]

Aren't you too young to be considered "grizzled"?

[friskynibbles]

no, i'm too young to be grizzled.
when i got the senior member promotion, i was worried some people would assume i know what i'm talking about - that is most definately not the case.
:D

[Raskolnikov]

AND IT $%^$$% HURTS!

[educatedfilm]

that'll be the five string working its way up.. I told you it would have been easier if you'd put some vasiline on it.. (read "life with out biuldings" thread to understand joke... I should've been in advertising)...

[Benoit]

Well Vy, as I see it, being a moderator also implies that you get along with members.

As this thread shows, moderators have a demanding jobs and usually don't become insane by picking on Raskolnikov.

You'll see a lot of this in the forum :)

[Bardsley]

Rask, I can see this guy sitting in the background (maybe shades of Marlon Brando in Apacolypse Now), saying things like "man, don't get me started on the establishment. Those pansy moderators wouldn't know experience if it came up and and bit them on the a**. - sighs, wiping three day stubble - I might not have some cushy title, but I know more about the insides of a late 60s Vox AC30 than these guys could dream about...
And so on, I tend to develop little scenes like this someitmes...

[friskynibbles]

You might not be able to say 'my vt-22' much longer...

Amps? Nah.

But I suspect few of you get around a bass as well as I do.

*wonders what will happen when rask makes the 1000...*
maybe it´ll say: "inventory" or "expired" *LOL*

Or maybe something like "Needs a Life," "Message Board Addict," or "Nanny (http://www.winternet.com/~mikelr/flame1.html)."

[Incidents Happen]

yeah





i wish i was a mod...

[Bardsley]

I hadn't noticed the number of posts you had, rask. I remember only a few months ago noticing that we were equal (same goes for Lordathestrings more recently). I've found that I actually post less now that I'm a moderator, for some inexplicable reason (nothing to do with moving being away from the college ethernet network and ultra-fast internet connection, by any chance?).

[Raskolnikov]

I doubt it; I'm on a crappy rural 56k (my ASS) connection myself. I think it's just a "better get there before lalimacefolle" thing.

Though on average I'll post two to five messages a day.

[Incidents Happen]

you scam, man...


lol

i dont know how often i post- not every day, but when i do i post alot
