A Moderator?Originally Posted by Supreme Shogun
A moderator is an individual who volunteers to aid in the management of forums -- usually without any sort of payment whatsoever -- which includes enforcing rules, using judgements when appropriate, be aware that your every action will be interpreted as site policy to a point, participate in behind-the-scenes management discussions...all that for a little executive power. I doubt any except the most dedicated would be accepted, or should, for that matter.
You are a member already, no? Which forums can't you get access to? I'm a member and I can go to any forums I want except for the hidden ones, which are only the ones for modders of the specific mods anyway.
Dont listen to the above post. Just spam![]()

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
i do but they have special things they can lock a topic which i have wanted to do for so long

There are certain things that severely decrease your chances of getting a position as Assistant Moderator. Such things include recieving warnings, being rude or profane, not contributing to the forum... and making threads like these.
A public request for moderatorship without understanding what a moderator does is definately no way of going about it. If you believe you want to be a moderator because you want to "lock threads" or because it's cool, you are definately not a good candidate.
To be a moderator, you must be active, mostly in the forum you want to moderate.
Make a written request to Tosa or the moderator in charge of said forum (keyword here is chain of command) via Private Message, explaining how you can contribute to the forum and why you want to be a moderator.
The more detailed you are, the better. Also, and this is the single most important factor, there has to be an opening for a new moderator. If everything is running smoothly, there is no need to add more staff. If it's not broken, dont fix it.
Lastly, being promoted from Member to Moderator is like going out with Paris Hilton and not looking like a fool. It cant happen. Almost everyone starts out as an Assistant Moderator, under the command of a Moderator. These AMs, like me, have very limited powers. We cant even edit unless it's granted to us. We are the Public Relations to the senior staff's Administration. And, again I stress, it's only when there is a need of staff.
Hope this helps
