The banned question.... oooooh

A couple of days ago, I asked a question in the SOTW forum:

“What does it take to become a moderator?”

…or at least, what does it take to be one of the SOTW judges, which is what I really want to know.

Anyway, I received an e-mail that said there was a reply to my question and I clicked on the link. Nothing. My thread was deleted from the SOTW forum. So I’m re-asking my question here… if that’s OK.

To become a moderator, you must be helpful, courteous, and a positive influence on the forums. New moderators are invited by a full vote from existing moderators. Being a moderator is a great job, but it also carries a lot of responsibility - only the brave, the strong, and the fearless need apply =)

its on kirupa’s about page=)

Aha, OK, thanks. I’ll take a look. :slight_smile:

Kajinku: You’re thread did not get purposely deleted. When the forums switched servers we lost all posts made in the last 5 days. Your post fell into that category. Again, on behalf of Kirupa, we apologize for the inconvenience.

Cheers,
Jubs :rambo:

I was thinking this might be the reason. It’s OK, no worries. (-:

yeah, to be a mod here you have to spend a lot of time… just check out the message counts for all the mods…

I just come here and say random antiamerican stuff, so I wont be a moderator anytime soon… but I’d say if you help out, explore ALL the forums (it’s been a while since I’ve been out of this one) you’ll make it…

… and make friends…

its not just the amounts of post, its how helpful you are to people here. there is alot more to it to=)

There are alot of things that can lead you to mod-dom.

Just be very considerate to the people around here.
Show yourself to be an upstanding kirupian.
Make it a point to help people out.
Follow the rules.
Don’t piss off any mods or Kirupa.

Stay out of Random lol.

lol thats basically it=)

Hehe, OK, I’ll try to keep all this in mind.
Let’s start. Someone needs a friend? A hug? Anything? For sure? I can help! Call me if you need something. LOL :wink: :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s not that I really want to be a moderator, but it seems to be the only way to be part of the SOTW judges… which I think is quite intresting.

Yeah… It’s hard to get into the MoD line-up…

It’ll take alot of visiting and hard work here and there… :slight_smile:

/me still wonds why you are listening to a non-mod lol

:trout:

I don’t. I’m still in the Random forum. :wink:

Get out while you can. :slight_smile:

Ya… That’s soem of the best advice someone can give you lol

Yep, after all, see what happened to our Phil… :slight_smile: [SIZE=1]No offence intended there, Phil, just jesting…[/SIZE]

Naaah, I don’t think I will. It’s the third most intresting forum here. :wink:

:beam: Poor Poor Phil…

We warned him… But he just wouldn’t listen…
:sigh:

lol=)

I became a moderator about 2 years ago when I actually used to help people with Flash and now I just poke my head around random every now and then. I guess you could call me a retired mod, but kirupa keeps me around so that I can ban people!

:stuck_out_tongue:

lol that must be fun=) :stuck_out_tongue:
