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=) ---

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: ---

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… ---

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_. ---

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 😉 😛 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. ---

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! 😛 ---
