To become a mod, you can do what I do:

1. Pick on Alex as much as you can.

2. Pretend you know Flash and help out as much as possible.

3. Spam in Random, but I wouldn’t recommend it because it’s addicting.

4. Repeat step one over again till Alex cries. :evil:

haha, i remember when kirupa first inducted me, i had just hit 100 posts and i thought it was an automatic thing, just found out i **helped a lot** but at the time it was pretty much just kirupa running around helping everyone. show that you are worthy of becoming a mod and the council that does not exist shall decide.

People have been screaming in desperation, “How do I become a mod?!?!” _You can hear the echo if you listen closely_

So I’m curious - What perks exist for moderators? There must certainly be SOMETHING attracting subordinates to this seemingly honorable and infectious status? Do tell.

I’ve been a Mod for about a month now and here are the things I realized:

**Good things about being a Mod:**

1. You get to ban members if they cause trouble. This is really fun especially when that member is annoying. 😛

2. Members like Alex, look up to you with full admiration. =)

3. You get to be on the panel of judges for SOTW.

4. You get to represent one of the best forums out there.

**Bad things about being a Mod:**

1. You gotta keep a close watch on other members and make sure no one causes trouble.

2. You gotta keep the forum clean and organized, making sure there’s no cross posts. If there are, then you’ll need to delete them.

3. Just because you’re a mod, people think you’re a Flash God, which isn’t true in my case. I’m just a Flash Learner so don’t expect me to have all the answers.

Those are basically the pros and cons of being a mod, so is it as glamorous as you think it is? 😛

mlkdesign : Yeah, third: Site Check | FlashMX | Random

Weird… but rules are rules… Alex, you’re in my target. 😉 LOL

The main thing that attracts me for being a moderator is, like mentioned above, the SOTW judge job. I’d like to give comments about submitted websites to give advice or congratulate. The banning thing is a cool extra, but I don’t think I will ever use that. (Mwahahaha…be banned!! Die!!)

What? What did I say? :whistle:

😉

Sadly, we don’t get badges. 🙂

Although it’s only the mods who get to vote on SotW, you can still always post critiques about the sites in the thread. And on Site Check too. People are usually very appreciative of any serious feedback about their work. 🙂
