Moderators on the Forum

[ErykYT3]

How does one become a moderator on the forum? 

Not asking because I want to be one, asking out of curiosity. 

[Drak3]

Sometimes they take applications when they need a few, sometimes they approach outstanding members.

 

Sometimes a lady in a lake gives them a sword.

 

Depends on the day.

1. Ask lots of questions like this.

2. Tag @Energycore every time you think you've said something witty or intelligent (or both!)

3. Shitpost all the threads.

4. Be a long-standing member with a history of being knowledgeable and friendly.

5. Send a check for $1,000 American (not Canadian pesos) made out to Linus Media Group.

Rumor has it the price has come down lately. Tough economy. Canada needs all the real money they can get, so they've had to lower their asking price...and their standards.

 

<3 all you guys

Can confirm was given a sword by a hot lady in a lake. Then we proceeded to do my "baptism", it was a fun event.

Almost in every case, they choose you. Like a Pokemon trainer. Suddenly I feel like a slave.

The way to be chosen is you have to be:

1) upstanding and preferably with a clear warning history

2) knowledgeable in some sector of tech

3) pretty active in posting helpful posts that utilize said knowledge

I needed a coverup story while we figured out whether it's legal to have intercourse with powerful incorporeal beings

I should actually amend my statement. The type of sword matters.

 

If she gives you an arming sword, much like Excalibur, you become a moderator.

 

I got a Zweihänder, and now I rule Europa, the smallest Galilean moon of Jupiter.

You forgot #4 ;

 

Having a vindictive agenda, and wanting to abuse your power as soon as you become a mod ...

 

 

Obviously /s, but you wouldn't believe how many times we're told that after issuing a warning!

I still haven't forgiven you for making me take my PCPartPicker links out of my signature...

I don't know what you mean! I haven't ever had anyone claim this on me and especially not today!

As I stated above, we (mods) all have ulterior motives and we love to abuse our power!!!

On a side note does the forum look any different for mods? Like are there hidden threads and stuff? Or what do the tools look like?
