How does one become a moderator?
" @Sweep: Lies! He's just saying that you throw you off the track! It's the BLUE pill! Just like in Pokemon, always be Blue! "Every we've had our differences about moose and meese... (IT'S FUCKING MEESE FFS!!!!11)....... I fully back you up there.
In front of the Whiskey Media offices there is a box. Inside of that box there is a map. At the end of that map there is a key. Take that key to the top of K2, the second tallest mountain in the world, and open the door you find just below the peak. Inside you will find a monk, and he will offer you something to drink. DO NOT DRINK IT.Instead, offer him an energy drink and some foreign candy and he will teach you the secret handshake. Take that handshake and shake the hands of President Obama (with your left) and Macho Man Randy Savage (with your right) at the same time. They will then tell you the password which you must speak to the king of the mods, and he will grant you but a fraction of his power.

" Why would anyone want to be a mod? "The power and influence that comes with that red banner underneath your avatar is glorious. In a way, we all pine for it.
Personally, I'd go mad with the power. For example, I'd probably just lock any thread that disagreed with my own opinion and be like "Fucking LOCKED bitches, Vince is out, PEACE!" then lock that shit down. Man, I'd love to rule the GB forums.

Too graphic to describe here. "Too late, I'm already aroused. Good thing I have Animal Planet bookmarked!
Also in response to the OP: You remember how in the Lord of the Rings, Sauron forges those rings and hands them out to everybody? It's basically like that. Snide forges rings and hands them out to those he deems worthy. Without them, the mods are powerless.

The only way to end this topic is by making FunkSausage a mod.
It's just the only way.

- If you ask to be a moderator, you're out.
- If someone else suggests that you'd make a good moderator, you're out.
- If you've ever expressed disagreement with another moderator in the past, you're out.
- If you've ever expressed agreement with another moderator in the past, you're out.
- Sexual favors.
"Does for filling the last point make all the others irrelevent?"

The only plus I can see to being a mod is you get free membership.

Let's just say that it's very hard to make the other points irrelevant.

As a sincere answer:
New moderators are inducted after lengthy discussion by staff and existing moderators, but this happens very infrequently. Usually (ha!) the candidates are people who have become know through their commitment to the site and are consistently good humoured and with civil attitudes. Sometimes the staff will ask the community to put forward recommendations on the forums as a way of scouting for hidden talent. An unofficial rule is that anyone who put's themselves forward is doing themselves more harm than good.I should also point out that just because you might have fucked up in the past doesn't mean you won't be considered if you can prove yourself a reformed, responsible member of the community. I like to think I am proof of that, if nothing else.
So don't fret! There is still hope for you all :D
" @august: well thanks for the heads up I guess. I was just curious is all. I didn't realize so many people would flame me for asking what the process is like, seemed like a decent question to ask given I didn't find anything on the topic. "Most people here are just funnin' around. Don't worry about it.
