I know I'll probably catch a lot of crap about this, but how? I'm not looking to become one either, I'm just wondering how.

It's a trust thing.

...and you have to know the safety word.

Where do I find out this so called "safety word"? Sounds mysterious and intruiging.

Send seven beers to the webmaster if he likes your brand then you've got the job.

Actually, that part was a very dirty joke I didn't expect anyone to get, the ban filter and Code of Conduct don't allow me to explain it fully. *Ahem*

You become a moderator based on how much Achronos trusts you. You can't ask to be a mod, and you must consume the path. I can't explain that last part either. ;-)

You can't ask for the position. If you ever become one, you will have been a member of bnet for years, probly never been blacklisted, and still an active member. Very few will ever get the position, though many want it.

I think I get it. Is there like some sort of mod journey upon which you must embark after you are chosen? You know, like the really really religious one where the guys have to crawl on their stomachs for 50 miles?

Hahahahahahaha, now I know the safety word! All I need now is the almighty Trust of Achronos (sounds like an item you would get in an RPG huh?) and I will rule the world as a forum mod!

Have you eaten the path yet?

Most people can't find the path... thats why there are only a few mods...

Don't forget the seven beers if you want to keep the webmaster happy.

i lost my life back in december. and who ever asks the queston of becoming a mod has no hope. well if u realy want to become 1 u will have to be posting at least 4 times a week for about 3 to 4 yrs. thats just a guess. You prob also have to help the other members out if they need help. I see some people already doing that, i guess they are trying to become the almight bungie spartans or ninjas. Well i have long ways to go and i doubt bieng a mod is a walk through the park.

That yellow tube is a symbol of Sigma's oppression. (-:

I think that someone being a moderator is a very daunting task and to be honest I think a lot of people, myself included are too busy to stay on for hours looking on a site for rubbish to deal with. Those who do want to and ask all day I think are people just trying to get someone's attention or want to find someway to be "Important."

I used to be a moderator at a couple of sites and I requested to them that I didn’t want the role anymore because I'm too busy. To be honest, Moderating forums is like being the play ground monitor at school. It's a job assigned to trustworthy individuals that will not abuse their power and are willing to put their free time aside to help out.

Lately it looks like those moderators have a lot to do as I see a lot of rubbish in the forums these days, and I want to thank the moderators for their fine work.

Hmmm, don't know what else to say really.

Ouch, that'd be horrible. I get tired after a while if I don't do anything besides being on the computer. I guess some people don't.
