I know you're going to think I'm an idiot for asking this. But since I'm new, I might as well. And don't pester me and say that I didn't read the FAQ's and stuff, beacuse I DID. I just couldn't find the answer anywhere...

Ok, here it goes...How do you become a Moderator?

Please tell me. I just started a few days ago...

I'm sorry but this didn't really help me...

  • 08.27.2005 1:14 PM PDT

I have no clue... seriously.

Welcome to the forums man! You can not really enroll to be a mod. You have to contribute to the community, and show you are mature enough to be a mod. Then, if you're lucky, they'll pick you to help them moderate. I think that's how it works anyway ;)

Ok, I guess that helps a little.

There is no set way to become a forum moderator.

Bungie selects their moderators from the fan community using mysterious calculations and divinations that only they seem to understand.

The best advice that you can follow is this;

* Read, understand and follow the Forum Rules
* Make your posts as positive and as helpful as you can.
* Enjoy your time on the forums and do what you can to help others enjoy themselves too.

Those steps might help on the path, but even if the path doesn't lead to ninja-hood, at least you will have enjoyed your time here and helped to make the forums a more pleasant place to spend time.

And to be honest, anyone who does that (member, moderator, monkey), is what really keeps this community alive and thriving.


Ok, that's cool. You rock Recon. But Thanks to everyone else :D.

And don't get banned. I could honestly say I'm probably one of the few people on these forums that has been around 13 months and never been banned. It helps towards modship I think!... =D

If you get banned, you can be sure you WON'T become a Moderator. Lol, I agree with Death. But just keep posting and keep following the rules. If Bungie Notices that you have, they might want you...

So basically I do the following...

1. Follow the rules.
2. Be Active
3. Don't get in trouble

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

being a mod isn't exactly a good thing.

It's a lot like daycare, but with more poopie diapers and profanity.

Really, the only thing special about becoming a mod is the custom avatar. Well, unless you like blacklisting people. Which I admit can be fun.

BTW, don't ever make a fool out of a mod by proving them wrong. That makes for blacklistings and locked threads. =)

to go COMPLETELY off topic, i've got 16 months :D i think i've been registered longer than quite a few of the mods. So time being a member of the forums obviously isnt the deciding factor.

I know that, but I was just saying.

Anyway!...

...Yea, just follow the rules, be an active member, be nice, and contribute to the community and you could just become a mod!

It doesn't hurt to be an active part of the community in general.

Just make fun of all the forum ninjas. Best way to become one... or get blacklisted. First outcome is more likely though.
