Subject: What does it take to become a mod?

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I find it funny so many people want to be mods.

I mean sure you get more power obviously and I hear the snacks are good but, it will be diffrent.

People will treat you diffrently, be it hate, rage, kissing up, etc.

My point is your experience on Bungie.net will change a lot and I think more people should consider the implications of in fact becoming a mod.

To become a moderator of such a fantastic website like this one, you have to have a lot of trust and reputation from the employers.

The basic setup to become a moderator is really simple:
1. Don't be a jerk, and don't break the rules. Ever.
2. Influence with the English Language.
3. High expectation.
4. Always be positive.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

What snacks? It's not like mods are paid employees, besides, I thought mods were given booze.

As for everything else you said, it's true for the most part. But there's also the accomplished feeling you get from being able to aid the community and that fuzzy feeling you get when you hear how people appreciate it.

Or maybe none of the latter happens here and it's hell on the forums for the mods. I doubt it though.

It would be great to help the forums, that is what every productive forum user wants.

But, I notice many people want the power mostly, rather than helping the site.

Power is fun and all but I can easily se many people here abusing it, which is why so many people make mod related threads and topics to try and get the mods attentions in hopes they can become mods or better their chances (which is unlikely).

But, I don't think many people consider how being a mod probably effects community interaction.

People treat diffrent people diffrently. Not saying it is a bad or good thing (up to interpretation) but you will be, that mod with Salmon text now.

But, the snacks thing was a joke and yes, Beer is more suitable.

About $500. The webteam is very corrupt and easily coerced.

Early 2008 called. They want their bribe amount back.

Come on, man, we're in a recession. Times are tough. It takes a lot more than that to get in -- just ask evilcam.

Unfortunately, not until after the apocalypse. However, at this time, we do accept firstborn children and right arms.

For the record, I would tap that like like it was put-put golf. Like a college student opening a beer keg. Like a phone in the cold war. Like an oil company in a nature reserve. Like a goddamn telegraph.

You see? I do have a qualification for becoming a ninja. I believe all I have left is to be a wet noodle masochist.

Oh and cool link, Lord Revan. Made me "lol" incessantly.
