HFCS verb \hiff-cix\
1 a: The act of using the Unleash Ninjas button, and performing a moderation act.

I'm curious. How did the ninjas here actually become ninjas? Is there some sort of top secret initiative? Did you get contacted by PM?

There's a group where you can ask these types of questions if you're interested. Check my groups, it's the first one.

Yes, you are chosen by the Web Team (probably people such as Stosh and Achronos) and are contacted via PM. Also, wet noodles.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

They make their selection by putting every Bungie.net member's name into a hat, and then they pick a few candidates at random.

... or so I'm told.

This article from HFCS (forum moderators' group) tells you everything you could know about "Forum Ninjas" that isn't secretive.

How does one become a forum ninja?

Forum Ninjas are selected by Bungie and the current Forum Ninjas on a number of characteristics such as community involvement, length of time on Bungie.net, knowledge of Bungie and Bungie games, knowledge of and adherence to forum rules, exercise of good judgment on the forums, and should have extensive knowledge of the English language along with proper grammar.

In general, users who are considered for a Forum Ninja position have anywhere between several months and many years of experience and activity on Bungie.net.

If candidates meet these requirements, they may be potential Forum Ninja material and are abducted, sealed in a black room, beaten with a wet noodle and finally starved for seven days until they are released back into the world naked and confused or find themselves chained to a computer desk in Bungie's mop closet.


And by the way, you aren't trying to become one, right...?

Ask your Ninja. Great group, it helped me out plenty of times.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I'll give you 2 explanations for locking this, and also answer your question at the same time. You can decide which to believe.

I'm locking this as its a repeat topic, which is answered elsewhere. Such as HFCS' FAQ or...whatever this is.

I'm locking this because the Ninjas are inherently secretive, and if anyone accidentally stumbled upon our recruitment methods, the streets would run red with Community Member Blood. So to preempt me having to get on a bunch of planes and do TONS of laundry (gotta get that blood out as soon as possible, or it will stain)...
