Subject: How are Forum moderators chosen?

Trailer Park Boys ~ One of the best Canadian made comedies ever.

I always wondered this, do they have to have some kind of inside connection to Bungie or what?

By many characteristics, such as activity, knowledge of bungie/bungie games/, time on bungie, grammar, and following the rules. Once, chosen they are beaten with noodles and tied to a computer. Also you can't ask to be in mod club that won't get you accepted either.

First of all, use the search feature. This question is asked more than I can count the times JaF has penetrated into the depths of his brain to whip out a mom pun. Don't be surprised if you get more flak for this than a US bomber flying a run to Berlin in the middle of World War 2.

Moderators are just people. They don't work at Bungie, they don't get paid (Well they do, but when's the last time you saw someone trading love, kindness, and moonbeams to pay off their car, or buy off some time with a lady of negotiable affection? That's what I thought.) They're just people, like you or I, who put time into the community and are now trusted enough to wield the power of M'babwe Babwe Afrika Никола́й Васи́льевич Го́голь (Banning).

There's one exception, that being Shishka. He actually works at Bungie, or, he did for some time.

Simple as that.

Banshee, you forgot the unicorns and puppies. They make some good cash on the black market.

God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

I bought a pet hippo. It's a goon run for your money (if you know what I'm saying).

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Mabye someone should have a website/company sponser these forums so that whenever someone asks how do you become a moderator, the mods get a nickel. This would allow them to quit their real jobs and be full time professional ninjas. It happens so often they could even buy like 20 spare hippos for later use.

Currently, the community remains deeply divided on this issue. Scientists theorize that the"moonbeams" and "Love" are completely worthless items, while that Unicorns and Puppies are known to indeed have a price (For reference, see "Can't Buy Me Love" written by Paul McCartney).

The moderator must have been joking. I mean, I'm sure there's some billionaire out there would pay big bucks just to be the only guy in his yacht club to have a Unicorn. And as you know all too well, if you put puppies on the black market, well, let's just say you won't be in poverty for much longer.

But they never joke, right? If they say it, it must be true.

Oh, I meant to tell you. His "family" sent a package... it came to me by mistake, but I assume it was for you. It was a box full of human thumbs.

I think that you might be safer in the Great White North. Hippos are notoriously tropical.


Tropical, as in your backyard, Recon. They're watching you.

Didn't you hear? Texas is tropical now. Well...with this hotter, more humid weather this last summer, one might think that. j00 know what I mean.

No, that would have been for Impurity's retirement party. I was wondering why it never came.

Yeah it more or less involves a Hippo, a few wet noodles, and giving Stosh back massages.

That's all you need to know.

Here you will hear the truth from an unbiased, and totally cool B.net member.

The fact of the matter is...I choose them. The existing Mods come to me with a list and I check it twice. Then I create a digitized sled and send it to each member who deserves Moddom. The packages left leave lasting memories and little doubt as to what the member will be doing for the rest of his life...that is, wasting it on this site.

I was thinking mods were chosen by Shishka sending random PM's to members asking them, if they had the chance, would they want to be a mod. The few no replies are then logged and tracked down via Bungie satellite. Said posters are hog-tied and blindfolded and transported out to the desert somewhere outside Barstow, CA. Cerebral implants are given and then they become mods. They can access Bnet from anywhere in this solar system...

I have come across the inner-workings of HFCS (and not by means of photoshop-hackzorz), but I dare not reveal them.

I tell you what, BoB, that HippoBQ was great.

We should have invited Recon, given him a break from watching the soul.
