    It's kinda like the stonecutters. You gotta be the son of a mod or save the life of a mod.

    Then they all spend a night paddling you.

    Serious answer- there doesn't seem to be definate list of reasons people are modded.

    As for the spanking,me and doom hit Orestes with a commodore64 keyboard wrapped in barbed wire for 7 hours before he got in.

    People generally get modded for a number reasons, including:

    - They proposed a new forum which was created. Posting that you wish to moderate the forum automatically disqualifies you.
    - They are asked to co-mod a newly created forum where the existing mod may not have previous mod experience and requires a liitle guidance.
    - They have a record of good quality posts in a forum that they post in regularly which requires a new mod.
    - They win a raffle prize to be a mod for a day, and somehow end up with the job full time :D

    New moderators are normally recommended by existing mods in the forum, but the Admins have the final say on whether they are appointed or not.

    And in Zaph's case you get to mod a certain forum as a cruel form of torture.

    Ah yes [interested user], thank you for your offer [to become a mod]. If could just answer the following questions:

    * 1. Do you have experience in a leadership position (manager in McDonalds doesn't count)?

    * 2. Do you often have maniacal thoughts of world domination?

    * 3. Do you often arrive home late at night, drunk out of your skull, go on to the boards and have the urge to call people names and then give out tons of karma, before puking up on your keyboard?'

    * 4. Do you wear a tin-foil hat?

    * 5. Can you speak fluent |33t5p3@k?

    * 6. Have you taped up your windows to prevent sunlight from obscuring your monitor?

    * 7. Can your trouser legs be easily rolled up?

    * 8. Do you feel that somehow you are out of place and that somewhere there is a group of people that feel the same and that you can relate to and find some meaning in the world without the need for worldly goods?


    Thank you for your time, please send your application, along with your worldly goods to:

    Dianetics International, Abbey Street, Dublin 1.
