    I believe Castor Troy has to nominate you, or you have the know how to initiate the /amp test*(C)...i dunno, its impossible to do it.

    You have to send 20 euro to Dev and make sure your nick is named after an american city.

    Nah, you have to have a self important superiority complex.

    You also have to declare another mod your mortal enemy, and lart them at every available opportunity.

    Ignore that Typedef fella btw, he's a right ringpiece.

    As my learned co-mods have already done the best gags it is left to me to give the real answer:

    The creation of moderators is entirely down to the Admins. Usually DeVore or Cloud. Wether it happens or not is entirely in their capable hands.


    It also helps if you give good head. AHH I CAN'T HELP IT!

    How about a "being made mod" board?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,563 ✭✭✭leeroybrown


    Nothing else seems to inspire replies like a thread about becoming a mod.

    Maybe for the sake of fun a "Mod waiting list" should be started. That way users could complain about why Cloud, DeV and anyone else who might have a say in mod appointments rate them all so lowly. ;)

    [Bring back smilies with proper eyes ;)]


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,264 ✭✭✭✭Hobbes


    To become a good moderator, you have to learn how to delete posts. Try with your own first. :p

    Or continually hit refresh on the admin board until someone says something like "I want a owners who dress thier dogs up in tutu's" forum, and nominate yourself on the second post.

    or just amp test

    hmmm, the whole "how do I get to be a mod" question is a little odd.

    Really you dont. Nothing you can do is going to alter our decision. Except harrass us to pick you as a mod of course. That gets a million negative points already.

    Also, the person who suggests the board really has NO SPECIAL GOD GIVEN RIGHT to be the mod.
    Everyone should get that idea out of their heads straight away.

    Lately we've been waiting a while before handing out moderatorship on a forum
    a. to see if it takes off.
    b. to see who is REALLY interested in the topic, helps others, posts interesting stuff and is regularly on.

    We'll make a decision sometime and then make someone mod. It'll happen out of the blue simply because I probably get a few minutes some Saturday afternoon.

    We've a load of new mods to pick (or old ones to assign new boards too) so it will be a while.

    One thing though, there is NOTHING SPECIAL about being a mod, you are just a caretaker... janitor etc. there is a DELETE mod button just beside the MAKE mod button :)
    I cant believe people are so eager to be mods, I have to wonder if they are that keen on the topic of the boards in question or if they just want to be mods for some self agrandisement.

    DeV.

    ps: Boards cards are usually made by other people about you :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,859 ✭✭✭logic1


    Yeah making your own boards cards is akin to posting your own picture on "AmIHotorNot"

    (moderation is bad for your health)

    .logic.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭bombidol


    Ladies amd gentlemen I welcome you to the future of boards.ie....... Bomb Idol. No longer do you have to adhere to old traditions and rules.
    No longer will it be frowned upon to make your own cards or have a laugh at someone else's expense, I promise to let the good times roll and the censorship fall. Hail to the king baby.

    Bomb Idol

    (That was my campaign speech by the way)

    Licksy,
    you know where that image comes from !?


  • Subscribers Posts: 4,419 ✭✭✭PhilipMarlowe


    Yes... yes i do


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,695 ✭✭✭b20uvkft6m5xwg


    just checking...

    bit puzzled why you used it though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,478 ✭✭✭GoneShootin


    i also agree that making cards of yourself by yourself is quite sad. but then again, Bomb wants to warp out sense of reality

    which is nice

    tip : change the word Bomb to word User in the cards and your sorted

    my card which has no bearing on this thread
