Barrel_Dragon19 Posted November 29, 2002 Author Share Posted November 29, 2002 I'm just asking if it's a number of posts or is it a friend basis...I don't really want to be a moderator...I'm just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamc2 Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 You become moderator through hard work or a very high lever of knowledge about a subject, ie Anime and Gaming. But in the end, it's really up to the Admin's to decide. Also, word of advice, you do not become a moderator by asking. If you ask, any chance you had flies out the window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggy Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 It also depends on how well you manage fight or help other member and such But this should really be in another forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 :) Well it's some of what you guys said and well the only way to really answer that or best describe it is probably this sentence in the rules. [quote]Staff are also members, but with greater responsibility. Staff are chosen from within our community and are usually chosen for their close following of the rules and their relationships within the community.[/quote] I think that probably best answers your question. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrel_Dragon19 Posted November 29, 2002 Author Share Posted November 29, 2002 thanks...did't want to be a moderator it's too much responsibility... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathGuy2 Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 You also asked how to become a member. Member, among other things including Newbie, Junior Member, Otaku, etc., are based on number of posts - someone who is at one of the higher levels should be able to tell you. EDIT: There's a thread "Ranks" in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 [quote]I'm just asking if it's a number of posts or is it a friend basis...[/quote]...Either? Posts dont matter, neither does friendship. I'm sure it is probably just noticable dedication, and James notices, or has been informed of, and decides to appoint the position if its needed.

Mitch Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Barrel_Dragon19 [/i] [B][FONT=arial]How do you get to be a moderator or member?[/FONT] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=red] I'll tell you something right now--being a mod is much more than it seems. It may seem cool having power, to the corrupt I suppose, but it much more than it is taken to be. You have to deal with people getting sometimes rather defensive and angry for doing your job, and a lot of responisbility is also in the job. I don't do it for the power, I don't do it for the reverence, I do purely out of my love and constant admiration for these wonderful boards I stumbled onto. How do you become a mod? Well, I'd say one the main things is how you act on these boards. If you are yourself, and you are respectful, and kind, and considerate, then you have a chance. If you have good things to say, good thoughts, interesting ideas, then you've got a chance. But, most of all, you have to fully understand the impact of your placing as a mod. You have to see not as being on top of everyone else--but giving back for what the boards have given you. So, to say it bluntly, you don't become a mod, you sort of earn it over long periods of time. And as I said before, being a mod isn't all it's cracked up to be. But, as long as I can say I gave back to the boards, and that I made a difference, and that I learned something, then, it is worth it.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a op there, so I have to put up with people like that all the time. It might sound cool, but if I kick someone for misbehaving, you don't know how many hate pm's I get. @_@ And, it's alot harder than it may seem.

Chaos Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Okay. That's enough. There was another topic stating much of what this is about, and the main question has been answered as well. Don't anyone post in here again. Anything you say will most likely be repeating what someone else said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 [size=1]Yeah, no one post anythig else. You'll be repeating...stuff.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Umm, Medra... if you don't want people to post in this thread, wouldn't it be more effective to, I don't know... CLOSE it? :smirk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 [color=#507AAC]Moderators should really stick to moderating in their own forums. Medra is right though; the discussion has run its course. But because he does not moderate this forum, he is unable to close the topic. So I'll do it for him. ^_^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
