How to become a mod?
« on: 19 Apr 2010, 08:41 »
Is there a method or paractice to assigning new mods (i.e., internal ballot among the current modship, an application thread, something like that?)

And yes, before anyone asks, I'm wondering because I'd like to be a mod, but also to prevent this section from being clogged with "I can haz mod?" threads.

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

Internal poll. It is, so far, more of a we'll call you kinda thing. Maybe if we are looking to expand at some point, we will announce that we are looking for volunteers. There is nothing wrong with making it known you are interested in being a mod, though, ofc.

Primarily we are trying to be careful that we pick people who have a very good grip on what we are trying to do with this forum. Enforcing rules is one thing, trying to encourage a specific culture is altogether trickier.

I want to add that participation helps indicate who might make a good candidate for us.

Seems logical, if your demeanor while using the forums is compatible with that of the mod team it is easier to break you in if you are offered the job.

Ooh, there's a breaking-in procedure?

Do you have to do that as part of the initiation? I'll bet you have to knock over a pawn shop or something.

This is a forum on steroids tbh. The rate at which content worth reading is being generated could get you pregnant.

So basically, we have to steal some shit to benefit the forum.
