How do you become a mod

You use CRISPR technology to edit your personal genome and add more parts or functions to your body.

Just kidding - I logged on to the forum one night to find a PM offering me the position.

Read it regularly and be an active and helpful contributor there, and we might consider you the next time we need a recruit. :)

We have international moderators.  And google translate.

What do you have to do as a moderator

Approve, move, remove, calmly state, not get irate, carefully explain, not feel pain, split/merge/hide, category decide, topically guide, keep it clean, never be mean, stop spammers, swing banhammers.


Happy landings!

edit: Well, sometimes they make us be mean, but we never enjoy it.

how do you make a 'show hidden content' box?

:)

In the tool bar of the editor, there's an icon that looks like an eye, right next to the smiley face.  That will let you create a spoiler.

does squad ask you guys stuff or do you just keep the forms civil  

We generally only have contact with the community managers. Sometimes they ask us about things, but more often we're asking about or referring things to them.

What was your worst time as a moderator?

When I first joined the team I had to merge 2 threads. I was under the impression I had successfully performed the operation until it was pointed out that I had merged into the wrong thread with a similar title to the target. This is a very difficult situation to rectify but thankfully the other moderators were able to fix the problem and I posted an apology to all those affected.

Moderator when do you get a PM to offer you the post as a moderator

Usually you receive it right after it is sent.

How many times can one change their name?

This is the name change thread.  I leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine the answer to your question.


Happy landings!

I did not really have a place to put this, but when editing the op for a challenge I made; I was unable to remove mentions in the leaderboard. here is the thread:

 

It's usually easiest to just report the post and that way we can see it easier.   :D.  But I'll take a look, deleting pings is notoriously hard at times. 

 

Edit: got some of them, @Klapaucius is being stubborn though. 

Edit2: Thanks to @Starhawk, we have deleted Klapaucious too.

I would recommend in the future (speaking from personal experience in the Primes Game) either not using pings in a table, or not using a table.
