Columbia Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I wanted to ask after randomly seeing the rank "Moderator" on my profile. I just would like to clarify: Do moderators still get application forms, or are promoted whenever one pleases?I'm not saying that I am against becoming one myself, but could someone clarify me on this? And what happens when one is promoted?Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernovy Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 If you want to become a moderator you can contact the lead moderator ( KasperVld ) or the community manager ( KasperVld ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbia Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Okay, thanks! Another question: Does it mean anything if you suddenly see the "moderator" rank on your profile, or is that just a known bug? I never applied for being a moderator, but I see it on my profile.

Columbia Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Oh. Thanks for the reply!I was pretentiously worried that a moderator accidentally promoted me to this rank, even if I just barely have 200 posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Lol every one is a moderator now.Except the mods, apparently. I wonder what other surprises they have in store for us today...Rune. Here in Spain, though, it's most definitely not the 28th of December, so I can't prank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbia Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Oh.. I have a feeling that this is either a bug, an April Fool's prank, or we really are moderators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Iron Crown Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 The process of becoming a mod is actually quite grueling (I can say this as I did it just a few months ago). First, you must prepare your body by shaving everywhere and covering yourself in peanut butter. Then there's the physical, where you are tested for endurance and agility by running a 10km obstacle course in subzero temperatures while carrying a backpack full of wet sand. After that, you must write a 1000-word essay about the spirit of the KSP community and how you will preserve and protect it. That done, you move on to the Reverse Captcha, where you must read 1000 posts and determine which ones are spambots, miss more than one and you're out. Finally, after you have completed those tasks, you must submit your moderator registration fee of $1000 in cash to Kasper and he'll make you a moderator.

I think getting a moderator on 1st of April is much easier. Maybe Columbia and Rune can give you some tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we made obscene gestures at Belgians. It was a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moderator did know about it beforehand and it was all in good April Fools fun. Edited April 1, 2015 by smjjames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
