how do you become a moderator


Quaagmire!

Recommended Posts

Occasionally, they have moderator recruitment drives, during which you can apply. Other times, they harass you until you give in and join the team. :)

Also, moved to Kerbal Network, since it's about the forum.

To expand a bit on what Vanamonde said, a few things that we look for when considering a person to become a moderator:

  • At least 18 years old, this one is non-negotiable as moderators must agree to an NDA
  • Reasonably high level of activity on the forum
  • Short or non-existent infraction history
  • Helpful and friendly with other posters
  • Not losing their cool in heated discussions
  • Significant contribution to the community
  • Speaking another language
  • Having a good sense of humor

I'd imagine it's still relatively short, though. I have faith in you!

I think number 5 will keep me safely out of the running... lol... plus some days I can barely speak one language...  :confused:

Safe to say that you guys can just cross me off the possible mod list.

Does speaking computer languages qualify for the "other language" qualify?  I probably qualify for the others, and would  be willing.

And I can speak to ten in Spanish!!

That's about it :P

I can speak 1-10 in Chinese and read a few characters. 

Maybe this might help you understand a bit of Chinese: 

(I'm not Chinese lol)

1. Nope, not quite there.
2. Uhm, yeah.

Spoiler

3. Nope, I'm always really careful about what I say, often discarding entire comments after proofreading them.
4. My like count seems to indicate so...I try to be modest at the least.
5. Sure, I can manage that.
6. "Significant"? I guess we now can change font on mobile thanks to one of my threads...
7. I speak Portuguese, kinda sorta speak Spanish (I call it "Portuñol"), and enough French to order baguettes and converse reasonably well.
8. Again, my like/post ratio seems to indicate so.

So it seems like I would be pretty eligible in a couple of years. Interesting.

Hahaha, don't we all. Well, not all, obviously, but most of us, I'm sure. :)
