Vanamonde Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnionPacific1983WP Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Yeah, #5 is a problem for me too..... The only other language I know at the moment is a small fraction of a fraction of Spanish that I learned at school in a mandatory exploratory class... and that's like 100-something words.

That's about it I can speak 1-10 in Chinese and read a few characters.

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. Edited June 13, 2016 by cubinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
