I was wondering what all you have to do to become a moderator in a forum. Does anyone know ? perhaps maybe a moderator can tell me.

thanks

You have to be a well-respected member...well liked...nominated by the other moderators and then voted in. We don' t need any at this time...and usually...it' s older folks...

Hope I helped. Have a goodin!

Here is another question that falls along the same line...... If what you say is true then how after only 4 months did one person become a mod...I would think that in the short time as 4 months you would hardly know a person.... And why only Americans??? Just asking......

Deerslayer, I don' t see it as a problem at all...just haven' t been able to post much lately.

Well, there are people from Canada on here, but since the vast majority are from the states, then the vast majority of mods should be from the states also I guess.

As for the only being on here for 4 months thing...I personally, think that they should be long time, outstanding members.

But to answer your question, we also have " chat moderators" that are not on the board much. Sometimes they' ve " chat moderated" for some long time, and if the need for another board mod needs to be addressed, the long-time chat mods are usually looked at first. By the way they conduct themselves in the chat, if they agree to keep an eye on the boards too, then they can become a board moderator after posting on the boards, or being a board member for a short time. Hope that helps...
