The Mod Appreciation Thread

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

I would never want to be a mod cuz I'm a *****e but I'm curious as to how one becomes a mod. Do you just post a lot and not troll? Does it involve gazing like spanked and a hot dog in the bum? Do you just have mad friends? I want to know how you get the red tags

 

[The Original Bamfer]

By speaking English.

I appreciate the mods understanding of the rules and how to circumvent them on a constant basis.

That's not fair to make such a generalization!

when you're power-mad crazy, you HAVE no friends...

Yes you do, you're friends with other "power-mad crazy" mods.

Co-signs.

Hype Mods are an entirely different breed of user.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

In all honesty, I have doubts that I'm cut out for modhood....I hope every day I don't screw it up.

LOL...that is actually very sweet to read. But try not to overthink it. The site has become so sophisticated (as have the rules and regulations) and as a result there are really very few things you can damage that can't be repaired or undone. And you have a "cabinet" of other mods to get imput on as well if you are having doubts about how to handle certain situations.

The important thing is never allow the responsibility of modding to choke out the love you had of being a Hypester in the first place. Once you strike the perfect balance you will love being a moderator.

then I want to be a mod...

no, not really... it's too much like being a politician... the bulls**t isn't worth it...

'Glad you figured out before it happened... we all realized how bad it was but, by then, it was too late.

It has nothing to do with being a politician in the sense you seem to be inferring. However, it is very much a form of public service. It's a thankless job sometimes that requires a lot of selflessness. If your motivation is "power", then "the throne would suit you ill" as Thor said in The Avengers movie. You. Will. Not. Last.

Besides, there are protocols in place to prevent mods from abusing their authority and keep things fair anyway. So you better be really ambition-free.

my being power-mad crazy is just a joke on my part...

from one THUNDERSTRIKE to a Lightning Strykez... at ease there... t:

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Oh, are you in the Armed Forces?

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

"At ease" these.

Lightning is sooo much more deadly than thunder.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

"At ease" these.

Lightning is sooo much more deadly than thunder.

yeah yeah yeah... just remember that it's the combination of BOTH that makes it all bring down one helluva s**tstorm...

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Answer my question, youngling.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Well that doesn't answer my question. How do you become a mod? Speaking English is not an answer

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

yeah yeah yeah... just remember that it's the combination of BOTH that makes it all bring down one helluva s**tstorm...

Pssh, thunder ain't s*** but loud, temporary and causes folks to look to the sky for more to come.

Lightning, on the other hand, can scorch ass silently. I do it all the time.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

Answer my question, youngling.

youngling?!?... you're WAY off base, "youngster"... t:

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Well that doesn't answer my question. How do you become a mod?

Have you ever seen Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi? Remember when Darth Vader dies and then Luke Skywalker burns his ass up on a bed of branches and then the hologram version of Darth Vader pops up next to Glow-In-The-Dark Yoda and Obi-Wan?

Well, that's how you become a mod. We have to burn your ass on a bed of branches. It's actually a delightful process for the mods; each get to take turns personally scratching your ass with a match to light it.

Now, if you have merit, you'll rise to the hologramic life in the world of Mods, which are basically internet deities. If you are truly worthless (which is very likely), your ass will just continue to bubble up on that branch bed.

Speaking English is not an answer.

Speaking English is a primary requirement. Because a lot of users you'll manage speak Bullspitlish. Luck favors the prepared.

So, on top of needing to know if you're in the military, I now need to know your age.

 

[JP]

Too many younglings.

 

[Piper Maru]

The mods are okay I guess.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

So, on top of needing to know if you're in the military, I now need to know your age.

Why do you need to know if he's in the military?

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Well that doesn't answer my question. How do you become a mod? Speaking English is not an answer

I answered you, therefor, it's an answer.

You get elected by the current staff. And the way to get nominated is to post regularly, post intelligently and post respectfully. I know, the words...

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Too many younglings.

Not after Anakim got to them.

Why do you need to know if he's in the military?

Private matter, sir. No reason to be alarmed.
