Neowin Mods

Hi, how would someone become a mod or smod or whatever? Just one of many random questions that pop up in my mind. I do not remember reading that in one of the, not rules, but other info pages.

[SadJoker]

Search, there have been many other topics like this. ;)

They'll contact you if they want you... Asking is a sure way not to get chosen.

Indeed, that is the way :ninja:

Be polite to members, follow the rules - and most of all, help others.

Radish?

does the amount of time you've been on Neowin matter?

obviously you can't be a mod if you just joined yesterday, but if you play by the rules, time spend on Neowin is not a big issue..;)

[AgEnTsMiTh]

posting quality and a level head is more important then the post count number. follow the rules, etc. you make yourself stand out that way.

[planetik]

^ (@gazebee) No, I don't think so, but you should have enough posts to be recognized by other staff members... right?

I dont plan on being a mod nor do i really want to. I was just wondering. Like I said, "Just one of many random questions that pop up in my mind."

Also, does smod mean super mod? Read that once, but forgot what it ment...

Also, can someone direct me to the page where I can find the difference between subscribers and non subscribers. Just want to know what is so special.

[Fred Derf Veteran]

Oh and don't, I repeat, do not threaten to kill a moderators family...I learned my lesson. ;)

Also, don't pour sheep's blood on their front walkway either.

Is that why I've been getting drive-by eggings?

/me thinks "hmmm....I think they got me, and I ran out of eggs" :p

Don't worry the mods, smod, etc have a forum where there a list of people that are backlisted.

give it up people, this has been asked a thousand times or more already. It is clear you have to do "favors" or know someone well to become a mod. It's kind of like organized crime... :ninja:

[Axon]

I'm not sure if you're kidding or not, but I never talked to anyone on staff before becoming a moderator.

If you don't mind my asking, how long have you been a staff member BangBang023?
