A little over a year now. April 5th 2004 is the date I was added on.

It seems to me like dedication to the site and the willingness to be helpful are the only things you need. I always see Radish and bangbang's names at the bottom of the main page.

Actually, me being a super mod was basically timing. I was added on before there were forum specific mods. When the system was altered, any existing mods became super mods.

And not having much of a life.....

But yes, dedication is important. If I'm not at work or playing ball, I'm usually on Neowin just making sure things are goings smoothly.

You also get this lovely warm feeling inside.

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

No, I remember being given IRCop status. I never asked but I kept getting asked. I mean, asking is a sure fire way of people rejecting you.

I wasn't...

I was referring to your quote... I've just been itching to use that joke :pinch:

The way that I see it is this.

If you want to become a mod, you must do the following. Just be nice to other members, avoid flaming or getting a warning level, and keep a level head in a crisis. You don't need to know any of the staff, nor must you be a subscriber beforehand. Eventually, when you least realize it, you will probably be asked to join the staff.

Asking and sucking up to other staff members don't help your chances out either.

If you have to ask, you'll never know...

Mods are picked generally on need. If we feel the need for more mods, we'll take on a few more. Most new mods are put forward by existing mods; people look for good behaviour and an informative post history.

I want to be an Admin :p looks like its easier then being a Mod, dont gotta go around all day fixing people posts and editing things and making sure everyones going by the rules. Then again, the Admins gotta pay the bills for the server (I think??) and they gotta do board maintenance and all that i guess, hmm i like bein g a regular member, maybe i'll even subscribe if i manage to come up with some money for it :)

[Samoa]

yeah, much easier being a member than a mod. being a mod is no big deal anyway...I'm a mod on another site, not much to it really. Can be a pain in the ass really at times...

That depends on how you look at it.

once you get selected and you accept do you have to go through like an initiation... like where you have to eat butter till you puke or shave your nuts or anything?

and all your work is done out of the greatness of your heart, meaning no pay?

correct. None of the staff makes a dime.

If you have a warning, you're screwed, eh? :laugh:

[TrueBrother]

Wow, well I greatly appreciate all the time and work you guys put into the maintenance in this forum and making it such a great to communicate with other neowinians. Even though my stats say I joined this month, I've been here for a couple of years and the amount of posts you guys need to overlook is immense. Thanks again guys!!! :bounce:
