How do you become a moderator?

Tue Jan 20, 2004 6:06 am by e-extreem

I was wondering how you become a moderator, or at least a moderator for your own posted topics.

I've been a bad boy, I know but what if you want to remove some of other peoples opinions from your own posted thread?
I can delete my own stupid remarks ( and I have done so ) but I can't remove others that may be rude, offensive etc.

And without deleting the whole thread, its up to the admin or moderator.
Does the author/originator of the thread not get these options?

Obliged for a reply

I was wondering how you become a moderator

Various reasons. People with coding and html skills: Bargib himself, Stinger, EB, and Eraser (they made admins, a step higher than regular mod). Me, Wizard, Mustang, Tachyon made moderators because of our seniority (3 years plus! since the SL era) and congenial social abilities

Being Dutch (or reside in Holland, like in my case) also helps

(for some unknown reason, Bargib likes to recruit Dutchies like the Pope likes to recruit Swiss as Papal Guards)

You can't.

@E-EXTREEM, just think how annoyed everyone would be if people could delete others' posts whenever they feel like it. You'd have anarchy on your hands and no one would come to the site anymore. There is a roundabout way to rid the other posts, I've found, but I'm not going to tell you as it is something that could be abused in the wrong hands.

DUS Fear Factor,

Jij zegt dat als je nederlander bent, nou dan heb je een kans om moderator te worden..

Verrassing dan he, ik ben nederlander...
Krijg ik nu een streepje voor of ben ik nog steeds een slechte jongen.

Even serieus, excuses voor m'n wangedrag....kon het niet laten weet je.

En by the way ik woon in Groot Brittanie sinds 1997, maar kom uit de city of sin, yes the capital, hometown of ajax.......Amsterdam.

Groeten kerel en
laat even weten of ik nu ook moderator kan worden

I'm keeping this in English, since it is an international forum.

No, I'm not Dutch. I said RESIDE in Holland. Proof: Wizard, Eraser and me live here, but I'm just a here for college. And there are American, Australian, Canadian, and Dutch mods, but none are Brit. So living there actually hurts your chance

Enough crazytalk - nationality had nothing to do with the chance. That was just a fun coincidental, factual anomaly

.

As I said, it's more of a combo of tech skill, seniority and behavior.

Well said and not necessairly in that order.

Before you become a mod, wolf, you will need to make whatever you type comprehensible first

Wolfy, I could never see you being a moderator. No one could understand your reasoning for locking a thread. Here's a possible Wolfy quote if he were a mod and locked a thread:

your dumby being spam post back
but not not really
this locked good
yup

note to ff, i locked you real good

Get your own forums - then you are king.............unless your dumb like me, and they rely on IP verification and password for admins control panel.

Obviously, you guessed it, my IP changes, and therefore i am locked out of my own admins control panel. Makes my job simple though - i just answer questions, whilst my admins (which number 5!!) do all the hard work

With your own forums - you can be mini king.................but anything more and they all leave

Its is a power which comes with great responsibility as i have found out through my job at my mates forums, if u want to go and see me at work then look in my profile

What's the point in living if you can't feel alive?

Mon Feb 09, 2004 4:30 pm by Wolf_Demon

so why does ur ip change? do u have it so u cannot be banned from anything?

this is my world; it goes round and round and round
The wolfy types like a cow
