Sigmar 06-25-2002 11:57 AM

They are the chosen ones, handpicked by Ziroc.

Volguuz RageWaar 06-25-2002 11:58 AM

So i see, only those who are worthy can become one...

As far as I remember they just emailed Ziroc every day until he agreed to let them become moderators.

It's the same if you want a customised avatar or a special title.

;)

Zak 06-25-2002 02:24 PM

Well, at the forums I know, it's a long process involving fiery pits and fiendish temptations...I'm sure it's pretty similar here. ;)

Lord Shield 06-25-2002 02:29 PM

backhanders, bribery, blackmail

lots of things beginning with "b" basically ;)

</font>[/QUOTE]<font color=skyblue>What? :(
He told me I had to pay $2,000 dollars up front and my first born male child handed over for slavery before I could Moderate!
I am appalled! </font>

DJG 06-25-2002 03:10 PM

Although I do appreciate all these, interesting answer, is there a serious one here? I am keen to become a moderator, because I believe I can greatly help the Throne of Bhall and Shadows of Amn forums, because I have a great deal of experience with those games.

Sorry for being so serious! ;)

Thanks

In that case, just enjoy helping out people on those forums. That's how I came to spend time here, by helping out folk on the old Darkstone forum. After a while Ziroc asked me if I would like to moderate on it and I accepted. When the Darkstone forum came to be archived, it sort of coincided with the resignation of one of the GD Mods and as I was in the European Time Zone, I was happy to help out on GD.

Trust me, it's a lot less stressful participating as a regular member than having to "police" some of the antics that go on here :D

<font color=skyblue>The truth about the moderation that I remember Ziroc saying as a way that he chose Memnoch was that the person could never offer himself, he or she had to be referred by others. That is how Memnoch got the job. Ziroc was e-mailed by another member and the e-mail said something along the lines of "Menoch is so helpful, caring, understanding, and wonderful with people...I wish that you would make him a mod...then Ziroc looked down from heaven and behold! It was true! Memnoch was an outstanding character! Ziroc considered the e-mail from a third-party member, then decided that it was good advice. Amen.</font>

I've been sending Ziroc naked pictures of myself everyday just like he asked and he STILL hasnt made me a moderator. Do you think he is just stringing me along or do I have a shot?

Lady Blue03 06-26-2002 02:42 AM

<font color=pink>i think moderating would b tons of fun, but i think perhaps i spam too much, hehe :D . Plus my parents wouldnt give me the time needed to be a moderator anyway, the spoil sports, thinking that the CPU is rotting my brain [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img]

Does anyone besides me notice that this moderator thread has enough spam to get it closed by a moderator :D ?</font>

Volguuz RageWaar 06-26-2002 04:14 AM

Come on guy's do not be so hard on ziroc [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] .
You must understand that becoming a moderator it's a peculious job, or at least i think... :D

Ziroc cannot let everyone become a moderator...

Imagin every single user of the forum would become a moderator :D .

He as to choose them very carfully, a [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] moderator would not fit [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] ...

Earthdog 06-26-2002 05:01 AM

I offered him Dom Perignon and T-bone steaks :( I even offered to send him Australian money. Not that its worth anything, but hey, I still offered.

I cant say I sent him nekkid pictures of myself. I couldnt stand the thought of him spewing up the expensive booze and steaks. What a waste it would be.

:D

Sorcerer Alex 06-26-2002 05:14 AM

You could always play 'mini-mod' Volguuz - we love them 'round here [img]tongue.gif[/img]

WOLFGIR 06-26-2002 05:22 AM

Hmm, how to become a moderator on IW...

Be a ninja-gardener, a friendly rodent, a welcomming rainlady, a geenie with some serious problems to shake it down to the tunes or or or or.. ;)

Hey wait a minute!!
A person with serious mental illness biting people would fit right in!! I am nice! :D :D I love children, wabbits, santas easter bunnies and and... hmm, not much for a resume eh?? ;)

I guess that nudey pics is a better choice.. Say LOFA what camera and setting did you use for background? Rocky Mountains?? ;) I don´t want to appear a coppy wolf! :D ;)

LadyBlue, I'm afraid 'lots of fun' is not what moderating is like. [img]smile.gif[/img] It is work, pure and simple. We keep an eye on the forums and deal with problems. Mods don't get much enjoyment from having to lock a thread or tell people to behave more maturely or stop flaming etc. We would really rather not have to do those things at all! But it has to be done, to keep IW a great place to be.
