How do you become Moderators

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.

[/QUOTE]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!

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

[/QUOTE]So...Donut, if I were to want... a title *cough, cough* which I want to have but am not sure how to get, I would just e-mail Ziroc? Or Choc?

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

I only meet 50% of that quota, Rickarda...

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.

Well, I have a long mem... I mean I've been a member for a long time... at least in the sense of belonging here, that is, not that I'm a member, as such... ummm... never mind.

No fair! He made me agree to mow his law for a month and send flowers every week! [img]tongue.gif[/img] I'm doubly appalled!
