how do I become moderator?

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Ask Tigger, or whatever the name of that mod was. She became a mod in record time, and then crashed and burned. Seems to be a pattern there: The more they want it, the shorter their careers are.

Wanting to become a moderator is one of the main disqualifies from consideration for the position.

sssssssssssssssssh..

I just like crushing n00b power trip daydreams.

Or maybe I'm just a realist.

Seems to be a Mod here one has to have prurient leanings.

So Rade2rising how do you feel about unfair censorship?

[Jenn! 918]

You don't want it. Trust me.

[Pooky 3,343]

You don't want it. Trust me.

Those who do are usually completely unsuited to the task.

Those that don't but are asked weren't hiding well enough.

crushing one's dreams regardless of who the person is should not be cause for celebration. But worry not I have many ppl in my life that are like you and its OK.

well long story short I am against it MOST of the time. Certain situation specific censorships are indeed necessary.

So, given 2 scenarios, by someone you know nothing about, you automatically choose to think the worst? And you still think you're suited to moderate here? Really?

You are likely to endure a lot more than my harmless ribbing if you post here often. You will need a far thicker skin than that, or you won't last long in the Lower Forums' shark tank as a poster, let alone as a future moderator.

The lower forums are a shell of their former glory and are now wussed out. This one should do well at least in that regard.

Now, you and I might have to agree to disagree on this one.

I don't have a problem with the moderation in the Lower Forums. I think I've had 2 posts canned in 7 years and made maybe 5 reports in that time. Whoever has responded has been pretty fair and I've had no argument with their decision.

The best thing I can say is that no matter the offense, none of the mods make a rush to judgement of the poster. The OP did that, and that's why I think they're not suited to a mod position here on VJ.

Darnell, ever thought that your ADOS might have been the reason you got canned by Our Glorious Furry Leader?

[Darnell 8,478]

ADOS? sorry, that's a new one for me.
