to become a moderator

[Hai Perso Coyone?]

i was just wondering how one becomes a moderator...

[Craig.]

you need a degree in psychology then to be trained in all kinds of medicine, followed by the training, and then the initiation. Lord knows i am still struggling with the physcology degree

[pete]

In reality I can't work out if I am in fact all the mods through my multiple alter egos - or all of us are figments of each others imagination. There is also the possibility that all of us exist in each others perception of reality - though that is possibly more worrying in the long run.

Generally a stint in a mental institution would be a good background, together with bald head & uncontrollable tremors in at least one hand

& Deputy - I know he is following us  

[Fly2e]

I meet all the criteria except I still have all my hair!  ;D

Likewise Dave, my thatch is still in place... and I only get the shakes now when I walk passed a bar of chocolate and don't buy it

Whoops naughty mistake there. Moral of the story CONCENTRATE!!!
Oh and don't try and answer emails and read the news at the same time as posting on the forums Multi-tasking, something I've heard of but can't manage

I think you've missed a few doses of your medication. Go find the nearest Mod ASAP

You know, I've been a member of this forum for 3 years now and I think that statement made more sense than anything I have ever read here.  I now understand.

hehehe

i too still have a large percentage of my hair intact. . .felix

[Katahu]

I don't have a psycology degree. But as for medicine, considering my job, I fit in that catagory. However, I still have plenty of hair and it will probably take another 20 years for me to start looking like Spacely's Sprockets or Cogswell Cogs. LOL

I might also get arthritis because of the repetetive tasks I have:

Scan, fill, peel, look, and stick for god knows how many times a days for the next 3-7 years.

Well all those answers show a desperate case of each author without medication.

I believe the rules are : (with my personal comments)
1) Not a whippersnapper/Expert blunderer (that outrules me right away) - probably over 25. (yep - I'm no good at 17)
2) An expert in the FS series. (D'oh no chance!).
3) Lots of time/energy available for moderating. (Yes!)
4) This is the most important: You are really nice to Pete. (Well I don't go out of my way to be mean to him anyway! )

*Awaits transportation by mods to Room 101 for mouthing the above obscenities.*

[beefhole]

I am seriously beginning to think that all mods of every single website are all just one guy who sits at home and controls half the websites on earth, because whenever anyone asks a question like this you guys are always so secretive about it.

[ozzy72]

That is because we don't wish to give away one bit of The Force beefhole
