    I could tell you but then I would have to ban you & send the Boards Ninja's out to quietly assasinate you. :D

    Do you want to open that PM? ........ Well do you Punk? ;)

    TBH I don't know .... I was asked & said yes. There must be a dimly lit smoky room somewhere that makes these decisions.

    Standard response:
    Mods are picked by the admins of the site. If an existing forum or new forum needs a mod they look at who are good contributors to the area of interest, if they have a level head and a good posting history then it might just happen. If a forum needs a new mod or an old mod is stepping down then the other mod/s can make suggestions to the admins but again the final decission is down to them.

    just out of idle curiousity, how does one become a Mod ?

    It all depends. I have modded various Fora on boards since i start posting here.

    First was Fitness. I was asked by the then Mod to help out because i was a passionate poster on the subject who contributed a lot to the Forum. It helped a lot that i was also level headed.

    With later forums i was asked to help out due to a combination of interest and the fact that i am happy enough to draw the hardline when it is needed.

    So, it all depends on the type of Mod that is stepping down and the type of Mod that it is felt would best replace them depending on how the Forum is doing at the time.

    If you have a genuine interest in Modship the best thing to do is just post with passion and maintain a level of calm when threads go a bit off the rails.

    Thats about it!

    With regard to CabainSail become a Mod of photography, i think the above line sums up why this choice was made. A great member of the community, passionate about the subject, helpful when they can be etc etc.

    Great news!

    One day I recieved a PM saying "You've probably noticed you're a mod now." I hadn't. Have felt a strange obligation to log in since, to the detriment of my studies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,699 ✭✭✭ThOnda


    Well done! Enjoy it warm :-)

    +1 - the fact that you need a level head rules me out for life , thankfully .
    but appreciate the job they do, so well done Cabansail
