How does one become a moderator.

    Got chatting with a few of the lads & girls as we were having a few casual sociables and we came to the realisation that none of us actually knew for sure the inner depths of what it takes to become a moderator.

    A few suggested things like;
    a) You must be a virgin
    b) Power trips are a must
    c) You must have access to boards for the high % of the day/night you are awake
    d) There is a private allegiance pledged
    e) You must be a 'Keyboard Junkie' 'Internet Gangster' 'Mouse lieutenant'.

    There the few I can remember, obsurd, I know. You can imagine the tomfoolery that lurks in my mood at this moment. So, can anyone tell me... what does it take to become a Mod?

    Riveting conversations, you and your friends are having. If I had any friends I'm sure ours would be much better.

    You're on a night out drinking... talking about how to become a mod... and you decide that they must be virgins with no real life?

    Fair enough, there was a shandy too many had though to be taking it handy though. AKA we were well on it. AKA we were drunk and rather silly.

    Well this isn't a loaded post at all now, is it OP? Have you problems with mods in the past OP? Something you wanna get off your chest?

    Just repeating what was said and what I've seen?! No need to be judgemental I only asked a question.

    Why do people want to become mods? It's not exactly rewarding, although it helps the site hugely. Generally, people who want to become a mod don't get to do it.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 503 ✭✭✭dublinbhoy88


    Dress in black and goin around telling people what to do ,would help i would imagine

    Yeah but I won't sell to you. What despicable topics of discussion would arise on a night out if I did?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,214 ✭✭✭chopper6


    Is it just me or is this thread a load o shiite?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 817 ✭✭✭audman


    Few of them have PMd me there giving me tips :) No need people! I was just curious! :D


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,421 ✭✭✭✭Oryx


    A few suggested things like;
    a) You must be a virgin or slut. That works too
    b) Power trips are a must Ac only. Not dc. Definitely not.
    c) You must have access to boards for the high % of the day/night you are awake you think mods sleep?
    d) There is a private allegiance pledged well, I could tell you about that, but Id have to kill you.
    e) You must be a 'Keyboard Junkie' 'Internet Gangster' 'Mouse lieutenant'. I prefer the term Guardian of the Internet myself.
    But to become a mod, all you need to know is the secret handshake.
