    Don't really know where to put this so feel free to move it to the appropriate forum.

    So yeah title explains it all really, I'm very interested in becoming a mod on the motors forum, or the C&H one, I spend a lot of time on boards, mainly on the above forums so I was just wondering what it takes to become a moderator.

    The only way to become a mod, is to not talk about becoming a mod.

    why choose after hours in that case....?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 299 ✭✭nerobert

    The first rule about mod club is you don't talk about mod club.

    I like the way you added "and if you're male" after suggesting having a neckbeard

    maybe just use this. or go to 'boards.ie' section at the top of the page, can find all kind of info, faqs etc, there.

    I've been asked a few times but I've had to decline. It helps if you're super cool and awesome (like me).

    Why do you think the female mods cover their faces?

    I quietly sit back and observe

    If you have to ask about becoming a mod then you are not ready


    You don't ask the mods they ask you


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 299 ✭✭nerobert

    You don't ask the mods they ask you

    Ok so how can I make myself more attractive to the mods?

    As I said before, I prefer to read the various threads and posts, but I'm willing to change that


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,239 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    You have to take the amp test

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,750 ✭✭✭john the one


    You have to go to Boards HQ and talk to the receptionist about an application form. They then do a Rorschach test on you. Answer no to them all

    Change your name to either Overheal or 6th, and PM the SMods with your completed Amp Test. It helps if you post LOLcats in Feedback while waiting for a response.

    After Hours, Feedback and the Help Desk.

    With LOLcats.

    You post it to the address at the bottom.

    You see, they don't have internet at boards so they can't see it if you post it here.

    When you finish it and post it you have one final step.
    Go into Windows Explorer and delete your win32.exe file otherwise you won't get the results.






    Don't actually do this

    Yeah, they start you off with the rubber ban hammer first until you get a feel for it. Good luck.

    op , i know your getting a load of shít answers so im going to be helpfully ,not like my follow boardies
    There is a way to apply although most are asked and of those who asks admins are mostly rejected.

    To do so you must ask the admin of boards. He is the one who decides. He will consider by asking cmods and mods on your contributions and enthusiasm in your chose forum

    To ask the admin , you must bring up the "help prompt". This only works on Desktops and laptops on windows and on mozilla firefox , Internet explorer or chrome. Press "ctrl and W" key together to do so and then write a note to the admin. Hope this helped.
