age limits

ironbrew · 15-12-2002 1:33am #1

is there any ages limits 4 to b a moderator, whats the youngest moderator here, and who?

DeVore · 15-12-2002 1:54am

You have to have a mental age of 18+

Occasionally we've found people who's physical age differs from that.

GoneShootin · 15-12-2002 2:36am

I acknowledge not that elitist website THEY call Know Your Nerds.

I am one of great nerdness, and twice smiles as failed to post my pic. I dont agree with the arguement that I am just too grotesque and would scare off little kids.

Down with it I say

Of course, there's no such restrictions on Admins

i mean what i say i mean to say

Oeneus · 16-12-2002 10:16pm

I'm 16, Will be 17 in January. Not sure if there's anyone younger.

Tellox · 16-12-2002 10:23pm

I just turned 15...alas,im no mod... whose the youngest user on the boards?

DeVore · 16-12-2002 10:24pm

Now theres something I didnt know before... which is cool... *shrug*. Some people are more mature at 16 then others are at 40.

If you want to be mod, you probably arent the type of person who's going to make a good one.

DeV.

ironbrew · 16-12-2002 10:26pm

u better make a new thred 4 that qustion cuz they'll just close this 1 for going of the topic

ironbrew · 16-12-2002 10:28pm

thats why i don't want to be a mod.;);) [wink some more][nudge][nudge]

Tellox · 16-12-2002 11:02pm

Its cool that I've just turned 15? how so?
also, Iron, if you want to become a mod,I'd reccomend getting your post count up a bit. Almighty Admin's dev and cloud would probably want to know who you are before they give you a board

ironbrew · 16-12-2002 11:04pm

eh?

Tellox · 16-12-2002 11:13pm

Those were scarily fast replies o_O
anyway, if dev/cloud dont know who you are, they're unlikely to give you a board. Look at people like az. He has a high post count, and the admins know him for the sexy beast he is, and he got his own boards to mod. I'd reccomend getting at least 400 posts before asking to be a mod

ironbrew · 17-12-2002 12:02am

so dev/cloud have met every moderator on these boards and have gave them the thumbs up?

DeVore · 17-12-2002 12:18am

No. We havent met all of them, admittedly most of them but not necessarily when we gave them mod-powers...

btw being a mod gets you NOTHING and a big pain in the ass.

Post count counts for NOTHING.

We judge people by their posts, maturity and lack of spam in general. Mostly it works. Cake also has its say, of course.

DeV.

Oeneus · 17-12-2002 7:41am

Encouraging him to get his post count up for the sake of becoming a mod is not a good scheme. It's like giving him an excuse to spam!

I've haven't met DeV or Cloud, yet.

Why the hell do you want to be a mod anyway?

amp · 17-12-2002 10:48am

My mental age varies depending on what board I'm moderating. So from 70+ (Humanities) to 21 (Games) to -12 (Boards Events) -69 (Kittencake)

po0k · 17-12-2002 12:28pm

First rule about becoming a mod is - don't talk about becoming a mod.

The second rule about becoming a mod is - don't talk about becoming a mod

:P

[muse]
I suppose the best way to become a mod is to take an active participation in a particular section or hobby/interest. Something that doesn't yet merit it's own board. If there is enough interest, you can always apply for a board here.
[/muse]

Personally, I just got the mod of politics because one of the other mods was going off on holidays and someone threw my name out with a few others. This was completely unknown to me until I got a PM from DeVore asking me if I wanted a politics modship.

As for my other modship, well just guess :P

ironbrew · 17-12-2002 11:01pm

ok in other words i'm not going 2 be givin a mod status coz i've talked bout it, ah wel life goes on, oh sh!t wat life!?

Heh. I only made the suggestion to put up an instruments board, and they then put me as the mod.

And Slosh was slapped up for modship on instruments aswell from when I was on holiday. And for some reason he's still there.

ironbrew · 17-12-2002 11:27pm

well i'd love a board on GAA it, as i recently discovered there was just a borad for sport and none for GAA alone, but ah well what can you do!

p.s if there was a board for GAA it would give me a better chance to argue with Alany and i'd be able to hear more views from gaels!

Big Chief · 18-12-2002 12:22pm

i would say if you wanted to be a mod it would have to be something in which you have experience with and would be able to give some help...

like me for instance, i couldnt help on 90% of the boards here, i just look at them and give my point of view while sitting bored out of my wits at work wishing i was lying in bed at home watching tv or playing me pc/ps2...

i could give experience in the half-life forum though for instance as ive been playing it since late 99', that and the games forum as i consider myself a big games player..

this is just an example im not trying to pimp myself here </excuses> :rolleyes:

Big Chief · 18-12-2002 12:24pm

it also dosent really help that youve only been registered on boards since this month as no one can really cast a real opinion on who you really are or what you act like, wouldnt have much common sense just to hand out moderator status to a person youve just met before, bit like saying "heh you there stranger, mind holding this €150 for me while i run around the corner"... well not really like that but you get my example

Kali · 18-12-2002 12:53pm

This whole "how to become a mod" stuff should be on the FAQ board.. then we wouldn't have to keep repeating our witty sarcastic replies

lordsippa · 19-12-2002 10:07pm

<sigh>

Tellox · 20-12-2002 2:46am

3rd rule about being a mod: Dont ask for a kittencake board
4th rule about being a mod: Dont support the kittencake cause
5th rule about being a mod: Dont ask what kittencake is

Well... you could talk about all things GAA on the sport board.

Gordon · 20-12-2002 9:44am

Ahhhhh Tizlox..... what are you on about?

NeoSlicerZ · 20-12-2002 11:21pm

rofl , i'm 14 and noone believe me when i told them . /me sighs

lordsippa · 22-12-2002 5:40pm

Wait there are rules to becoming a mod? I thought you just got in with the "family" and if you proved yourself you gained some status and "responsibility".

Yeah.. that's right. I'm going public! Soon everyone will know that boards.ie is just a big ********** smuggling cartel!

Actually, kittencake can be funnier if left to the imagination

ironbrew · 22-12-2002 8:08pm

So, name everything that kittencake isn't and then maybe i would be able to work out wat it is!?

D-Generate · 23-12-2002 12:42am

I used to be the youngest last time someone posted a question about who teh youngest was.

Indeed Alice, and make sure to run fast while you follow the rabbit down the rabbit hole into wonderland, "time is running out".
