Thanks for volunteering.  The general procedure is to move existing Mods from lesser trafficked forums to more highly trafficked forums.  So, the demand for new Mods is minimal.

Of course, any Mod applicant will be thoroughly vetted by Staff, so there is that complication to consider.

IIRC, a couple of Mod applicants squeaked through with a warning or maybe two, but nothing more serious than that.  Longevity and post count are also factored into the equation.  Mods are expected to be on-site daily in their respective forum(s),  It's not an easy job to do right, and occasionally, a Mod is let go as not being able to do the job properly, for various reasons.

Unfortunately, the position for which you are applying does not exist.  The closest position would be Staff, and that position is only open to people who are already Mods, and deemed worthy to be promoted to a vacant Staff position. This not only requires vetting by existing Staff, but approval by Site Admin.

Unfortunately, there are no Staff vacancies at present, and even if there were such, pre-existing Mods, who had already proven themselves, would have preference.  That's only common sense, and also fair to all concerned.

But thank you again for your interest.  

After having looked at your account in the Ban and Warning list, I regret to say that you would not be considered a suitable candidate for a Mod position on this site.

I have a serious question: Have you ever been diagnosed with aspergers? You just typed up a super serious and well thought out reply to what was obviously a total tongue in cheek post that didn't ask for it, nor require it.

If you have, I don't mean any offense by it.

It's ok.  Offend away.  I'm practically a mod and can un ban you.

 



I was a mod on a political forum.  It wasn't all tame and straight laced like here.

And everyone loves me. It's true just ask . . . um, nevermind.

I would make a great mod. I have no pesky "job" to get in the way anymore. Plus I spend a lot of time in hospital rooms with nothing else to do.
Of course some of them block ARF, but I'm usually unconscious anyway

I admin'd a large car board for some time. After that, I think I'd rather remove my own liver with a dull spoon than deal with the whiney ass drama bullshit that goes with the mod gig. And believe it or not, board advertisers were some of the worst.

These days, I appreciate being able to just log on and only read the stuff I want while having the luxury of ignoring the retards.

Do you wear your lemon yellow speedo under the bat outfit or on top of it?  I seem to recall a time you were quite proud of your speedo. I guess when you become batman you have to let go of your old persona and adopt a harsher battitude.

The other technical forums are mostly boring to Mod.  Most "Reports" are about "Not technical" or "Wrong forum".  Most of my time is simply moving threads to the correct forums.  Very seldom do we give out Warnings.
