how do u become a mod.?

[cars_rule]

i was just wondering how u become a mod so that i can do that over time.

[Heep]

Basically just post good stuff, be here often (like almost everyday), show a good attitude, show that you can resolve problems, and after time when you've proven your worth, you can apply.

I have a paypal account set up where you can send large amounts of money (US dollars that is). Once it is recieved. I will then take aportion of that, and bribe Igor. :silly2:

I often wondered how moderators were chosen. I guess each forum has its own way of sorting that out, which is good. It keeps the animals at bay if you will and the rest of us can enjoy a nice relaxing time sharing information and the odd jokingly poke at each other.

yes thats true in some forums admin chosses in some other mods chose and in others the members actually vote.

Interesting. When Igor kindly helped SDU out when the server our forums were on went down for an extended period of time, AF has been like a home. I rarely go back to the SDU forums mostly because the Moderators here have gotten very stuffy and way too politically correct.

Unlike other forums such as you have mentioned, the SDU forum top mods choose who will become one. You would think it would a financial member but that has not been the case. I was on the Executive committee for 2 years with SDU and never was moderator. That was left up to those that brown nosed so badly or who were part of a click. Now it has just went completely stupid. So far in fact that posting facts and or even personal views come under heavy scruitiny! It is totally insane.

Generally speaking a good moderator is one with a good sence of humour, but also willing to sqaush a thread that is becoming or on the virge of abusive without becoming heavy handed.

AF is like that. There is a certain amount of freedom, actually quite a bit where you are able to express yourself quite openly. Yet there have been the odd time when a thread has become useless and it get locked. That is the right thing to do. The mods here use the right amount of common sence and that is refreshing to see.

he didnt mean the mods here in AF he ment in SDU.

The moderators on the SDU forum, which is not related to AF but a seperate forum all together on a totally different site.

The AF moderators are the complete opposite if you will as I have stated just before your post
