This was posted for this week. Im just curious how they pick them. Do they watch people and then choose those with the highest post count and best/most responsible attitude?

I'm not sure, but i know it has nothing to do with post-count.

Iactually posted a reminder about this just before Christmas....

Yes, Big brother is always watching!

Seriously though it does have a lot to do with attitude and how responsible someone is. It has nothing to do with high post counts.

I'll vouch for the post count having no merit, I was promoted after having 50 or so posts.

"Promoted" to a mod more like sentenced...

My commiserations to those so selected or currently in the active roster... Always preferred to be a participant who could 'bend the rules' rather than a referee... (just be glad you never marked me in soccer or had the misfortune to be batting at cricket when I was in the fielding side...)

An what makes you think we can't or don't bend rules? Oh wait I know why. We make them up as we go to suit us. yea that's it

Usually someone will contact you. As always letting a mod know you're interested helps, but like once every 3 months is sufficient. Generlly though those who stand out are the ones who have something viable to input instead of posting meaningless tripe.
I mean lets face it, 80% of the posts in O/T are about as usefull as tits on a bull. Humm l like that annalogy. I must use it more often.

Post counts, trolling, and spouting off won't get you anywhere as mentioned.

But entertaining none the less.

[replicant_008]

Presuming of course my learned friend, Razor that you have to be in some ways impartial, fair and just with some self-regulation via your peers. This operates to a less extent with us plebs.


Now there are always going to be exceptions to the rule... for every Heep or Snowie we get a Taranaki and then there re are the learned plebs like Yogs who don't aspire to be mods...

[dayna240sx]

Not to be off-topic or anything, but replicant, do you usually talk with such big words? I'm a pretty smart chick, but your posts just take forever to read, mainly because I have to read them twice before I understand them at least 75%.

Is it just me or have people told you this before?

[Haibane]

I have a good idea how, SIT on your thumb and rotate

[kicker1_solo]

Rumor has it that the first 5 to reach 20,000 posts get to become a mod.
