Ive always wondered how new mods/admins are chosen for the boards.

What is the process like?

there is no process we are all Ythan puppets. Honestly though if a forum is in need of a mod we simply make suggestions  and hope everyone agrees then hope it works out...it's not rocket science or nothing.

It seems partly a popularity thing.  If you are generally well liked by the majority of mods, who are users first, than if your name gets dropped, there is a high chance the majority are in favour

I've seen a lot of the interesting choices over many years.

I used to think I'd enjoy being a mod, since I have a damn near photographic memory and lurk an unhealthy amount lol, but I'm pretty sure I'd decline an offer these days.  They get shit on a lot.

Yeah, it's a pretty fucking thankless job. The only nice thing anyone has said to be in the 6 months or so since I became one was this:

Jokeshop is a natural at the social forums, which is often a tough spot to fit because not many on our staff handle the social stuff well or even want to. There was a bit of skepticism because he is fairly new, but my God I am glad we have him. He is one of a very select few who have a real feel for the social side of this community, and the willingness to learn to mod.



Between that one comment, and knowing I'm helping the only community I've ever truly felt at home in, it's kinda worth it. The initial hazing was fucking harsh though.

I imagine that being a mod is complete shit, getting shit on by users constantly, constant work (that everyone always hates and disagrees with), and zero gratitude. I've seen the way mods are treated on here. The idea sounds about as palatable to me as eye surgery.

Having said that, it would be cool to see inside all the secret mod only forums

I used to want to be a mod but recently I realized just like being a supporter

Definitely. Being a supporter is the best :thumbup:

They need more cool supporter features though. I don't care what they are or what they do or how useless they are, I just want more damn it :crankey:

I never wanted to be a Shift leader/Team Leader/Mod/etc - anyone with 'authority' of any sorts basically. But somehow I always end up being one...

For you guys that support - how often do you buy your supporter accounts?

Truth. I saw the mod forum before when some thing Andy did gave a bunch of us mod access. Being a mod seems like a thankless job. I come here to chill & blow off steam, not work. I am grateful to those that do take up the banstick though. :cheers:

I've bought a a year one for myself once and was given a year free from the administration at one point.

I've bought around 55+ for other people (mostly one month but a few 6 month)


I've been slacking with that but finances have gotten a lot harder in my life past year.

I plan on buying more soon

Yeah, it is. It's pretty slow too. There's a few gems there though.

The Admin forum is even slower, but the conversation is better, especially when you go back a long time.
