I didn't say that at all. What I am saying is that they were both definitely considered for mod long before this meetup. I'm also saying that you don't know everything that goes on. :)

Being a good poster is an excellent way to get into our good graces.

Modship anywhere on the web is always sought by users, but never understood until received. I 've been a moderator on IGN, and a few other web commandos. Personally, its not the same experience once you've become a mod as it was when you were a user - Its usually better. :)

No matter if its on the web or not, when you have the power; it feels good. Although, with great power comes great responsibility, yadda yadda yadda. The key to becoming a mod is to be an active model poster - Having connections is some nice icing on the cake, yet most people aren't so desperate to drive out to an admins house and ask for a moderator status. If you do resort to such measures, know you are dedicated but insane beyond humanly possible limits.

I know that.
I posted to someone saying that they only should mod people he knew or something. Ah whatever, I'm quite tired.

I suppose you can see that in my posts as I forget to end some of them. =/

lol Just knowing a few mods that are up in the ranks, chatting with Wade on occasion and taking his side. Being a decent person, there is a bit more to it, but that is about it.

Hell, I'll admit it right now, I had no clue who you were before you were modded, TBF, Neph, TBF, and a few others. Hell, I still don't know half of you mods, who you people really are.

I have no doubt about that, especially in Aveiwaskewed's case. However i guess for Uber's case, he was review mod for a time, but by BBS mod, man, didnt anyone read his posts? Fuck, he was a vicious bastard half the time, i simply dont understand the "promotion".

I'm also saying that you don't know everything that goes on. :)

Well, i dont know how to take that statement, its very very cryptic, and i know you meant it be like that, swine >:)

Singing peoples graces doesnt always get you or them what you want though.

Also, i dont know you very well, if at all, dont take me talking like this as a personal attack, its not.

We have had a lot of people asking to be made a MOD. From our experience people who ask to be given priveledges ususally aren't the type of people who should have them.

That´s right

The way this will work is if we need more MODs the current MODs will nomiate someone. So if you have an interest in being a moderator your best chance to become one is not to ask to be one!

Good, point for me.

Also be a model poster

Aww, I´m screwed.

act mature

Great, point for me.

help point out problems to the current mods if they seem to have over looked something (but don't be pesty about it), etc.

Ohh well, I dont think I want to become a mod since I´ll be leaving Ng for good to study in other city.

Yes, but I'm not to be a future mod, that is left to the other fine people on this BBS. The point I'm trying to make is that, the way I see it, the next mod should be someone that most people know. I'm not questioning how or why some of you current mods got your possition, I'm just saying that some of you should be little better known before modding.

Out of all the mods now, I only really know ramagi, RedCircle, Denvish, Maus, Dobio, Ozcar, very little of Syko, and that's it. The rest of you, I haven't the slightest clue who you really are.

The rest, I have really no clue. Being a well known, and good person across the BBS, not just one forum, would make alot more people happier on who get's modded.

I mean hell, the last few mods really only frequent the General board, and a little bit of the Wi/Ht?, and a few minutes in the C&C.

I'm sure most know that by now.

The rest of the users that have been modded, who have met Wade, were already up for nomination beforehand.

Because of referals from other mods. You become good buddies with the current mods, then you might have a chance at becoming one.

Are you serious? Whats this shit about DS ive been hearing then?

The rest of the users that have been modded, who have met Wade, were already up for nomination beforehand.

Well i would hope thats the case, because we have some good mods i cant deny that, some who will listen, some will just ban you, i hope most nominees are scrutinised very closely indeed.

Becoming buddies with the mods will not bring you closer to becoming one, but acting mature in front of them will...........

I know I'll never be mod... or at least considered to be in the running for modship... I'll just leave that into fate's hands. I'f I'm modded, yay. If not, no big deal... Sure I've talked about wanting to be one at some point or another, but I just know I'm deluding myself-_-

Shouldnt you just help around and be like a sub-mod? Like help mods with things And help other users too.

if you don't know who I am, and you have 8000 posts, I have no frickin clue where you were hiding the last 2 years.

I know just about everyone now, cept for Tanner ( well I mean, I know who he his but I have never really talked and like... Olskoo, because he was gone maybe 2-3 months after I started posting.
Oh and maybe Jonas doesn't know me. I don't know if I ever talked to him when I was in the politics crew.

LOOK
my point is that, if you don't know the mods, its your own damn fault.

No, most of the time mods find it annoying when n00blettes try to become a mod by "helping"

And there's a perfect example right there. Oh the maturity. I personally would like to become a mod but know the chances are almost 0 and know I wouldn't be a good mod anyway. I'd be worse than DanMalo :-P

Ok well than plan number 2 is post on every thread so they can see you are a very active member and that you would be able to be on alot. I dont know. But anyway have fun haha

but then you'd just become forum troll........so basically no, the best way is to not be a n00b in a way everyone can understand.....

But the mods hait backseat modding and probably get annoyed when the kids IM them about insignificant stuff. NegativeONE sig says it the best "Reportserious forumn abuse to..."

No, I'm not saying that. What I'm trying to say is that there are alot of good users out there that would with time become great mods. You just have to get to know them better.

Yes, it helps to become 'buddies' with the moderators, but at the same time, it helps MORE to be a good poster that the mods can RECOGNIZE. You don't have to be buddies with them to stand out from the other posters.

Yes, but being a good poster means some, but not as much as being buddies with you all. Making good posts is one thing, being good friends is another.

I'm sure you'd rather have a good friend that you know helping you out with, oh say working on a car, which that person might know little about, then working with a total stranger, one who you have never met in life, who knows all there is to know about cars, helping you fix one.

You are more of a General person, thus you stay in here for most, if not all of your posts, besides that Club-A-Club Club you made.

I am a C&Cer/ Wi/Ht?er for the most part, and I don't really frequent General because its sad to see all the foolishness that goes on in here.

I'm sure you feel different, but this is just my oppinon on General. And, for the most part you don't really open up too much. I see you making witty remarks, or all angry. Besides, you wouldn't really want to know a AAHC member, now would you?

I know just about everyone now, cept for Tanner ( well I mean, I know who he his but I have never really talked and like... Olskoo, because he was gone maybe 2-3 months after I started posting.
Oh and maybe Jonas doesn't know me. I don't know if I ever talked to him when I was in the politics crew.

Heh, Tanner is around little, but not when you are on, Olskoo probably left the net for good seeing how is last post was in September of last year, and Jonas because his is never on, even if he is, it's only for 10 mintues because he hasn't the cpu to do so.

LOOK

rofl

my point is that, if you don't know the mods, its your own damn fault.

Yes, I'll agree it's partly my fault, but you should be out there letting other people know who you are, not waiting for them to know you. Setting an example is what a mod is all about, right?

There is no contest here.

And I'd just like to say Congratulations to aviewaskewed for becoming a mod. It's about damn time.

What ever happened to the days where forums would pass potential nominees through numerous hazardous trials before they are granted modship? Actually I'll stop right there, cuz I don't want to end up in a discussion about initiation processes... I don't want to know what the mods do :x
