How to become a Mod?

So how does someone become a moderator? Is it by how many postings? How long they've been a member? Do you guys meet up or something?

Just wondering!

Being a moderator is not all about how many posts a person has, how long they have been a member or even to ammount of knowledge...although that does play some part.

Its mainly all about how a person is on the forums, how they interact with other members, how they help to deal with situations in a thread, provding good help...not letting things get personal or let personal feelings play a part in making a decision or carrying out action..

No, we dont get paid. We do this for fun and enjoyment. Sometimes this is not seen by people, especially when there is an issue. We are volunteers here and accept the role of moderator when its presented to us because we WANT to do, not because we have too..

Personaly, i find it a joy and an honour to be first and foremost a member.. but also a member of staff here on AC, even though i've had my own downtimes, but, the good times far far out-weight to the bad. We have a huge member base here and its full of great members indeed, its the members who make a forum what it is, not really the staff, and thats why all of us members deserve a pat on the back for making Aquaria Central what it is today, and what it will be tomorrow..

Hope that helps

Niko

exactly what Niko said plus paypaling me some money usually helps. LOL
 
I've heard that if you PM Neo expressing that your favourite colour is red, he'll mod you... but if you say his name and turn around three times in front of a mirror he'll demote you to demi-member.
 
you know, i heard, that if you stand in times square on new years eve, in your underwear screaming I love Neo, ..that your a shoe in!
