I really like this one... 1) How is it determined when a person becomes a mod? Invite, application, post count, make Neo a sandwich or....?
The staff decides who has the capabilities to be a moderator and this is only when we really need additional staff members. This includes activity level partake in the forum (not post counts), contributions to the site (not in monetary value), personality and ability to handle situations especially where your persona is involved. If you cannot act levelheaded and be impartial in situations, then your credibility and capability is put in question. Overall, it takes maturity to be part of the staff.
Sorry copied it cause I have a request that Cohazard be next in line. Not that I think he'd make a sandwich or anything.
