how can i be a forum moderator?

[shorena]

I meant exactly that by a couple of coins but i don't see what is wrong there ? i just missed the exchange part which is of no use cause eventually its btc.I think people who are interested and share interests on forums (either this or any general one) are suitable to become mods and that money is just a bonus.But here at bitcointalk you have an opportunity to become one because of the language barrier and this being a global forum.So lottery still has a chance for his local section same like lauda ,if he is good.

Then your assumption is wrong. Moderators and patrollers do not earn a couple of coins because that would imply that they "earn" more than $1k a month. As far as being a local moderator goes, currently the chances are slim because all sections have at least 1.

I dont think there is demand either, but lottery248 has a good time zone. They essentially start posting when the majority of the european mods go to sleep. That might be a factor if there is demand again.

Well yes and no. The only lack of moderation that might be present is around 5 - 7 AM GMT +1. We have mods (hello mr. Robot) that go to sleep very late and some that wake up early (e.g. me). However, you have a point. In case that we do require more people on the team someone with his hours would be 'optimal'. Again, I'm pretty sure that I could handle 2x workload ATM (most of the time I'm 'bored' due to lack of reports).

John K. was a forum moderator and was handling escrows, keeping ~1000 BTC for the forum when he was 21...

A 21 year old is better for such a job than a 14 year old imo. 21 year olds are legally responsible, whereas a 14 year old is not should something go wrong. In addition to this, I doubt that someone moderating the forums when they haven't gone through/are going through hormonal changes isn't the best idea.

Well not exactly sure about age either, seems he was most likely under 18 when he started the forum(becoming a Global moderator soon enough, in around a year prolly).

P.S: Really off-topic but what is it I hear about John K. being an admin(most possibly demoted in that case)?

If you have to ask ..don't even bother.

I would bet my left nut you are an  18 / 19 yr old kid from some country with broken Engrish LOL
I can guess peoples age in 2 sentences hahahh

I highly doubt you would have the faintest clue what it takes to moderate big site with lots of users.

Kids just salivate at the concept of being made a big bad moderator..
And the older users avoid it LOL
Hmmm i wonder why

i wanna what i need to do to become a form of this kind of forum moderator.
i really need to gain some money to support my daily lives, if moderator has wages, it could be suitable for me to work in here.

any advice?

Successfully report lots of posts, be a genuinely useful member of the community.

Oh & don't beg & declare that you're struggling financially.

If you have to ask you are doing it wrong already. This is mostly a thankless job (community wise) and you are going to be hated upon by bad actors. If you really have to know all it takes is having a high amount of reported posts and a high accuracy (correctly reported posts). In order to stand out ATM you need to have a few thousand reported posts. Even then this is not a guarantee because right now (from my point of view) there is no need for patrollers, not to mention moderators. There are usually 0 or < 5 reports to handle.

There is also this:

i am not that reliable

i really need to gain some money to support my daily lives, if moderator has wages, it could be suitable for me to work in here.

Get a real job. Moderators here do not get paid, they get rewarded for their contributions. You can't even earn minimum wage this way because some a very active (e.g. CyrusV, Mitchell, Lauda).

got it, however, did you get paid for doing so? ???
i need to build up more reputation on this forum now, see ya.

Your reputation does not play a role at all. I had none when I joined the start and still have none.

I find you a reputable person. So that makes it that you had none but have one
