It appears that a large number of staff are chosen for their language skills, which allow them to moderate regional boards.

Report a lot of posts and be a very active member of the community and theymos may ask you eventually.

Out of curiosity, how active were most staff members prior to being asked? Does he he count alt accounts?

Not sure about the other staff members, but hilariousandco was spamming nearly 1000 good reports in 2 months and annoyed the mods.

I don't think his reports were an annoyance. His reports were good and helped the mods enforce the rules.

Think he was just being sarcastic.

Yup I was being sarcastic only and hilariousandco has done a great job. I thought it was obvious with the italic spamming and annoyed.

I assume part of it includes not making threads like this one.

That's brutal.

Maybe you were trying to shape the forum the way you want it to be, disregarding forum guidelines?
