Requesting Moderator privileges

[Lauda]

You need to report a lot of posts with a decent accuracy to be considered for being a mod. What are your current stats? And as others have said asking to be a mod is usually the wrong way to go about it. Put in the effort reporting posts and being active and maybe it'll pay off in the future.

Asking to be a moderator doesn't really work as far as I know. A lot of factors are involved and usually the admin invites one to join. I have not seen a single report from this account. Either he is rarely reporting or he is not reporting any posts made by newbies. I also do not think that we need more patrollers though. There are quite a lot and the report list is rarely bigger than 2-3 reports (if you ignore local boards that take longer occasionally).

Yeah and I guess not be involved much in the disputes like QS did, he also had a quite high reporting accuracy but wasn't considered for mod, but that was before he got involved in the escrow drama.
Anyway what was your reporting accuracy before you got the "Chosen one" title from lord theymos?

The accuracy doesn't matter that much (just needs to be higher than the number listed). There isn't a exact number, some even say that 60-70% is enough. There are a lot of people with 95% with a high number of reports (e.g. I have 98%). I do not think that involvement in drama matters though if you're a reasonable person. However, don't expect some troll/flamer/whatnot to receive a position though. I was banned in the past, and yet here I am.

I do hope that that is sarcasm or something. This is public information and I posted about it sometime in 2014.

My accuracy is 80%
It was around 60 a week or so ago

And how many posts have you reported?

in their profiles.

saltyspitoon is 12 years old. and LZ lives in the blockchain. :v

That is pretty common.


And that is just the easiest qualification (first of the three) to become a mod. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=164822.0 jk

Second one is to report around 10000 posts with 99.999% accuracy (not worth trying unless you are really interested)

and Third is flattering theymos.

[Brad Harrison]

You have reported 7 posts with 100% accuracy

Whoop I will be a mod soon

Judging from the fact that it apparently jumped 20% in "a week or so", I'd say it's probably a small amount. Maybe 20ish?

Hello administrators, I am interested in joining the staff in clearing up the spam from the forum, I have been on the forum for a while and i have experience moderation a high-spam forum
I would be interested in moderating the micro earnings and/or the alternative crypto boards

So you're now a Full Member & think you have earnt the right to become a moderator? There are trustworthy posters who have been here for over 3-4 years who aren't mods.

Sorry bro but you're going to be disappointed in this quest.

I think moderators are chosen from their forum rank and behavior not by putting themselves forward.

Good for you though putting yourself forward its very commendable, I agree that the forum could do with cleaning up.

Why not continue your good deed of reporting spam posts to the moderators and let them do their works? You can also help by doing that. I think applying for the position is not realy necessary unless you want some incentives from it. They can promote you to the position if you really are doing a good job in doing it so yea. Just do what you have to do.

That is most certainly not enough. I have reported 100 something posted so far with 96%accuracy and I'm not a moderator. You will need to report more posts and with very high accuracy before being promoted to moderator. There also needs to be a section that needs a moderator for anyone to be promoted.

Yeah and at least more than 1k at the very least I'd say, for theymos to even go for as to think about your name. Once you got that down try keeping your post accuracy.

Its not only about number of reports and accuracy. As knightdk points out there must be need for a moderator. You must also be active during the needed times. What good is a new moderator that is active when other mods are active as well and no reports are left to handle.

If you want to help out the forum and the mods, write reports. If there is demand the admins will contact the people they deem fit for the job.

How does one find out what their "accuracy" is?

Click the report to moderator button at the bottom right of everyone's post.

Well, I think that only reporting posts is not enough for being a moderator, a more important factor is having trust (or a untrusted person would have control of everyone's posts, and he may scam!). OP is a member in default trust depth 4, with black trust when viewed in default trust (depth 2), however I don't think this trust rating is enough. At least the member needs to be in depth 2/3 and dark green trust in depth 1/2 to be very trusted here.

By this logic the only people able to be Moderators or staff would be those who trade. I fail to see how trading with someone would make a person more eligible for being Staff over someone else that didn't.

Yeah, I didn't have much trust before I got made a mod nor was I on default trust (and a few mods still aren't).

theymos does this background check before promoting members to staff.  
Qualifications does not include positive trust feedbacks, or being on default trust (but include number of posts reported, accuracy %, familiarity of the forum, rules, various boards and other ninja skills). That said there is absolutely no way a scammer would get promoted to staff.


How do I know? Just guessing.
