I have 83% accuracy with 115 posts reported.
Report more. You have made some contributions however it is pretty dwarfed by a lot of other
people's contributions which would be more deserving of a moderator spot.
rickbig41 did become a moderator, but on that list, he's got >10x your report totals within those 4 months.
Rickbig is a perfect example of a user being promoted to meet the obvious demand. Rickbig didn't have anywhere near the amount of top reporters but every morning when I woke up there would be dozens of reports by him on spambots and sometimes they'd been there for hours and no staff were awake to simply nuke them. Thus it made sense to make him a mod as one in that time zone was obviously needed. I used to nuke easily ten to twenty bots in the morning alone and since he has been made a mod I've hardly nuked any at all. If you want to be a mod then show that you are required or would be beneficial and keep reporting as that's pretty much the only way you'll be considered and is by far the best barometer to show us that you would be a worthwhile addition to staff.
How much a lowlife mod would get every month? a.k.a me for instance. I just need more credit than 5 sMerits every 30 days, my life has no purpose. (holy jumping stuff is another story).
Merit stats are public, everybody could monitor my sent merits but theymos only gave me 5, he said that he would check on merit sources and their sent merits periodically, but that is just too much of work for one man, contribute by monitoring merit sources, ask theymos or a mod for their list, if you see a source has made a mistake, tell them about it.
I can also see that some good quality posters participate in those spam filled threads because I believe they have no choice. "If you cannot beat them, join them".
They have a choice a.k.a not posting.
(what was that? a man has got to eat right? that man would have low rank accounts and if you find low rank members with crappy post history, reporting their posts would help you to join the don theymos_leone's family).
