Just curious, Getting A rank

[lightlord]

Hello I am wondering, how does someone come a moderator on these forums or global moderator?
Lets say I wanted to help out and be a moderator? Could I just ask for it? Or do I have to do something
amazing in contribution to yield that?

As I would like to be a moderator searching for bad posts, deleting them, managing things, I could help out.
Though just curious that's all

Though something to note, moderator takes volunteer work, managing things, I am willing to volunteer,
that's the forums gain and my loss. And perhaps could use another moderator.

You don't ask to become a moderator, you get asked to become a moderator. In other words, don't call us, we'll call you.

I was asked to moderate Bitcoin Discussion because of a decent time online, good history of correct reports, and covering a different timezone than the other mods. Got offered Global mod after proving myself to moderate that forum correctly and being able to handle trolls/offtopic and the like well.

You've been registered for nearly a year with 3 days online, and only one report this year so you aren't reading a lot of posts or spend much time here, so I don't see how you could be a very effective mod. If you're going to ask for it you should have a specific plan or idea of how you can help the forum.

90% or so of all moderation here is done without us having ever received a report. That's how important it is to just straight up read posts. The best way of proving yourself is to familiarize yourself with the rules (which are pretty much just that a post must be on topic, but there are other things that are more discretionary) and then reporting posts that you come across that violate said rules before a moderator has a chance to see the post. Doing that proves two very important things:
1) You understand the rules and won't abuse your power as a moderator.
2) We don't have enough moderation coverage during the times that you are online.

If anyone wants to know, we're always on the lookout for people who are online between 3 AM and 7 AM Eastern US time to be moderators. As it is, quite a bit goes unchecked during those times, despite the fact that we still get a surprising amount of posts during that timeframe.

Free reign to post off-topic replies for HOURS!

You don't ask for it. This applies to all Internet forums.
