Someone on the default trust list needs to put you on their trust list.

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. This is also not what I was asking. I was asking about actual helpful posts not bad post reports

[hilariousandco]

Think he was just being sarcastic.

Well their levels of 'activeness' will have all been different, but being active is probably the biggest requirement (but that comes along with reporting lots of posts). If you look at the table with the most reports some of the pre-existing staff hadn't reported that many (MiningBuddy only had 108 in July for example). And by taking alt accounts into consideration do you mean the total of reports over them all?

I am talking about the activeness as in participating and contributing to the community (like answering questions and contributing to discussions) as my alts that I have for sale/are making posts to get to higher ranks do this(one account that I am farming even got a very special reward), while I only have one that will generally report posts.

You have reported 13 posts with 54% accuracy

Surprised at the success ratio. Safe to say, not going to be asked to join the hallowed group anytime soon

[hilariousandco]

Yes, you have to be actively participating, but probably don't have to be as active as me for instance. If you're seen as a helpful and rational person I guess it will help though. Reporting lots of posts but not actually posting much probably isn't very good. You also might be in a tricky situation or grey area with farming and selling accounts. If you sell an account and it goes on to spam or scam and it's tied to you somehow I don't think that will look very good. And what do you mean very special reward? From a user or the admins? (though maybe you don't want to say).

I will PM it to you. It was from a user, although the user is somewhat close to the admins.

I think you are right about the farming accounts, although I checked maybe ~1.5 months ago and none but maybe 2 or 3 out of 50+ received any kind of negative trust/scam accusation, although I don't think the whole bayuo/zedicus case is helping my cause.

[Brewins]

Just observe hilariousandco for some time and mimic him.

Also spend 12h+ on forum

[bitboy11]

It likely requires a lot of activity and a good command of the English language.

But that's still two or three accounts that are (potentially) linked to you. I'm sure theymos vets in users in some capacity before he asks them and if he sees that there's several alts with scam accusations against them it won't look very good (though sometimes false positives will come up so it depends on other factors too).

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

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?
