How to become a Mod?

[hilariousandco]

I tried very hard, reported ton of accurate reports but last some time got discourage so stop reporting so much.
Still confuse what is the exact procedure for become a mod.

Why would you be discouraged? The way to become one has already been addressed here several times but there are no guarantees and if you stop reporting then that's not a good sign as there are many users who will continue to do so and it is likely they will be the ones chosen when/if we need more mods.

I already reported more then 1200 reports and have good accuracy of 94% too. But last 1 month not reported much. Just some otherwise mostly reported report on market section was mine. Will try to encourage myself and starting report again.

Well there is no magic number but there are probably a few others with a similar or exceeding figure as well but not reporting much will likely put you further behind for the possibility.

Wow. I have reports 35 posts. I am always looking for spam, but I never find any

Does anyone know the overall stats (that are more up to date) for reports and accuracy? I am right around 870 reports and just under 94% accuracy.

[hilariousandco]

Only theymos (and maybe BadBear) will have access to those. I would like to see them though as I'm sure many others would too.

I definitely would love to see those stats.

It was a joke, good grief.

You said you weren't a fascist pig, so I said denied.

LOL.  I didn't even get that one.

Ah, thanks. That made me feel much less thick.

It might have been related to this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=982509.0 ("badbear is a fascist pig", by .why) - I guess KaChingCoinDev just wouldn't fit in.

Sadly not, I wonder whether I passed hilarious yet. Id imagine since hes a mod now he can act instead of reporting.

Still have to report everything that isn't in my sections (minus newb posts/reports on them) though most of the stuff I was reporting was in the sections I now mod so I'm sure someone could catch up.

You shouldn't be reporting posts just because you want to become a mod, you're helping maintain the forum with what you're doing already. The truth is, as long as the reports you make are being dealt with in a timely manner, there isn't much of a reason to expect anything to change. Reports are fairly straightforward to handle and it seems like all the non-local sections are pretty well maintained at the moment.

Also, speaking from experience, those who actively try to become mods don't usually make very good ones. Surprisingly, those who don't consider it until they're offered the position make the best ones.

In beginning I was also doing for helping forum. but later when Theymos posted stats about report I got encourage and was thinking to become mod.
So I was doing extra for reporting. But now I am normal again don't care if I will become mod or not. If I see wrong thread I report.

Reporting isn't the only factor, anyway theymos will only bring in new faces if there is demand. At the moment the moderators seem to be doing ok. Although, I'm not sure why someone would be so eager to be a forum moderator, it's a tough job. I report frequently and have to take small breaks because of how much time it takes up. Imagine doing that every single day, dealing with hundreds of posts. It's stressful. You've got to be made out of something special to become one. Maybe you have to eat some bear meat, I heard the paws and thigh of the bear are considered the best parts.

Sure everyone fantasizes about becoming mod, but it's not as easy as it seems. I'm not saying they don't enjoy it because I'm sure they do. The attitude your carrying isn't a great impression though, if you want moderator you got to keep at it, even if you think theymos as got aa grudge against you. Someone who keeps sticking at something even though they don't believe it's getting them anywhere, might just be that special type of person. But what do I know.
