How does one become a moderator?

[bostonfrontier]

What needs to be done to become a Moderator?

[Purkeynator]

Be tapped by Cheapy D. Only the most active people on the boards have a shot.

[SuprTnr2]

Usually you have to be a regular forum contributor (with HELPFUL posts), be on the forums regularly, and then just hope that the site's webmaster hearts you ;)

[bostonfrontier]

Be tapped by Cheapy D. Only the most active people on the boards have a shot.

haha, be tapped? I'm not that kind of guy........

[Epic Wolf]

Where's Yoda ? ;) You must learn the...actually you pose a really interesting question, considering I've seen a few with the label but predominantly Ledhed, Trakan and Shrike policing around...

[bostonfrontier]

Think I have a chance?

[CocheseUGA]

Think I have a chance?

No.

[bostonfrontier]

A while back there was a thread where 2 of the moderators were going at it....... I think they were close to banning each other (LOL)

[Genocidal]

The day you become moderator is the day a large portion of CAG leaves to make their own website.

[Purkeynator]

I am not sure how Cheapy picks them. Some mods I see on all the time like Shrike. Others I rarely see online, I see regular posters post more often than some mods.

[sisco1986]

hmm some how I always thought that The Matrix was documentary of a moderator, most mod's die in the lobby though..poor bastards.

[onetrackmind]

I think cheapy d picks a couple canidates and all the mods vote on who would be the best for the job. I could be wrong but i think thats how it works.

[Ikohn4ever]

you must answer cheapy's three riddles to even stand a chance

[Maklershed]

Think I have a chance?

Werent you within inches of getting the banhammer from Ledhed last night?

[cyberlian]

Shrike is definitely the most helpful and readily available mod when I'm online. It would take 10 full-time CAG staff-members to make half the impact that Shrike does; I bet he is a hell of a worker outside of CAG.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Think I have a chance?

Not here.

[Mr.Answer]

If these mods become less active then there would probably be a 'new draft'. The mods now are very different than the mods from a year ago. Some old mods I haven't seen for many months now.

[Hex]

Think I have a chance?

Generally, you don't want the other mods to be pissed at you. :roll:

you hit the nail right on the head. Shrike does more around here than most people realize and he goes out of his way to help people too.

[Hex]

Yeah. Shrike's a good mayun. He's done a few things for me. He and Led are my favourite mods.

After that flamewar bait topic you posted yesterday, I probably have a better chance of being made a moderator than you.

[PenguinoMF]

Any updates yet?


P.S. Its not going to happen

[mykevermin]

Werent you within inches of getting the banhammer from Ledhed last night?

I don't think there's a smilie for it, but I'm tittering right now.

[uzumaki_star]

bostonfrontier, you can't just petition to be a mod on the site. CheapyD and the other mods work together to choose those that they see fit to help with the site. We found this out in another thread like this in April when they played a April Fools Joke were everyone could see the Mods Lounge.

[Genocidal]

After that flamewar bait topic you posted yesterday, I probably have a better chance of being made a moderator than you.

Which one?

[Hex]

Which one?

The anti-Eddie one.

[shipwreck]

I think there would be a lot more logical choices for moderator than you, bostonfrontier. You stir up too much crap. I'm not sure that we need anymore moderators at this point anyway. The forums seem to be under control.

[mykevermin]

Actually, someone else (another notorious damnfool thread starter not named U2K) started the "why do grown men watch wrestling?" topic.

I had some good coversation goin' too; damn shame about bf and the others (I assure you there were multiple threadcrappers in there).

Shit, that's right. I forgot about Kastides. Boston just fucked that thread up worse.

[mykevermin]

So, in the end, bf, it's a combination of circumstance (does CAG need more mods?), favortism (who do the mods recommend?), availability (are these people consistently on CAG?), and helpfulness (not only being helpful, but not being a name-calling homophobic asshole for no good reason).

I can see you succeeding in availability, but you've got a LOOONG heirarchy to climb in order to even be jokingly considered for a mod position. You probably not only have to be a far more considerate poster from now on, but you should probably publicly make amends for being such a complete and total bastard.

And at that point, would it actually be worth it to him? :)

[Cornfedwb]

Maybe I'm missing something here.. but why would one even want to be a mod? Much less actively campaign to become a mod...

[Jaket]

everyone knows jaket=#1 mod... even though you can't really tell i'm a mod anymore

[shipwreck]

I wouldn't mind being a mod because then you could just delete spam that you see, or move topics to the correct forums. I like things neat and orderly, so I think it would be nice to be able to contribute to the site in that manner.

[Maklershed]

I think if anyone should be a mod it might as well be Scorch. He seems to actively search for and report duplicate threads anyway. It'll just give him the ability to lock them too.

Just to add a few feelings of my own on the subject... someone who'd like to be mod, usually loves the site and wishes to contribute their time to the site.
A moderator isn't given power when the person is thought to be likely to abuse it.

If only that were true. This oft uttered phrase (or a slight dirivation of it) has seen the boards so often, and it's rare that such an event does occur, even if the attention does dry up.

To the OP:

Cheapy and the other current mods decide when they need another mod due to growth of the site, when one leaves CAG or "retires" from being a mod, or there's more work than needs to be handled by the current group of mods.

Cheapy and the other current mods have conversation among themselves about who they think would be a good fit for the position, people they think would be an asset to the site and offer up assistance in moderating the forums and dealing with issues related to the site. They decide on how many candidates they need, and they ask them if they accept or not. If they accept, they're made a mod. If not, then they move onto the next candidates in the list.

You can't campaign to be mod. All that will do is generate heckles and general flaming, as a few of the other posters have so graciously handed you. Cheapy and the other mods know who will make a good mod and who won't, and they'll ask those that will be good fits for the job.

And I wanted to offer a hearty thank-you for all those who given me such nice compliments. Thanks. ;)

P.S. To the OP, thanks for asking me to pay first on my attempt to work out a deal with you. Very enlightening. ;)

It doesn't really matter though... You use such big words to insult people they don't even realized you made the look dumb. No harm, no foul.

As for Jackassery- See: Jaket, SneakyPenquin, and to an extent- Punq and Shrike.

You don't have to be perfect, just be smart, honest and responsible... or in Jakets case, know Cheapy. :-P

The latest one is punqsux, which sux because he was a shoe-in for mod of the year.

After reading this, it comes as truly a shocker. Some people must have said some truly idiotic stuff to get punq out. He was great. Probably my second favorite mod after Shrike. The only other mods that I know retired were NintendoFanGirl and Sneaky (which I still don't understand how that one came about. He should have stayed and from what I could tell people should have been kinder.).

[GuilewasNK]

Yeah. That was why I asked him why he even bothered with it anymore. I have my theories about NintendoFanGirl. She was really nice and was the definition of "no gimmicks necessary" (see my custom title). She acted like a real person instead trying to act like some internet celebrity or shock jock personality.

Exactly. That's what I meant by the fact she was "no gimmicks necessary". Fun is fun but sometimes people don't know when to quit. They let their gimmick get the best of them and pretty soon that is all they are known for. That's part of the reason I like people here like epobirs, Rig and Saucy Jack just to name a few (not trying to leave other good folks out). They are just nice, decent people all the time. I can get along with most anyone but it's nice to have down to earth people here too.

GG did graduate from Le Cordon Bléu pastry program... :-k

Just got back and read through the rest of this thread. (And those OTT's)

NFG may have been a bit fed up with some of the posters on this site when she left, but she told me in a few PM's that she had other things in her life that needed more time spent on them. She was always very nice, and I was sad to see her go. (Plus, she worked at Nintendo...can't beat that!)

There are still a lot of people on here that I enjoy seeing/reading their posts. Of course, if there wasn't, I wouldn't stay on here all the time! (Guile, you definitely come to mind first and foremost.)

The mods we have here do a very good job, and I respect them for doing so.

[JSweeney]

I'm pretty sure she left, because CAG went from this friendly place to share deals and videogame discussion, to "I'm an asshole and everyone's gonna know it." people coming in everyday. It just wasn't her style or something she wanted to be around.

Excellently stated, zewone.
Though really, it seems like it was localized to the off topic areas for quite a while, as the talk of exploits and return fraud had really tapered off.

How does one become a moderator? The Answer lies with the Holy Grail.

The Lady of the Lake, [angels sing] her arm clad in the
purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of
the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Shrike4242(insert other mods), was to
carry Excalibur. That is why I am your Moderator!

Listen -- strange women lying in ponds distributing
swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive
power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some
farcical aquatic ceremony.

Well, we can't have him wield supreme executive power
just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at him!

I mean, if I went around sayin' I was a moderator just
because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd
put me away!

Bostonfrontier would make a TERRIBLE mod

Why is everyone referring to bf as 'he'? IIRC, 'he' mentioned in one of the OT forums that 'he' was a 'she'. Did I miss something or did bf get a sex change? :-s

It's news to me.

[shrike4242]

It's news to me.
Ditto here.

Then again, until I have a shipping address in-hand, it's still up in the air. And even then, it's never guaranteed.

When in doubt, refer to other CAGs as it.

[Zenithian Legend]

I'm only 100% sure that bostonfrontier is more likely to be banned than become a mod

[craven_fiend]

Ditto here.

Or those there people over yonder on the intraweb.

[2poor]

It's pretty obvious that boston is just doing this to get people riled up.

*sigh*

I wish he'd just get banned.

ditto

[bostonfrontier]

wow, I just checked this thread for the first time since this morning..........seems to have gotten a lot of responses to it

I've always been good at making people express their feelings

[Trakan]

bostonfrontier, if you were to become a mod, you'd have to deal with people like yourself, which you probably wouldn't want to deal with. In all seriousness, there are far more qualified candidates for moderator.

As far as SneakyPenguin goes, I think he took a break from the site. I'm not sure if he's coming back, but if he does, it won't be as a moderator.

And always remember the CheapyD quote - "Don't call us, we'll call you."

Finally someone said it, and it only took all of 6+ pages (for me I am on the 3rd post, 7th page).

I have a shipping address for bostonfrontier in hand and I still can't tell you the gender.

*cough* well, hello there :lol:

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Why is everyone referring to bf as 'he'? IIRC, 'he' mentioned in one of the OT forums that 'he' was a 'she'. Did I miss something or did bf get a sex change? :-sJust because bf said that doesn't make it true. From the posts I would say 13 year old male, but you never can tell.

[shrike4242]

And with that, since Trakan and I both said that people would be contacted about modship, I think we've beat this horse as dead as it can get.
