I've tried emailing, but hey, I didn't get a reply and it's be 2 weeks so I gave up on that. So I decided to ask like this after getting my post closed because it was on the wrong board. What qualities do you need to be a moderator? Active of course, losts of posts? A completely clean record?

I'm sure you have an inbox full of applications, but this is the only forum site I'm really interested in, and I would really like to be a moderator. But I know if I email you, you'll probably tell me you already have a moderator for that board or you don't need one or better yet, you probably wont reply. I don't wanna wait unil the yea 3000 for a reply either, I applied to be a moderator on another site, only to wait 6 months to be told "We cannot accept you as a moderator because we already have a steady number of moderators on this site"

I would like to know the bets way to become a moderator and at the same time a fast way. I know you must get hundreds a day and you have to consider everyone and you have to find the time to check them all and this and that... But if I'm going to have to wait until I've lost interest to get a reply thats probably rejection anyway, just tell me now. I want to know if this is just another forum site or if it's the great site I thought it was...

First you don't have much time on this board, second one of the only reasons you might have a clean record is because you have only made 10 posts. Plus you can't apply for that posisition actually asking for it dithers your chance of ever being a moderator, Raz hates it when people ask for it. So all I an say is become an active member of the KMC community. If he needs a mod there are a list of people he can pick from and anyone on these boars can tell you who they are.

Firstly, I'm sorry if I was giving the impression that I was asking to become a moderator. I know saying "I had to ask like this" made it seem that I was asking to become a moderator, but I was simply asking them how to become one and what I would have to do to become one, not if I could be one. That WAS the TOPIC of this thread was it not?

Proof: I began by stating that I had asked this question in an email, then my first question, (the most pressing question) was 'What qualities do you need to be a moderator'. I would think as it was the first question on the board that it would be clear that I was asking THAT question.

Secondly, I never said I has a clean record, so you shouldn't have pointed the finger and said that I only have one because I've only posted 10 times. I asked what qualities you needed to have. I started by saying you have to be active of course, and then I continued with the question at hand, do you need a certain number of posts or a completely clean record. I think that was quite clear.

Sorry Raz, I wasn't asking to BE a moderator, I was asking HOW to be a moderator. Slightly different things...

lol how do you become a moderator, raz asks you wether or not you want to be one, not by telling him you want to be a moderator

well..i'm sure you had all the best intentions by asking HOW to become one, when in fact you weren't planning on wanting to be one....yep...sure..sounds plausible.

Heh... yeah... well, in any case, it is all pretty simple. If you become an established permanent member and contribute well to the board, then when Raz looks for new mods in future times you are simply more likely to be someone he either thinks is right for the job or is recommended to him by the senior mods for the job. Simple as that.

this is pretty useless imho,

can a mod/admin tell me why this is open?

mostly I would say that the best way to become a mod is... don't ask to be!

Hey just posting and having fun worked for me You should try that.

having f-un?

Eh, it's not all that worth it anyways.

That's because you were fired.

Why do people keep asking? It's not like you get paid or anything! Just because you want the power to boss people around doesn't mean you'll get it.

Trust me, I waited 2 years.

they threw you a bone, rex

I don't like bones, only meat.

I think I only asked Ush about it once, but then I didn't ask again.

ah, so it DOES work

You applied to be a moderator on a website????

I didn't even know people did that. I thought all sites worked to where the administrator hand picked people out of the forum community to be the moderators.

Hmmm.............

apperently not

I have fun here. I just dont have fun in RL!

I'll do my best to change that

Of course you will...

at least I can drive over ... well.. someday

But...you're a program...unless you somehow infect my dad's car and drive to Portugal...

I spread fast

Like a virus?

Spend 2 years here.

Yeah right Chris...

Look at all the n00bie Mods there are now.

now, THEY are spreading

do I count as a noobie mod?

depends if you like being one or not

I like being a mod...

and you're one!

n00bie mods??? http://www.killermovies.com/forums/images/moresmilies/paperbag3.gif

Really being a mod is no big deal like rex said if i was asked to be a mod of course i would take the job but really the only really cool thing to be is the admin i have my own site i mean its only got like 30 members and most of the members r people from KMC but still being a admin is kinda cool u got like a million buttons at ur finger tips and u can change what ever u want with out senior mods or admins telling u u cant do that

"With great power, comes great responsibility"

No sh**...

no, it's a quote

Alright.*sits down and waits for yerss*

well, run around till the end of the month when I'm going to try for my licence

Try for your license?!Oh boy this could take a while!

lol!
i've been wondering where the creeps came when they wanted a moderator job, and now i've found it!
itz funny, i dont think i'd wanna be a mod, i have enuff trouble trying to get the morons in MY thread to behave, i dont think i could keep the whole site in check!!

anyways, to all the existing mods, good job, this site is excellent, and to all the wannabe mods, stop brown-nosing and have fun!!
YEEEE-HAAAAA!!!!
PS: hey yerssot x

can you be a moderator

i can't.

We recruit moderators when we need them. There is no application form.

Currently we are all set for moderators, but thanks for the interest.

hysterical that made me laugh so bad

did i missunderstand the question?

That is SO gonna be the answer from now on to EVERYONE who askes about it!

if you want to be a moderator make your own forum...

*follows RK's advice* droolio

kay

oh crap! i was gonna get me some ruby shoes and click my heels three times.

Mc pee pants it won't work..........I've tried it.......stupid slippers!
*throughs them out the window*

OMG Royal Knight I love the song Vindicated!

who the hell wants all the responsibility of being a moderator?

It requires too much authority...bleh. F*ck Authority!

last thing i wuldve imagined is link saying that

I agree...I can see how the mods here and Raz have a lot of work to keep these boards up

He didn't say that to me....

shocking you see that?

maybe I should stalk them to see that too

being a moderator is cool U can abuse power.

ah, hun, I don't think that's the point in being a moderator. You don't abuse your power. You close duplicated threads, stop fights from breaking out and they merge threads together. THAT'S what being a moderator means.

Correcto mundo. I used to be one on a movie forum. But there's more to the job than just stated above, there's formulating ideas to make the site better, and tons of other important stuff. It's not as easy as you might think.

Yeah, I work my ass off while tex orders me arround

































sucker

i heard Raz was gonna hold a mod training camp net summer. 150 pounds enrollment fee to join.

I am interested in becoming a mod but just wanted to know whats steps need to be taken?

rule number one to becoming a mod, don't ask
sorry you have failedmhm

No "steps" to become one...you can't just apply or anything.
For starters I think it depends on where you post, and what you post. The mods of different forums each have a pretty good knowledge of that topic....eg movies, games, music, comics, star wars, fan fiction...and then you have to be mature enough and responsible enough to use mod powers should you be asked to have them

Become Raz's groupie...

I'm pretty sure he's all set on Mods at the moment though. So I doubt he'll be hiring more for a while.

Be a member for more than ten mins, don't ask, be a constructive member and help everyone...Raz'll close this soon.

Don't feel bad. I asked to become a mod when I first joined. Well, I more so offered my services.

I decided that now, would also be for me the right time to become a Mod, anyone disagree? YOU ARE WRONG.

Admit it, you held him cat hostage and sent him a ransom note demanding to be made a mod

I personally think the OTF should have a specific mod, rather than just the globals, but that probablly won't happen unless the OTF gets really out of control.

Peter wasn't asking to be a mod.

Ears shut?

Like initiation tests, but for the mind and attitude rather than the body? Sounds intriguing. Odd, but intriguing.

So yeah.....I used flitterpated today in real life.

I'm posting now, in advanced, to Raz.

If you're ever drunk, or high, or delusional, and for some god forbidden reason consider me to be a moderator, know now that I will not..I repeat...NOT accept.

Why would anyone want to be a moderator? It's like working for free. My friend is a mod for a different forum and he spends most of his life on that forum and doesn't get paid. A job without a salary doesn't make a lick of since to me.

I won't lie: I'd love to be a moderator. But seeing as how I've been a member for less than 2 years, I don't think I deserve such a privilege.

It's not a very hard job, either. I wouldn't even call it a job. All you're doing is cleaning up the forums you already frequent and make sure that it doesn't get sloppy. Moderators don't have to be online from 8 to 5 or anything, moreso just remain as dedicated as ever and do their duties for the duration that they are online.

And FYI, some people don't spend "most of their life" in these forums. That's just a generalization, if you ask me.

I have to agree, with everything in your post. Mod work isn't very hard. I've never been a mod on a forum of this size before but it's never been strenuous.

I wasn't saying it was hard work. But none the less it can be considered work even if only for a few hours a day. Beeping a moderator just doesn't seem that appealing to me.

It's not like you'd have to come on the forums when you wouldn't normally. You'd just post as normal but everynow and then you'd close and move a thread. It's nothing I'd consider work.

Another thing, were I to become a moderator, some of the people in the forum(s) I'd moderate wold look to me as a superior, and act as though they couldn't discuss things with me, because I'm a mod. That is something I don't want.

And plus, the closing fo threads, and possible banning people would be a power I'd probably abuse.

That's deffinetly one of the cons... A lot of people treat mods differently to regular members, they never go agaisnt what a mod says even when it's total bullshit.

Originally posted by TheKingofKINGS!
I'd just hope not to be a global. If anything, I'd take the Harry Potter forum. There's a lack of action form the current mod, and it's not getting too much attention right now. It'd be easy until book seven comes out.

And if that would happen, the new mod could OTF without being held in to high of a regard.
But you'd have to live with the shame of being mod of the HP forum.

I doubt I post enough in any forum to be eligible for a position as mod. Maybe OTF but that doesn't have a moderator and I'm not known to be the nicest of characters in that forum.

It is not easy to moderate posts. No matter how hard we try to be tactful and as gentle as possible to enforce the rules, there will always be members who take any rule enforcement as invasive of their rights. Leading isn' t easy, nor is it always a thankful job.

I imagine that is probably true... I've never really moderated a forum that has reached the public. The most members that have been on a forum I've moderated was like 500 and that was mostly just friends so there was never really a problem from the members. I imagine that a lot of members give mods shit for decisions that they disagree with.

Star Wars Roots. w00t

I pushed for the creaiton of the General Fiction section, then frequented it the most out of anyone, so Raz offered me the spot.

Not saying that would work now or ever again, but it happened. ermm

Because I know a lot about movies?

Other than a hobbies/D&D type forum which Mist suggested, there's really no need for any more.

You are also not a Mod. And there's nothing wrong with the OTF as long as you don't post in there.
The point of my post was saying that there was no way in hell I'd become one. As I don't frequent any forums outside of the OTF.

I will never be a mod coz Raz doesn't like me

It is pretty easy, though.

Moderators are chosen by the Administrator (Raz). By what reasons he goes, I do not know. But I assume, presence, rule abiding, reporting and just general attitude. Also, they (we (KMC)) is at the moment set on Moderators. Or so it is said.

Also, who wanted to be a Forum Mod anyways. That's like slave work without being cool. No offense, you know I love you folks (slaves).
