One good way to become a mod is be one of it's most frequent users when it needs a new mod (namely the HP forum) or being at the forefront of creating a new forum.
According to Rogue and captian Rex, at least.

I would be reliable then 😂
I am on here a lot!!

There's more to it than simply being online a lot.

- Proving to be reliable
- Proving to be knowledgable about the forum you mod and/or being a frequent poster in there
- Building up and maintaining a relatively good reputation
- Proving to be discreet and trustworthy

And etc. Being a member for a long while also helps. As does doing a lot for KMC in general or the specific forum in particular.

And then there's also the old rule of asking to be a mod will not get you anywhere.

Well pretty much everything have been said on how to become a mod.

The real question now is....how in the world did I became a mod. confused1

Some Mysteries are never solved.

So I'm basically screwed.

Being banned is not good for being a Mod...

Also, why in the world would you write "became".

Anyways, I still maintain if I just stay here long enough sooner or later it will happen. Despite frequently getting banned....yeah, I am arrogant. Also, I quite like myself. Also, I quite like the word "also".

Well i may not have shown a good example when i first became a member on here, but i am certainly reliable😛
Is it actually possible then that in time, if i showed this, i could become a moderator? I am serious about things, do things well when it comes to being one that is in charge of handling things. 🙂 When i act maturely, i am sure people will see this😄 So i can try to do that a lot more.😛 I can be silly, but also serious about things, wheres a lot can't. 😛 Don't people get a try out to see if they are capable of doing the job? I have not noticed a lot of squabbling etc on here so it should be pretty easygoing😄 Oh and i love to write, type things up😂

No offence but you've been on the forum for a month. There is no chance in hell you'll becoming a mod anytime soon. Simply because no one knows who you are. I 've probably not even been on long enough, not that I've proved myself to be worthy of such a role anyway.

Have you even been on long enough to know who the current moderators and administration are?

Oh no, if you read what i said, i did say eventually, in time. Not just now. I understand that. Anyone can say they are reliable, but may not be, as i understand. You got me wrong 😂
I do not expect to become a moderator until I know that i will last on here, not ware off it. If it sounded like i was asking to become a mod now, no, i was meaning in another 9 months or so, when everyone knows who i am🙂 I have to make myself probably reliable by being on here for about a year or so first😄

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.............

- damnit
- in that case, I should run the forum eyes
- damnit (does infamy count?)
- damnit

disgust

I think that I hold all of those qualities. However, I'm still, for lack of a better word, young in the ranks of KMC and I have yet to prove all of this to the powers-that-be. There are more qualified individuals with more time here than me, I'm sure, but I'm still very enthusiastic.

Oh, well. I'll just keep posting as ever. 🙂

You're such a brown-nose tongue12

Shh. Don't tell anyone. 🥷

Oops. The damage has been done oh

will never be Mod w00t

You know what the OTF Needs? A Mod.

ermm

😆 Never going to happen it seems.

Eh, being a mod is a point of authority and regulation, not some award for being a good poster, to soin2cal in particular: Do you think you've got what it takes to bring half these posters in line when they feck around?
