How to Become a Moderator on PMC

Rules & Guidelines for the forums.

First, I will explain what NOT to do:

How NOT to become a moderator on PMC

1. Spamming the forums asking how to become a moderator on PMC will NOT get you to be a moderator.
2. Getting a high level with experience points will NOT get you to be a moderator.
3. Complaining that you are qualified and should have become a moderator already will NOT get you to be a moderator.
4. Sending PMs to the other moderators begging for moderator status will NOT get you to be a moderator.
5. Being a mini-moderator and telling people off in the forums for breaking the rules will NOT get you to be a moderator.
6. Being a troll on the forums or on the chat will NOT get you to be a moderator
7. Getting "noticed" by having the most warnings by any PMC member will NOT get you to be a moderator

Now. Helpful suggestions on how you might POSSIBLY be asked to be a Moderator.

1. Read the Site, Submission, and Chat rules and do your best to follow them.
2. Be active on the forums. Post new topics, make them ON topic and interesting. Put them in the proper forum sections. Don't swear, troll or otherwise be a jerk.
3. When people ask for help, offer help if you can. Don't point and laugh, no matter how dumb YOU think the question is. Everyone started as a n00b once.
4. If you notice a post is breaking one of the rules, report the post using the report button. Don't post a whole new topic on how someone is breaking the rules.
5. Help out the current moderators by taking a look at the skins, projects, texture packs, mods and blogs. Report anything that's spam, inappropriate, wrong, incomplete, stolen or in the wrong section. If something is stolen, remember to include proof.
6. Be respectful of everyone, moderators and other users. Don't participate in flame wars

The above suggestions WILL get you noticed by the moderators. New moderators are chosen based on need and moderator recommendations. The best way to get recommendations is to do the above things, not by asking to become one.

I hope that clears up the process of how new moderators are chosen!

This should indeed get almost everyone to follow the rules and be helpful. Just like on a server if you say, you have to possibility to be a Mod but you have to play and build around. Usually the response is always something like, "No problem!!!!"

me, in particular? it goes through cycles. I'll get nothing for a day or three, then 5 or 10 of them (several of those are friends of the first guy offering their support.) Then it quiets down again. The thing is, *I* don't make those choices, so I just shrug and think "whatever." I figure it's due to the fact that I'm one of the more active moderators on the forums, so people know my name before the other mods. ;)

(see Zar? I'm gonna beat your number of posts! Better start catching up dude!)

In my honest opinion, and not asking, I think I could be a moderator, but I'm not even going to ask, and being a GOOD moderator is not easy!

Some people think moderating is just a TITLE so people think you're amazing and all awesome and rainbows & unicorns, but it's NOT. It's a very hard task, being moderator means MODERATING something, which is not a easy task, you need to check every topic on the forums to see if they follow the rule protocole of the website, some projects, respond to those "asking for moderator" mail...

Well, good luck with the responses you need to read Carole and other moderators x)
