Well seriously! Who choses the mods? Where do they come from? Do you log on one day and suddenly find you're a mod? Or do you just know, inside?
Just wondering,
W.

They are AI. They don't actually exist.

Misha and wlonh pick people based on their current whims.
Rubbing their bellies, like Demonhood did, seems to help.

I'm not sure, but the last thing I remember was "If you build it they will come" but see, that was when I was on some serious pain killers after surgery.
Edit: What did I just say?

Am I still here?

Anyways... From what I've seen, an admin starts a thread in the forum where the mod is needed asking for people to e-mail him/her (?) and then they choose based on experience or other things...

Gorgonzola was nominated from and by the general populace, and was a good choice.

And afterwards, he rose quickly through the ranks to eventually become the big cheese.

Some of us have been around from a long time ago, when the forums started, and mods were needed and chosen based on how much they claimed to know. Luckily, they weren't lying!

Most of them are ex-government agency employees. They become message board moderators after they retire. The average age of a mod is about 75-80.

The short shall inherit the earth. Just you wait. You won't see us coming. We'll pop out from under tables, beds, and closets in hordes. So you're tall, huh? You won't be so tall when I chew off your ankles. Mofo

I think moderators are born like that, there are three genders: male, female and moderator. When the baby comes out and you tale a first look at it you simply know whether it's going to be a geeky moderator one day

Are you saying they have no genitelia, since they will be geeks/nerds/dweebs/ect that they wouldn't have spawning oppurtunities anyway. *takes cover and prepares for comments based on what I said in a different subject by certain persons...*

I used to work for the government doing helpdesk to top secret agency's. Nothing like helping the director of the CIA how to send an email.
...And if you believe that, I have a nuke to sell you
-This message has been red flagged by the CIA, I'm sure. =)
