Mod - Page 2

AH is senile too, he doesn't realise that you've PCR'd him more than once for the same offence.

Mercator · June 27, 2003, 15:30

But looking at the bright side of things, at least you won't die alone. We will always be there for you!
Isn't that a comforting thought.

Dauphin · June 27, 2003, 15:39

Please no, Ming better not be the moderator of the great bulletin board in the sky.

rah · June 27, 2003, 16:36

:lol
Yeah BC, you'll arrive at the pearly gates, and Ming will be there checking over his list and laughing.

Hillarious Rah, bound to be Poly classics this one!

@ Rah!

Back on topic... You can become a demo game mod if you help start one and the originator of the game leaves.

DarkCloud · June 27, 2003, 22:05

I really hate to admit that I don't know this- but who's Albert S?

[I should probably visit the OT more often

]

As for how I became a Mod... MarkG noticed that I had volunteered to run the Civ III Stories competition.. then he asked me to be the Civ III Stories Directory editor... then I got access to the staff room... then I asked to be able to top threads in the Civ III stories section so that I wouldn't have to bother him... and that's how I gained my powers

While 'Nuclear Master''s question is not an easy one to answer directly, 'ixnay''s explanation above provides for the most likely scenario.

Dan how often is the DarkCloud situation going to happen?

H Tower · June 28, 2003, 00:18

Why all the questions? Do you want power? The lesson to be learned from having it is that you now have something called responsibility. And who wants more responsibility when you originally joined just to have fun? That power becomes a weight on your shoulders you'd rather not have.

Tassadar500 · June 28, 2003, 00:22

One I like responsibility. And I am inquisitive. I always have many questions.

There will be 2 vacancies in 30-50 years when Ming and rah finally kick the bucket.

But if Apolyton keeps growing, we'll be lucky and an opening will pop up in 20 years or so.

Solver · June 28, 2003, 13:02

DarkCloud's situation also happened to me. I initially became CtP-MP forum mod, because I needed to manage some threads there. I got an ehancement to my abilities quite later.

However... it's pretty unlikely for a person that asks to become a mod to become one, so I'm not sure you will

Maybe but Mini-Ming and Mini-Rah are already being groomed for the job.

Don´t believe him!!!

I send 100,000 USD three times and still I am not a mod

Mercator · June 28, 2003, 14:49

I don't believe that! Maybe something went wrong with the transfer and he never got it.

Perhaps you can send it to me, and then I'll send it through.

I happened to send him $100,000 in Monopoly money. I was soo close too, until he noticed it looked funny...

That he said the first two times...

I guess Ming is one of those "send me all your money" guys....

Tassadar500 · June 28, 2003, 17:54

Solver when have I asked to be a mod? If this whole thread was about putting words in my mouth then it was pointless.

Albert Speer, you idiot.

Solver · June 28, 2003, 18:20

Well for one thing, you do definitely sound like you want to be one.

Tassadar500 · June 28, 2003, 18:30

I also want to be the owner of Microsoft. I only wanted to find out how it happens. And you cant blame me for that.

Solver · June 28, 2003, 18:34

You buy the company from its owners.

Tassadar500 · June 28, 2003, 18:39

You perfectly knew I meant how you get to be a mod.

rah · June 28, 2003, 19:53

This topic comes up every now and then.

Modding can be quite time consuming, especially if you're on one of the more active forums. But it is a good oportunity to give back to the community for all the things it has provided to us.

I assume Asher is a more favourable candidate for that.

I don't want to be a mod. There! I met the number 1 requirement.

next step is becoming a respected member of the apolyton community.

after that, you have to catch the notice of a current moderator as a possible "recruit."

Next, poly will have to need another moderator.

You're almost there!
