hey mods!

[ta8689]

Im just curious... how do you go about becoming a mod? Not that i want to be a mod necessarily..... Do you get paid?

 

[myjaja]

If I post in here, you'll probably get a better chance for a reply from a mod.

 

[Shawn]

no they don't get paid

 

[ta8689]

lol true... i think they watch your every keystroke or soemthing

No they dont get paid, and if you ask there is no chance that it will happen.
That being said, can i be a mod too?

They have special perks, but I don't think there's specific monetary compensation involved.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Why would you want to be a mod? I have enough trouble keeping up with my own threads.

Because power corrupts?

If you ask you go on the permanent 'denied' list.

There're perks?! Um, no. They do it because they want to help AT, and feel pride in it.

Ill tell you why, for the hours upon hours of awesome reading in the personal mod forum. Im sure they have a thing or two to say about us "users".

Im also sure that they have a good time with eachother, like a band of brothers thing going.

 

[ta8689]

Is there an UNlock button for mods?

did I ask.. no I asked how it happens.

 

[imported_LoKe]

If you're asking, then no, you can't be a mod. Only elite members are selected; those who made a huge contribution.

Believe it or not, they do get compensated in one way or another. Not in the form of money, but they do.

That's what I've heard. Frankly, I think it'd be better to remain a non-mod around here. A little... crazier... busier... than most forums.

You have to kill another mod and eat his heart for strength...it's a rite of passage.

They don't get paid. They're community volunteers.

Not in cash, but they do receive things for their effort.
