mod or admin

[slayerman]

how do you become a mod or a admin ???

 

[dice]

Well for starters you don't go around begging to be one...

Seriously:
- you need to be a well respected member
- you must be well known to everyone
- you shouldn't be bothering others about it

There may be more but those I reckon are the main factors looked at.

YOU don't!

You don't just become one, we choose people who are credible, reliable and have contributed and have spent time and effort at GBAtemp.

Merry Christmas.

Yeah don't get the ones from the US, they stick leprechauns in the machines to do their dirty work.

I suggest 2 words phrases only: "You Don't" or "You Can't" or "Hell No" and lastly, "Too Bad".

i have often wondered this too

 

[slayerman]

if it would be sticky or something it will help
other members too ( i think )

I see no reason for a sticky. I find it pretty obvious that to be a staff member that is entrusted with some power over the board, they must first prove themselves and set a good example, which takes time.

if you have to ask how, then chances are, your never gonna be...
it's the same way you get ops/@ on irc...you won't ever get it by asking...

if someone deems you worthy of such reward, then they will approach you...it never works the other way around..
so to make an easy answer...the answer is...

Impossible, you can't !!1

i didnt literally mean 'the way you get ops' as in, how one would /msg a bot to request ops.

i meant it, like, how you get it, as in, your new...you want ops..how?? (btw, tekken wasn't the bot, that was the nick of the bots owner. falcon2 was the bot's name.)
same way on the forum, new people see admin/supervisor/wtf and go damn, i want that...and they make topics that ask.
'deerrrr, how do i get to be admin/supervisor/mod (god in their eyes, they want teh power see).'
here's a simple example for any idiot to use to pm/msg a mod/supervisor/irc op/wtf to get what they want

random idiot @ getting what they want

hello there, i'm (insert nickname here) and i've been around for (insert how many months here) months. i think i would be an excellent (insert op/mod/supervisor/wtf here) because im always around willing to help. get back to me as soon as possible please. thanks.

one word for these types of pm's/msg's and that is lame.
lamers dont get what they want. don't be a lamer.

whats the irc channel?

 

[teh_raf3]

I must say to all the admins/mods/others, that they are doing a pretty darn good job, most forums where i go it's chaotic, they don't close flamethreads and they also ban people without thinking

keep it up
