"What does it take to be a Moderator?"

I know there are already little specifications to become a moderator on the site, but lets here from the frontline troops. Any things that are cool about being a moderator, and what you think it takes to become one?

xD

...Same respect? Clearly you have not seen the size of MotoMoto's ego :D

Thanks guys ;P 5 days until i'm a newbie, and then 60 until regular, not too bad. Doesn't feel like i've been on here for a nearly a month. Anyway, don't think it really matters what status everybody is, obviously some people have more authority, but every gets the same respect, which is great :D Thanks again guys ;D

Agreed, always good to have new and intelligent posters on the forums.

I miss the moderator status - went through a time last year when I had it that I couldn't get online, so it was revoked. Was fair enough as I wasn't doing the job.

I'm quite happy being a regular though - as we are a pretty tightly-knit community here and I have no need to edit or delete other peoples' threads.

And although it's been said already, we really welcome you to the forums. It's been nice to have another character about the place and another point of view when it comes to debates. Hopefully it won't seem too long until you hit the regular status!

I'm working on the site, at least :P

Nice to see I'm so highly respected around here...

Anyway, former moderators who had their moderated forum deleted would have automatically reverted back to a 'Regular' user but with the Moderator colour scheme, Emmie was an example of this when his forum was removed. I managed to fix it so he is now the proper colour.

Only appears that you can bar/edit/sticky regular users and nobody else, while this makes some sense it's probably an error and something McLong can probably sort once I speak to him today about something other than Lost and Hayden Panettiere

I'm not entirely sure this is right either, might get this looked into also.

If I missed anything let me know!

I miss my Moderator powers from the Game forum, they were taken from me when the site was re-done. Mainly because i like the light blue colour best lol

Right so Hmmm is a moderator of another forum, but he doesn't have the name on this one. But he has the moderator colour, and this could be the reason why he has admin rights? What can i say, elaboration isn't my strong point :P

To clarify Hmmm is a moderator on a different forum to this one :D

This could link into why you have different moderator options by the way Hmmm. Lets see what BML says.
