Any way to apply for moderator?
-
I'd love to get some more formal requirements. Nintendo NSider forums (the first forums I used as a kid) used to have a rank called a "Sage", which had moderating permissions and was for members who met the below criteria:
...Not saying that it would be this exactly, but something along these lines was a really cool way to both get new mods and keep the peace around the forum. (For context, there was a category on NSider for posting game reviews, so that was kind of like a chance to demonstrate writing skills, in addition to the user's post history).

Moving discussions from one section to another to keep topics organized is also a common job for a forum moderator.

@VGMoose I think if we had an essay it would prove dedication to the forum in general
The topic? I have no clue.@LTempral we (current mods+admins) should probably come up with actual criteria / a process, not just me vaguely suggesting essays be written. Althoooough, for topics, I'd imagine something like, maybe reviewing a website or discussing that site's use/role on Internet devices like the Switch.
Normally on a forum, you have global and category-specific moderators (eg. a Writing category mod) too.
This site is not really large enough for this to totally apply, but for instance, if you comment a lot of productive stuff in one category and "understand" what good vs bad threads/posts look like in that category, you're kind of fit to be "in charge" of it.
