DLZ, I guess that's like asking "how do you get knighted by the Queen of England" or "how does the pope pick a Saint" - Very Carefully

With a sword, the first one!

I think Geek gives moderation privileges to those who he deems fit to be moderator. Just be on your best behavior, DLZ. =)

Also, privilege is a terribly difficult word. I had to look it up twice to spell it. I'm not stupid, I swear!

All things require moderation, including the desire to become a moderator. =)

In all seriousness, being a mod is often used as a status symbol on forums. We aren't going to go down that route... moderators are for moderating, and like whs said, there's work involved. So far we haven't had a lot of need for moderating, since most people have been friendly most of the time... if they aren't then Scott takes them behind the woodshed.

As far as status symbols go, I've got another plan for how to show off your geek status... you'll have to be patient and wait until I actually announce it (down the road).

Please use this forum in MODERATION! HA! I had to say it ... even though I am probably the only one who thinks it is funny.

Mysticgeek, you probably only want to hack the bits - but there is life beyond the bits. That's what makes this forum so pleasantly different and friendly.

Hi Geek, that sounds good. Make us work a little. We will support you any way we can.
