Ummm... How do I become a Hypography mod or admin because I'm new.

[smartypant]

I've only just joined somewhere in December 2006 and I don't understand many things for instance how to become a Moderator or Administrator on Hypography. So please explain to me how this works and when you can change your user level like admins and mods can because I was told by an admin (Chacmool) that after a certain number of posts you can!

 

Please answer

Bye! Gotta run!

One idea is to demonstrate familiarity with the site, search for threads dealing with the subject of interest rather than starting new threads on the same topic.

Usually you have to impress the current team with your Mod like temperament and be a member for a considerable time to be a Mod. Admins are usually born, not made.

You user level status will change automatically at the post counts indicated in the User Levels Tutorial.

 

We use an internal process to select members for invitation to become a junior mod when we need mods.

I'm actually a mod, not an admin. :cup: As C1ay points out, your user level will change as your post number increases.

By impressing the staff with:

 

#1. Fairness

#2. Patience

#3. Consideration

#4. Willingness to listen

#4. Suppressing one's ego

#5. Understanding the rules of the forum

#6. Being as friendly as others permit

#7. And most of all: Don't appear too eager for the position.....................Infy

So, are you saying we should just go ahead and ban you now? While you may have no desire to be a mod in the future you will need to at least do better than a 0 in some of the above to remain a member.

Admins are usually born, not made.

 

Well, I was made just for info...

 

Also, I don't remember who said this, post count is not all too important to become a mod, I guess there is a third of the members here who have more posts than I do....:)

[smartypant]

I'm actually a mod, not an admin. :) As C1ay points out, your user level will change as your post number increases.

 

And exactly how many posts are those:confused: because I don't think I can really post somewhere near two-thousand possts. Eventually I'll get there, but its actually a little hard to make two-THOUSAND posts!

 

 

Anyway Chacmool... sorry for the thing about me mixing you up as an admin and a mod.

 

By the way, just out of curiosity, what IS the difference between a Moderator and an Administrator???:really confused:

 

Gotta Run!!!,

[C1ay]

Again, see the User Levels Tutorial....

[sanctus]

Again,smartypant:

it's not the number of posts that counts I was an admin with less than 1000 posts.

 

As to the difference i a few wordsan admin can do everything (access to everywhere...even beyond the realms of virtuality :) ) while a mod has more restricted option, he/she can for example ban only in the forum they moderate...

We can BAN???? :)

Admins do a lot more behind-the-scenes stuff in addition to moderation.
