    Roman's Rules for becoming a MOD.
    ***For all I know I may be wrong***

    1) DO NOT ask to become one!
    2) If you are male, get a sex change, the odds are slightly higher if you are female. (Mind you, if I was a female I'd never leave the bedroom:D)
    3) Stay out of the politics & religion forum. (They're all nuts in there;))
    4) Do not reports 100's of posts every day to show off your modding abilities.
    5) Never complain about infractions, most MODs have them too.
    6) As much as it may hurt, suck up to Crazy_Rob.
    7) Have DP open even when you're sleeping to make it look like you live here. NOTE: MODs never sleep; see point #4.
    8) Get a good spell check program and practice using it in your posts, your spelling needs to be impeckible when you give out infractions.

    It is not an easy task, if you want to become a moderator...Trust me, I've been a former moderator for several famous forum, such as GGT, MTP, C4G and etc before...;)

    Contribute to the forums and become a valuable member of DP. Visit often, post often and help other members find answers to their questions. Report any posts that you feel are not complying with the rules.

    Rob chooses some people, and Shawn makes the final decision.

    Interesting. My spelling is mostly good. I never go to the P & R forum. Whats wrong with #4? I often report posts to save mods the job of finding them themselves. I'm on DP all day so feel its my duty to lend a hand. :)

    I have a question. How much the mods are paid? or Is it just an honorary post?

    Rule of thumb:

    Never ask to be a mod :eek:

    It happens when it happens.

    Katy is right, I can attest first-hand. I was invited to be a mod, and I do not have full rep. (Had to decline due to time restraints.)
