    I would like to know that how can we become a moderator in DP as I can see few threads that persons with higher posts & reputation are becoming moderator. So, I would like to know that what factors & characteristics makes a user as moderator in Digitalpoint.

    You must be a Greek deity reincarnated.


    On a serious note, you shouldn't ask for a promotion.
    I'd like to hire someone responsible, well parsed in the language that my forum is in, educated in the field my forum is in, they must have experience moderating and a lot of experience in the forum already. But I'm not Shawn.

    Experience, long term investment, quality contributions to the community, and be on the good side of all of the current moderators.

    It would not be surprising if some enterprising fellow gets motivated by the title of this thread and decides to write and sell an ebook titled 'How to become a Moderator in 30 days!' :eek: :p

    His interest in being a moderator is nice. These kind of posts only hurt you if the staff is unreasonable. Seeing as this is a question on most dedicated members minds. They want to know how they can advance and take care of the site they love.

    Though next time, I suggest maybe messaging an admin, or seeing if someone else has asked this before so you can resolve your answer quicker, etc.

    You have to sell your soul, sacrifice all current projects that you are working on, say goodbye to your friends/parents/spouse/children, give up all hope of ever being normal again, and buy a comfy chair so you can sit and moderate all day long without ever leaving your computer. :eek:
