how do you become a mod?

[hellapimpin]

thought so..you were referenced on other sites from sources....pretty cool, i have a question to MODS..When you guys joined these sites...what was your intentions? for knowledge, status on boards? what i mean is, when you joined these boards were you already knowledgable or started like most of us here.?? ..to continue that question, start with little knowledge and became infatuated to the point you learned as much about this stuff as you could and then recognition came afterwards??

Well...yeah, actually, the owner of the site knew who I was and had read some of my profiles...originally, when he was looking for writers, some of the links he gave them for ideas on how to write profiles were links to my (old) work. My first post here was made a sticky, also.

I was a mod on Triedia about 4-5 years ago, and a Mod on SynergyMuscle as well a mod (or Admin?) on BB4L.

Vette was a member of Triedia and is still a member of BB4L, and I believe he convinced the owner of this site to make me a mod unilaterally.

i want to know how to become a mod also, by # of posts or someone makes you one.

Someone makes you one. Mods get their heads together when/if new mods are needed, and they choose who is reputable, honest, helpful, well known to some extent, etc.

Not by number of posts. Sometimes Mods/Smods make suggestions in the mod forum and stuff.....

I suppose, it can be said that "someone makes you one"...but...really, you make yourself one...we just confirm it.

I think the motif we're going for, in terms of new mods, is knowledge....AAS, training, diet, etc....an abundance of knowledge in any of those areas, a reasonable amount of activity (post-wise) and you're name comes up to be a mod. Frankly, I'm of the opinion that we need more, currently.

When the political Smods left here, the politically appointed mod-spots left too. We're all about knowledge, in terms of what we want out of our staff, and 1 post or 100,000 posts is enough if you know your shit.

thought so..you were referenced on other sites from sources....pretty cool, i have a question to MODS..When you guys joined these sites...what was your intentions? for knowledge, status on boards? what i mean is, when you joined these boards were you already knowledgable or started like most of us here.?? ..to continue that question, start with little knowledge and became infatuated to the point you learned as much about this stuff as you could and then recognition came afterwards??

I don't follow the part in red? Other sites from sources?

Anyway, I guess I joined the boards to ask questions. I used the boards for questions and sourcechecks, mainly. I guess I read enough to answer the occasional question....then I had a few posts I made into stickies by the board staff on Triedia...then I was made a mod there..etc...

When I came to the boards at 21 or so...I'd already been reading about steroids for about 3-4 years and had done 3-4 cycles. I was pretty infatuated with Duchaine's writing and kinda thought it would be cool to know that much about steroids...I guess I'm on my way, maybe, towards that. Anyway, to this day I still get pissed when someone bags on Duchaine or tries to take credit for something he discovered.

I found some shit I wrote like....4 years ago (looking up old posts on other boards, to embarrass myself, I guess)....it's not actually too bad, in retrospect...but not too great either.

Cool...well about the red part..a Hooker was referenced by a source on another site..one that you have mentioned..maybe not you..but i dont think there is that many hookers on these boards..disregard it anyways. i can understand infatuation with certain things..i just recently in the last 3 years have become infatuated with gear..and it is something that i want to learn more about. So i guess most people start out the same way.

[hellapimpin]

one more question, being an english major, does it erk ya to see errors in peoples writing on here constantly??

[bigtwin]

I'm not an English major...I'm out of college. But no, it doesn't irk me...except when I can't even figure out what people are trying to say.

[bigtwin]

I'm an English major too, and I'm amazed at all of the agreement errors and such that I see daily, yes.

Especially when someone is arguing trying to prove his/her intelligence, and they are mis-spelling 7th grade vocabulary.

I learned one thing way back in the day, and that is ASKING to be a mod works against you in your quest to be one.

I'm dead serious too!
