most mods have lots of merits.

Not necessarily. We are looking for good members of the community to be moderators who can prove (but not necessarily tell us) that they are mod-material.

I wouldn't think so... but most mods are serious, so they act mature when writing a game review, and good game reviews equal merits.

Mods are appointed through maturity, trust, but the merit count helps. It means your devoted.

Uh, how do you get merits?

By writing a long, detailed review of a game.

Yes, its very hard to become a Mod, so thats why there is so few.

If any of you have ever been a mod on any site, you would know that it is hard. You have to be very devoted. Esspecailly on a site as big as this.

That's what merits show. I'm sure that less the half of all of the people on Armor Games who have merits, would not have bothered with spending time doing it. Mods would probably do this anyway.

And Nich, a true poet at work.

Not nesessarily, but it would help.

Merits are not a requirement. However, if a member has multiple merits, it shows that they are a constructive member of the community, and possibly moderator-worthy.

Merits show responsability,devotion and maturity...so any good mod has a few or many merits.

Not necessarily. You don't need merits to become a moderator, but all moderators have them because getting merits means you took the time to write a meritworthy post, which shows the qualities of a moderator.

Well It defiantly helps....:
1.It shows your are not a spammer for the most part
2. You put time and effort into your posts
3.You aren't 9 years old
