If you don't know the rules from armor games, then it's here:
I'll just give you the way of becoming a moderator here in case you're too lazy to read the other posts. I have edited some stuff though:
Want to be a Moderator?
Then DON'T ASK!I/we like that you love HCO enough to try to become a moderator for writing a great review but we will not make you a moderator if you ask.
Why?
Because I/we choose our moderators by selecting members of the community who are responsible, mature, and contribute in great ways to the site. I/we watch in our own eyes and suggest to each other who should become the next mod. If you say to us "hey, I want to be a mod!" you are hurting this process because we want to choose based on qualities of users we need... leadership, responsibility, maturity, respect, and dedication to make the site awesome. Saying "I should be mod!" makes us think twice... mod material comes from people who
SHOW US they can be a mod, not
ASK US.
So don't:
Ask a mod to make you a moderator on the site.
Ask an admin to make you a moderator on the site.
Suggest a user to become a moderator on the site.
So help the organization by being good HCO members, but let me/us choose the next mods on my/our own accord.
If you would like to become a moderator, you first need to show that you are responsible in HCO; show a good posting record and maturity and you may be granted these exclusive rights! I/we will usually hand pick moderators, but if you feel you have what it take, contact me or other moderators on our profiles... I/we are really, really picky though!
Now here are some of this things I/we look for in moderators:
1) Responsibility. Potential moderators must be responsible, mature, honest, and trustworthy. There is not a specific age requirement, but maturity is a big aspect of moderation. This is why I/we do tend to choose members who are older.
2) Good posting record. We look for members who have a good posting record. This means they have an adequate amount of forum posts, game reviews, and merits. We look for people who post clearly and intelligently with very few spelling or grammatical errors.
We will never choose someone who spams any of their writing for points. We look for people who post comments to help improve the site, instead of just posting for points.
3) Helpful. Potential moderators are members who are very helpful and courteous to other members of the organization. They answer questions for other members when possible with a friendly attitude. They are active and constructive with suggestions and support. Moderators have a genuine interest in helping improve the community.
4) Activity. We only ask members who are moderately to very active on the site. This helps us ensure that they will be accessible to members of the community, and be around to help enforce the rules of the site.
If you would like to be a moderator, please do not ask another HCO moderator or me directly. Chances are, if you have to ask to be a moderator, you probably should not be one. I/we normally hand pick moderators, and none of the moderators that I/we currently have were chosen because they asked for it. I/we don't really go by the 'Ask and you shall receive policy.'
