To be a moderator I assume you have to be active on the web-site for quite a while and make valid and useful comments on a regular basis.

As I am sure there are 1001 other people ahead of us to become moderators when the opportunity comes up I don't think it is something you should be worrying about right now.

As far as being a n00b, well post alot in this part of the forum. I have been on the forum for a while and I still manage to ask some pretty n00b questions so I guess there is a bit of n00b in us all at some stage.

got bored writing it, hated writing it, then went to ma comp, when i checked ma thread "its time to vote" it was deleted by DANNYNGAN {he sucks}, just got hated with moderators, thats why i wanted to b a moderator else a n00b. to.....

to be continued.... go to write it 1000 times. wish me luck

I closed your voting thread, because it turned into a political discussion, which has no place on these forums. You're more than welcome to start a new poll if you'd like.

I can see Dannyngan's point even if I might not agree with 100% of what he had to say. As a moderator he has to balance his duties. The fact that the last thread turned political was purely by accident and although nothing faulse was said, maybe a website about Maya isn't the right place.

With that aside I can see how you think you might have had it tough. It wasn't an attack on you but more on the direction that the thread was going.

That's basically how I interpreted his actions, hope I got it right.

Just to clarify... danny closed it. *I* deleted it. I would have closed it myself had I got to it first. It had nothing to do with who started the post. It had to do with the people responding going so far off-tangent.

I think the thing is that we have threads that go way of tagent on this site (some can be found in the Members Lounge).

I think the problem in that instince was that the subject was a bit too sensitive.

In general, moderators are only added if the current ones can't and/or don't want to do it anymore. Also, the existing moderators recommend and vote on who gets to become a moderator when the need for another one arises. It is not something we simply hand out to people who make a lot of posts or have been around for a long time.
