How can you become a mod
There has to be an need or opening [a mod quits, gets ill, dies, moves, etc.].
Last time Robert posted that he was looking for several new mods, and anyone who was interested was to send him a message.

40 bucks an hour!!!!!!!! hahahahahahaha
No pay!!!!! Just alot of giving back to the community!!!!
Yep. Very true. And some of the posters give back, but not in kind. Thank goodness for the nice ones!!!!
Believe it or not, if a company asks what do I do to give back to the comminity during an interview, I mention DR1.
Robert would supply reference if necessary.
Hi everyone, it's not that I'd like to become a mod. But I'm just curious how can one access to that privileged status. You must apply? Send a letter of motivation? Be friend with someone important?
You have to kill someone with your bare hands
all this work plus the insults we have to bare
is all done from the goodness of our hearts. Starts off because we want to help later we wonder if we're crazy. If you start off being somewhat sane it won't take long :laugh:
Oh bless that's so nice
Sometimes when you have to deal with bs, it becomes foolish to be a mod!!!!
Thankless job at times!!!
We are talking about Mods not Mobs. :laugh:
anyone remember the first mods here. Newbies?
Robert and Dolores don't count because they are admin. First mods were Pib ( Clara from Dominican Cooking) and Hillbilly. They moderated the then new DR debates forum. Then Robert made CCCCC mod of the General Stuff forum. We thought Robert had lost his mind but it worked out well because CCCCC became calmer. :laugh:
I was the forth mod added back in March 2003. I'm still here? Took a short break and came back :surprised
Our job is to bring all people together. If these two can do it, so can we-
As for what you need to do to become a mod, the last part of the interview process is to have a sit-down with Robert. Just remember not to put the Stevia in your coffee-(if you watched the last episode of "Breaking Bad", you'll understand the reference).
You'll have to do it for me Frank, if you ever saw the size of my hands you'd understand why..... :bunny:
Not only is the 7 yr old grandson almost as tall as me, his hands are almost as big already!
This is a good thread. It is nice to know a little more of the history of how the board came together. The Mods work hard and we can see examples of this on a daily basis. It can be thankless but it is ultimately necessary especially with as diverse of a group that exists here.
Keep up the good work and thanks.

Fireguy sad one of the original mods, he introduced me to Robert in 2001, shortly there after I was asked to be a mod.
