#1- Write your name on a ticket (in blood, sweat or tears. Blood is preferred) and place it in the appropriate item (hat, box, empty toilets, etc) for the drawing.
#2- Avoid using and referencing Google Plus in all shapes and forms other than Gmail
#3- Bait from your catcher account too!
#4- Suck up to all the moderators and administration by sending photochopped photos of yourself in bikini, sports bra, speedo (bonus points if it is very small), dancing like a maniac on the streets, pretending to work at places and not getting caught, make a music video whilst making references to all the moderator's and administrator's names
#5- Speak, Read, and Write English in ALL of it's forms and dialects.
#6- A photo of yourself hugging a goat
#7- Constantly ask a Mod or Admin if you can change your favourite Mod/Admin and send your old favourite mod/admin a parting gift and your new favourite mod/admin a gift stating that they are your new favourite and be sure that it is signed and dated by either yourself, or your lad(s, ladesses, vlad(esses), etc)
#8 Have a drinking problem and/or smoke, watch Youtube videos instead of TV, or have the talent for being cynical and sarcastic
#9 Sent a lad on a safari, shut down so many bank accounts that you can no longer place the number in the siggy line because it's so long, a unique siggy icon (ie Volcanoes for getting lads sent to Volcanoes like the one in Fogo on Cape Verde Islands. Wink

)
#10- The ability to make random lists very late at night (when one should be sleeping but can't get to sleep) and to wake up everyone to reality. Life goes on.

Dear Dear Paranoid it was only the first phase the of mod invites. After all the time he has had you under surveillance he knew precisely what you would do. Always look for binocular lens flare. It wasn't the mountains that were a "peaking". It was the evil laughter about to erupt around your trailer. Next time use asbestos gloves, a long stick and a deep dark well.

The final test to become a mod is Much Worse I hear! Only a few have survived. Or so I am told. Be very Very careful.

It's a bit like this.... if you can get a mod to do the macarena and tape it, your name goes green.

I'm not sure what all that other stuff was about, but there might be something in that last one that could come in handy. Wink

For those who are considering a mod position here at eater, consider this:

This is at a mod room party. Rover starts off, then Ima and Bohigal join in, and at last SOOI joins the singing. If you're happy with this, then you're mod material.

Oh dear Lord it is worse then I thought Vampire. Shocked

I am outta here.

the legend says that the ones who moderate badly are transfered to 4chan or the Department of Youtube Grammar

^^^ You have that reversed JM. Those are prerequisites for mod.

I understand physical flexibility is an important attribute, particularly for the part of the initiation ceremony when the inductee is instructed to 'bend over, and hang on tight'. Although looking at our current crop, I can only assume it was sheer determination that got them through.

Wow. Cougar, that was actually kind of mean. I've never seen you mean before. Sad

^It was a bit, wasn't it? Sorry about that, don't know what came over me. Confused

Let me make amends:

@OP - to become a mod you must have the qualities of our current green-clad heroes - those being wit, kindness, wisdom, generosity, and beauty without compare.

I hope that covers it. Sorry again Snerd. x
