[Minor Suggestion] Moderator test

I know this will piss peple off. Okay, I think if people want to be Moderators, they should take a test. Requirements: Need to be an Elite, need to know a great quanity of internet and tech knowelge, need to be here a long time. Please tell me if this is against site rules.

Thats who admin..aehm...usually filter them.

I'd agree but cut out the "Elite" part. I'd say, Has to be here since at least May '05. and active since then. and they do have a Arbiter Application, which has been closed for some time now. Im fine with the mods. This side isnt that active at all, and with the always looming BEEF!!! and Maca_

Pretty much what Cuda said.
The Admin usually pick the correct users by watching them over time.
The user chosen doesn't need to be told what to do to become a Moderator, or tested (unless they go through the Arbiter phase) they already know what to do/put into play.

Nah, there needs to be no sort of test. Just because someone doesnt post alot doesn't mean they wouldn't be qualified to be a good moderator.

I think we are gradually working to the point where there won't be mods anymore, just JAs lol.

I don't agree with any of those requirements. Internet and tech knowledge? should the moderators have knowledge about the forum rules and modding? Also, if I recall, some moderators aren't even elites.

I am, I'm proud of the fact that I used to be a spam happy little kid and have 2595 posts now

well not really proud, but you know...

why would having a techological abilities affect whether or not you should be a mod or not?

I think its because he would like it if moderators had a good understanding of modding/map making so they can help out people as well as keep the forums clean running.

he said internet and tech knowledge, not modding knowledge

Seeing how it IS a Modding site, full understanding of the tools and their functions would be a major plus, but, then again, thats what the Guardians were for.

Wow, still going. Anyway, modding knowlege should be required also, seeing how this site is about Halo modding.

BEEF!!! · Post by **BEEF!!!** » Fri Apr 28, 2006 11:01 am

Not needed as well. It would be nice if someone had modding experience, but that doesn't contribute to their moderating abilities. I'm an idiot when it comes to modding but I still do a good job (Well at least I think so =P) at moderating.

Bring back the guardians on a small scale so the Mods dont have to worry about giving tech support.

How about we do an Elite Modder group and they can mod the HaloCE/HEK and HaloPC forum?
