Where do you do that?

Gotta kill a few people.

Then you got to get sent to a slam, where they tell you you'll never see daylight again. You dig up a doctor, and you pay him 20 menthol Kools to do a surgical shine job on your eyeballs.

Then when you can peer through a black background and see the under lying black text or vise versa you can become an almighty moderator!

send me $500 and I will make you a moderator.

how about 19.95 and an Earl Schieb paint job on a 79 camaro?

What is with all the sarcasm? I was just asking a simple question...

Wow...Never mind

Well, when people are asking a serious question, why joke about it? If i had a serious answer, then you started joking around, that would be fine. This wasn't the case. I wasn't sure who's advice to take, but it seems like you get randomly chosen.

This thread started reminding me of talking to a little child. Parent: "Bobby, did you take Lisa's barbie?" Bobby: "If you give me $10 I'll tell you..."

Come on...

Realistically, it doesn't matter what kind of attitude you have apparently. Just post about 5,000 times and you "might" become a moderator.

Otherwise, it's all about money. Isn't everything?

Welcome to IM, you'll grow to love the place eventually.

You really don't know much about this site so why are you so worried about being a moderator?

I don't know the process, but I don't think post counts have anything to do with it. I'd say if you were here a while & Prince notices you in threads with good knowledgable advice & there's an opening, you may be considered.

But I can think of a lot of people like that though who aren't moderators. I'd say don't have that goal.. could be years, could be never.

There's your serious answer, now here's a joke:

Add "I heart Colorado" to your signature... that may help

If it were about post count Built would not have been a moderator even before she joined.

If it were about money i would not be a moderator because i have about £50 to my name right now. It's in my pocket along with my bus pass.

If it were random, most of the moderators would be members with 0 post count because they are in the majority.

The only thing left is not making dipshit posts, which after this thread counts you out at least for a while.

Is the "serious answer" you're looking for, in the first reply to this thread at that.

And now a joke:

To be a moderator you must undergo the Trials of Lecurtizcxz - a seventeen and a half mile obstacle course designed by Prince, with music supplied by that other Prince. It costs $500 to put your name into the hat, and if you are randomly chosen from that hat to compete you get to run the obstacle course. If you lose, your post count is reduced to 0, and your memory is erased leading to a condition known as dipshitius posteritis.

brutal

I imagine none of the moderators aspired to be so. The one thing we have in common is a desire to help others by sharing our resources free of charge. There is absolutely no compensation, and as this thread atests, often little appreciation.

Ok, the real secret is to sit with Arnold's Body Building Encyclopedia while at your computer and answer questions in the Training and Nutrition forums for a a few month's, establish yourself as a level-headed person who can be serious but can flow with the mood of the thread. And most threads on IM flow in a light-hearted comic direction, just like this one. You can't get your panties in a bunch because no one wants to pretend their at work while visiting what is for most a hobby forum.....

Dunno about the others, but I sent Prince a series of nudes.

Tell you what, how about you send ME a series of nudes, and we'll see what we can do...

That is a huge portion of the picture, on any site.

Is this an open invite

D'uh!

I wonder if moderator can see who is reading which post..if they can, is there any way to fool them?

Ok!

Seriously, to become a moderator, you need to
a) have a sitdown with Frankie "Two-Times".
b) Kill the henchman of the Gaminelli crime family and send a fish to the head consiglieri telling them that Luca Brasi now sleeps with da fishes
c) have mafia gunmoll aka Built sleep with Obama to divulge secrets of Moderator wisdom-of course she will have to send those nudes to each and everyone of us on this thread
d) finally, you take the blood oath and work on a knock knock joke to see if you laugh

e) is strictly optional; you need to have an ACE certification.

We can see that, we know where you live, we know your salary, and we can make one phone call and have you killed. So watch yourselves.
