How do I sign up to be a moderator?

I know it sounds pretty stupid, but I have no idea who to ask or where to ask if I want to become a moderator. I have decided that I am done with argument threads, and want to help out the NS community in general. I assume that there is some place to ask?

No. You can't sign up to be a moderator, afaik.

Shave a weasel, cover it in glitter, put it in your freezer for fifteen minutes, and mail it overnight to Ard. He'll know what to do.

You don't ASK to be a moderator. In fact, IIRC, asking actually decreases your chances of ever being one. The mods, if they ever decide they need a new person to join the Hivemind, will choose somebody, and ask them if they want to become a mod. [/notamod]

Sacrifice seventy virgins to the dark lord satan, then drench a copy of Sonic 06 in their blood.

To quote the One-Stop Rules Shop:

STANDARD DISCLAIMER:This does not mean we are looking for new moderators or that anyone who receives a nomination has an actual chance at being asked to be a moderator. Self-nominations will not even be looked at!

So, we get peppered regularly with questions to the effect of "How do I become a moderator?" and "So-and-so would make a great mod, don't you think?"

So, here's your chance to submit an opinion that won't be met with an annoyed moderator checking off your telegram and hitting the "Delete Telegrams" button. The rules are simple.

* Don't nominate yourself. That's just like asking about how one becomes a mod. We want to know who else you think might be mod material. We won't even look at self-nominations. And we will check to make sure you aren't nominating yourself using a puppet!


The most relevant bits are in blue.

Corrected.

Also, Ardchoille isn't our frozen weasel specialist. She mainly deals with frozen drop bears.
