does anyone know how i could maybe become a mod???

i have a lot of free time during the week and i was wondering what i have to do to be a mod.

Wait about 20 years and ask again

hahahahah


wait are you serious?

I am.

You've made 15 posts and want to moderate what someone else posts?

Gotta start at the bottom ...not at the top...

I just asked bossman one day, that being said I've been on here forever and a day.
I will say though being a mod here is.....yeah ,"fun"

You want to be a Mod,grow your hair long and dont shave ,dress in flashy clothes,preferably with lots of colour and big bellbottom pants,and wear lots of cheap bling and say Groovy a lot.
Do that and youll be a Mod.

ok guess your right eventualy one day thought even if its in 20 years i still want to be a mod.

ya maybe i wont do the mod "look" though

I have to ask, what about being a "mod" appeals to you?

maybe
maybe not , I mod on another site , I was asked to be a mod after years of being there not the other way around , you get to try and sort out all the garbage when something does happen. often there is now winning just damage control.

you get asked by being someone others respect as not a trouble maker and upstanding in your posts and the views and morals they portray.

it is a fairly thankless job with no $ so you just have to do it for the love of the content and site.

You being treated too nice at home looking for some abuse herding adolescent adults all day? Good luck

Forget about being a mod.... come to the dark side and stir the pot. Way more fun. Takes a bit more intelligence though.

Never saw the "hall monitors" dating the cheerleaders in HS either did yeah

what apeals about being a mod is keeping this amazing website safe and i love the content im on here 8 hours a day 5 days a week just looking at all the posts i think it would be really cool to do im not intrested in it for bonuses or money because you dont get paid. i just want something else to do exept watch youtube at school when i get done with my work.

Didn't u see my post about cheerleaders up above???

im not intrested in dating

"Bros before Does"

My preference is the other way but whatever floats your boat. I hope Savell doesn't see your post.....

If you have 40 hrs a week to be on this forum, I recommend finding some other, more productive ways to spend some of that time. If you are new to trapping, get out in mother natures landscape, and just take it all in. Look for tracks, trails etc.
I am not trying to be mean, or anything like that.
I have been on here a lot lately due to my recent back surgery. 19 days ago was my surgery,. I just got back from a 3/4 mile walk, to check on deer scrape activity. I have a very hard time with being bored, and cannot sit still!

Two requirements of being a mod are that you be charitable towards others and brutally handsome. These two things will help you represent the site as a welcoming and non-judgemental place to be.

well, that's one way of coming out of the closet.

If there's other mods that feel this way that would explain why Hal got booted again

Preston: don't take too much of this personally. You're getting a lot of teasing now. It's all good-natured.


I think you are 14. So probably just a bit shy on life experience. You'll get that but it will take some time and some disappointments. I think it's a good sign that you want a life beyond Youtube and FB etc.

Hang around here and you can learn a lot about a lot of subjects. Lots of folks on here with a lot of knowledge and experience...............even some of the Canadians.

...this place is supposed to be non judgemental....?

14 ? O boy you right where I was , welp looks like I got a replacement, bout time their getting tired of me on here

Feeling under qualified now

If that's the case, why haven't I been nominated?

May I suggest getting more involved in your state's trapping organization. I know trapper organizations are always looking for volunteers to help out on any variety of projects and committees including leadership roles.



Hrdtoflw is correct, experience your trapping endeavor in real time ... life balance is very, very important.

TTT

If you've ever run a forum, being a mod or admin isnt all its cracked up to be. And I've run several, mostly gaming clans and a a few trapping forums and social media groups.

Idk what's worse to mod sometimes , forums like this or gaming servers the weaponized autism is a bit less here. The insults and what not are way tamer too

Not gonna lie wouldn't mind having so help with the archives , originally that all I really wanted,just to be the archivist lol.

whos savell and why should he not see my post?

cool archives would be a good place to start.

Being brutally handsome? I guess that leaves me out. I need not apply.

he's the Texan who has a thing for pulling down britches and spanking folks

Don't tempt the youngest, he's done declared himself. He might take what u said the wrong way

Personally I think being a mod on here would be like taking a loved hobby and making a livelihood out of it (been there, done that, still there). It can really take the joy out if it.

Hay! I'll take care of him , take the youngin right under my wing...... hopefully he won't get my bad juju and actually be able to kill it catch something though

can you take someone "under" your wing wolfie? :P

Must be the pay.

WARNING! WARNING! DANGER! DANGER! Be careful what you wish for!

On purpose??

Osky

Well Wolfie, you qualified for the first attribute....so that's a good start for you....

"can you take someone "under" your wing wolfie? :P"


OOOOH snap!, lol

You're on here 8 hours a day 5 days a week?

Go get a job young man, a good work ethic will take you farther than being a mod on this forum any day of the week

I know you're way back in the bush, but are you so far back in they don't have mirrors there?



(Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Honestly I don't think I've ever even seen a picture of you, lol)

I have a step stool

Actually you may be able to cut the wait time considerably by giving boss Paul a new truck for trapping. Or so I’ve heard.


Osky

What can I say if you can be handsome you gotta be nice

You mean CAN'T....

You've heard Red Green's classic saying, I assume....

Who usually helps the Puppy off the freeway- isn't that ADC's job

Handsome was never the hard part

I heard it was all stripers and burritos (and I know you mods can't spell so copy and paste the word striper into a search engine. It's a fish degenerates!)

You mean, "If women don't find you handsome, they could at least find you handy."

That's it, T7 !

Click your heels together 3 times and say "I'm a Yankee" and you will find out. You've been warned. lol

yeah that's why we keep you around to be the non judgmental one

Hahahaha!!!

Beware the "Executioner"!

I can give you a more valuable tip ..... How not to become a MOD........ A: post a bunch of BS........... B: be better looking than White17. The latter just plain scares them .... That has worked for me for 20 years on here and I have not gotten Shanghaied into doing anything more than post BS

"Brutally handsome".
You two hands talking about being considered to have been handsome prior to the brutal and tragic combine or wood chipper accident?
I am asking respectfully because I fit that description, however I tend not to get along with others, and I would not be very helpful with screening out inappropriate language, as my hypocrisy only goes but so far.
But apparently I do have the required "look". So I've got that going for me.

This is why you can't be a moderator. Thanks for playing though.

If you just join somewhere and you vocalize a desire to hold a position of power over the people, you will never be accepted.

Trust me, being a moderator isn't all its cracked up to be.

Jim

All kidding aside on this ...

These jobs are usually something that you are asked to do. Not that you ask to do them. Usually when these are offered it's a result of you being around, being helpful, volunteering for things, not be an idiot, and basically be a respected, and respectful, member of the community. Also need to have some technical skills. Every forum does things differently in how they're run for moderation so it's just not all clicking the right boxes. Can't screw up the site but you could cause some embarrassment or make some members mad if you hit the wrong ones.

Maybe not but the paycheck alone is staggering.

Why ?

Let the cats out

I should be a mod….lol

If you’re a mod you can delete what you don’t like or goes against what you think or anyone that doesn’t think like you…


Sorry, I had to stir it a little.

We need a west coast a mid and a easty

Voting for me 160 and upstate…
lol
This place would be rockn

Oh Grasshopper, you have much to learn.

Wheelers is doing an excellent job of filling the "middle" slot and I don't like change.

I vote Boco for moderator.

Oh yeah. Boss wouldn't even recognize the place anymore, America would be great again, and the air would be scented with skunk and unicorn farts! Let's get this party started!

I'm afraid I've arrived too late

Yes You certainly have

There's plenty of insults..... Some of us keep it to inside jokes that very few know about. That reminds me, I haven't talked to 160user in few days.

Young man, if you are on your phone 8 hours a day 5 days a week I need to have a talk with your dad and teachers.

Join the Marines to become a Mod! I’ll send you some crayons for lunch.

wow

Remember that line from Braveheart?...Him? That can't be white17. I'm prettier than this man.
Same goes for you. My mugshot captured my bad side.

These two posts made me laugh out loud.

These days you can identify any way you choose. So if you want to be a mod, you are. Congrats!

Lmao!
Can’t save em all Jayme!

My Ireland

You need to get your priorities right young man!!!

And pay more attention in spelling class!

I'm betting by now the kid is sorry he asked.

^^


At this point the kindest thing to do is to ban the little runt for a month or so until the dent in his ego is ironed out

He's an excited kid

we were all that way once

Id be no good at that I wouldnt ban anybody.
That said the current ones on here do a great job.
