You may begin by asking "What is a Moderator?"

A Moderator is a Member of Staff of a specified Forum and takes care of specific sections. They moderate, clean-up, enforce Rules and resolve problems within the Sections under their care, if it's within their means. Otherwise, an Administrator or Senior Staff would be called upon, to resolve the issue(s).

To become a Moderator, you'd need to Apply at Mod Application section. Submitting your application anywhere else would render your application automatically denied, and closed.

If your application is Approved, and we see the maturity, professionalism and potential in you, you will be granted a Trial Moderator position where you will be evaluated by the Senior Staff and Administration. If you have persisted in doing your job well as a Moderator-to-be, you will be promoted to Full Moderator.

Requirements:

* Post Count - Your post count isn't the 'All and End' of your application, however, it is taken into consideration. We can't judge how you post, and your styles on the web if you only posted twice in your life in Game2Live. Try getting at least 150+ post before applying, to boost your chances of getting approved.
* Infractions - We allow all users to apply, regardless if they have Infractions in the past, or not. But having more Infractions, means having a less chance of getting approved. Do not apply when you've got an Infraction still Active.
* Section Participation - If you want to be a Moderator of a Section, you obviously have to be at that section posting and being around for the Users there. Make sure you have a good number of post in that section before applying for that particular section.
* Commitment - Yes, commitment to your position at Game2Live is an Requirement. This is one point which the Administration, and especially myself, stress upon. If you aren't able to be committed to your position on Game2Live, then don't apply. We are constantly growing everyday, and the workload gets heavier by the day. We don't want to force you to do your job. If you want your job, get down and do your job, if not, resign.
* Professionalism/Maturity - The way you present yourself in the forums stand out in your application. If you are unprofessional in the way you present yourself, then consider yourself not being accepted.
* Join Date - The date of which you join Game2Live is quite an important factor as well. If you joined Game2Live a week ago, and still meet the requirements, your chances of getting approved would be decreased, but you will still be considered.


Tips:

* Do not PM/Email the Staff of Game2Live to ask when you will be accepted, or anything of that sort. That will only bring down your chances of getting accepted. All updates will be posted in your application thread.
* Do not bump your Threads. You will not be ignored, be patient. Applicants who bump their Threads will only be tagged by the Moderators as "irritants" and will probably deny you.
* Be optimistic about your odds of getting the Position. Don't apply and quote at the bottom "I think I won't get the position anyway". Everyone will be given a fair chance to be considered, and will not be ignored.
If another Moderator had recommended you to apply, and give it a go, give references in your Thread. This would greatly increase your chances of becoming a Moderator.
* Post in the correct section with the correct format - Many applicants just post a thread in the Mod Application section a "I wish to be a Moderator" and leave it as that. Note that this will give you an instant denial.
* Explain in detail - If you say you've worked somewhere as something before, link us to it. So we know what kind of site(s) you've worked on before, and can consider you more fairly.
* Take pride in your application! - Don't submit your application by filling up all the <> and expecting us to give you a fair review on your application. Take some time to work on your application. This will greatly increase your chances of being accepted.
* If you have a application already written, but not comfortable with it being submitted, feel free to send a PM to any of the Senior Staff (Administration + Super Moderators), and we'll give you a review.
* Before you submit your application, remember to check it over, to see that everything is what pleases you, and it's all filled up, not missing out any parts of the application. Missing out any part of the applications will greatly decrease your chances of being accepted.
* Be creative in your application. Don't just fill up whatever we ask you for. Try and think of other things which you could include, which would make us interested in your talents, and abilities.
* After submitting your application, depending on the time, and when the current Staff Team comes online, you will be able to read their comments on your application. You may, or may not, be approved by each moderator, simply because you don't meet either one, or all of the requirements.
Please note that all current Members of Staff from the Game2Live Staff Team are allowed to input their individual comments on your application, and please, don't form a grudge against them because, for any reason, they didn't accept you.
* Also note that your previous post on the site will also be looked at. If you've been unprofessional or immature in the way you presented yourself previously, consider yourself not being accepted. We are looking for individuals who stand out in the community, and will be an asset to Game2Live, in helping and assisting the Administration.
* Punctuation - Punctuation matters. Try to use the proper punctuation when it comes to certain things. Like capitalize the first letter of a sentence. Add a period at the end of a sentence. Use apostrophes in the right sense. Hyphenate words that need to be. Using the proper punctuation along with proper grammar will only show your maturity along with your professionalism. It really makes your application stand out if done properly.
