how are moderators chosen?

[benltrain]

I am not trying to find how to sneak my way into becoming a moderator...

how are moderators chosen? evidently it is not # of posts. is it connection to the site admin, status in railroading community, will to be one, or what?

thanks,

Email Otto , and ask them if there's any forums that need a moderator .

[benltrain]

i wouldn't do that. wouldn't want to moderate a forum on an old railroad nobody cares about.i wouldn't mind moderating the SEPTA forum though... SEPTA is my whole life system

My post was no longer relavent so I changed it

[benltrain]

i wish i could be a moderator of the SEPTA forum but i go AWOL on vacation every summer, so i'd need another person to help. :sigh: i guess i will have to stay in the wings.

queenlnr8, (i think that is it) where art thou? we need a moderator!

False alarm. We found him !!

Moderators are volunteers from the RAILROAD.NET community. You have to demonstrate that you are a knowledgable and responsible person and can handle your duties with diligence.

Benltrain, thank you for your interest, but we cannot use your services at this time.
