Criterion for becoming a MODerator?

By seantrump

Just wondering what is the criterion for been chosen as a moderator at Qatar Living.
No offense meant but, i see commentators asking Questions and comin up with queries for moderators and moderators or posing as moderators shun them with lame responses.
Meaning to say is there a standard procedure or they are just chosen at random?

because she (Mod) was not in her sense.

frenchi, i've met Gérard on a few trips.Jolly fellow, down to earth.Love his english by Ze way.yep he is very neutral.

Gerard is the iconic French male, so he fits my QL name best. I tried Sarkozy's pick for a while, but he's too political and I'm not a fan of his politics. Gerard's fairly neutral and still recognizable. Although I am surprised more people don't recognize him--I even had a few PMs warning me not to post my own photo.

Don't blame you for not wanting to be a mod. It's a thankless job, but I am glad some are willing to do it.

Banned users showing up spewing obscenities, bashings on a regular basis, posting irrelevant posts in sections, hijackers,scams etc, being a mod must sure be hard work! Glad I never aspired to be one.. seriously. No sour graping here!

Wonder this thread is still surviving? The OP may be Mod itself or in MODs kitchen cabinet(?)… :)

The other day I asked, If Mods have other IDs and participate in routine forums and my thread was deleted.

In my opinion (read it carefully in just my opinion), the way to become Mod is-

1. You must be in MODs kitchen cabinet

2. Honesty, integrity are strictly not warranted but yes Trust is required.

3. You must be apparently unbiased whilst after graduating to Mod you can become one :)

Benefits – no tangible benefits but yes it gives you a false perception of authority. :)

OK not being seen as someone looking to be a Moderator, which I am not ...are there any benefits associated being a Moderator on QL... I mean does it add up to your CV if you are applying for a job in real life...:)

By Milky_BarKid• 8 Jun 2011 09:24
Milky_BarKid

Moderoator can you list all the approved Mods on this Site under the Freedom of Information Act?

By KHATTAK• 8 Jun 2011 09:24
KHATTAK

Sean...I know the procedure but wont tell you here. I never applied coz its difficult to fulfil the criteria ;)

By galloper48• 8 Jun 2011 09:23
galloper48

I would say and based on previous comments from Mod (few but effective) that you are looking at the funny side of Mod...

Right Mod??
