No. It might effect your chances of ever becoming a mod if your accuracy isn't very good though (if that is something you would be interested in).

lol. So I can't be a mod any time soon? Wink

You have reported 12 posts with 40% accuracy

Not anytime soon but you've got plenty of time to catch up Cheesy

, though there's probably a handful of people who will likely be next in line with 1k+ posts reported and high accuracies of 90%+ so you might be waiting a while Wink

. People should just keep reporting and don't be discouraged and your time may come eventually. Mods always come and go so new ones will always be needed.

BadBear had a great post regarding that in the past, Im too lazy to search for it now. The essence was that the accuracy is not as important as long as its not horrible and you show an understanding of the rules. A major factor is the time you are online. Are you active durring a time where no other mods are? As we have seen with Mitchell or other recently nominated mods beeing active in a local section also helps as a local mod might leave the board or be less active.

tl;dr: A multitude of reasons are considered when asking someone to become a mod.

This?

Good report history, posts and actions that show you understand forum policy, activity (and when you are active could also play a part in it, mods at certain times could be more needed than others), etc. Being a good poster or trustworthy doesn't mean one would make a good moderator.

Finding mods for foreign language boards presents unique challenges, so there's no real set way to go about that. Sometimes it's by polls, sometimes it's just because a certain person has expressed an interest in moderating the board (either by their actions, or by "applying"), etc. It tends to be a more community driven decision, because acting like you know someone because you used google translate on their posts is dumb (though foreign language mods do need to be able to communicate with us in english).

The problem is, like Welsh said, most of the persons when they are in doubt about the post, they usually don't report it as if it is marked bad, their accuracy will decrease and it isn't really good IMHO.
