You have to report an astronomical number of posts and have a ridiculously high accuracy rate. I don't think it's something you apply for.
That's a bit disheartening to be honest :/
I report crap as I see it, and have 100% accuracy to date. But I don't have 15 hours per day to put into just that activity. The hours that I can give would be (hopefully) useful, but if it's a numbers game....meh :/
Thanks for the reply anyhow, Og, appreciate it. I'll leave this out there. Maybe it'll be considered.
If you don't have time to report a lot of posts you probably don't have time to be a mod here. Moderating is a hundred times more work than just reporting occasional posts whilst you're here browsing. Reporting posts is the best way to become a mod because it shows staff you would be beneficial to the board but it's not always about being the person who reports the most either nor do you need to be on here '15 hours a day'. Rickbig didn't have anywhere near the current top reporters but he was active in reporting when there were no mods around so it was a logical choice to have him on board.
