I wannabe a mod...............

I hear this countless times every day. But a little clue guys and dolls, when you say it you are put back at the bottom of the list. Also some things that will put you back at the bottom are: different behaviour when mods are present, being overly friendly and trying to be their best buddy. When mods are looking for a new mod, they rarely do it while wearing their mod suit. They come as an alt and observe.
You will be watched over time to see how well you blend into the room. The users I have nominated, I have watched several weeks maybe months before they are chosen. So if you want to make a good impression, be yourself, don't go overboard to make yourself noticed. It really does not help you at all. And don't become a minimod.
If a mod is present let them do their job. You do not need to step in and help. We mods have been trained and were chosen because of our abilities to handle the trolls.Please do not feed these trolls and also please learn to use your mute buttons. This site is growing and they are looking for new mods everyday. But as they are looking they are weeding out the ones that will never make it. All of you are great users and someday you may become a mod.
