All excellent choices, wonderful people who I'm sure will do a fantastic job and exhibit total fair-mindedness and impartiality in this high-pressure position.

(Got to get your sucking up in early)

Seriously, congrats to all.

*cough*bullshit*cough* So, which of the mods are they replacing? There are some that haven't been around in ages.

Thanks! It's an honour to join the staff of the messageboard that I love.
I'll be firm but fair

You know, it's quite a cool thought that with a few clicks on my new Android phone, I can ban anyone of you anywhere at anytime

Hector, if you're reading this, I promise not to fiddle with your account (so much ).

We do not have the habit of demoting admins or mods when they no longer visit this place, unless they specifically ask for that. So our three shiny new supermoderators will be able to moderate every forum.

Do moderators get paid? I know they do on some sites....

How do you become a moderator?

Congrats on your job of sucking up. You are a very gifted mush-mouth (as I call them)

Yes, how does one become a moderator? It sounds like quite a bit of fun. I've never had anyone make up strange conspiracy stories about me before...

Alas, not here. Here you just get the chance to oppress your fellow mooters. Nothing else. It's a thankless job, truly.

I used to answer that sort of question with 'When you stop asking.' Moderators are chosen either by Ben or by the other members of the moderator team if they think they need more mods.

Which is why, as new mods, we should enjoy the congratulations and the sucking up while it lasts

*enjoys*

a reposting of a tune.

"And we're back on M.O.O.T. 102,2 with the Moots playing this classic Pink Floyd tune slightly changed..."

We don't need no eloquence
We dont need no mod control
No dark sarcasm in the cafe
Admins leave them kids alone
Hey! Admins! leave them kids alone!
All in all it's just another post on the Moot.

Well, it's the first time I've asked, so I don't think I've gotten annoying yet. I figured it was kind of a "voting-in" or choosing or something. I was mostly wondering what kind of qualities you base Mod-ing on. Congratulations, Rian and Jonathan!

Oh, and Varna! I think that's newER than last time I checked.
