I think you have to do a lot of wiki editing and stuff...like an obscene amount or something, and I think the mods have to actually ask you if you want to become one, and from what I've heard they don't need more mods right now.

How to become a Moderator for Dummies:


  • Possibility #1: Sell your soul to Aztek the Lost (that always works if you want something...especially a hamburger!)
  • Possibility #2: Hire Al Pacino as a hit-man ("Say Hello to my little friend, G-man!")
  • Possibility #3: Travel back in time to the old west of San Fransisco and write a letter to be delivered to Red L.A.M.P. the same day you left, instructing him to make _____ [insert username here] a moderator
  • Possibility #4: uh...Hack the system! (ever wonder what really happened when Comicvine was down? MAHAHAHAHAHAHA!)
  • Possibility #6:  Steal G-man's draft for the Off My Mind Segment and don't give it back until he agrees to make you a moderator
  • Possibility #7:  Hard work and dedication to the site....but what fun is that?
  • Possibility #8:  When creating an account, put your name as "inferiorego_is_the_Greatest" and write on a certain staff person's wall
  • Possibility #9: Agree to introduce Babs to Namor
And Finally, Possiblity #10: Make a list of possibilities and "purposely" skip Possiblity #5

I am not sure wiki editing is that important, I think it involves a lot of dedication to the site and I think they come to you and not vice versa.  I think they probably already have a short list of who they would want to become a mod (Dark Huntress?) anyway based on past performances and contributions.  I think the trick here is to contribute a lot though.  I don't think at the moment they would consider you for a mod if you were never community star.

that means if I ever publish a book, I can just dedicate it to comicvine and I'd become a moderator? Cool!

Well, four of the five top wiki editors are mods, and the fifth was asked but declined.

Doesnt that have as much to do though with the mods being on CV before time began.  So they are the oldest and most trusted members?

1. Staff decides they need a new moderator

2. Staff asks current moderators to make suggestions

3. Staff reviews suggestions based on who came up the most

4. New moderator is created

You don't have to be an editor. You just have to be a generally cool person who is helpful to the site and other users and knows, respects and follows the rules.

I was told you have to cut off your arm (hence the slow time responding to this thread on my behalf, its harder to type with your right arm and left foot then you can imagine)

Dedication to the site... pshhh

Don't piss off the Mods.... only if necessary

Apologize to mods if you've done something wrong without noticing you did.... required

Make some Mods you're friend...

Don't start fight in this website... it happens automatically so you don't need to try

Don't argue with people.... keep it cool and try to calm them down

Have convos with everyone in the community (staff included), be active, help new users understand the rules, call mods when something against the rules go down, make a lot of suggestions that help the community and site. That's how I became a game moderator and I think its the same here.
