OK. First of all, you don't become a mod just by asking. The fact that Vainamoinen did was an exception, and one that is NOT going to be repea… moreted, especially give how some people have been asking. Cute cat pictures do not sway anyone, I'm afraid
Secondly, if we (or rather, if Telltale) decide that we could do with another mod or two, then they'll take a look at existing members of the site who have been helpful and respectful... and, ideally, who know how to use proper punctuation and grammar, like wot I does. They'll then get in touch with those people and discuss the possibility of making them a mod with them.
This was, I believe, the case with me and Jennifer - we were both liked and respected members of the old forum who behaved well and kept things interesting... as well as flagging spambots. We got quite a few of those back in the day. Like, seriously.

Pretty much this. Being a mod isn't just about "being an active user" so you can remove spam/trolling and whatnot. I've only been a mod for like two months, so obviously I can't speak all high and mighty about myself, but I'd say in general it helps to contribute something notable to the community - or to just be respected as Darth points out about himself and Jenni.
As I pointed out above in my post, I became a mod through making helpful posts about Telltale, and up until then, I was partially a lurker on and off on these forums.

What? Didn't you get the latest issue of "Juicy Telltale Insider Secrets for Moderators" today?
They talk about the release date for Walking Dead 202, right inbetween the article about their evil schemes for world domination and the article about Tales of Monkey Island Season 2/Walking Dead Season 3/Murder at the Inventory/etc.
...Wait. This isn't the mod forum... Uhh... forget that last part, guys.
SHHHH. If we can get people to follow those rules, this place'll be so much nicer...
Plus, he figured out how to make a checklist! See? EVERYONE'S learning!

Oh, absolutely. You too could be well on the way to becoming a mod if you just follow these simple steps, and sent a Stamped Addressed Envelope with $20 to 616 Drive, Mos Eisely, Tatooine, Tatoo system, Arkanis sector, Outer Rim Territories!

Cough
Er... Yeah. Whatever was I thinking?
Heck, I'll add some more.
* Don't feed the trolls
* Don't insult other users - even if they are trolling.
* Don't reply to spambots
* Don't complain about not getting the next episode of a game once it has been more than a month since last episode.
* Keep use of memes/gifs/YouTube video responses to a minimum
* Don't discuss banned users - even if they were trolls.
* Don't spam the forums with 30 alternate accounts if you get banned.
These are also great steps for making this community a better pla- uh, I mean becoming a Mod!
I will be paying in cheque form but last question what if mod goes crazy with the power? closing all our posts or comments who is there to protect the people? If Mod breaks the rules and we report him who's there to stop him. Are we merely citizens in dictatorship where our power is ranked by our class me being just member!!

thanks. I like seeing what each different mod says about their experience and how they became mods.
edit: if you ever do need a new mod, there's lots of great people on this forum. keep modding away! oh wait..... I made you guys sound like 3rd party users who illegally add/change games. whoops.

You guys are funny as heck. I really enjoy reading your responses and thoughts on how you/others became/could become mods. thanks so much for responding to this so positively. you guys made my day.
As long as the conversation is not off topic, we are always up to chat.
Keep in mind that we are community volunteers, and are fans of Telltale ourselves.

Actually, modding isn't illegal. Hacking into databases is illegal, and I think hacking online games is illegal, but that's completely different. Modding is frowned upon by Telltale, but not illegal.

Ugh, that list sounds a bit like "act according to the forum guidelines and you're mod material"...
...aren't ALL members supposed to act according to the forum guidelines?
A forum full of moderators. Get me a gif for that.
That was the joke. I was going off of Darth's post.
Me: [In response to ohyoupoked me talking about following rules to become a mod] Well, it's not that intrinsically simple - but yeah, those steps help.

Darth must have some inside information what date do you predict TWD season 2 episode 2 will be released

So, Moderator Checklist:
Proper grammar.
Helpful/Respectful to community.
Hope Telltale takes notice
Challenge Accepted.
Mods don't really get that sort of insider information.
Well, it's not that intrinsically simple - but yeah, those steps help.
thanks
Inside information? Sure.

Ohyoupokedme Forgot have to flag people and posts to keep site free of spam and trolls need an assistant
Uh... flagging doesn't really... uh, work. At the moment.

Maybe this community should gather signatures and start a petition. We've got like six of them anyway.
I made this for you.

RABBLE!
Ive got the power...of the pimp hand
Nay, this is better.
Well, the other mods, obviously. And in case I manage to bribe/brainwash/blackmail them, the guys from Telltale have authority over all.
lol thanks great see mods here are up for bit of banter very rare in forums

Must have been fun cleaning that up. :P
We're always up for a bit of banter. Unfortunately, it's a matter of timing - most of the time it's not really appropriate for us to start having a bit of fun.
Ah, but back then we could just ban someone AND delete all their posts at the same time.
We can't do that these days - we have to manually delete each thread one. By. One.
I think it's fair to say that Sniper wins. This time.
As long as the conversation is not off topic, we are always up to chat.

trust me it works

Oh great. Now I have to use the ban hammer on myself.
To be fair, I DID mod a game once.
Not even kidding, that's my mod of Prince of Persia. Never did finish it - really should go back and do so one of these days.
