Mods in training

I would like to make a suggestion.

  • I had the chance to meet some really great players in these few months, players that i believe requested to be a mod and they are still waiting to become one.
  • There should be a program called "Training to become a moderator", where 4 people (for example) are selected to become a "mod in training". They will be given the chance to learn and prove they are worth getting the position. This "internship" will last one or 2 weeks and when it ends the mod team will pick one person for the job.
  • Maybe this way more people willl get the chance to see how modding works and if they are up to the task.
Is this a good idea?

in the sense that even greasemonkey isn't enough to figure out if the page has an h/l

there's a greasemonkey script that foxie made specifically to show if a page had a hidden link or something like that iirc

no but there was a good way to avoid getting hidden linked except i forget what it was since i never had it

i think it was an add-on

my first act as mod would be to avoid opening the "We're modding you!!!! :)" pm that they send because that's classic Hidden Link bait.

if i was a mod, i'd be smart and not open any pms at all.


If only it were so easy.

mods really suck at not getting hidden linked. i need to teach a seminar on it


I have a feeling your teachings would be decidedly out of date, but you're free to give me all your tips.


you have literally nothing to base that on even though i survived Hidden Linkin 2k14 when gary was trying to HL all the mods

so did arcbell get into mist's account too


Pretty much. Luckily he likes me, so nothing malicious yet. Or at least, he doesn't dislike me.

It's actually not a bad idea

i guess if mods don't use this as an excuse to mod people like Howl or laurierose then sure. by all means.
