How to become a Monitor

So I have seen posts like this before and the Monitors always kind of joke around. There is nothing wrong with that, but I’m asking for a straight answer.
-Are you handpicked by 343 Employees?
-Or do you have to Max out your Forum Rank?
If I’m wrong with both of my questions then make fun of me lol :joy:
But I’m just asking for a straight answer this time please.

I think 343 has to ask you after you prove yourself worthy.

The reason mods give joke answers is because we’re not at liberty to disclose the behind-the-scenes stuff. The only way to learn how to become a Monitor is by becoming one.

I’ve always heard that there’s some sort of ropes course you have to complete as your final test. Pretty fascinating, really.

That’s some quality wisdom right there, folks

Ahh ok

Yeah I think the forerunners have to create you or something.

Those were jokes?

More or less. It’s a process you have no direct influence over. But it’s pretty easy to figure out what makes a good candidate.

Definitely not.

I dont think they reveal the process on purpose probably because they dont want an influx of people wanting to be monitors.

Namely because they want smooth moderation and not any power thirsty nerds looking to get moderator status so they can enforce their petty whims which is the frequent bane of forum sites.

I mean they’re just the guys who enforce the forum rules, beyond that they’re really no different to anyone else. Frankly I wouldnt want to be a moderator.

Honestly it’s just a potion. You need to add the ingredients to a class iv cauldron and leave them to boil
Sweat from a ghost
tears of a vampire bat
the severed hand of a left handed man executed at midnight
one live chinchilla
ground sapphire
7 half gallons of chicken stock
a rabbit’s foot.
1tbsp cinnamon
fresh squeezed juice from a satsuma
fresh squeezed juice from a rock
1 pint maple syrup
A pinch of juniper berry
12 shavings of a 3 day old leek
32 tomatoes
a rabbit that’s missing one foot
Just stir regularly for 36 hours or until it thickens serve on linguini. If succesful your forum rank should change with the new moon

Don’t try this. I used this recipe and my rib cage inverted.

12 shavings from a 3 day old leek would be enough to kill me :joy:

You get a sweet maxed out forum rank that you can brag to your friends about.

I tried to use my ODST - Onyx rank to pick up chicks but you really gotta get the Spartan rank to impress them.
