So I was really just wondering how exactly would I become a Waypoint moderator/Monitor. Is there specifically amything I have to do or are they just chosen at random . Is there a test to get in etc etc .
If anyone has info about this please could you let me know . Thx
Peace (Ftw) Out. Fahim
They will ask you.
What you can do is be a helpful member and maby they’ll ask you someday.
Moderators are (most likely) chosen semi-randomly from a pool of candidates who fill certain criteria. The criteria probably includes things such as being helpful and nice, being able to have the right tone for the right moment, being active, and so on. In other words, you really only need to be a good person and a an active member to have a shot at getting to be a moderator. However, there is no certain guaranteed way to get yourself to that status.
Damn, I wish I could do that. Since I do stuff like that for a living, and make big bucks. But doing this just as a hobby is pretty interesting.
The monitors select those who are not only kind and constructive with their post, but those who go out of their way to try to diffuse situation, who are very active, and overall great members.
There were three members who were made into superintendents who all truly deserve the “monitor/superintendent status.”
If you really want to be a monitor, it will require a lot more time on Waypoint. Remember, just because you have a high post count doesn’t make you worthy of being a monitor.
It also doesn’t hurt to throw a bribe their way 
You have to be dedicated and set a good example and then you may be chosen if more mods are needed. But that’s about it, there is no application and bribing the admins with cats wont work, they seem to have cat pics for everything already anyways…
Overall, I think tsassi said it best.
You should get in line between the hundreds/thousands of others.

Well that’s a downer.
Promotion to the coveted ranks of “Superintendent” and “Monitor” requires that a candidate be able to endure a harrowing Trial. Candidacy itself is relatively straightforward: we test anyone who looks like they would have a chance at passing a Trial.
The necessary Trial has always differed from candidate to candidate. Some of us have had to fight off packs of ravenous rabid wolves with one hand while flying a damaged plane with the other, in a deserted stretch of mountainous terrain devoid of any safe landing zones. Others have been faced with the challenge of riding a unicycle on a tightrope stretching across an eight-hundred-foot drop, while being attacked by hordes of angry bees. My own Trial was particularly torturous, involving a shooting gallery carnival game, me hanging upside-down from a ceiling, and a very angry, very well-armed Liam Neeson celebrity impersonator.
(“I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you’re looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. What I do have are a particular set of skills. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my stacks of gaudy plastic bottles go, that will be the end of it. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you (because you’re five feet away from my face), and I will kill you.”)
Perhaps someday, you will be selected to face a Trial of your own. In the event that that occurs, I wish you good luck.
(Actually, it’s pretty much everything that tsassi, Austin7934, Schatten, and the others said.)

Great movie. Liam Neeson is my favourite actor.

I was sent a box of full packing peanuts and a wooden spork at the beginning of my trial. I’m still not sure what it’s for…

I was only given a page that said “Can’t Run”, then suddenly felt like I was being followed everywhere.
Dude, moderating in a forest is creepy. Don’t try it.
But it’s as everyone else has said! Be active and helpful, rather than just spamming posts everywhere! One day, you might receive a special message!
