Im just curious as to how someone would go about this. Im not saying I would be the perfect mod, but I think it would be cool to at least know what the criteria are, and how I could meet said criteria. Plus I have no idea if a thread like this, asking the same question, already has been made. And it seems very likely it has. But seeing as General is completely overpopulated by irrelevant threads, I don't have until the Sun becomes a red giant to look for it.
There isn't any real set of requirments. Generally Simon doesn't even choose new moderators often. The last one was jacob1 and he made large contributions to the game via code.
In other terms, making an impactful code contribution is the only way these days. Making reports and such add to that, but the last moderator to be pulled in as a volunteer was when the moderator rank was created years ago.
