I believe you had to have started with the site a while ago. They can be found on a tab to the left on home page. Here is link- http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...showgroups.php

ah i see........................... Oh well.

Actually, not true. Just because you didn't start with the site, doesn't make you ineligible to be a Mod, although time on the site is considered. Eh.. I'll go ahead and let a quote from Maximvs on the matter take care of it

For starters - one must follow the rules for the forms as stated in the Policies and Disclaimers which you agreed to when you signed up

There are other areas as well. You are vetted by existing staff for posting style, accountability, information, contribution and control. You also have to have been a member long enough that these decisions can be made in good judgement, then if all is well over time you may be approached by the higher staff.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up Del.

Do you have a long-haired cat? The short-haired ones can't be trusted. No rabbits either.

Honestly it goes along the lines of how men were shanghai'd back in the old days. A few drinks and suddenly *THUNK* -- You're on the next vessel to the high seas without a farthing to call your mum. Except there were no phones back then. I suppose a homing pigeon would be out of the question, unless you jury rigged some wings from spare planks and tied them to a rat. Course he wouldn't get too far to home. Unless Davy Jones' locker counts.

What was the question? Oh! Moderators.... I stand by my shanghai analogy.


On the serious side, one should not seek to become a mod. It's more work than many realize. If by chance someone is approached, run for the hills!!!!

(the rum is soooooo worth it though)

I really liked the analogy.
