Basically just be around a lot and don't be too blatantly crazy so when it comes time to pick a new mod for something, somebody says "hey, how about Poster X." Also I used to get a surprising number of recommendation PMs from posters saying we should consider someone else in the forum, and I'm assuming the current admins still do.

All is for the best, in this, the best of all possible worlds
To become a mod, you must first have one of these three backgrounds:
  • A wealthy young man who was thrown out of his parents' posh Beverly Hills home;
  • A survivor of the ghetto; or
  • A former hooker arrested for vagrancy.
Next, you must be recruited by the chief of police to infiltrate the counterculture and nail adult criminals preying on clueless teens.

There you go! Welcome to the squad!

Poster X is incredible competition, I have to admit.

if the selection criteria are "be omnipresent and decorous" then it follows that all mods are centrists

Most kids do a little shitposting and threadshitting. A Krusty here, an "im gay" there, harmless fun, right?

What they don't realize is that some career paths are forever closed if you have that in your post history.

Lol if you think your puny attempts at subterfuge can fool the SA mod vetting apparatus. That poo poo is robust. It has to be. Otherwise we'd have pedophiles and insane shovel samurais getting elevated to modhood

Mods should be anonymous, or people who don't post much, because it's kinda bullshit to get probated for "mod sass" even if the mod is actually a tremendous rear end in a top hat that deserves sass

You should always immediately believe anything negative you hear about the mods because even if that particular thing isn't true, there's something at least as bad that you didn't hear about which is.
