If you want a moderating position here the first thing you NEVER do is ASK to be a moderator. If you want to potentially be a moderator, things come into play...how old are you? How long have you been with Trap17? Are you active enough? What's your reputation as a member?

Those are just a few of many things that should be taken into consideration when selecting moderators. So, if you ever want to be of higher rank here, work to have a good reputation. Be consistent in following our TOS when posting and be courteous and helpful with others. If you do so, moderators and admins will surely see this and down the road take you into consideration.

Being a moderator myself (on other forums, of course), I find that sometimes moderating may be a bit of hard work to handle. However, on this site, I feel that the moderators do their jobs pretty well.

Best,

I can't really say anything for or against the moderator, me still being a lil new to this forum. But I'll say that I got 'moderated' only once because of posting a topic that already existed. But I must say the moderator (mayank) did his part weel without ticking me off (be afraid, very afraid... Just kidding!). And the forums all seem to be clean of any traces of spam. But, I still can't reach a conclusion

My Views -> My Views

I have a whole megila to say about Trap17 and its moderation. When I first joined the Trap, I was not used to moderated forums (BusTalk.Net wasn't heavily moderated at all). I didn't have much experience with my posts being moderated (I make such wonderful posts ), so moderation was a new thing to me. As time went on, I noticed posts with those note tag thingies that we can't use, but didn't have much thought about the moderation. The only time I had a confrontation with a Mod/Admin was when BuffaloHELP closed a topic I made, saying that the topic was already being discussed elsewhere (and even gave me a link to a topic that was pretty different). Now I am somewhat more appreciative of moderators, although I still keep up the good work making clean and informative posts .

Th mods and admin are doing there job excellently, they provide up to date help and resolve issues extremely quickly, they have sorted out many and when i say many i mean many problems i have had, so i just want to take the time to thank them so much for what they have done for me, i had a problem with my cpanel being unable to login and then within 15 minutes they had sorted the problem and i was back in, so they did a really fantastic job and i highly recommend them!!! so thank you mods and dmin fot he job you do its great, nice one and keep up the brilliant work that you have been doing, thank you so much thanks

I Believe they are doing a danm good Job. With all the abuse and anger that is aimed at them. I've been a moderator to forums before and found it extremely hard. You would come across people who just think you are stupid and know nothing. You cant seem angry or annoyed even. You are Continuosly judged on how you speak to people.

This Forum's mods are particulaly good. They know what they are looking for.
