He is a moderator because I stepped down from being listed as a moderator for the modding section and asked that he be promoted in my place since he has really deserved it for all teh hard work he has done....since I also have been helping him learn what he can too regarding lua and other things. Steman aka prosecute is still a section mod in the modding section but is just temporarily removed from the listing until he returns to BB after which he will have his section mod abilities returned to him.
and @ xNarumi....
The reason why you are not a moderator or even a staff member yet is simple. You have made it very plain that you really want a position there and it is something that should never ever be asked or begged for since that just means the person asking is only after power and not really serious about doing the job as a proper staff member. That and the fact that swegta has worked very hard to earn what was given to him....he has been very active in the modding community...always helping when he can and never jumping on the newbies for asking even annoying questions and is always very precise about his posts.
Being picked to be a moderator whether its section moderator...full moderator or whatever is something that happens for very specific reasons....it is something that HAS to be earned and only the forum staff can decide who they will pick for such a position. Trust is another thing that goes hand in hand with getting a staff position since if the person is deemed very trustworthy....then that really helps but if ppl consider that person not quite trustworthy enough....then they will simply not get it at that time.
Chrissy does not just hand out staff positions to anyone that asks for it.....since any good admin knows that if one were to just hand out any position to anyone that asks....then it kinda defeats the purpose of the staff tiers that are used on various forums out there...BB being no exception to that rule.
Even on forums where I hold a admin position I NEVER hand out a staff spot to just anyone and I carefully watch people and make an offer to those that I consider worthy of being considered as staff. I also talk it over with my own staff to make sure that everyone agrees...etc with that and basicly hold a vote at times....that is how I do things like in my clan for example....
I know it may seem unfair....but think of it from the other side of things...if you were in chrissy's shoes and were trying to decide whether to pick a staff member for your own forum....would you just promote anyone that asks? or would you base your decision on the actions of the individual in question and how they interact with the community?
If you work hard enough....maybe you will be considered for a staff position...but it takes real hard work and dedication to do that....and not everyone is cut out to handle that. Just ask the staff here about that and they will agree with me on what I just said.
