Become a moderator in one community

Becoming a moderator in one community is a genuine, significant escalation of your involvement, granting real, formal authority and standing within that forum, distinct from any level of regular participation.

Moderator status is genuine, earned recognition of trust and contribution, and provides real, substantial ongoing visibility and authority within the community.

How to do it

1. 1
   Build genuine, sustained, high-quality contribution first

   Real, extended track record — this is not requested early, it is earned.
2. 2
   Express genuine interest when appropriate

   Many forums recruit moderators from active, trusted contributors.
3. 3
   Take the real responsibility seriously if offered

   Genuine commitment to the community's actual interest, not just personal visibility.
