Having been considered to be a mod twice on SA. I can tell you it’s 100% based on sycophancy, because any mod or admin can veto the nomination at any time for any reason and you’re basically out. First time (Games forum mod at its inception in 2002 or whenever) I got blocked by EPG, second time (when slowbeef stepped down from being LP mod in 2008 or so) by one of the Games mods, maybe Axemaniac, I can’t remember.

But the point is it literally only takes one person to say no.

Edit: to be absolutely clear, I never lobbied or petitioned to be mod, the initial list is usually formed from “who posts the most?” unless the previous mod suggested some specific people. True for most forums, really.

Games was hilariously enough initally a containment forum for console war horseshit that was everywhere in GBS and FYAD. That’s why it’s one of the oldest subforums.

SA Mod makes a comic where your posting career is turned into a toilet.
 
You have to question who would volunteer to moderate a forum for free. Why? it's either wanting to go on a power trip or you literally have mental issues.

Well, you have those innovators like ZDR and Koala's Mooch who figured out how to make it a paying gig

He didn't have to see the utter den of faggotry that TFR became. I know a poster that actually sold all his firearms because of the mass shooting thread in TFR. Talk about fucking cucked.

It was Beer4theBeerGod
 
I don't remember that guy, I left TFR once everyone starting sucking Cyrano's cock. By then there were much better gun boards not filled with boomers.

Any news on Cyrano the toddler fucker? I can't imagine he totally left SA since TFR has been dick riding him for the past decade.

He only ancillary posted in TFR. He was a big Star Scamizen goon though.
 
Slowbeef was pretty good, the LP forum would have been so much worse with pretty much anyone else in charge. And I’m well aware how shitty it was.

said poster would later also be made a mod in another subforum (whatever's for tabletop gaming I think it was) before getting cancelled by QCS bitching when he wouldn't entertain every little oppression bitchfit about 'muh racism' or whatever lol. so I guess he did at least have some balls left after that, which the woke brigade promptly neutered.
