I would like to know what one needs to do to become an admin/ moderator person. Also, what do the ratings under each person's user name mean, such as apprentice.

1. To become a moderator, you must be a helpful, upstanding, clean member of Spiderweb for a long time. When a moderator spot opens, a member who has the above qualities is selected to fill the position. Chances are, newbies like us will never become moderators. I have no idea what you have to do to become an administrator, but as far as I know, Spidweb and Drakefyre are the only administrators the boards have ever had. Since Spidweb (Jeff Vogel) only pops in about once a month to comment on the BoA boards, Drakefyre is the real admin.

2. The "ratings" below your username are titles which are based on your post count. From the FAQ:

0-50 posts
Apprentice

50-100
Journeyman

100-250
Citizen of Exile

250-500
Adept

500-1000
Erudite

1000-2000
Veteran

2000-3500
Guru

3500-5000
Frolicking in Postland

5000-7500
Postmaster General

7500+
Your Postliness

There are also custom titles, and there are lots of topics with information about them, so I won't explain them here. I'm not too sure I understand them myself, anyway.

Welcome to Spiderweb! Don't spam, use good grammar and spelling to the best of your abilities, and only join the RPs if you're the responsible, enduring type. :)

EDIT: Also, ignore Scorp.

Not wishing to appear unfriendly, but why is this question in Tech Support?

I have no idea, but...

One requirement is to be not annoying...

Another is to not be me.

And another is to follow the CoC.

As for actually becoming a Mod...

The have fixed elections whenever they need a new one. Basically it goes something like this...

Mod 1: Is he/she someone likeable?

Mod 5:Who cares?!?

Mod 3: Yeah, that person's a friend of mine.

Mod 2: Good enough. We now have another mod.

All Mods: Yay!

-Or something like that...
