Here are some Frequently Asked Questions about the Moderator Application. If you have another question that is not on the list, just ask in the thread.

1. What are the qualifications for being a moderator?
You need to be at least 15 years old, be respected in the community (not fighting, helping members, etc.), be active for at least 2 months. Being premium is a plus, but you can still become moderator if you aren't premium.


2. What if I'm not 15 yet?
My famous saying "Age is just a number". It all depends if your mature enough to be a staff member.

3. What if I'm a moderator on another forum?
Then, we will have to check if the forum is a enemy to NextGenUpdate. But if it not, they you'll be fine.

4. I don't have experience in vBulletin. Is that bad?
vBulletin is the most user-friendly forum software. So you'll pick up how to use the Moderator Control Panel fast.


5. I don't have good grammar. Will that hurt me?

You need to have decent grammar, like Hurkle says. Y0u cant ta1k leik dis. You need to have grammar that people can understand.

6. Wait! I messed up something on my mod app! What should I do?
Then, just PM a Administrator or a Super Moderator about the mistake. They will understand, we all make mistakes. Winky Winky

7. Will I be notified if my staff app is denied?
No, sorry.

8. Will infractions hurt my chances?
Yes they will. If you had 1 warning for a little thing (e.g. double post) it's probably not going to hurt you. If you have a large infraction (e.g. Scamming), that will your chances.


Hope this helps you with your Mod Apps!

This helps a lot. I messed up my app so I sent in another instead :/ I don't pass the age requirement but I don't think that'll be a factor.

Same with me Richie. I didn't mess up really,but if I could go back and edit my app,I'd make it a lot better.

I don't meet the age requirement,but I think that won't apply for me,but you never know.

Another thing that should be added to the Faq:

No infractions
and The post count limit. (like how many posts you need to apply)
