no one wants to give people a chance around here

Bill your going down a slippery road if you aren't careful you will soon find yourself somehow incapacitated, you're group buy and potential group buys will cause the geekhack group buy leader curse to befall you, don't push your luck trying to be a moderator too, or you will be guaranteed to disappear, as so many before you have.

Don't worry I don't actually want to be a moderator.

Also, I don't think anyone that runs group buys or makes money off geekhackers (with the exception of people that run gbs at cost) should be a moderator.

Almost everyone who runs group buys makes money here. Some people actually make a substantial amount. Only exception I've seen is bunny's gbs which look to be at cost. There may be more that I'm not aware of.

Some people actually lose money off of GBs.  I got lucky and didn't lose any off the one I ran, but I also didn't make money.

I lost some money on my T-shirt GB.

Same on my hoodie buy, but it was under $20 so I considered it pretty good.

Love my hoodie! (That's worth at least $0.50 right? )

Honestly, the thanks from everyone was awesome.  I knew there was a risk of losing some $$ trying to keep things at what I paid, but have no problem with it at all.

I can say I have not, in fact, I haven't seen the inside of a 23u.  I wonder if it's any different than the tkls, though.  Keyboard science, we need you.

Looks like a normal RF cable to me, then, so I guess I have made cables for the 23u.

The community was nice enough to chip in to cover most of my costs but a lot of incidentals (tape, packing materials, etc) added up. Not that I'm complaining. I love seeing people in the shirts and I'm so thankful people donated money to help cover my costs. That made it worth it

Sorry about the off topic. Please continue with the regularly scheduled programming.

[bcredbottle]

Is web development or programming background necessary?

[Puddsy]

If nothing's changed, no.

I've been mostly AFK for 6 months, though, don't take my word for it

[user 18]

Is web development or programming background necessary?

No, web development is an administration task, not a moderation task.

[bcredbottle]

Thanks! BTW, what would you say is the usual time requirement per week?

Depends.

You get e-mailed for every report. Make of that what you will.

It's not a small thing, but it's not a huge time-eater.

[trenzafeeds]

Is there some other way I can directly give back to the community through time/effort without too much monetary commitment? I'd love to be a mod, but I feel like you folks wouldn't be interested in someone who's account isn't even old enough to post in the classifieds.

[Michael]

I would like to formally apply. Thank you, have a nice day.

But don't you know of the perks? Conspire with gb leaders who screw over people and make a fat profit, muahahaha!!!

Shouldn't Moderators be required to NOT run Group Buys or have a store?  Seems to cause lots of problems.

I don't recall there being any issues with brocaps, but I think he was joking anyway.

PS: If you're referencing Ivan, anyone could do it, and I don't think the two elements combine.

Yes there are mods around

Apparently mods/admins don't always show up in the online user display.

Like now, for instance.

I'm still around -- just got back from a few days without internet access, but I'm usually accessible by PM for any questions.

Although I'll be pleased to pass 22112 again.

post count has been reset a few times over the past few months, those of us who post a lot lost thousands of posts since not all posts count

If you're seriously interested, don't let a relatively low postcount stop you from applying. I direct you to:

I've been an effective moderator before, albeit not in a forum environment. I'd apply, but I think it would be laughable for someone with my post count (and newness to the forum in general) to end up a mod

which seems to have worked out okay
