    Qualification are you need to be a member for at least 3 years with 1500+ posts.
    Under that, you can apply but you need to really be distinct on why you want to apply.

    You will be required to deal with shitposts, spam and flame wars.
    On top of that you will have to maintain a neutral point of view. Many
    people don't realize being fair and neutral is the hardest part of being a moderator.
    Moderators are also responsible for steering conversation and when needed composing interesting
    topics.

    I am looking for mods in different time zones, so we have better coverage.

    We are currently heavily represented in the Japan and UK time zones, so we need more diverse time zones if possible.

    Pacific time -8 gmt (california)
    Australia +10 gmt or abouts (sydney)
    Moscow gmt +5 or about that
    Eastern -6 gmt (eastern coast of united states)

    Mind you we will take what we get, but extra points if you live in any of those zones.

    Also available are subforum specific moderation positions, if you really love
    playstation development, apply for just that section.

    I might consider it at this point, I know I've typically shied away in the past but I do have some more time on my hands. Send me a PM.

    Im in the East Coast time zone, but i dont quite meet the post requirements, lol. As i said in the other post, there are way better choices than me that are much more active, but if you really need someone from my time zone and cant find anyone else, im here :)

    We still have UK moderators?!

    Legit and Barc0de have both posted I think under 10 times throughout 2014. Paulo hasn't been on since before Christmas. Was Parris a mod? He hasn't been on the site in nearly a year!

    I don't really consider that heavily represented! Or am I missing someone? ;)

    Id be up for it. Administrated and moderated large forums before. Recently got a lot more time on my hands too.

    And while opinionated, as above I've got experience and can keep business to business.

    Well... if you're accepting UK applications, I'll put myself forward, too. I'm more often than not on EST anyway, as I'm chatting with friends and not an early riser! ;)

    It makes sense to step up, as I often find myself having to report posts in the wrong forum or not following rules (e.g. in the marketplace).

    If you'd rather wait for a true East coaster, though - no problem! ;)

    I'll join you :)

    I'll throw my hat into the ring if you're really desperate for a California/Colorado person. Since I have a really low post count, might want to put me at the end of the list.

    I'm in one of the "wanted" zones, but lacking the time and the posts. :(

    But someday.... :)

    I'd be up for being mod, but it seems I'm about 200 posts short ( I was really busy towards the end of last year).
    Eastern timezone.
    I have also been here for 3 years.
    I want to be moderator because I love the community, I have become friends with many people and would love to do what I can to help.
    I'm also up for nintendo moderator.
