Moderation... What do they do?

I am Kilikka, a veteran nation who has been around for some time to tell anyone new about moderation. I, however, am not a moderator, and therefor most of this is my assumption. But onto mods, some people may wonder what they do.

Moderators are in public terms, the "police" of the site. Mainly they drift about and delete bad posts, give advice, and tell people what not to do to lose their nation. They also have some power on editing things, such as... oh, i'd guess peoples accounts, y'know... freeze and un-freeze stuff. I think that the mods are appointed by the administrator, whom i have talked with before. that's really all i can think of.

Now then, some of you may wonder how do people get to be mods? :confused:

You are given the title "Game Moderator" if you are an honest person who logs on often and makes helpful posts to make life easier for the other people. By helpful posts I mean posted in the forums (not your region). Do NOT ask to be a mod, I am told. This is said to DECREASE your chances of being selected... that's about it, really.

Well, I hope this will answer some of your questions. :cool:

Oh... dont forget that there is a diff in a game mod and a forum mod
