My pov on moderator requirements

[Stijn]

Hello there people,

I want to give my opinion about some of the new/current staff members.
I see that some of the moderators made a forum account 1 week before they became moderator and some have only 5 messages. I find it very weird that they become moderator and some of the experienced users get denied.
I would like to see 2 new requirements added for becomming a moderator.

-At least 1 month active member (both ingame and on the forums)
-At least 150 messages and 10 hours of gameplay experience.

In this way they get to know the community better and the community get to know them better.
Also I would like to see the accepted moderator applies on the forums, to see what kind of people get accepted.
I know that some of the experienced survival games players support my vision.
I would love to see your opinion on this.

Edit: I do not want any flamewars here, I'm just giving my opinion and want to see what others think.

As a moderator, it doesn't necessarily matter how active you are on the forums as opposed to in game. The forums aren't as "booming" as in game, so it's actually not as easy to get that many posts.

Take me for example, I'm one of the most active players in game, yet I only have 60 some posts on the forums. I lurk the forums quite a bit, but don't post. I'm always watching! Remember, as a mod, it's about banning the hackers, not being really active on these forums (though it is a plus).

I don't have over 150 messages, but I'm familiar with the majority of the community. You made some good points, but statistics don't always accurately represent how well a staff member knows the community. I know a bunch of mods are more active on teamspeak and on servers than they are on the forums. It balances out.

Well everyone can make 150 posts in one month, and it will make the forums much more active.
But as I said it is good to communicate with the other members on the forums.

Well only with the people who are able to get on teamspeak.
But as you said, statistics are not everything.

I think 150 is just right.

I play on the EU servers.
I don't know what you're trying to say but I do not wish to become a moderator ingame.
First of all I do not want that responsibility and second I can't play all the time.
