Check out our newest feature:
http://forums.the-bell-tree.com/pages/newmods/
These forms won't be used like applications exactly, but they will help us get a better idea of who should be a moderator (and who wants to be one). We never had to do this before because we knew all of the members. But now there are so many! We may also do it the old way and just talk to someone who we think will make a good moderator.
Make sure you are honest in all of the fields. For example, some sneaky people might think it's a good idea to request him/herself under a different name... as if we couldn't just PM the person making the suggestion. So we aren't that dumb.
Don't be scared by the age section. Most of TBT's moderators have been teenagers. In fact I started the forum when I was 14. So don't think you need to be in your 20s or 30s to be a mod. This often helps us see if the person is mature and responsible, but age is obviously not the main factor in determining whether someone is mature. Experience is also not a big deal, since most people don't have prior experience. But it is a good thing to point out if you have it.
Since these will simply help us decide who we should keep an eye on, the next moderator will still not be promoted for some time. Remember that there are thousands of members at this forum and very few staff members, so do not take it personally if someone else is promoted instead of you. Please trust and respect our final decision and know that being promoted to moderator at a large forum like The Bell Tree is very rare.
