The mods are just joking around xD Zr and Prof Gallows have been mods for a few months already.
They'll be announcing the actual new mods later!

Oh my lord at that little debate about age
at the end of the day age will come into it, sorry but an 11/12 year old could not be a mod surely? they could be insulted with rude language etc, have to move topics, that have been posting by spammers, who regularly post links on random forums to rude websites etc, and mods usually have these deleted before others see
Yes you may be mature, but theres a really for age restrictions on many things. A 12 year old may be mature but that doesn't mean they have the ability to deal with consequences like a 16 year old would or something
Basically, Age is always going to come into it, its one of the most clear cut ways to segregate and separate candidates in many areas. Yes a younger person could theoretically be more mature than someone older obviously, but that doesnt mean in like real life they could go get a job like that older person just because they are mature lol
Oh and obviously how long someone has been on here, will be a factor, it shows reliability, it shows that you wont just be on the forums for a few months and then get bored, or due to school not have as much commitment to log on etc

I repeat; if an 11 year old like myself wouldn't be considered, then we wouldn't be allowed to apply in the first place. It asks your age range. If anyone under 13 couldn't apply, then the option wouldn't be there/if we selected it, it would say we couldn't apply.
I'm used to rude language as my family cusses a lot, and I watch Family Guy. It's really not a problem.

I'm the same age as you (I'm pretty sure), and joined at roughly the same date, but I disagree about age being a huge factor to become a mod. Anyone, whether they're 16 or 12, is going to have some sort of flaw. Being older doesn't mean you have less flaws than someone younger than you, and it certainly doesn't mean that either side is more mature. Getting a job in real life, and getting a job on here are two way different things by the way. I'm pretty sure the people that become mods on here will at least start out as interns, if not get paid at all. In real life, when you get a job you're looking to earn money. On here, you're just looking to help better the community. In the end, anybody that becomes a mod is still going to have flaws that could have made them get not chosen, because only the people who act like their selves will have a chance. And nobody can get away from their selves. You, Kippla, and me have only been on the forums for a couple months for your information. Does that mean I'm going to get bored and have to leave because of school? Of course not. I only have 3 1/2 days of school, and the other half I'm off. I'm pretty sure the mods understand that most of us are going back to school soon. That doesn't mean we don't have a chance. A 12 year old could certainly deal with 16 year old consequences if they're mature enough. For example, I know a lot more about being an adult than most teenagers do. Sure, I can't experience it yet, but that doesn't mean I'm blind to reality. I think it's kind of selfish when people segregate their selves from other just because of ability. A 12 year old might have the ability to handle something a 16 year old can't. Same way around. Everyone has their strengths and flaws in life, and the ignorant people are the ones who don't accept that.

LOL FAMILY GUY is a bit different to say on other forums where people used to post sexualised images and things early hours in the morning as spam
I'm not saying that would happen on here, but mods do have to put up with a lot of quite adult things.
And yes people may be just as commited at school, but what i'm saying is due to the length of time we have been on, we haven't PROVED that is the case, words are just that words.
and i'm sorry to the post above, but i personally could never say i can even possibly understand how it is to be an adult. I certainly knows what goes on, but until i have been in the situation and experienced life as an adult, you cant possibly understand.

Anyway, regardless of all this i just hope the new moderators do get the respect they deserve, and it would be worrying that younger members if they became mods wouldnt get respect, and that would be wrong

I think you misunderstood what I meant. Some teenagers do understand and some don't. People who are older could not have been able to experience something that a younger person could. For example, if you go up to a senior citizen and show them your game and tell them it's a video game, they'll still not really have an idea of what you're talking about. They will understand you're playing a game though, because they had outdoor games when they were kids. Video games are just a more advanced version of it. Just because you don't experience something, doesn't mean you can't understand it. I know how someone makes a child because of sex education and having to watch a documentary on it. I understand it, even though I haven't experienced it yet (and I don't want to until I'm in my early thirties). If you couldn't understand something just because you haven't experienced it, then that would be like saying you don't understand what a job is, just because you haven't experienced it. Some people still understand because they know people that have told them about it. I'm not saying you can understand everything about being an adult if you haven't experienced it, but some things you can because you've heard and learned about it. If they're picked as mods, regardless of age, people are going to respect them because they had what it takes to make it. It's definitely not wrong. If you want to debate about it anymore, then just PM me please. This is a news thread, not a debate thread.

I thought that smiley tongue face was a drop of barbecue that landed on my kindle so I was trying to wipe it off and then I realized it was part of your post.

I can imagine. "Come on, why won't this barbecue sauce come o- oh, it's a smiley."
Guys, no need to fight over age in here.
I will say that Gizmodo has a point though. We do have to do deal with some pretty messed up stuff at times.
And amen to Sock. If you guys think being a mod is a prize... well, maybe you don't quite understand what it is.

I can't speak for everyone, but I understand it's not a prize. Others should realize it's not a prize too though. It's a job. And sorry about the fighting, I understand where they're coming from, but I just don't agree with people who have that kind of viewpoint. Everyone has a slightly different opinion about something though.

As far as I am aware, being a mod is pretty much community service.
So no, you don't get paid.
You're kidding, right?

On a dev's forums, you might get swag from time to time, otherwise, nope. It's a volunteer position, and generally a thankless one.
All that "loan" money has to go somewhere after all.
