The process starts when the Admins, SuperMods and Mods thinking that more moderators are needed in a specific area (a region or a specific car model).
We then ask for recommendations from the SuperMods and Mods.
We check out the posting and infraction histories, and try to get a feel for how those folks interact with others - are they helpful, do they volunteer information freely, do they appear to have the respect of others, are they well known, visible, in the community?
Those that make it through the initial screening are then asked if they would want the job if offered.
Eventually, someone is offered the job(s) and becomes a moderator for some small portion of the site.
"Seasoned" Mods are the "pool" for the SuperMod ranks when we need to add at that level. The experience they have gathered at the moderator level in a small portion of the site is very helpful for them when they move to a position that can affect ALL areas of the site.
The SuperMods also act as "trainers" for the Mods, offer guidance, and answer questions.
Now, I know that we have some areas of the site that are not covered as well as we would like, and could use some "hands-on" from a moderator that is involved with those areas and has the desire and dedication to take the knocks involved with doing a moderator's job.
What area might YOU be looking at?

I've been looking at the classifieds mostly. I also wanted to bring up that the registry itself seems overloaded with inactive members. Of course this is just speculation as I can't really see who was last online unless I go one by one. I would just like to help out and keep the site current and up to date as much as possible.

Tomorrow is Friday the Thirteenth, folks, and being the second Friday in the Month of January it is time for the Monthly M&G at the usual place...
Will most likely be a short M&G as most of us will probably want to come in from the cold and get to the serious eating and such...
