Because of the power you have over other people? Why else would one become a moderator on an Internet forum.

- lawgimenez 4y agoI’ve been a mod for less than 3 months, someone just needs help moderating. Not sure if I agree about power, majority of users in our sub are kids and they can get wild if not moderated.
- heisenbit 4y agoBecause you were asked. When standing out in a forum and demonstrating consistency, responsibility and supporting attitude you may get asked. Larger boards are like organization with promotions. Abuse of power won‘t earn you one. There are steering structures. Sometime one has to adjust what moderators do and have a discussion on what happened. Occasionally one has to kick a moderator out. If you don‘t know why people help strangers then this may be worth a thing to investigate for you.
