Q: I really want to be a moderator, but I think the reason I'm not is because my sister asks really goofy questions on my site and gets me banned. So if you could tell me how to get to be a moderator, that would be great.
being a moderator isn't that great. you don't get extra stars by your name or a special icon or something, you're just expected to rank questions for the good of the website. so you're not missing out that much, don't worry. currently, we have enough moderators so I kicked all "once banned" people out of consideration, but someday we might add a time limit (if you were banned a month ago it's okay, or something like that)

thnx, let me know when the time limit thing works

This advice column is for suggestions, comments, or error reporting about advicenators. If you'd like to suggest a new category, ask me a question. If you'd like to whine, bitch, or complain about advicenators, you may whine, bitch, or complain to me.

Three rules though:
1) Do not ask me for life advice. We have several thousand other members that do that.

2) Do not ask for help, or ask how to do something, or ask about
how something on the site works, unless you've read every word of our help pages and you're sure it's not addressed there.

3) Do not ask me to ban someone or investigate abuse. We have an entire abuse system set up for that.

If you disobey one of these rules, I'll delete your question.

Some guidelines about suggestions:
If you offer a suggestion that I find interesting, I might just ignore your question so it stays in my inbox as a reminder of something to do. Don't be upset that I don't answer you, and don't delete your questions (because then I'll forget!)

If you have three suggestions, please ask three separate questions, that way I can address each one individually. It's a real pain when people ask one question with like twenty different topics in it; I can't keep them straight.
