You must meet these qualifications: Level 1
You've been rated five times
Your average rating is at least 4
You joined one month ago
If you've ever been banned, it was at least six weeks ago
You've updated your column in the last week
How do you get to be a level II moderator?
Since level II moderators can do a lot, we try to only have 10 or so at a time. If one dies, we promote a new one. To pick the new one, we look at who among the level I mods has been here the longest, then we look at their advice column, how they've rated questions, the whole bit. Since level II mods have to approve and rate every question, we only pick people who rate questions like crazy. We also only pick people who've been here a really long time, because we need to know you've got some staying power on the site.
Unlike the level I job, level II isn't something you get automatically for being your cool self, we have to need more level II mods for someone to become one. So if you don't get to be one, you shouldn't be upset.
What do level 3 moderators do?
Level III mods are just like level II mods, except they can ban people forever instead of just up to 5 days. Currently there's only four level III moderators, and the primary one wrote the website, that's why she gets the job. You will probably never be a level III moderator.
