It is not something we take lightly and not something we advertise for. I generally run under the premise that if someone wants to be a L2 mod, then I don't want them to be a L2 mod. It is not a privilege, it is a responsibility. Most L2s have been here for a long time, have proven to be consistently fair in their giving of advice, and show an active leadership role on the site.

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." -- [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
