It could take years of dedication to this website before becoming a level 2 moderator.

Some things you must know before even being considered.

Read the FAQ - it's a must
Read the Terms of Service - another must.

Make sure to participate in the moderator discussions, but do not "take them over". Don't post just to post, make sure you have something to say. Also, the moderator discussion is for site questions, problems, etc. Yes, we can have 1-2 "fun" threads, but in the past they have gotten out of control, so they're more limited now.

Also, RATE QUESTIONS!! Try rating at least 5 questions per day. I would actually suggest rating a minimum of one full page of questions per day, but do what you have time for.
To be a level 2 moderator, you have to have time and dedication. I've actually been slacking on my duties, but I'm catching up. DN, the site owner, knows I've just started college and am doing a balancing act.

Answer questions and rate fairly!

When rating questions: 1s are for questions you see all of the time, they're plain dumb, or they have horrible chat speak.
2s are for decent questions that have nearly perfect spelling/grammar. There are some mistakes, but they've attempted. Also, the question is decent.
3s are for great questions. They're unique, and the questioneer uses the best spelling/grammar they possibly can. The question is clear, you understand what they're asking, and it's a good question for first time site-users to come across.

This site is not just for teenagers, plenty of adults use it (although some are turned away when they see the immaturity level of some users).

Rating Answers:
1s are for abusive answers ONLY. If you rate someone a one, you're saying they deserve to be warned or banned. You must always follow a 1 with an abuse report (& make sure to always include a link to the abuse & a reason why you feel it's abuse). An over abundance of foul language, advising illegal, dangerous, or strongly immoral behavior advice can be considered abusive
2s are for answers that don't help you, but they aren't harmful or abusive.
3s are for good answers. You may not use the advice, but you definitely considered it.
4s are for good advice that you actually use. You like it, it's helpful, and you appreciate the adviser helping you.
5s are for above & beyond answers. The advice was great, you used it, and it REALLY helped your situation. The adviser went above and beyond to help you; they could have looked something up or gave you more than you asked for.


To be an L2, you can't use text speak. ('u' instead of you, for example.)

There are very few L2s, and as far as I know, Dangernerd has already picked out who he plans on bumping up.
Stick around on the site, show that you're dedicated, and maybe in a year or so, if the site needs help, you can be bumped up.
No guarantees, but you never know.

Dedication to the site & following rules is very important. If you've already been banned, chances aren't as great as someone with a clean record. Stay out of trouble, follow site rules, and answer & rate as many questions as possible. You want to make yourself known & for good reasons.

Unfortunately, as I've already said, you'll have to stick around for a good amount of time. Creating more L2s is extremely rare, but it can happen. We need those who are dedicated to the site, so if we see you've been here and active for a year or more, you'll probably be considered much more than someone who has not.
