Is being a mod something I can/should put on my resume? I'm not a gamefaqs mod (yet), but I've modded quite a few popular forums over the years. I've also been offered a position as a moderator of a pretty popular subreddit but I turned it down because Reddit is more like Facebook than a traditional forum

I heard mods get free orgies all the time, sports cars to drive as long as they mod at least a few posts a day, and they also live longer and stay healthier.

Mods are so lucky.

Unless youre applying to a position for a website administrator or moderator or other website-related position, keep the experience of being a mod out of your resume. Keep your resume for real life jobs professional.

Unless they received a paycheck, its really more of a hobby or community service.

Community service and volunteer experience are good things to put on a resume

youll get hired for sure and probably get laid too

Ive had more luck with the who-you-know than the what-you-know, personally. One place tossed my resume out and said It isnt possible for you to know anything about what we do here. and hired me.

Be sure to note that its just a message board moderator, though.

Specify GameFAQs so they can be extra sure that you know what youre doing.

Putting "message board moderator" on a resume would just make you look like a completely ridiculous person. So yes nothing would be better in that case.

Not going to lie, since I became an admin on a server a few years ago, I've learned a lot of social skills and I've had to step in as a middle manager to explain why, say, an application really wasn't ok with how they applied their humor.

That being said, I sure as hell ain't gonna put that on my resume.
