When was your tenure? Mine was 2001-2010.

At first it honestly wasn't a big deal. Get a little power rush from slapping down troublemakers and move on with my day. The users made it easier back then.

As the years went on and people got older, more bitter, and better at trying to skirt the rules (having broken them for a decade), it was just draining. I'm so glad I got out when I did because that curve just kept sliding down.

No "I was?" option? 2005 - 2014.

I legitimately don't remember anymore. I started before mid-2003, at least, I only had about 400 karma and that was the bare minimum at the time. I think I was in the first batch where mods started having different levels? We were all picked to monitor different sections at the time. I quit around 2010, maybe? I don't remember when, but that was the last time I remember still being a mod.

It felt bad constantly having to look at all the dreck that gets posted by people, and that stupid coloured bar (that was condition "black" 95% of the time) constantly reminding you how you weren't looking at enough dreck was depressing and made even visiting the site to do normal posting feel bad. There was theoretically no "quota", but I recall topics shaming people for not doing enough work on the mod boards. Devin took the job very seriously, I guess that worked out alright for him.

You can't.

Seriously, new moderators are only chosen a few times a year, and the minimum requirements for applying are very steep. Even so, hundreds apply, but only a few are selected. If you seriously want to be a moderator, you'll likely (but not always) need to have a history on GameFAQs that makes you recognizable to the majority of the user-base for several years to even be considered. Pestering the current moderators or admins to become a moderator essentially guarantees that you won't be selected.

Ayup. Well I just hope he enjoys what he's doing now. That's the important thing. While this site will never pay the bills for me, it's nice to get a little compensation every once in a while.

Hundreds? That's like the entirety of this site's userbase.

I doubt this very much.

In fact, I think being well known I'd probably going to be a bad thing most of the time. Most of the people who are recognisable on here are for all the wrong reasons.

Not here
I've been admin/mod on some sites including the most popular one in Ireland.
This place has one of the worse reputations on the website that isn't politically biased for mods. Resetera for example is accused of being too liberal. But this place? It's just seen as utter shite how it's ran.

Maybe if someone better than cjay or alan took over

I was a mod on a smaller forum years ago.

Seeing people's alts was hilarious. One dude claimed to be a right wing Christian. He was a complete asshole. He'd flirt with this 18 year old blonde "Kimberly". They were actually the same person. Their online affair went on for over a year.

The forum eventually self destructed and the mods exposed the alt before it was over.

That was fun but a board this size would suck.
