How do i become a moderator?

[DoctorTheo]

I have an interest on becoming a moderator. Is there any way that I could become one?

[Start_Running]

Nope. The sort of person that seeks to become a moderator is not the sort of person valve allows to be a moderator

[Linerax]

When you are asked only.

That is not entirely true. A person may see a forum going downhill and want to make it better.

Nobody knows what "kind of person" the OP is, or what kind of people ask to be a mod.

[Washell]

If you're active, helpful and stand out in a good way you may get asked to be a mod when they need new ones.

[BloodShed]

You have to chosen or been chosen to become a moderator.

It's easy, really.
1) Make your own game
2) Get it on Steam
3) You now have the power to appoint moderators on your game's forum

This question has been asked numerous times. You can start by using a search engine to find your answer.

Also, most moderators have Steam profiles that are close to a decade old or higher. This may suggest that you are at a disadvantage if Valve were to select a candidate to fill in a open spot for a forum moderator.

Asking to be a moderator is the best way not to be chosen as.

Why even bother? Most of the mods on this site are useless anyways. This site is already cluttered with so much garbage that just remains there forever.

I'd normally write a big long spiel on the arcane ritual, but it's this simple right now:

1) Club
2) Hair Pull
3) Drag Back to Cave

If you are talking about the big Steam forums, like these, you can be selected by Valve to serve as a community-wide moderator.

If you are talking about a specific game's forums, you can be selected by the game's developers to serve as a game forum moderator.

There is no formal application process.

If you would like to help the moderation process, just be sure to be helpful to other users, stay civil and calm, and report posts/threads that break the rules.

How do you even make your own game?

Volunteer Moderators are selected users within the community that have a history of positive contribution to the community, helping users without expectations of receiving anything in return, and many other attributes. Show your commitment within the community, get around and genuinely help users with accurate feedback & information. Steam's Volunteer Moderators should not be a position sought after, it's a position that should be given through genuine help and positive contribution to the community.

The only "power" a Volunteer Moderator has is merely within the forums. A Volunteer Moderator does not have any form of access to a Steam users account, profile, or anything relevant -- it's strictly applied to the forums (closing topics, merging, deletions, viewing reported posts, etc).

I hope this'll clear up some of your concerns, it's always great to see users interested in the betterment of Steam's community and willing to volunteer time dedicated towards that goal.

Pray to Lord Gaben and you might become one some day.

I love all of these comments saying "They don't choose those who ask"

So asking to do unpayed work for valve and take care of the ♥♥♥♥ pile that is the steam community is bad?
