First rule is don't ask.

Develop and publish a game, ta-dah, you can moderate its own hub.

Regarding the OP, the saying back in the day was something along the lines of "Don't ask to be a moderator, the opportunity will present itself if you are deemed worthy."

In other words, if you have to ask... well, just don't ask :p

Hi everyone. We frequently are asked the question, how do I become a moderator of the Steam forums? I should first say that it is a special, fun, and rewarding, yet serious role. And it is good to see that some of you are interested. But back to the question asked... How do I become a moderator? Well, there isn't an application. Additionally, there isn't any kind of checklist of items to complete. The best advice I can offer is remain an active member of community, help others, and do things to gain recognition (but don't go overboard). New moderators are added in small numbers when a need arises. There is an element of truth to what ianskate said above. Typically, Valve invites you to join the moderating team--not the other way around. Hopefully that answers your question.

I have seen a couple of new moderators here who appear to have no history at all prior to becoming a mod. The accounts appear to have been made solely to be a moderator.

I wonder who these people are? Maybe an employee at Valve or a friend of an employee? Who knows!

Here is one moderator I am referring to:

I would also like to note this profile is not listed in the Steam Community Moderators page.

Valve has made a couple of Moderator accounts, yes.

If you want to help keep the community/forum clean you already have all the necessary tools at your disposal to do so, namely the report button on peoples profile and the report button next to every forum post.

In other words you don't really need to be a moderator to help the community thrive

I have a persistent troll on the No Man's Sky discussions board who has had almost all of his posts reported by countless people for over a year. He's still there & not a single post has been removed. We think he received a week's ban at some point when he used the C word; but he might have just been on holiday or something.

Find an old post from the user and if they have the word (banned) in red next to the name then they are banned from that hub.
