Just curious on how to become a moderator of bluelight. Any insights? I know I'm new to bluelight, but I'm also well educated in chemistry of the brain and how drugs interact both physically, mentally, and emotionally with a person.
 
1) Read the rules, and get accustomed to them.
2) Take your time to browse as many sub-forums of Bluelight as you want to.
3) Find out which sub-forums you are most interested in.
4) Help out the new members, remind people of the rules when they don't follow them, set a good example.
5) Look for threads like this one; they will basically be stickied at the top of the forum, and will let you know that the sub-forum is looking for moderator applications. That is a good time to write one up and send it in.

How do I become a moderator?
by mashead testing

To become a moderator, you would have to show an interest in a certain forum. This can be done by posting intelligent replies and helping people where they need guidance.

How will the moderators know I am doing this?

Hopefully the moderators will keep an eye out and will probably recognise when someone is making good posts and helping others in a forum.

How do I apply though?

In most forums when a position is open there will be a post in that forum asking for applicants and a cut off date for applications will be given.

How do they judge these applications?

The current moderators of that forum will read through the applicants and search all of their posts in that forum. This is why making good quality replies and starting good discussions in a forum is useful. You can only really be judged on your previous posts and general behaviour around the website. It is expected that people applying for moderator positions will have been around for a few months as this should mean you have a better idea of how things work. Individual forums may have different application processes; for example some might ask various questions of applicants.

Can I just help out in forums anyway?

Yes, people are actively encouraged to help moderators out by providing useful information for people who require it and pointing people in the right direction. This is one of the things that makes Bluelight unique as a community, people are always willing to help others and share information.
