    Ah, I understand now...I wasn't looking into moderatorship to boss others around or anything like that, I just wanted tobecome more of a part of the 3DS community, to support it better, 'cause I think it's a great place.
    I also think that 3DS should stay the way it is, and not become some meeting ground for the people who have alot of posts, and stay as it is right now. Besides, everyone would just post useless information in order to get up to the specified amount of posts, then just goof off in it. Even if the PDF did exist, it should be only for people who understand and reply to people's questions, and honestly help them. Like a moderator...

    Comprehension skills are necessary here

    Private Discussion Forum (PDF) does exist! And you are still presuming moderators act as tech support. Haven't you read what was already said?

    Uncleel made it quite clear I think.

    I meant phatman's PDF for people with x amount of posts. And I don't generally think of moderators as tech support, that's just a part of their being in 3DS. You guys answer the most questions here, I'm not saying you're ALL for tech support. If you guys aren't tech support, why do you have so many posts?

    they're not tech supports in any way. they're not even paid (as mentioned many many times).
    and (also mentinoed many times), 3DS forums is community driven. questions are asked by members and are answered by members.
    and as mentioned so many times in this thread, moderators tend to be members who're established and experienced with computers (check the profile). so they spend a lot of time here answering the questions. they'll answer the Q if they want to, and they won't if the don't (just like any other member).
    difference between a mod and a tech support:
    a mods' job isn't to answer the questions, it's to keep the forums clean.

    as for post counts, :rolleyes:
    it's how much you made yourself heard, not how much you've helped people.
    even just a short "lol" can be counted as 1 post.
    you could even quote someone and without any further reply, be counted as 1 post.
    they tell nothing.
    for instsance:
    3DS Julio : 204
    3DS Thomas : 634
    Mr.Garibaldi : 613
    look at me, i've got 1000+ posts already! (with hundreds of "lol" and "concur" posts) :rolleyes:

    Quality, not quantity.
    Or even better quality and quantity :)

    I think we could be adding up moderators (now that there are even more boards ;) ) as time passes and we feel the need of them, also, moderator power is given to users that have shown loyalty through time to 3DS and its community.
