the Camaro show Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hi guys I see some guys are forum moderators and was just wondering how you become one and what are the benefits? Naylor649 and Rich 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rich Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I love it. Um let's see. Adam asked me around 12 years ago (maybe a year less) when he started this forum. You have to be experienced, good looking, and smart. And willing to answer every dumb question that comes along without being a smartass. Benefits? Well, the best one is the people I've met on here and come to be friends with. Aside from that............what more can you want?

0 the Camaro show Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Do you get any free products or samples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Naylor649 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Are you looking for just free stuff? If so you don’t become a mod for that reason. I’m still fairly new to this forum but not new to the forum community. Your going about it all wrong and you’ve gotta be asked 99% of time. Not a position you ask for. Just my .02 in years in the forum community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rich Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 To answer your question (seriously). You are invited to be a moderator. But moderators are only invited as needed, and it takes a good while. You have to be active on the forum, make contributions to the forums, use and endorse the products, and have knowledge about how to use them properly. As for freebies............we sometimes will get to try or test a new product before it comes out, but not always. It depends on where we live pretty much. I live in the northeast and my cars don't get detailed as much in the winter, so for me to test a new wax or soap is kind of pointless because I might not be able to get to it for months. And that doesn't help anyone. As far as I know, the moderator board is full at the moment, and most of us have been here for years. I've been here since nearly day 1. So if you think you want to help the forum, then make good posts, review products, write reviews, and be a contributing member. And who knows, maybe in a year or two your turn may come. funkymonkey1111, falcaineer, Nickfire20 and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 pirahnah3 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Rich hit it spot on, from being a mod and or admin on several boards related to other hobbies of mine I can say that its really about just being there regularly, and contributions. Helpful ones, fun ones, and supportive ones. I will say thou, that being a mod while seeming fun and awesome is almost a full time forum job. It is a lot more than you can realize at times and quickly become a reason to not want to be there. I have a lot of respect for the mods as I fully understand the amount of time that it takes to come on regularly, help everyone and ensure that the peace is kept.

0 the Camaro show Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Thank you all very much! I was just wondering not being cheap because I’ve spent over 1k since August when I first tried Adams. I love it and check the website every day haha I look forward to helping the detailing community! Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
