Out of curiosity, how can a TL member become an admin/moderator?
Do you need a vast experience and history in TL? Do you need to be a programmer? Do you need to have a certain amount of posts?
I think a lot of TL members wonder this, thanks.

Well,

Plexa became an admin through his incredible blogs.
KadaverBB, the newest banling, had a stellar record of reports.
.monk was formerly a professional player and an exceptional presence in the strat forum
Jinro became a mod because...well, Jinro.

Just some examples.
FOR GREAT JUSTICE! Bans for the ban gods!

Lift weights and be Canadian.
Kennigit already sold me the recipe for 10 rupees and a slimfast.

Who decides that a user can become an admin?
There is an admin "chief", or something?

Heyoka is Director of Operations.
He doesn't smoke a peace pipe though so who knows.

You can also become a mod by being a regular TL staff member that has been around for a while. These are the TL staff with red names, and are different than banlings. To become a TL admin, you just need to be epic and good looking. Jk, just be a great TL staff member who is a vital member of said staff.

You have to be really, really, really, really, incredibly good-looking. Unfortunately, that doesn't explain how Heyoka became an admin.

Heyoka isn't bad looking. imo he is above the average white male.

edit: If you somehow get banned in the near future, it is probably Heyoka who did it lmao.

We vote people into red/admin after they are nominated by a staff member. Normally the vote is nearly unanimous because we only ever suggest people who are good fits. Writers/Graphics are hired by department heads. Banlings are nominated and then voted on.

People who contribute consistently are respected by the TL staff and often asked if they would like to help in an additional capacity.
