How are moderators chosen?
(updated 28 may 2002) a. Twice daily, a lottery is conducted to randomly distribute moderation points to members who read and comment at Plastic often enough to indicate an understanding of the basic rules of the Plastic community. Also factored in is your ‘karma,’ a number that indicates how other moderators have rated your comments in the past. In short, we look for moderators who are consistent, involved, and well-regarded by their peers. In practice, you’re most likely to be entrusted with mod points if you log in every time you visit Plastic. q.
