Well this is certainly interesting, having been a very active mod on coin chat for several weeks up until the very recent past. (Moving house.)
I will definitely be returning to my former level of activity!
Topic: Be a mod on CoinChat. 1 BTC a month. - page 2. (Read 4008 times)
Epicness of what happens on CoinChat in the average day:
Me and lordson decided to go tip-mad today, another reason why you should use coinchat
<3
And of course, the almighty DiamondCardz vs the World battle. Where the mods try to fight me with their powers, while I try to fight them with...tipping.
(of course these periods don't last long, otherwise the whole chat would be submerged in a tip vs 0mute war xD)
And that is your average day, as well as all the other chatter. ;P

I've moderated and administrated forums before, so I know that people can get pretty pissed if they're constantly being asked by people if they can be mods.
Just some general tips if you want to be a mod on CoinChat (I speak from administration experience myself):
Edit: Going to keep an eye on this thread, not going to PM you of course.
Just some general tips if you want to be a mod on CoinChat (I speak from administration experience myself):
- For God's sake, don't ask to be one. As an admin/mod of multiple forums, I can say that unless you've been told that people are allowed to make applications, you shouldn't be asking for mod. I'm pretty sure TradeFortress has this view too - if you ask for mod, you don't get it.
- You don't just become a mod and then check in for 10 minutes daily, this is at ~2 hours at the minimum daily, or you're going to look like you're taking the piss.
- If you see the 1 BTC a month and that's the only reason you want to moderate, then you shouldn't moderate. Ideally, you should actually *be liked* by most regulars of CoinChat.
- That means you need a reputation.
- Which means you need to chat quite a bit.

I find chat to be a waste of time. Unless I need to talk to someone in real time.
Protip: PMs I get in relation to this thread is how I filter out those that shouldn't be a mod 
A good practice. I consider moderator status to be a lot like political office: those who want it the most are usually the worst candidates for the job.

TF has around 9 mods at the moment, I assume he'll only hire more if there starts to be time zone gaps without moderators. Might not be true, though.
It just sucks because I used my prime email address to create that account now if I create another account I"ll have to use some throw away email address.
Feel free to, that's the info you could see from clicking on "View Source". And if you're trying to compromise someone else's account, you'll need to know what OS, browser they use, where they access it from, etc.
Sounds like a prime target for behavior phishing. E.g. create a bitcoin faucet: multiple forms to fill, browser headers available, IP address, down speed, etc etc all available.Though I guess you could then send them an email

I think the idea can be good, but what would happen if you switch OS and use a new browser? Or, your computer breaks and you buy a new one, and that one would be another OS, and another browser, would you still be able to use the forgot password function?
Well if you get a new computer, change your punctuation/browsing habits, and forget your password all at the time, you can't reset your password.

along with request analysis (IP, useragent, OS, browser) down to even if a user uses the tab key, hits buttons with enter, etc.
Well you just gave away all your security measures, so now I can circumvent them.
Hey TradeFortress I'm not able to log into my account on CoinChat. The password I'm typing in is apparently wrong but I don't remember changing it. Is there any way you can help me retrieve my account password? My username is : The4ner
Sorry but please make a new account.LOL, you don't have password recovery?
This is not something that will be used for coinchat, a small web chatroom. If you can't do something right, it's better to not do it at all.
3. Don't ask to be a moderator (this hurts your chances).
Love this thread.
kinda like party of apathy

Didn't read the rules first so excuse the pm and can't believe I'm just now finding this thread. I planned to be more active on coinchat so it is a win win situation.
