Greetings from the other side of the Rhein.
Don't worry, it's not a French invasion, I was just notified by Piggy's bot. And sorry for the English, my German is far behind me.
I haven't read or understood the whole topic, but I can guess what you're talking about. No need to make a list, Theymos has his own criteria and the main one is the report.
I copy/paste what I wrote a few days ago :
Haha I remember that post, you made me crazy that day .
@OP :
There is no secret, you have to report, report, report, and report (and be patient).
You have to show to Theymos that the situation in your section is no longer acceptable. But he wants figures.
Theymos asked us to report, so I started reporting. And five months later, I was promoted to mod. Rank is of little importance since I was a simple member at the moment.
My stats report : You have reported 465 posts with 99% accuracy (261 good, 3 bad, 201 unhandled)
I would add that I had 0 in trust when I was promoted.
And here is an extract from what Theymos said to me when I asked him "Why me???"
The time has come for you to report (and good reports). Be patient, shake Theymos from time to time and the chosen one will be selected. But beware, the moderator's function is not always easy every day .
