That sums it up, really, and it makes sense - help the forums out and you might become a moderator so you can help out even more.

I do believe the factoid I just saw applies here:

Yeah I'd imagine that asking to be a mod come send some up some red flags in the mind of others as to why your interested. I never really thought of it that way, interesting.
Activity as in the activity points we all have or based on how active you are on the forum (time logged in and dealing with reports etc)?
I'm pretty sure it's something like that - it'd make sense. Again, I'm pretty sure the algorithm isn't posted in public - else
Edit:
Posted while I was about to post my response:
Yeah theymos mentioned it's a secret algo haha. I guess it makes it fairer to pay by actual work or contributions done.

The algorithm is a secret. In my opinion, it's good it is: more honesty in a mods work this way.
Are you a mind reader?

Are mods paid or they are volunteer ?

Yeah, they get paid, but you're supposed to think of it as being a volunteer.
It's proportionally split on activity or some secret algorithm which theymos made, I believe. To get as much as John K. got there you'd probably have to be really active & be at least a global mod.
I'm surprised that no one noticed this before now. Almost all of the moderators have addresses in their Bitcoin Address profile fields, and these addresses receive obvious, regular sendmany payments from addresses owned by me or the forum...
Moderators are not employees. They are not required to "behave professionally," and they don't need to help you with anything. The payments are a form of thanks for past actions, and they do not establish any future obligations for the forum or moderators.
Report many posts accurately, and write good posts. Mods are added infrequently, and only when needed. Also, as you can see, few mods make anywhere near that much.

John K. got $1,149. How do you sign up to be a mod!

The forum sells ad space in the area beneath the first post of every topic page. About 25% of ad income goes to the forum moderators as thanks for all of their work. (There are many moderators, so each moderator gets only a small amount -- moderators should be seen as volunteers, not employees.)
Probably we get paid less than your signature deal.
Cheers to theymos for keeping care of you guys.

They are volunteers but they get a small share of advertising revenue split between them.

I'd imagine some of the staff also have a place to put in their own input and recommendations on who should become a moderator.
Not really, except for local mods where he doesn't know the language. Like all things theymos, he acts on his own. So far, that's turned out okay, so I don't really see it as a bad thing.Hmm, you are right, it has mostly turned out okay (except a couple). Surprising that there is no mod input on the matter, though, I would've thought that there would be.
There's little mod input on many decisions... or notice about changes either!

Not being DiamondCardz probably is also one.
Well yes, if you were me you wouldn't be a mod because I'm not a mod, makes sense, no?
That one kind of amused me since I was teasing you a bit in the other Meta thread

Probably more the latter two although the former obviously helps. I'd imagine some of the staff also have a place to put in their own input and recommendations on who should become a moderator.
I'm sure high activity and a continual forum presence is needed, and I guess positive trust would help too, but there are some mods who don't seem to have any trusted 'green' feedback. Also I think most forums usually have a super secret hidden mod board
. They mods/admins have mentioned the 'secret' mod board here before.
