Information Interested in becoming a volunteer Moderator?

**IMPORTANT: This volunteer moderator application is for chat only at this time. Being a volunteer moderator is not about modding drama, it's for removing spam, scams, gross rule violations and illegal activity. If you're looking to mod drama ("harassment/bullying" and such), modding is not for you**

Aspiring volunteer moderators should be registered members for at least six months. Trial period for new moderators is 60 days.

The secretive process of becoming a volunteer moderator:

1: You fill out the moderator application and it's immediately posted for administrators to review.
2: Administrators review the application and if the candidate is viable, the aspiring moderator is nominated so current moderators can weigh in.
3: Moderators have a discussion (all moderators are invited and are encouraged to participate) and if a decision to move forward has been made, the username is forwarded to the Overlords of the website.
4: Overlords then review the application, administrator discussion and moderator discussion.
5: If a decision is made to invite you to become a member of the moderator team, a chat administrator will contact you directly in chat and offer you to join the ranks.
6: If you haven't lost hope by that time and you're still interested in ruling over the chatscape, you'll be provided with a list of initiation steps you must agree to and complete within a few days.
7: If you agree and once you've completed the initiation requirements, you'll gain a star badge, new friends, new enemies and a chat whip. Congratulations.

Concerned about not being able to handle some 3000+ users across 30+ chat rooms during peak times? No need to be! FCN runs high-tech behind the scenes, such as public content flagging across all chat rooms, automated report handling, simple enforcement system with simplified and default response guidelines--you could mod the entire chat by yourself 24/7 if you're bored enough! Ask other moderators how easy it is to mod while just chatting.
