To Boss, I guess.

To a head of department. I'm a High School teacher by the way. LOTS of home work. 😔🔫

PS Just changed my status as well at the beginning of this thread.

Spikepit! I'm glad to see you on the forums. What a blast from the past 😀 welcome back.

Very nice change in leadership. 👍

Good to see you on here!

Nostalgic to get a report email even when I've left.

You should send more postcards! 

Hope all is well for you, Proph!

How does some one become a moderator? I also think there should be a rank or level of moderator called moderator in training. There could also be assistents in each forum section to help the moderator. I hope this helps, and maybe i can become one.

I agree with this, and has been wondering this for a long time.

How to become a mod -> be helpful, considerate, positive to the forum. If and when we need more mods we will call you, we do pay attention. Good karma helps a little

Mods in training/section assistants -> no need to rank down our mods to trainees, although different responsibilities are issued to each one. We do have local and global mods though, with different sets of privileges. Those are the Hands (mods of one or more section) and Elders (global mods)

Know bosses and patrons, but what are "hands"?

Local mods. Hands have mod powers in one section of the forum. Elders are global mods, having mod powers in all sections of the forum.

Boss means someone who bought the "have it all" option in the app
Patron is someone who signs iMtG server
User is someone who is using the forum through the app
Member is someone who is using the forum through a browser (or old version of the app)

Now, if you click someone's profile, there may be a title there. Those are:
Adventurer -> beta tester (check my profile)
Hand -> local mod of one or more sections of the forum (check Xaol)
Elder -> Global forum mod (check Keyeto)
Owner -> Piotr (forum admin)

The titles above do not stack. If you have more than one, the highest one will be used. The order is:
Owner > Elder > Adventure > Hand

There may also be another title in the profile. These title can be:
Patron -> someone who pays the monthly iMtG server fee
Apprentice -> someone appointed by a Patron to share the benefits of being a patron

You cannot be a Apprentice and Patron at the same time

Also, on the default forum theme (the one loaded in app), when you check the active users list there is a color change between titles.
Grey -> non-mod
Green -> Hand
Blue -> Elder
Black -> Piotr

If some amazing person could format what I have just written and post it to the wiki, I would be grateful

You can be Adventurer and Patron at the same time, you will have all the powers which come with each title.

Adventurer is separate from the mods.

Yeah, you can have two titles, one of them being elder/hand/adventurer (though you can have the privilege of adventurer + hand/elder. If you do, the highest title will show. Elder > adventurer > hand)
The other title is patron/apprentice

Adventurer is separate from moderators. You are not a Hand, you have local moderator powers in Wiki.

I thought a Hand was someone who had local moderator powers? What is a Hand then?
