All right guys, please stop making stuff up in response to legitimate questions. You can play the fiction game in chat all you want, but when people ask questions, please give them straight answers.

Answer 17

@thechocoluver445, @lgbasallote had a decent answer. (1) isn't strictly a rule. (6) certainly isn't—we've been known to pick moderators that have had fairly minimal contact with the existing moderators, beyond incidental interactions on OpenStudy.

The only good answer is: be a great member of the community, and let us know when you see things going awry. Then, if we feel like we need more moderators, we'll go for people we've noticed being awesome.

As to what moderators do, they are tasked with dealing with abuse reports and generally trying to set the right direction for the community :)
