Anyone can become a mod. The admins watch all mods closely. If an abnormal pattern arises, they will remove the mod. The benefit of the doubt will go to the person willing to be a mod in most instances until a pattern develops.
To anyone making negative statements about mods. Mods are full spectrum just like any group. Don't be an ass just because someone is a mod.
I am a mod in two communities. My policy is simple, mods should be invisible. I'll try to mediate if a flag is raised, but I'm basically only here to delete porn and dick pill ads. This is not reddit, most communities do not require any mod intervention. In reality one admin with nothing better to do could moderate all of .world easily. They know this, and will handle problem mods once a pattern is obvious. The admin get all of the flags too.
