How do you become a moderator?
Several people that are trusted by alex(the website owner) have to recommend a certain person to him and he may consider making said person a moderator.
This people know who they are so dont try to spam his email because its quite likely to lead you to trouble rather than becoming a moderator
How are they policed?
Any complaints can be directed to other moderators or alex. He considers the situation and sees if theres any need to intervene/do something
How are they dismissed?
Alex notices that a certain person is no longer doing the work properly and dismisses that person.
Other ranks other then mods? Is there a constitution thing? Internal politics? etc....
There are three admins that I know of: Alex, TOGGI3 and sliqua-jcooter.
Internal politics involve keeping an eye on posts and seeing which posts are conflicting with the rules then contacting whoever made those posts. After repeated times a person is usually warned and if they refuse to listen to the warnings banned.
Only alex knows what his role on the system is. One of us could try to make a guess but he could prove us wrong since he has never stated what his role is and it changes by time.
Right now he says he is working on a new forum design and your guess on how involved on keeping an eye of this website is just as good as mine.
Toggi3 and myself are not admins on this site. My company provides the server that WP uses, and manages that side of things - but we do not have any power over anything on this site.
