How do you become a treehouse moderator (help from a moderator themselves would be useful)?

Taken from another post: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/treehouse-moderator

Hi Paul.

A Treehouse moderator is basically like a regular member of the Treehouse Community but with extra status to help out students, help out with running the forums and keep things running smoothly.

You'll need to be an active part of the Treehouse community for at least 6 months and at least several thousand Treehouse points to be considered. Other forum members can recommend you as a moderator or you could put yourself forward to be considered by emailing community@teamtreehouse.com.

Hope this helps :)

Thanks guys

I can assure you that neither your points nor the number of questions you answer alone will qualify you to be a moderator. I've seen moderators with less than 3,000 points or with less than 30 answers. And I have quite a few of both and am not a moderator.

I understand that both moderators and staff review your answers; and quality, tone, and consistency are all very important. Recommendations from other students, staff, and moderators will also weigh in your favor and any complaints will weigh heavily against it.

It's also rather rare for new moderators to be added. I've seen more than a year go by with no additions. But on those rare occasions when they feel new mods are needed, those selected will receive invitations.

Well actually I asked treehouse support and they said that they are looking for new moderators right now. Steven Parker you really should become a moderator, I would recommend you to become one though really it is up to you.

Also the support member said that they were looking at credentials of profiles, so I guess points do matter.

Yes I found some moderators that have less points them me. I may actually recommend you to become a moderator you also keep up with the forums probably 60% of the forums are answered by you.
