I'm new and have a question.

How does the point system work?
How do you become a moderator?
How do you become a game expert and/or Pro Submitter?

I think I know the last one, but I'm not sure.

As far as I am aware, points are given out for every forum post and submission you make on the site, a few for each post and much more for a submission.

I'm not too sure on the current moderator criteria. But you must be regularly active and usually have to have a minimum number of posts within a specific thread before you can be considered for a position there.

Pro? Clicking on the title tells how you attain it. And experts are the top 5/10 users who answer the most/answer most concisely about questions for a particular game.

Points; http://www.supercheats.com/supercheats-stats.htm Right hand side of that page, just scroll down a bit, will answer that for you.

Becoming a Mod has become much more difficult (apparently) these days. You've got to be active, have a good rapport with Staff and the frequenters of the forum you're applying for as well as showing a sound understand of the rules. Then you've got to wait until the Smods/Admins decide the Mod ranks could do with a shake-up and open application threads. Then apply stating why you think youd be a good choice & wait for their decision.

Welcome, I see you've already started posting a lot. :D That's good. Oh, don't forget to go to T&C.

Since been changed.

From now on, moderators are nominations only. If we see you fit for the job, we'll offer it to you. No more public applications. For four main reasons I can think of:

a) Filip's eyes would give out after reading through 2000 pages of applications
b) Making 45 threads is a pain in the butt
c) Ensures new moderators we know can handle the position with no real "trial" period"
d) The main purpose for the shakeups was to steadily lower the number in the first place.

No, it's not impossible to get a position though, since people come and go, resign, and we need people to fill their spots. Just be patient, and do well, and we may choose you one day ;)

That sounds goooood!

That's the thread just made about it too xD

Really now? xD My timing is amazing.

Oh, I already knew you knew about the thread buggy xD Just posting it to point it out to anyone who comes in here & hasn't seen it =P

I didn't know about the thread when you just posted it O_o

I find that hard to believe Buggy - I figured that would've been an Smod decision for Derel to post it xD

No he just decided to post it. Seriously xD

He's a naughty boi. Much like we are for derailing another New Member forum topic XC

I'm a bad mawd ;_: haha

Speaking of derailing, a wild Skye appears!

Anyways, allow me to welcome you to Super Cheats, Mr. Zephyr. Stick arund, I'm prett sure the site could use some more activity.

Oh, and never run naked through a subway; it's just not a good idea.

Completely forgot to welcome you!

Welcome ;)

The best for last, I guess.

Welcome to the Cheats of Superness.

^You sure did!

Welcome to the site.

That's so cheap but I guess it's reasonable.XD

Ummmm so I won't get yelled at for going off topic...listen to what the other guys said for the answers to your questions.

How do you start a forum like this one Because I can't find the button and I will also I am a noob I know I sound like one but please help tell me where I can make a forum. I'm really sorry.
