Yeah, just kinda been curious about how some people have all these different titles. Not really to interested in becoming one myself, just possibly for reference later. Thanks in advance.
There are occasionally moderator elections, but Hezzy is currently test driving a new system of picking mods at the moment. As for gold, RU, titles, etc. You have to either do something completely awesome, or something incredibly stupid.
In before action to a certain body part of a person currently at the second highest power in this forum
Gold Member used to be buyable AFAIK but garry changed that because of a 999$ incident :downs:
Nowadays you become GM by doing crazy stuff.

awesome[/B]=RU

ah I see. Well since I'm afraid of looking like a total jackass, I don't think I'll be becoming any kind of special member anytime soon. :)

gold is better than RU...
oh, and what the hell is a super moderator? Like are they just moderators who have been doing it a long time? Have enough posts? Or what?
I jumped off my roof and landed on a trampoline can I have RU?

Super Mods can ban/lock etc in every section.

Sam Tilgan doesn't have GM because he's not some dumb jackass.
There was some discussion in the GMF recently about how RU is kinda useless and never went anywhere.
oh, so section moderators only have power in their section? That may sound stupid, but I just thought it meant that they were assigned to mainly watch that one particular section. W/e. So, how does a moderator become a super moderator?
They're just chosen like that.

Here's a good place for questions about the forum [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=825078[/url]
If you drink battery acid, Hezzy will give you a title
If you show Hezzy your penis, you'll get a title saying that you did.
This topic now disturbs me. W/e, thanks for the help. Some of you. :P

A faggot called Monkey_123 spent said ammount on Gold Member on his parents paypal.
His parents pleaded to Garry to give the money back.
He did I think, and uh he just took Gold Membership purchasing away.

Dumbshit named monkey_123 buys goldmember for 999 dollars after being convinced that it is gonna check out to only 1 dollar, makes his family poor. Eventually got the money back after a dispute.

Aw shit son.
You have to send an application to Hezzy
Just kidding, definitely don't do that.
For a title, just become a gmod.com admin and pm mm3guy garrysmod.com doesn't deserve you.
