Become an Admin???  

I would ask some of the administrator's first hand, maybe that would give You more clarification on this subject. There is no harm in asking them. Good Luck on Your Quest! 

From what I've noticed, staff are usually long time, respected members who've contributed to the forum greatly in some way. And hot redheads. 

There You go, if that does'nt answer Your question I don't know will! Just keep Your chin up, it look's like there's a looong way to go to the promised land.

I think you also need a conceal-carry permit. Oh wait..........that's just Mods.

Why would anyone want such a thankless task?

I was under the impression that it was thrust upon some poor benighted soul contrary to their will under threat of expulsion from the headfi forum and publication if their personal grooming habits if they did not comply in a positive manner.

 

 

It's true... About the last part anyhow. ;)

Once you have access to the Headphoneus Supremus Lounge, there is a bulletin board for an Admin Wanted Ad. To apply you need to fill up an application and submit a resume. They go through these exhaustive background check. That's all I know.

You just need to be picked by Jude and volunteer your time. That's all there is to it. Sure, you can ask 'til kingdom come, but it won't happen unless they specifically want you, AFAIK.

You need to prove responsibility, dedication to the community, and trustworthiness.

 

Now, there's an interesting concept...........

from my experience, people who want to be admins are the least suited for the job. this goes for politicians, too coincidentally

Writing skills, logical deductive / inductive reasoning skills , knowledge of the hobby and of the audience here, and/or bloody nepotism (looking at you Uncle ), apparently ...

 

Why do you ask ?  ...
