I was just wondering, how long does it take to become a guide on android forums... and what exactly is a guide? Thanks for helping a fellow noob out:)!
 
There's no time frame or post count for becoming a guide. Guides are users of the site who are recognized for their helpfulness. Some have called Guides "junior moderators", but their responsibilities are much greater than that. It is true that most if not all the moderators here were guides at one time. There's no formula for becoming a guide, but I can tell you that being considerate and helpful are great starts. Not sticking to one small part off the site is another step in the right direction.

Hello liamf1, welcome to the forums. :)

Guides are responsible for several things at Android Forums, not the least of which is keeping the various sections of the place in order as to thread placement, proper prefixes in the device areas ("support," "tips," "accessories," etc) and general forum neatness.

The most important tasks Guides have revolve around bringing a welcoming, helpful atmosphere to Android Forums. They are recruited based on that more than anything else.

As to "how long does it take to become a Guide," it is variable, but six months or so and about a thousand posts or more gets my attention as to the base-line for consideration. :)

Great question! Thank you for showing interest in the Staff here. :)
 
Thank you guys so much!
This is my one of many forums that I've used for android. ( I had to test many out before I found the best.)
To be honest... This is the best forum and the most welcoming forum that I have been in so far. I plan to stick around for a long time.
Thank you for the warm welcome.
-Sincerely,

Lol, no not at all, faaaaar from it. I just have a lot of free time at work and at home so I get about a bit, probably why you've seen me all over. :o

Phases is the Admin, he runs the forum, but Rob is the Site owner and runs the show.

No need to apologise either :)
