How do I upgrade my Phandroid status?

For Premium: http://androidforums.com/payments.php

For Guide: be nominated or apply with the admin, Phases, based on your knowledge of devices and willingness to do some work around here and also to set a good example in the forums, etc

For Moderator: same as above, but some get promoted to Mod after being a Guide

For Admin: acquire this demeanor, body style and outfit:

How do I get a fancy little banner next to my name that says Admin, Moderator, or Premium?

must resist....

self control....

think of the children....

awwwwwwww....................




wow.. that was close.
you almost got me in trouble with the people with the fancy-little-banners next to their names. :eek: :mad:
 
You can apply to become a Guide or be nominated by others. Sometimes Phases will make an announcement for people to apply because new Guides are needed. To be a mod, you have to be selected by admins and the current moderators.

On some rare occasions you can become a moderator without even being a Guide and becoming a Guide doesn't mean you will become a moderator. Shivers was a mod before becoming an admin, but he's the only one and that was a long time ago. There's also a special criteria posted by Frisco. :p
 
You do NOT want to be a Guide or a Moderator. They're exhausting, time-consuming, and unrewarding positions on this site. The people are also complete creeps too, especially a guy named Frisco... *shudders* :p
 
Awwwww, you mean I actually have to do work? I just want a fancy banner and the authority to smite evil doers. Can we create a new category called "Punisher" or "Stormtrooper"?

Update: Just saw the price for premium status. $19.95 too beaucoup.
 
I think it would be fun to be a guide or a mod here, I just wont play myself into even trying due to how busy i am these days.

You must work to be on staff,
you must toil and that's no laugh,
you must slave and that's the truth,
and you will watch for posts uncouth,
- complaints you have about the fee?
We can just ban you and that is free!

While you're waiting on your dismay, we invite you to where we play - http://androidforums.com/forum-games/1081-ban-person-above-you.html

So how do you nominate a person to be a mod? There is a very helpful and very smart person I have in mind and imo I think he deserves a step up (if he would want to of course)
 
To be a mod, you have to be willing to give up pretty much any other hobbies. I used to mod a forum for a facebook game that was insanely popular at the time, and it took up so much time that I ended up not even having time to play the game anymore. Of course, not playing, I lost interest and lost touch with the changes, which made me kinda a bad mod anyway, and since I had neither the time nor the inclination, I reclaimed my life.

Which means I get to be here spamming you guys in between playing WoW and playing with my phone. :D
