A moderator application form ?

[SecondSight]

Hello !

When I need moderators for my forums, I simply write an announcement. Then we discuss through PMs.

Now, I would like to have a special tool for this, which would allow members to request being moderators of a forum or category. I'm thinking of a "become moderator of this forum" link or a button that would lead members to a form where they can find :
- explanations about what moderation is ;
- the moderation rules ;
- radio buttons to accept or not the terms of the rules ;
- choose wich category or forum they would moderate ;
- a textbox where they can write why they want to become moderators ;
Of course, applications to become moderators would be automatic and would need the admin aproval.

What do you think of it ?

Thank you ! :)

Sounds like a component. :P

Didnt someone write one? DStaff application or something like that?

Yes. But I think he wants it defautly on the board -- ACP option. Sounds good to me, i'd keep reinstalling the mod if it wasn't on teh board.

Or use a component and not reinstall the mod unless it is updated? :P

Yes. I believe this tool should be added defaultly to the board, and that it would make finding moderators an easier task...

I don't think it's a necessary feature to add. I'd rather have a reputation system than this added as default, and I'm not very fond of that either.

This feature I'm talking about could simply be added to IPB as a moderator center feature (if there is a moderator center included in IPB in the future).
