Section 1: Declaration of Policy
Let it be known the policies for selecting moderators and the rules by which all moderators must follow. This information shall be made available to all members of the Diehard Forums.

Section 2: Qualifications of Moderator.
In the event of proving to be an active and contributing member, this member may be put up for approval for moderator duties. The member must be a member for at minimum one full year before being considered for moderator duties.

Section 3: The Creation of New Moderators.
Once a member has been proven to be ready for Moderator duties, an administrator may choose to make a motion that the member become a moderator. This administrator must do this in a poll which will run for seven (7) days in the admin private forum and carries the following choices: Yes or No. After seven (7) days, the choice that has the majority vote will be the official position of the administrators for a minimum of one month. This month will act as a trial period for the new moderator if they are voted in but also give them a second chance if they are not. If they are not chosen after two votes, the process can start again in one year.

Section 4: Duties of the Moderators.
Moderators must reduce spamming, ban members who are disruptive, lock/merge/move topics, and reduce flaming in the boards. Before banning a member, a poll must be made in the moderator's private forum which will run for seven (7) days with the following choices: Yes or No. If the member is too disruptive, however, moderators may inform a member of the administration to choose whether or not the member needs to be banned immediately. If the member is a spambot, no poll needs to be made.
