We try to keep things as simple as possible on our forum and in our chat rooms. The fewer rules, the better. So this means that becoming a forum moderator is a pretty straight-forward process.
If you regularly contribute to the conversation on Free Code Camp's forum, and are interested in becoming a moderator, you can contact Michael Henderson, who's our core team member in charge of our forum: forum.freecodecamp.com/users/michaelhenderson/act…
He can consider making you a moderator.
We don't have any expectation of a specific number of hours or anything like that. We just appreciate that you are willing to volunteer your time and make our forum a better place to discuss technology and coding!
