Generally you get asked to be one. However from time to time they advertise for applicants. Plus i believe there is an age requirement.
The mods have a thread on this somewhere. I think brightfang wrote it. Essentially they watch and nominate you to the people upstairs if they see you as a good candidate. And no, you dont get paid. And yes you have to take a lot of abuse.
No, Wildor wrote it.

Forum Moderators are volunteers that help out the forums.
They must log in at least 2 - 3 times a week.
Last I read, they were privately picked. I'm not sure "picked by who", but I know being a moderator is a tough job, especially when something big happens, like this last week.
Who wants the burden of having to close and move topics and read insults all the time?
Wildor - thats the same chap who emailed me today.
Moderators elect other moderators. Read Wildor's thread for more info

Being a mod is only good for one thing....
THe free tickets they give away to Fiji for an all expenses paid vacation for a year, the catch is you have to read, merge, delete, move consolidate, email, ban, unban, undelete, apologize (against your own will), and oh yeah you must sell your soul to dawnseeker which kinda sucks cuz you do miss that, But if your willing to do all the above for months on end with no thanks whatsoever, be yelled at and cursed, hated for no reason, flamed beyond comprehension, and then be told you aren't doing a good enough job on anything by all 15 million players on evony. then this job might be for you!
P.s. I was lying about the trip to fiji, all you get is a pat on the back and a thank you *albeit rarely*
