UPDATE - I'm a genre mod now.
Feel free to ask me about flash genres and ratings, too.

Small FAQ about icon modship
Q: What's the purpose of having icon mods?
A: Icon mods originally approved icons at the iconhelpers page, but when Tom announced the redesign, one of the new changes in the website will be the new icon size: 140 x 90. Now icon mods have to CREATE the icons for all the flash without icons AND create new ones for the 46 x 46 to the 140 x 90.
Q: Why icon mods don't have a golden aura?
A: We used to have golden auras but since there are PLENTY of icon mods right now (like 45), it could create confusion in the BBS. We neither can't access to the moderators lounge.
So just don't ask for icon modship in your hopes of getting that shiny aura and the access to the forums, Okay?
You'll never get them, so please deal with it.
Q: How can I be an icon mod?
A: These are the requirements:
1) Create at least 10 QUALITY icons (Besides yours in case you have some flash in your account).
2) PM to Tom with the subject "Icon modding" or "Icon helper" with a link to all the icons you've made and include your email in the body of the message.
Yes, becoming an icon mod is an irony to the question established in the FAQ: how does one become a moderator?
Q: Why are you icon "moderators" if you don't exactly "moderate"?
A: We don't moderate like the forum, review, audio and art mods. In fact, neither of them moderate EXACTLY the same way. They have in common by giving out bans to the users who break out specific rules. But icon mods can actually manipulate every single icon of the flash portal.
But let's imagine if somebody uploads an icon with something very unrelated to the flash, with inappropriate content like porn or hentai (Hentai icons are ONLY allowed if the submission is actually a hentai flash), or with something really disturbing, we just got the power to delete it and put another icon instead of that one.
Fortunately, I haven't seen that case for now :)
Q: What will happen after the icons are done?
A: It's mostly sure most of us will get demodded while a few of the current icon mods will reserve their modships to take care for future flashes. So if you want to be an icon mod you must be aware that you MAY lose your modship after a hard work. But please, ask for icon modship if you really want to contribute to the website. I personally joined to the icon mod team because I want to contribute to the launch of the redesign and specially because I've always loved creating icons. Back in the past when the iconhelpers was an active place, I made more than 100 icons.
Q: Is necessary doing a list of the users that icon mods have done?
A: It's not a must, but sure it's handy to keep on track of the icons we have done.

Man, becoming a mod is that easy?

If you're a helpful user in NG then it's easy. That's all.
Remember that becoming a mod it's like sugarloaf's song: "Don't call us, we call you"
