I didn't think the selection process was that complicated. I think they just offered to volunteer.I think they pick the people looking at many things
Forums activity
The way that person talks on forums
Understanding other people
Idk if rank (rouge +1 dude would of win that reward )
Not looking for an argument
Game knowledge (up to date )
Personally, I'm just happy we have active moderators who actually looks after the forums. I'm tired of reporting posts all the time, especially the off topic ones.
