I'm really curious, could you say how does 4chan recruit moderators? Normally in online communities you'd have get some frequent users invested in the forum and upgrade them in status. This of course fails for 4chan where you can't see who's a regular, or who has a good history. So how does it work? Are mods usually moot's friends from real world, or some other community?

Mods are promoted from the janitor team, who apply for the job themselves.
