Disclaimer
First, this does not apply to any site except mafiascum.net. If you are on a different site, abide by their policies.
General Requirements
All experience requirements can be satisfied on mafiascum.net, brunchma.com, greylabyrinth.com, or another site approved by mith (which generally means he introduced Mafia there, or they play it the same way mafiascum does).
You need to play one game on mafiascum and have been around mafiascum for three months before signing up to mod any game, regardless of prior experience.
Until they have successfully modded two completed games, moderators may run only one game at a time. Afterward, they may run two concurrently. Mods who desire to run three or more games simultaneously must apply to mith (see "Special Games" below).
As modding Newbie games is considered a public service, Newbie games are completely outside the system, both for the limit on games you can mod at a time and satisfying "experience" requirements.
