I would love to join in on the fun, but since you said you actually wanted a serious answer, I'll take one for the team and give you one.

It's a combination of work on the site, having squeaky clean behavior as a mod, participating in staff issues (discussing bans, news articles, etc.), keeping in close contact with the admins. Generally being involved with the rest of the staff.

That's it?

How boring. So they're just promoted mods?

...No? That's not what I said at all.

 

You said they were mods who were well behaved, took part in discussions, kept in close contact with the admins with the glowing yellow eyes from MENSA who killed a lion with a spoon and chopsticks and can kill with a single glance (no seriously, how were the original admins chosen? Keeping in contact with then-ioi?)

So yes, they're just promoted mods.
