mountaintree16 Posted November 8, 2010 ID:341304 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I think most (but not all) mods are employed by Malwarebytes, and most Experts are not (as far as I know) employed by Malwarebytes. Exile is an expert though and he works for Malwarebytes . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSnakeKobra Posted November 8, 2010 ID:341321 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Now I do agree with that. Majority of mods are. A few aren't such as the above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildman424 Posted November 8, 2010 ID:341331 Share Posted November 8, 2010 many of the Experts & Trusted Advisors are volunteers that volunteer at several sites sometimes working 20 or more forums at a time to help people clean malware off there computers so next time you get a chance, buy em a drink n thank them for all there hard work they put in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quikfix Posted May 3, 2012 ID:548537 Share Posted May 3, 2012 So how do you become an expert? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted May 3, 2012 ID:548544 Share Posted May 3, 2012 You become an expert by completing the training at one of the malware removal schools. Many of them are listed here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShyWriter Posted May 3, 2012 ID:548590 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I'm not sure how true that part is: partly or fully employed by MBAM. I'm not myself. I am Purple though Stop holding your breath and breathe Larry.. That purple will return to flushed red soon enough. *wry grin*Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noknojon Posted May 5, 2012 ID:548929 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Gee Arthur -Even I remember when you were part of the "Official MBAM Team". Wonder who you upset I had a "bit of a - - with the Boss" about a year ago, but I was never near your ranking -You must have done a "real bad" or quit - Still, I think it is nice to have you around The program name is actually Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (or at least it was) ......... Right boss - Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quikfix Posted May 5, 2012 ID:549006 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Alright, the part I still don't understand is some of the other titles like: Trusted Advisor, Translator, Spam Hunter, Malware Hunter, Software Updator, and Root Admin. I don't understand how to achieve any of these titles. If anyone can help, it would be most appreciated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500 Posted May 5, 2012 ID:549021 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Alright, the part I still don't understand is some of the other titles like: Trusted Advisor, Translator, Spam Hunter, Malware Hunter, Software Updator, and Root Admin. I don't understand how to achieve any of these titles. If anyone can help, it would be most appreciated OK, here's some basic and quick explanations:Root AdminThis is a sort of Super Admin. Anyone in this group essentially has the highest power over forum settings. At first only Marcin (the CEO of Malwarebytes) had this authority, however others in the company have gained it as well (Robert and Ted have it since they manage the servers, and thus it is required for them to perform their jobs properly). Neither you nor I will ever be a Root Admin. Trusted AdvisorThere are two groups for members of the security community that are trusted to assist in the Malware Removal section (Experts and Trusted Advisors). The Experts are people such as researchers and the various folks that assist in malware removal at UNITE and ASAP forums (these people usually have gone through training programs to earn this level of recognition). The Trusted Advisors are those who either don't have the same credentials as the Experts, or who do not commonly assist in malware removal at UNITE or ASAP forums, but who still have the technical knowledge to provide assistance with malware removal or with various other computer issues. If you wish to be in either of these groups, then you will most likely need to graduate from one of the UNITE schools. Note that the line between these groups can often be a bit thin, and I personally have been in both the Experts group and the Trusted Advisors group at various times. Spam HunterThese are users who are trusted by the admins to hunt down spam posts and users on these forums, and report them.Malware HunterThese are users who report malware to our research team, and have been granted access to download samples from our malware and rogue reporting forums. There are instructions in those forums for how to become a member of this group.TranslatorThese are users who volunteer to maintain the various translations of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Since Malwarebytes does not have employees who speak every language, they rely on volunteers to provide the translations for almost every language that Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware supports.Software UpdaterI would believe that these are people who are trusted to manage the Software Update forums. It may have some small moderation powers associated with it, but only with regards to the Software Update forums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quikfix Posted May 5, 2012 ID:549026 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Thank you very much. I feel like I do understand what is being said now. I just have one more question, I want to be a Malware Hunter and an Expert. Is it possible for me to be in both groups at the same time? Thanks in advance.

GT500 Posted May 5, 2012 ID:549030 Share Posted May 5, 2012 If you are in the Experts group you have all of the perks of the Malware Hunter group, plus some extras.To be considered for the Experts group, you will most likely need to be a graduate of one of the UNITE schools.

ShyWriter Posted May 5, 2012 ID:549031 Share Posted May 5, 2012 OK, here's some basic and quick explanations:[...]Software UpdaterI would believe that these are people who are trusted to manage the Software Update forums. It may have some small moderation powers associated with it, but only with regards to the Software Update forums.You are correct sir.. We can't edit POSTS, but have the Global MOD "post/thread" powers for most everything else (in my software forums only); we can move, merge, hide, delete, rename Topics, lock, open-lock and so forth. I can do my job in my Forums but nothing extra since the software upgrade which broke a few special flags I had. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
