How do you become a backup mod? Is experience necessarily required and does it pay well? What is the benefits package like?

Generally, to be a backup mod you need to satisfy the modding requirements. I think Large backups need to have actually modded a large and Newbie backups HAVE to have modded a newbie. Other than that, nah, go nuts.
Basically you're a spectator with access to all PM's who's expected to post VCs and help with action resolution if necessary. Sometimes you're called on to weigh in on mod decisions. Sometimes you do absolutely nothing over the course of a game. All depends on who you're backing up. (For example, I try hard to make sure my backups are unnecessary, but some people really appreciate help with frequent VCs and such.)
Does that mean I can backup mod a theme or normal even if I have never modded a game onsite?
The (purported) altruistic part of me would like to help with a game and grant it more reliable votecounts and flavor posts sometimes. But I deliberately never mod because I don't think it would mean as much to me as it would to someone else to see a certain setup run, so I don't want to take away anyone's spot in a queue.
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"
I'm going to be running Chain of Command (not in signups yet) which has essentially 2 layers of roles, so I'd really like to have someone who can double check that I'm sending all the correct information to the correct people, for peace of mind.
I'll be fine to run the game otherwise (VCs, Day/Night start posts, sending PMs etc.), I just need you to keep an eye on the Mod PT where I'll be posting my draft flips and PMs to check that everything looks alright.
Looking for a backup mod or co-mod to run a 17p grandest idea large theme game. You must meet the requirements to mod a large theme game. Please pm me if interested and include your current modding commitments.
Edit: Thanks Alchemist21!

Do you have questions, ideas, or feedback for the Scummies? Please pm me!
Looking for a comod for a 19 large theme game. A lot happens while I'm asleep, so I'd like someone who is able to post a votecount or two at those times (which is when most Americans are awake and posting). That's all you'll have to do! (unless you want to do more, of course)
Firebringer to the rescue!

I'm looking for someone to backup mod for Pokemon Ruby Mafia. I will be traveling out of the country from July 20th to 29th would like to fully hand the game off to a backup over that time. I don't expect to need assistance beyond those dates. Backup must meet the requirements to moderate in the Mini Theme queue.
If you're interested in helping out please send me a PM. Thanks!
Looking for a temporary backup mod for Mini Normal 2081. I have surgery tomorrow and will be in the hospital for at least two to three days, and will need someone to manage votecounts during that time. I may still be able to go online occasionally but in case there are complications, I'd feel safer having a backup mod. Please PM me if you're willing and I'll add you to the appropriate PTs.

no edit powers but I did get a response for this and no longer need it!
Have a mini them going up soon. /in'd to mod earlier today. Check out the queue for the game details.

- Like, Momo is the most mislynchable player on all of mafiascum right now. I'm not day 1 lynching him.
TheGoldenParadox
- As it stands, momo is a great player or maybe the most mislynchable player on the site right now

beeboy - Everyone thought this game was made to troll pie but it was really made to troll pisskop. Almost50 pisskop: Overall, that's a townie slot. Don't ask for specifics because with PK everything can be interpreted either way. It's probably WHEN he says/does things that matter, so it's more of a matter of conception rather than solid reasoning.
Need a back-up for Mainstream Mafia II: Dungeons & Dragons Edition. Con: it's 40 players. Pro: My last Large Theme was 30 players and RichardGHB did literally nothing at all. There's no difference here.

Looking for a backup mod for my upcoming 13-player Mini Normal. I have three planned periods of V/LA over the next 1.5 months, each only two days long, so I'm looking for someone who can post a few vote counts during the brief periods I'll be away. Also looking if possible for a game integrity consultant for the same game who will know the setup but not the role distribution. If necessary, I will consult this person about any game integrity issues that may arise. I'm fine with having these two roles performed by separate people or to have a backup mod who agrees not to read certain spoiler tags in the Mod thread (unless something happens to me and they need to take over moderation duties permanently, of course).
Edit: Filled, much appreciation to Untrod Tripod and chkflip.
