User blog comment:LordOtherGuest/What's the requirements to be a VSTF?/@comment-104.207.195.34-20150817183804

OK here's a realistic breakdown of what you actually need to do to get into the VSTF:

1.  Do a load of countervandalism work. Try joining the IRC channels related to the VSTF to get updates plus the CVN channel for Wikia to see a feed of all the edits happening on Wikia. You'd also want to report vandalism DIRECTLY to the VSTF. They like active CV'ers like you.

2.  Get to know the staff through Skype and chat. The staff help pick potential VSTF members through their sekrit Skype channels and if you're a likeable, trustworthy dude who does a lot of CV work + Wikia work, why not you?

3.  Be experienced on Wikia. You should be a longterm admin who's been fighting the trolls for all their adminship.

Scheme and work your way up. Yeah, this post is somewhat satrical and written in a jokingly way, but it's actually how a load of walruses made their way into the ranks of a VSTF member.
