user33: I see a lot of users are automatically chnaged from normal user into Moderator So is their steps to follow to be Moderator or specific number of reputation or badge or something other.

user149: Those users are "community managers", and they are employees (working full-time and getting paid a salary) from the Stack Exchange company.
To become a "site moderator", there will be 3 candidates chosen via an election which will take place at least a month from now (if and only if the site passes the Private Beta stage and enters Public Beta).
