So, if I remember correctly, at some pont there was a trust level even greater than master. What happened to it? I remember it was called ‘Leader’.

It was reserved exclusively for admins and was used to do fancy admin stuff. The only way to get it is to have an admin grant it to you, which if you are not an admin, does not happen.

This is something better to PM to them, as otherwise it will clog up this post. I do believe they ask to be PMed as well, but please corrects me if I’m wrong.

You got it right, it’s something that should be PMed

I’m not sure if this has ever been publically answered before, but how exactly do you become a Mod?

From what I understand, you are selected from a group. You cannot apply. (with the exception of Political Slime).
According to the Eljay Johnsen show featuring PS.

I used to have the rank of master, but got demoted and never got it back, despite being very active. Why?

As @ProfSrlojohn said, there is no formal application process. The moderators are hand picked by the staff members whenever new mods are needed.
In Slime’s case, he had sent a message to TTV asking to become a mod. And after some deliberation by the staff, he was made one when new mods were needed. However, Slime is very much the exception to the rule. Generally staff members are the ones who send messages to people they want to hire.
As such they compose a list of potential mods. So if you want to be on that list, you’d better be an upstanding member of the community- flagging spam and so forth and who knows, whenever new mods are needed they might consider you.
There are many different requirements involved with maintaining Master. You can always PM a mod to find out which requirements you currently aren’t meeting.

Sometimes, people try to start contests, but their topics are shut down since they aren’t masters.
I’ve recently become a master, so am I allowed to to start those contests with the same rules, or do I need to start my own original competition?

There are very specific guidelines for running contests that can be found in the rules:
If your contest meets all those requirements, then it should be okay to run one.

Is it possible to move off topic threads to different topics?

I think only mods can do that

Mods and masters can do that, so yes.

I’m a master. Do you know how to do it?

There should be a button near the title of a topic that looks like a pencil. It allows you to edit the title as well as the category in which the topic is in.

Perhaps I should have worded my question better. What I want to do is move a string of replies to a different topic.
