  76 <Br>
  77 <B>Question: What is aura?</b>
  78 <Br>
  79 <Br>
  80 <i>Answer: Aura is the GameFAQs Hell equivalent to GameFAQs' karma. Aura determines user levels, and aura can also be exchanged by a user to buy certain privileges, such as a secret board, or a special title for a user. The only way to obtain aura is by posting intelligent, funny, or informative messages, which must then be suggested by another user. A moderator will decide if the message deserves aura, and how much.</i>
  81 <Br>
  82 <Br>
  83 <B>Question: How do you tell whether a message gained or lost aura?</b>
  84 <Br>
  85 <Br>
  86 <i>Answer: If a message gains aura, you'll see a small green "+" symbol next to the "Suggest For Aura" link on the message. If a message loses aura, you'll see a small red "-" in the same place.</i>
  87 <Br>
  88 <Br>
  89 <B>Question: How do you become a moderator?</b>
  90 <Br>
  91 <Br>
  92 <i>Answer: A user can only become a moderator if he applies for it when moderator applications are open, and is chosen by the administrator for the position then. There are no other ways to become a moderator, and if you ask to become one, you won't.</i>
