simple, with length of membership comes knowledge and experience, the site has history ex members that need to be watched as they constantly try to rejoin for one reason or another, while it might not make u the perfect candidate and it isnt the only reason for being a mod...it helps personally i dont think people should be a mod here unless they have been a member for at least a year, because of the way the site develops and grows it can be to much for a n00b to handle

you want opinions here goes. why does everyone think they deserve to be mod???? hell michman made mod and hes really a hard nosed prick sometimes. please noone take offense to anything said here but im calling it like i see it. now honestly what does being a mod do for you treeman? you cant continue to help ppl daily unless youre getting paid for it? want the ability to ban ppl? i mean seriously!!!! ive been here over a year and help ppl daily. whether it be gaining them points. answering questions about the site. staking them. and many other things. also ran a client league. plus helping run a march madness pool as we speak. do you see me begging to be a mod or even making a thread on it????
if zab needs a mod he will make a post about it. this is really a thread that dont need to be seen. again NO OFFENSE

^^^ Gets it.
I'll add this from my own experience of actually having been a Mod in other places: When you have never done it before, it's a steep learning curve. Transitioning from being a member who can pick and choose who you chat with, who you trade jabs with, to being a perceived leader whom MUST tolerate all you annoying fuckers (and you pretty much all become annoying at this point in the game... sometimes) while trying not to look like you play favourites AND being expected to know everything there is about everything related to the site *AND-AND* not being allowed any room for error by the masses, **AND-AND-AND** putting up with the abusive behaviour of those whose sole purpose in life seem to be to try and bring you down simply BECAUSE you are a MOD....... well, it's exhausting at times. Are there perks? Sure, depending which site you are on, how it is run, and how supportive the other Mods and/or ADMIN are, ya there can be.
All of that aside, I am of the strong opinion that there should be no need for campaigning for a position. One of the sites I was MODING for did this regularly and it was horrible. Frankly, the average member of the average site can't be trusted with a vote on something like this. I feel that when and IF ZAB feels it's time for another MOD, he and the current MODS should discuss candidates privately and approach those THEY THINK would be ideal, and bring on only those that really want the position. If there isn't anyone that fits, then do without unless desperate.
Regarding the OP.... well tree, I don't doubt that you might have a lot to offer, but I would still say not yet man, not yet.
I would also say... be careful what you wish for brotherTON is GONE. Blame the Mods. They stopped caring, or at least that's how it looks and feels.
