^^^ 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 brother
