Gee, this thread has gone from everyone wanting to be a mod to no one wants to be a mod.

Actually I left off a bit of what I meant to say (it was kinda included in the quote).
I never wanted to be a mod. I dont like motor scooters they're underpowered.
Maybe my small joke is too dated. Here's a hint, 'The Who'.

Yea, and overusing that button will lead to a PCR.
Promise.

That makes me wonder if you are alluding to a precedent.

I am eminently suspicious of people who want to be mods.......although I think it would be a good strategy to let them, because most will run when they see the work involved.

A precedent would lead you to believe that it's never happened before.
And others have been warned about it.
Yeah, and Spike, it is considerably more work than I thought it would be. But I must admit that the RON forum requires less energy than the OTF.

Not surprising, the OT has higher membership, turnover and persons being creative with titles for various reasons.

Be related to one. 
On the serious side, not wanting to be a mod is probably the number 1 requirement.

Not wanting to have a life must be the next one.

What is this "work" thing you mention? Is it like that joke about "Real Life"?

Wish I'd seen this sooner.
NukeMaster sure does ask a lot of questions... I know, I've been the one they have been directed at most of the time recently, eh NM?
It seems that becoming a mod is not something that will happen with any form of regularity, and after being a regular member here for some time (read: years), you realise this. Some of us (myself included) are granted small powers over a forum or two in order to keep that forum looking nice, but it is only the REAL mods (Mark, Dan, Ming, rah etc.) who have the abilities of PCR, ban and doubtless other things of which we cannot even conceive.
For NM (not that I'm implying you are asking this of course - far be it from me to put words in your mouth - not that there's anything WRONG with that  ) and any of those who may entertain the idea they want to be a mod - why? If all you want is to be able to top and detop threads, edit titles and close threads, then a mini-mod like HTower or I can do that in the name of keeping our forum of interest going. We are eminently replaceable. In the Civ3DG the President gets these powers, so if you are a successful in an election you have that responsibility passed on to you (along with me ATM, since I have been around long enough to have taken up maintaining things like the Directory).
If you join the InterSite DG for Civ3 and become a Consul, you again have said powers, but you will find time is very short with everything you MUST use your powers for.
If however you want to be a full mod - why? Do you want to be able to PCR and ban people? If so this would automatically explain why becoming a full-fledged mod is so difficult, and certainly not a good thing to bestow on too many people.

And we must not forget another important trait for being a mod. Maturity.
