I hope I can do the job that you have been faithfully performing. Wish me luck.
For all so eager to be appointed, I can assure you that being a mod is no walk in the park. Wild has mentioned (and I believe in one post somewhere he even shot me with it) that he doesn't want a good poster to become a mod because they will lose their time posting and concentrate more on the forum administration. This is very true for me (I'm not saying I'm a good poster, though
). When you become a mod, you need to maintain order in the forum and it means browsing the forum around to ensure (by way of deleting, editing or closing threads) no useless arguments or foul mouthed language is used. I can assure you that this will tax your time and by the time you're done, you're either have no time to post, too tired or simply to pissed off by some of the fighting and you decide to leave without posting anything. Not to mention people calling you bias, double standard etc.
I'm not bitching or complaining, just telling you the fact. I can resign from it if I don't like it. And why some of us still want to do it? Let's just say we wish and want to do something good for the forum. Being a mod is just an extension of that wish. Nothing more, nothing less
