Have you ever wondered how many PM's mods get asking "hey, do you guys want another moderator?" or something of the sort? I'm guessing it's not ALOT.. but more than you'd expect.
I wouldn't have thought a lot (if any) before this was posted:
I'm willing to add moderators to help clean up spam, volunteers should just send me a PM on the forum. I will decide based on your track record on the forum. A good contributor will make a good mod I believe.
I'm sure that the if you are mod-worthy then the current mods will know your name from posts you have made. It doesn't take too long to get to know the good people :o
