What are you asking? Are you asking to be a moderator on the web site?

Send me a PM and let me know more. It is hard to tell much about a person who has only been on the site for one month and made their first post asking about being a moderator. Moderators come and go. Everyone volunteers with good intentions but never fallow through with there intentions.

Interesting question attroll. Perhaps if you would post the requirements and expectations here some decent candidates might be interested.

Good idea. I will work on that later. I am getting ready to run out right now. I will post on that later.

I don't know about hard and fast rules for moderators, but my own two cents is that however well-meaning the offer to moderate might be, I think one should probably have more than three weeks' experience with a website, and should be an involved and active participant, before volunteering to help administer the site.

But maybe that's just me.

I agree 100% Jack that is why I pointed it out. We are not dying for moderators right now anyways.

Its not just you! I was looking for the words, and you found them before I did, thank you!

Besides, I think those that are already moderating these forums do a fine job! Unless they need (ask for) the relief...

How about you Jack? Being moderate is probably not a requirement for the position of moderator so apply now! :D
