    You don't become a mod.

    The mod becomes you. (And by asking, its never going to happen now)

    You don't become a mod, you are born a mod.

    If you're female you have to send nekkid pictures to the admins for review, if you PM me some I can check if they're up to standard.

    Is that why you're no longer a mod?

    He obviously said - poo-sea. I think it means hat, or something.

    Turns out if you ban yourself you can't actually unban yourself and you have to ask a co-mod to do it :o

    Im sure a few of the mods and admins have good jobs outside of boards ,And they just do it because they like boards ,I have seen mods and admins answering posts at 03:00 in the morning and apologising to people because they couldn't get back sooner because of family stuff ,takes dedication IMO

    I Mod on two forum here now, it used to be three. On each of them I PM'd the resident Mods and asked to be considered for the position when one became available.

    Of course at the time I was active on all the forum, I dropped one as it comflicted with work.

    For your info.
