I have to say, and this is just my personal opinion...Being a Moderator or an Admin is highly overrated, it sounds fun at first, but it really is a chore...I respect you for trying JM

If there was one "Moderator-like" job I actually enjoy, it's being an IRCop or Network Admin, because then I can at least just stand back, let people fight it out, and kline (Kill line, it disconnects a client from a server) them from afar! lol I tend to look for jobs that are difficult though, I want to be a teacher O_O that should say something...I see why you want to become a mod JM, I just think you should really step back, and look at what you'd have to do, you have to be totally non-judgemental, if one of your dearest friends breaks the rules, you might have to ban them...I know how that is, I've been there, it's a very difficult position...You are going to be subject to abuse, about your decisions, such as closing a thread, or banning someone...

I mean, It's a big decision man, I just hope you thought about all this you know?
