This probably isn't the reason, but mods tend to have post counts in the high hundreds or even thousands. It represents activity and it's what makes those particular people desirable to moderate the site. Just one reason of a few, sorry.
Mr. Sam: Explaining things so Jake don't have to!
thanks mr sam i actually apreciate that, i have had 50 posts since joining 2 months ago, 25 posts a month, and countless posts in the live discussion spam zone and in here, the way i see it i have the potential to be mod in the future, but i respect the fact that if i became mod now with 50 posts it would be a negative step forward.
Aendanir i get the feeling you dont like me, thats fair enough, you have reasons, but im here to stay.
Jake heres hoping il be modding in the future. you could ban me if you feel it necissairy but i havent broken any rules and id like you to take a look at a few of my posts in the other forums before you do, if you do decide to ban me, thanks
