Replied to your PM, but for those wondering: HWF looks at active members who we feel could be good mods and watch them over time. If we feel the person is a good candidate, then we extend the offer. They are implemented if they accept the offer and then assigned as needed.
Hehe..i gues you have this thing in HWF Rules as well...coz i remember reading somthing simillar somewhere else as well.
yeah, i think asked this a while ago, and if i remember correctly, i was told the same BTW: & i was not a happy bunny[ot]donkey stamped his foot hard, then started :crying: cos it hurts[/ot]
Personally when it comes to Moderator positions on forums I generally believe that the more you ask about them, the less likely the admins will consider you for the position. In all my experience of moderating/being an admin, I've only asked for a position once, and that was my first mod position. All the other times it's been done exactly the way this site does it. So there's your tip on having a better chance to be a moderator, don't ask, let your actions speak for themselves.
