Personally, yes. I would want to be a mod. What about you? This is just a hypothetical and not meant for anything else.

Bonus question, have you ever nominated someone. I have not.

Look, this isn't a republic or a democracy. You're not going to be a mod even if you have popular support.

Dear Gods no...in the words of Dwight D. Eisenhower, "Any man who wants to be president is either an egomaniac or crazy.", and I think that applies to working as a mod as well.

No offence meant to mods of course, but I can't help but think it'd be absolutely insane!

Yeah, something tells me that if I was a mod, I wouldn't be a particularly good one.

I'd get fired because of inactivity. I am gone for at least three quarters of the day every day if not more. I'm either too reluctant to ban people or too eager, no middle ground with me.

Stop with the I want to be a mod threads. Do you want to be a DoS character.

But to answer the question, not at the moment. I have modded many small community forums in the past and I can say definitively it doesn't add anything to the experience. I personally would never expect to be a moderator on this forum.
Honestly who knows what about anything anymore.

Nope. I'd be an awful mod. I'd outright refuse to enforce half of the rules of this site.

Couldn't put up with all the people who whine about nonsense.

Though reading report threads is good for some level of amusement. That's sort of like being a mod, right?
