One gets asked to join by the current admins/mods. One doesn't just sign up to be one

To be considered, I would think helpfulness, level-headiness, consistency, and post quality over time all play a role
 
How to you get asked to be one?

Uh perhaps show that you can read sage advice. It was literally posted above. :cool:

Let me quote the entire post for you.

Hello, Mods/Admins
How to you become a mod/admin for MR. I tried looking in you FAQ but couldn't find anything. Please reply.

If you're looking to become a mod yourself, I wouldn't bet on it.

BUT I am also interested in how mods are chosen. That could be "confidential" stuff though, idk. On most forums I know of, the admin(s) pretty much just choose some respectable people after they've built trust. But with a forum this big, it seems like that method would be hard.

EDIT: Posted too late... Ignore me
