A moderator is sort of a 'supreme' member on the website. They are somewhat like miniature administrators that monitor the website while I, the Administrator of the website, am or absent... Regardless, they are normal members and should be viewed as such but with more respect. Follow the rules, and respect the moderators, and your time here on the forum will be a great experience.
Moderators-Please ReadBe respectful to all members, and do not act like a jerk just because you have a higher ranking. Also make sure to correct people's mistakes in a polite way.

If someone says:

That's so gay

Give them a warning.

That's it, there's no simple test. I will invite you to become one if you are good for the job. Don't ask to become one, you, most likely, will not even be considered if you desperately plead.

2) You will be joined into the Moderators group.
