is it about power?

well, actually more like

is it about revenge?

or actually wanting to help

do they understand it's a tough and thankless job?  let's ask a former mod.  

looks like he's a little preoccupied at the moment, maybe later ...

so what is it?

of all these people who asked, i believe none of them made it.  so it's a bit like

which reminds me of

perhaps we can hear from the eager applicants themselves.

Remember when Pashak wanted to be a mod?

yes, i believe it's link #4 :-)

1 bonus is that you can't block a mod

I just want power. Lots and lots of power.

Before the world wide web 🗺  🕸

Mods, just hung around 

In the UK 

In HK

In NY

so retro - i like :-)  reminded me of stallone's earlier appearance in woodie allen's movie

He looked so different as Rambo😋😋😋😊

Girl 👧 Mods

not to forget our own batgirl

nice, anok :-)  why do mods invoke the retro in us?  do we think of them as an old fashioned grumpy teacher?

gotta admire stuzzi's 1 track mind ;-)

Hahaha hahaha haha haha 😁😂😁😂😁😂😁😂

Oh stuzzi stuzzi 

Most people that ask to be mods, especially in the forums, probably never need to be. 

Wanting to be staff is a bit different, depending on why it's being asked. Staff positions are paid as far as I'm aware. Making money on chess activities would be nice, instead of paying all the time 

If someone is asking for power then if they somehow make it, they probably won't last long since there are certainly limits on what can be done.

Speaking of power,
