OK, just so's there's no confusion here, this is how we decide who the mods are going to be.
The backbone of the mod portfolio is and always has been those who work for PGi and therefore people like Beaker, Manning26 and Tendering are automatically mods.
Others, such as Buddha, Mario and Stongle have proved to us they are both trustworthy and reliable.
Lump was made a honourary mod for the day because he and Lemon went and got me a cup of tea when my back was bad at Campaign but if the real truth be known...it helped a certain scumbag stay out of the A and E department ....and if you can work the connection between the tea and the scumbag...I would be well impressed.
And so, if you wish to become a mod, then as long as you have a goos sense of humour, reliable and of course trustworthy, then you have a chance.
As for me and how I got the Supermoderator status?
Well, that's more a question of philosophy ..........that's like asking what was there before the Big Bang .......
And the answer to that is............no, not me...it's Rancid....
