The only time a thread should be mad for a mod is when they get the job, which has happened to most mods, if not all of them. And all of these mods are correct, making a thread about being voted to be a moderator just lessens your chance of becoming one. If you would like to be a mod, email support@athinkingape.com saying why you think you should be one.
Mindy, Why rain on this threads parade? Do you need us to remember how much of a know-it-all mod pod you are?
