Thank you but no, I already hold to much sway around here with my decisive leadership and ability to make tough calls under pressure, making me a mod would upset the balance.

Its true, Ythan is undoubtably losing sleep as is
Wodan values cunning as well as courage, if you are to usurp the shroomery it would be best to wait I think, lest your rise to glory be too obvious and the affair make for a dull story.

The secret is that the grail is actually just a goblet. And it was used to perform a medieval rendition of 2 girls 1 cup before being burned for witchcraft.
I accept only turkey or chicken tacos tyvm.

 That's fine, chicken tacos already are. Just don't tell the administration. Taco bell's mexican pizza used to be amazing. Tho last time I had it it was like 50% cold refried beans and <20% meat. Granted that was nearly a decade ago... Can't imagine fast food getting better at any rate...

My two issues with taco bell:
1. Way too expensive considering how badass my homemade tacos and burritos are
2. Not one dumb fucker in the whole place can evenly distribute ingredients through out a grilled stuffed burrito.
They should go the subway route and hire "Taco Artists"

One thing I want to do is post my M.S. work online. I am a research student who studies advanced statistics and research methodology. Not to say I am always right, but together, in the Shroomery University, we could find truth.
We could use research and the scientific theory to find truth.
If you can prove me wrong, then we both win -- simply because we have found truth, together.

What does being a mod have anything to do with finding truth? Will becoming a mod magically give you all of the answers?

XUL said: To the Shroomery,
There are 2011 moderaters and further. It's crazy one cannot apply to be a moderator.
Apparently, if you ask to be a moderator, then you will never be one.
That was my fate.
Ythan told me that.
I hate that I cannot become a leader in my own web society. It's a sleight.
Ythan and all the mods are laughing and debating, but in the end their system is false. This place is not a democracy, but rather a fascist-pick-your-own-way society.
Friends of friends become moderators, but not those who wish too. As friends become moderators, the website becomes more biased by the day. There is no room for opposition or the null hypothesis. Instead there is an agenda and ideology that surpasses the Shroomery Community's free ideas.
Indeed, the old are left behind with little chance of becoming part of the Shroomery's ideas. Rather, leadership is fueled by its own agenda.
I have bottled up this false lie for so long. Now I let it go.
Now you know. If you wish to become a moderator, and you ask, then you will be denied. This community is only for those who embrace the ideology of Ythan and his minions. It reminds me of Hitler.
-XUL
It's not a set in stone rule or anything. More of a Shroomery meme. A longstanding tradition if you will. But generally anyone who asks or demands to be a moderator will be the worst moderators, generally speaking. Those usually turn into the craziest and most power hungry ones. It's more of a general guideline or a red flag to look out for more than anything else. Of course there's exceptions to every rule. Mods are generally picked on their presence, personality and contributions and they are generally almost always done by consensus...
And being a mod isn't very fun or all that great to begin with. It does suck some of the fun out of the shroomery. It's a thankless job with no pay. Sounds awesome right.
Anyway it definitely isn't a democracy, very true. It's a privately owned forum by our lord and savior Ythan. Hail Ythan
Anyway everyone knows the first rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club and the first rule of shroomery is don't ask to be a mod because then you will never be one
It sucks anyway, you'll have more fun as a regular member.

What exactly do you gain by becoming a moderator? Seems like extra work to me 
It's basically like a police officer with a ban gun instead of hand gun.

XUL said: ... I would like to help, but my chance is long gone. Other people, in my steps, remember -- do not ask to become moderator or volunteer help. Your help and enthusiasm is not wanted. Rather, they need your anonymity and allegiance to a certain ideology.
As has been noted, everything you want to offer in terms of help you can already do, moderators are more of a cleanup crew.
Someone who is enthusiastic to be a moderator likely has such a distorted view of what it means to be a moderator that they typically do not make a good candidate.

Becoming a moderator changes how every member of the board responds to the individual. Many members antagonize moderator teams, many members try to 'become friends' with mods so they can try to get mods in on their side of arguments, and moderator and administrative staff has completely different expectations.
Source: several years as a moderator for an online gaming forum, given the position after about 4-6 months of starting playing the game and posting on the forums. Accepted the position because I was willing to help, and told them if they don't have anyone better for the position then I would fill it if it needs filling. Did not actively want to be a mod or pursue being a mod, but accepted the responsibility despite a slight apprehension towards having the power.
