I don't understand all of these "looking for moderators" threads. Why don't you pull from the active members that make a positive contribution to your site? If your site is new, and you are lazy, maybe what you are really loking for is a paid posting service. -Raymond
I agree, people are stupid. Their forum is probably empty and they are just looking for an extra member.
Don't make strangers staff. That's a good way to get your forum screwed up. Like mentioned before.. promote within. The dedicated members who visit everyday and contribute would make a potential moderator. Also start the mods off with the basic power's. When you trust them more, add more powers.
