Right now, I'm not sure I'd be willing to apply because:

1) I've held both the position of administrator and moderator on three different forums. It isn't quite as prestigious as it sounds.
2) Due to my political stance (which is something of a rarity on this forum apparently), I'm not sure I'd make a popular moderator here.

A good moderator needs to always act in fairness and with objectivity. Only two people I've seen nominate themselves thus far, in my opinion at least, fit those criteria: Iandefor and bns. If I were an administrator here (and I have plenty of experience of that elsewhere), they are the two I would seriously consider. Choosing good moderators is of utmost importance; bad moderators can seriously alienate the members of a forum. Choose carefully.
