You mentioned earlier that you're a mod on another site, I've always been curious though...
How does one actually become a moderator??

I Own two sites and Mod two others. It is different on all forums. Some will post a thread stating they are looking for Moderators..and you apply with in. (your posting history and activity is reviewed). Some will only use people they personally know or are recommended by another moderator... It varies...
All boards have an area we do not see. Only Moderators or Admins can see it or access it. The voting/discussion/nominating goes on there.
On one of the boards I just sent a PM to the Admin stating if they ever needed a mod I had experience and was available. He mad me a mod the next day.
This is a large board with a lot of activity. If you are an active member and enjoy the posting and replying you may not want to be a Mod... It can become work at times. Or you could get stuck moderating a not so fun area depending on how the work load is distributed.
The physical promotion is easy. The Admin goes to the ACP or your profile and changes your user group. These boards are vBulletin probably in the 3.X version area... Cant be exact since this is the Branding free package.
