I'm curious how he "offered" himself for the position.
Actually it's a little game we admins like to play sometimes. The talk around the coffee table will go something like this:
"So, now that we've all elevated each other to the rank of admin or supermod, we need some moderators to do the actual work. Who's sensible and trustworthy and all that?"
"No one, really. They're pretty much the same scum and trash as last year."
"Yeah, same scum and trash as every year."
"Hey, I have an idea! Let's just appoint the next person to ask if they can be a moderator."
"Whoa! Dude! Bestest idea ever! That'll throw them for a loop."

Jarno: "I would tremblingly like to wield the moderator sceptre of desolation against the vast unfriends of upheaval and milk."
"Hmm... no. That would be a crime against the universe."

DDD: "Dear administration, I have this craving to delete other people's posts and hack into their porn folders and there's some other stuff but to make a long story short, how about you make me a moderator?"
"You got it. Welsh, go make the announcement."
I swear it's all true, except for the part where we draw sweetpeas out of a hat.
Sorry, Per. -DDD
