I was a member of Earth 2025 forums for 5 years. I heard that the administrator wanted people to help moderate the forums. I simply didn't even bother asking and decided to just remain a member like the rest of the guys. The next day I logged in I was promoted to moderator. I didn't even bother asking and yet  I still got promoted. What a joke man. In some cases my Union leader was promoted and he didn't even ask to become a moderator, so go figure.
