This has been going on for a long time. Jonny-Forumgoer logs in day in and day out trying to become a moderator by any means.
This trend isn't new.
However you're missing the point of those threads. As of late, these threads have become very valid as we've got a whole new wave of forumgoers (Halo 3).
Well... if you wouldn't mind paying the lot of us around 45+K a year, sure... we'll all rotate shifts and make it a point to be on for at the very minimum of eight hours a day... it's not like we don't have lives, or jobs or families...
I don't mean to say that we need more. The threads are valid because the promote positive discussion whether one agrees with wanting more moderators or not. I'd much rather see threads that deal with the community that get 100+ replies rather than "Screenshots not updating, halp", "How do I get recon armor?", etc. Achronos has mentioned giving you guys more tools and that more moderators is a last resort thing. If these threads weren't created, we'd have no reassurance (the fact that you guys may get shiny new toys is reassurance for me). Thanks for the sarcasm though, I apprecate it. :)

I don't think the OP was asking about the "Hey, how do I become a moderator" threads. I think he was talking about the numerous threads in this forum asking:
- Why don't I see any mods online?
- We need more mods.
- What are we going to do about all the spam, flame wars, duel accouts, H3 forum, etc?
- Culture of B.net is declining due to lack of moderating
But all these threads should be moot since Achronos has come out and said that they aren't appointing new ninjas anytime soon and that he had some new tools coming to help the current mods.
Oh I know what he was talking about, but I don't think that those threads are made by people wanting to be moderators. That's why I said...

Because, like I said earlier, I think those threads are valid because they at least promote some discussion that isn't whining about Halo 3.
