No, I'm not the Webmaster. I am the Overlord, though.
Regarding the mods - they didn't ask, we asked them. If we want more, we'll ask the people we feel would do it correctly. If you want to be a mod the next time (assuming we do pick more in the future) we choose, then you should be a good community member. Participate, be nice to new members, add to the community in a way that makes people know and appreciate who you are. And don't ask to become a mod. We will ask you if we want you, and if we don't, we won't ask.
Being a moderator is all about trust. Since this is the Internet, that trust must be earned, and it is not easy to get.
