the benefit that i see is that you have the power to delete posts. and ban people when they are being mean to the other TB'ers.
That's no benefit - it's a responsibility!
I would say that anybody who see this as a benefit should not be allowed to be a Mod!
Come clean - you really just want an avatar without having to stump up the cash!
Cheapskate!!

i could care less about avatars. as soon as i get one of those funky gift cards that you can use anywhere im gonna get a supporting membership.
But even then will there be nobody home when he tries to get through?
There'll still be no one home.
you get to meet The Qintar, Talkbass Ghost and Maki$&>3r$7@r.....
Oh, and you get to shave unnaturally.
If I were paul, I wouldn't pick you to be a mod based on that mentality.
I was a mod for three years. I found this site, loved it, and offered to help out in any way possible. I feel I'm levelheaded, take criticism well, and frankly had the urge to help out in a SELFLESS manner. You need to give your time without using it in a manner that will benefit you, and it frankly seems like you just want the power.
How old are you anyway?
im 12. i forgot to put in that post about the deletion of posts is only possible if in the best interest of the community to get rid of the post.
mods have to be thick skinned, as they will often have someone pissed off at them for various reasons.
they often have to be knowledgable about the area they are moderating. (most of the time).
almost no banning get's done without talking about it with other mods and/or paul.
they have to be able to volunteer a lot of time.
we don't do it because it's "fun". we don't do it because it's "cool".
we do it because we've all spent massive amounts of time on TB and want to give back in any way we can.

Too sexy huh?
I'm too sexy to be mod, too sexy for TB, too sexy YEEEEAAAAHH...
It's not as glorious as you seem to think it is.
And it's just my opinion, but I think 12 is probably a little on the young side.
