I dunno, George. You will have to ask Gus about that. At least you get a rank. We moderators are not entitled to anything.

sorry Peter, we do have bigger pm space for moderators and other privledges, but i agree we will have to ask the team to find out what more to give the team for their enormous help.

Any special name for the team instead of moderators and admin? maybe God-like beings or blackhole or neutron star or even better creators of the universe :P ?

You get roped in. When the moderator list depletes through attrition, the moderators recommend to Gus members who they think would be good at it, and Gus invites them to moderate. If you wanted to volunteer, the moderators would discuss your offer and make a recommendation to Gus. About the only real Godlike advantage to being a moderator is global editing ability.

After so many cloudy nights... when I would have enough of them clouds... who knows? Maybe I'll ask for myself to be a purple rectangle star? Why not? And not a dwarf, that's for sure. A gigantesque one!
