		It's up to the discretion of the staff.  We have a "don't call us, we'll call you" policy.

		I think most moderators are members at the board for at least a year before they're considered for staff.  It's based upon the member's overall conduct--there are members who have been here for two years or more who aren't in consideration for staff because of past conduct--even with that past conduct a *long* way in the past, they can't swing enough votes in staff to get knighted.
Before anyone becomes a mod, the whole staff has to vote on it and come up with a candidate that everybody can at least aquiesce to.  The decision to Knight Leeza and Purgatory (our most recent additions) came after days of debate in-Staff.

		In summary, be the exact opposite of the following members:
Linus
Del Murder
Spaceman Spiff
Al Bhed Rikku
More to be added as I think of them.

		My advice to you (Al Bhed Rikku): Don't try.

		You have a 1/3800 chance. Plus, they probably have choices for the new mods, plus I think they would choose peole who have been on for a year.
My advice: Start your own forum!
