In my experience (years) of administrating/owning Minecraft servers...offering to moderate, essentially asking for Mod, is terrible etiquette and doesn't produce good Mods. And anyone who takes up Mods like that is generally going to find they get a sub-par staff team. Now I'm sure some people who offer to moderate have good intentions, but it isn't generally a good policy.
eh, i disagree... i just offered to moderate i didnt ask to be a mod, i offered. I know this is a new project so out of kindness i want to help if he needs it. There is a little bit of a difference. I know what you mean relative to 10 year olds begging to become a mod so i can see where you're coming from though
