A mod should IMO also have some kind of good example function.
This Forum (and therefore Bitcoin) looks totally scammy to new people (that don't know yet what Bitcoin exactly is) if half of it's Users advertise for Gamblin and dodgy investments with signal color sigs.
That you take part in this disqualifies you IMO
I don't think it matters much, for example John K. used to advertise some gambling site in his sig when he used to be a global mod.
And he also disappeared. I'm very honest and available.
