Stickied threads exist for a reason. But we will need a moderator for that board so that we don't have to continually pester global mods to sticky stuff.

I'm not sure what a moderator role entails, but already considered volunteering as 1 of 2 moderators for this new board, in case there are no other volunteers.

I don't recall ever seeing "requirements for being a Mod.," but it just could be coincidental.... of course, having some level of technical expertise in the area being moderated or activism on the forum.. or maybe even thinking about number of posts or how many merits or trust you have received would be likely considerations.. and you never know if theymos might already have a list of already existing members in mind.. I know that I have seen posts that praise/criticize mods, so surely the topic of what are mod requirements and/or concerns about whether a mod is sufficiently fulfilling requirements comes up from time to time.. I might be rusty on the topic.. which sometimes might include how much any of us, including yours truly, follows Meta threads?

Mods should fulfil at least one thing well and that thing is handling reports on that board. If a pile of reports keeps accumulating for that particular board then that means the moderator isn't doing their job properly and needs to be replaced by someone who's active enough to take an action on them. Of course having some technical competence helps too as that will help you judge whether reports should be thrown out or acted upon.
