Good report is the key factor as it is the only way to judge how good you are reporting them and how good you would be as a mod to handle those cases.
I think it was a Global Mod who said it's been a very long time since a new Mod was appointed based on the reports he submitted.I don't remember that. But, I guess I have seen somewhere you or someone else quoted, and the phrase was similar like "You should not ask to be a moderator" is the first condition to be a moderator. Maybe other criteria were posted by theymos several times in several threads.
Anyway, I guess this part is the most important and wwzsocki may want to keep it in mind;
If a poll is created, I will not completely ignore the results, but I will also not use it as a primary influence. I'm more interested in arguments people have for or against certain candidates.
Good luck with your application
