Kano asked for people to volunteer who would be interested in helping out in the forum, no one is nominated. and Kano decides . You had asked a couple of questions, I felt I answered them and offered some info also. so I guess write to kano if you are interested. I am sure you have read the link for what is expected for being a Mod. So I guess this will explain some criteria http://forums.kanoapps.com/showthread.php?8988-I-have-some-questions-about-Moderators!
Craig is onto something here. A free for all section would only cause more hatred. VC already can make it's own without giving people a place to have it fester more.
