I certainly agree that in the long term we need one. I'm not actually sure what the full range of a mods powers or responsibilities are - or even how to go about becoming one. On the whole we can regulate ourselves on here unless another Superhorns turns up suddenly. The only contact I have had with mods has been to have predictions league threads stickied or unstickied (not sure if these words have arrived in the Concise Oxford yet !). So if i said yes I'll do it I would be completely in the dark as to what I was letting myself in for - similar to many on here I imagine. Also I am not what you might call a digital native - and don't want to be one. This last is added to the fact that I am generally reducing my time spent online in order to sleep better and give my eyes a bit of a rest (and I know mods are expected to read all posts on here). The long and the short of it is that I will do it as a last desparate solution if nobody else steps in (although I have no idea who to contact in that eventuality).
