Nobody 'convinces us' to make people moderators. Staff are chosen from any and all members who that staff of the time believe will make a good contribution to the running and moderation of the forum. People can try and convince us all they want but if we don't need a new moderator and we do not believe they are a good fit then it won't matter.

I merely logged in one morning to find a private message from Tiberius inviting me to the team. I had no expectation that the day would be any different to any other. Nor did I then, and nor do I now, have any knowledge of the discussions that took place behind the scenes that prompted the invitation.
