^^^ This. A hundred million times this.
I for one didn't have to do anything special to get selected for Mod status; apart perhaps from earning some little respect from those who decided I was worthy of the position. I merely logged in one morning to find a private message from Tiberius inviting me to the team.
Precisely my experience, with the exception that I think it was Shell B, not Tiberius who extended the offer, over 5 years ago now.
