Taboo of Mod. Question

It's a well known fact..despite your post saying they are extremely secretive in all their moddly endeavors.

The reason I said that and even why I started this thread, RashnuX, is because of the Stickied Thread in this Forum ("Comments") that states, (on how to become a mod) "don't ask".

Actually the responses that you have received are somewhat based on truth, and some on opinion. Though even the opinions hold truth, they are not the set guidelines. Mods pick Editors and Mods, Pet gives the final answer. It is a well balanced process when it works, which has a low retention rate at best. And for a many of good reasons.

Bottom line they would be looking for well rounded members who have demonstrated for a period of time to be helpful, active, and generally have a good demeanor. Who they choose and how they go about it is indeed "Mod Business", and can not be disputed.
