How do you become a Moderator?

Is it possible to block PM's from moderators when the PM is not related to forum offenses?

Have you tried ignoring the PMs and if you're replying to them, have you stopped?

[flyingfox2002]

Yes I have stopped and I think I won't be getting any more PM's from now on.
I initially replied because I felt it was common courtesy to reply to a mod. I accept responsibility for that.

PS, I am just wondering if blocking non-forum moderating related messages from mods were possible for the future since I can block PM's from other users. I am not complaining about anyone in particular.

Hmmm... just wondering... Must moderators have good debating skills?

In the debates I've observed, I've hardly seen the Mods doing anything more than what their titles suggest - Moderating. So would it be fair if I answered 'No' to my question?

Mods usually try to stay impartial to avoid getting caught up and then being labelled as biased. We have our own opinions and you will still see us expressing them from time to time, but we just try to keep level headed about it all.

Moreover, I think most of the mods have been around for so long that we've seen a lot of things before and you just tend to keep away if there is something controversial because we've 'been there discussed that'.
